What's playing now
Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)
Your February Horoscope by Susan Miller
Your home will be a major focus in February. If you are up to making changes, whether large or small, you'll be thrilled with the results. The solar eclipse that occurred last month on January 26 brought your home, property, and family-related plans to front and center of your life quite rapidly, so you may have already started to draw up blueprints.
As you enter February, you may begin to see important opportunities to make your lifestyle closer to the way you want it to be. Last month Mercury was in weak, retrograde motion, but happily, you can make solid plans now that Mercury will move ahead February 1.
Mars, your ruling planet, will arrive in the same area of home and property on February 4, marking Mars' first visit in two years. Once there, the Red Planet will join the Sun, Neptune, and Jupiter, all awaiting this energetic planet's arrival. This is A LOT of planetary energy to have at your disposal, all so beneficial, too!
If you would like to move, through leasing or buying a new space, you have one of your best opportunities in over a decade to do so. Good fortune Jupiter is now in your house of home for the first time since 1997 and will see to it that you find a spacious, sunny dwelling that should offer a view and possibly even big closets. Don't settle for anything less than the best of what you want!
You need not move to enjoy Jupiter's gracious luck. It may be as simple as clearing out closets, making repairs, adding a fresh coat of paint, and perhaps adding a new piece of furniture. Taken in the aggregate, these small changes would make a big difference. (The new piece of furniture you buy would not have to be costly. It may be a delicious find you spot on eBay or at a flea market. Fortunate Jupiter will bring you bargains now, so keep your eyes open.)
If you buy or lease, you may pay more than you had planned to, only because the space you find will be so valuable. Indeed, what you find may be too good to pass up! The value will certainly be obvious.
If you are trying to save your house from having it reclaimed by the bank, put on your thinking cap and try a host of solutions. Even though you find yourself in a tight spot, you will have massive cosmic support now, with so many friendly planets filling your home sector. Among them is Jupiter, not only the planet of good fortune, but also of miracles, so leave no stone unturned, dear Scorpio.
You may be deliberating with the idea of moving in with a lover, but if so, you might want to wait a bit longer to decide if that would be a good idea. Neptune has you very excited and happy, but you could be sweeping a tad too enthusiastically into the sea of love. Give this decision a little more time, say, to the end of July or early August.
A more spacious housing situation is certainly indicated. One Scorpio recently found her apartment doubled in size when her ex moved out - she got the place, and a divine place it was to be! Jupiter works in magical ways, wouldn't you say? You may also discover that your building is converting to condo, allowing you to buy, when you assumed that would never be possible.
Neptune will move very close to the Sun at this time, so be very careful about checking up on your housing's water supply. If you are moving into a new space you are buying, ask questions of the previous tenant, the neighbors, and the owner about water quality, possible flooding, and other related situations involving water, ice, mold, and so forth. Ask an engineer for a full report on the cleanliness of the water and whether any water damage has posed a problem in the past.
Just in case, with Neptune so active, be sure to have an insurance policy that will guard you against floods and any other possible water-related problems. I am being very cautious, that is all, so don't be anxious, dear Scorpio.
You may also want to check with an electrician too, to be sure your new upgraded space's circuitry will be support many high tech items like flat screen TVs, new kitchen appliances, computers, and other such electronics. If your building was built several decades ago, you will want to make sure your sockets can handle the additional electrical demand you will place on them.
Exceptional good news about home will come on February 24 when Mercury and Jupiter align. It'll be an ideal day to sign papers.
Your home life seems to be very connected to what is going on in your career, and you will see this to be true at the month's major moment, the lunar eclipse, February 9, operative plus or minus one week. You may need to relocate to accept your new post or it may be that your new job will allow you to upgrade your standard of living.
Watch for exciting career developments to surface on February 9 or in the days surrounding this date. If you have been interviewing for a new job, but have been unable to find out what is being discussed and decided behind the scenes, you will find out at this time for sure. If you are self-employed, you will be able to net a top new client, one that raises your status in the industry quite a bit.
Neptune will be active again, so be sure you understand the parameters of the job and what will be expected of you - ask many specific questions. Neptune can crate foggy situations, so there is some danger that you and your employer / client may be of two minds about that.
The job you will be discussing may go in one of two directions. The first would center you in the entertainment or fashion industry, with special emphasis on designers, music, celebrities, and hot new trends. The second way it may go is toward any and all industries that cater to children, including education, clothing, toys, books, children's TV programming, or is in some way connected to teaching.
Eclipses are famous for creating rapidly moving events, and bringing with them some urgency to make a decision quickly. You will go through the eclipse period far calmer if you don't overcrowd your schedule near February 9.
Many meetings and phone calls will come up on and near this date, and you'll need to have some elasticity in your schedule to respond to career offers and events as they rapidly unfold. Even if you currently hold the top position in your organization, you can always ascend to a spot even higher, dear Scorpio, a fact you will discover now. Some Scorpios will not hear of a new job on this date, but rather will have a February 9 start date that was accepted some time ago, with equally fine results.
Often eclipses ask us to "eclipse out" of a present job, so the decision to move to your new position, whether within your present firm or to a new company, may be quite sudden. Should you lose a job (very unlikely, but if you do), you will later thank your company for freeing you to find something better.
In that case, assertively begin your job search without delay, and by midyear you will be on the cusp of a new, better position. The end of 2009 will bring you plenty of professional accolades, so it seems clear you will be able to turn things to your advantage. As you see, no matter what happens, there is no need to feel stressed out. You are going to be fine.
