Are you thinking about the possibility of moving or upgrading your furniture to make your home more inviting and stylish? Your timing could not be better. Keep your eye on the new moon, February 8, and the two weeks that follow. Something is about to come up, much to your surprise, and you will need to be decisive and be able to turn on a dime. The new moon will be in Aquarius, at 19 degrees, and will light your house of home and family. If you are not thinking of moving or buying new things for your home, you may be thinking about a family event that is soon to come up. If you have tried to help your mother or father with assistance they need in their own life, the solution is most likely to appear in February.

Venus will enter your home sector on February 16, to stay until March 11, making that phase an ideal time to work on your home to make it look just like the apartment or house rooms you love so much that you cut out of a magazine and have on your vision board. Venus will lead you to just the right furniture, linens, and accessories. Take the opportunity to make your home look as special as can be.

Last month, Mercury was retrograde, so it was not the time to buy new electronic items, but now, with the new moon in digital, innovative Aquarius, the sign that deals with all newly invented forms, and with a fine beam from electric Uranus, you could not wish for better time to buy an electronic treat for yourself, such as a new smart phone, Dr. Dre Beats earphones, or a flat screen smart TV. Start to do your research and be ready to buy, act, or hear news about a home or family-related matter AFTER the new moon arrives February 8.

This new moon will be filled with sugar and spice, for Uranus will be ideally positioned to send a supportive beam. You won't see the opportunity come up, but when it does, you'll want to move on it instantly. Saturn will also be in the right angle of the sky, and bring you a wonderful sense of security. You have so much going for you!

I have more special news for you! Mars moved into Scorpio on January 3, and will remain in your sign until March 5. Make no mistake, having Mars in Scorpio is a big plus for you, for it puts you front and center to all that happens now. You were motivated to move ahead assertively last month, but your timing was off - with Mercury retrograde, you soon discovered that truth. However, now you will have no barriers, and you can forge ahead, confident the force will be with you. Mars helps in all competitive matters, whether in athletics, academia (when trying to get into the right graduate school or college), or in business, as three examples, and you have the edge. Stretch to reach something that is hard to accomplish.

Backtracking to the beginning of the month, one of your very best days to act with energy