After all these serious home and career decisions on the docket, you will need a little fun. The universe understands and will bring you a number of enchanting evenings.
First, Valentine's Day will see the moon in Scorpio, bringing to fullness all your most romantic desires and dreams for a perfect evening out with the one you love. Your sign is considered one of the most true blue, passionate, and also the most private of any of the signs. On this night, if you have a partner, suggest a way to best spend the evening. It is evident that your partner adores you and will want to please you.
If you have no special partner, you may meet your one true love sooner than you ever expected. The new moon on February 24 will fall in your romance sector and may bring a surprise meeting with someone quite intriguing. This same new moon will have you soon growing closer to your partner if you are attached.
Thanks to collaboration between Mercury and Jupiter on the very same day of the new moon, February 24, you may find this day particularly tender, ideal for a meeting of the mind and heart with the one you love.
A discussion about a present or soon-hoped-for pregnancy (or plans for a child you have now) may come up in February's last week. If you are just starting your family, may be worried about how you'd handle motherhood and a new job at the same time, but it simply comes down to having lots of love and passion as well as a penchant for organization, all elements you were born with in abundance.
Not interested in having a child? You won't lose out - this same trend will encourage your creativity on a very large scale. If you have a new position, it will give you plenty of room to show off your imagination. If you don't know about your new position yet (there is some indication some Scorpios may not know until early August), then your artistic expressions and sense of style will put you ahead of the pack and in line for that top job soon.
One of your happiest two days of the month for seeing gratifying progress on a personal matter dear to you will be February 16-17. That's when Mars, your ruler, will conjoin Jupiter, the planet of happiness and good fortune, a rare and sparkling aspect. This meeting of Mars and Jupiter won't occur again until spring 2011, so enjoy the results while you have it! Home, family, and real estate matters glow, as will conditions involving a project on the job. In fact, your pockets may brim with more cash as a result of what happens on this glorious set of days.
It's a powerful month and one that will point you in a whole new direction, whether at home, at work, or in your love life - but more likely at least two of the three, if not all!
Summary
All sorts of major stirrings appear to be bubbling up in your life these days. Last month you had a solar eclipse in Aquarius on January 26, and with a bevy of planets also filling your home sector during most of February, you may be getting ready to move or change the way your home looks and feels. If so, your timing couldn't be better. Last month, Jupiter, the giver of gifts and luck, entered your home sector, making 2009 the best year in a decade to change spaces.
While all of 2009 will be special for improving your living situation, February will be your best month of all, for you will have the support of so many other planets in Aquarius. If you need to do something difficult, such as to move across country, do a complete renovation, buy a house, or save your house from foreclosure, this would be the month to have talks, make applications, or draw up concrete plans, as the case may be. Realize that you don't have to actually finish things, but it surely would be the right month to start.
You may be changing your living arrangements because of a change that's brewing in your career. The full moon lunar eclipse may seal things on February 9, plus or minus one week. It appears one job will end and a new one will begin. I could be wrong, but it looks like you'll be leaving one career situation for another. These two separate situations may dovetail at the same time, but if they don't, don't worry - your chart shows plenty of evidence you are going up, up, up the ladder of success in life.
One of your happiest days of the month will be February 17, when Jupiter will align with Mars in your house of home. This day is worthy of five stars, so find something, large or small, to do to improve your home situation on that day. Order a piece of furniture, close on a house, rent a new apartment, or buy a flat screen TV. (Digital and electronic items are VERY favored on this day.)
Mercury is no longer retrograde as of February 1, so from February 4 onward (leaving a little room from the day Mercury turns direct) you can make all the big decisions you like.
When it comes to romance, Valentine's Day, February 14, should be really special this year - the moon will be in Scorpio, emphasizing your desires and dreams. If you are attached or married, chose a very private place to celebrate your love for each other.
If you are thinking of moving in with your sweetheart, I would like you to delay that decision for awhile because Neptune will be so very active. This suggests that you may not be thinking clearly. More facts will come into play, so take it slow. You can always decide to do so later. You are in the process of a vast life change, all of it exciting, so why rush things? You are the prize, dear Scorpio!
No special love? The new moon on February 24 will be your fairy godmother in helping you find your best opportunity in ages to meet new people. Who cares if Valentine's Day comes late as long as it arrives? Be out and about, dear Scorpio! If you are married and hope for a baby, this new moon would be one of the best to begin trying. Do so in the days that follow, as you will have 2-3 weeks.
Dates to note:
Your home, property, or the welfare of a parent will be your first priority in the first half of February. You can get so much done!
A career offer or thrilling development on the professional front will have your full attention: February 9 plus or minus four days.
Some eclipses assert their messages one month to the day later, plus or minus four days, so stay alert if you learn nothing now.) You may need to relocate to take full advantage of the job.
Married or single, dating or not, your most romantic evenings: February 14 -15 and after the new moon February 24-28. Other romantic dates include (as runner ups) February 6 and 20, but clearly the others have the edge.
A very lucky set of days for you: February 16-17. Home, real estate, family, job progress, and money all shine.
A heartfelt exchange with a romantic interest could touch you: February 24, a four-star night.
Home, property, and family-related changes are all made in heaven in early to mid-February. Jupiter will see to it that you find a dream living situation or bargain piece of furniture you have always wanted.
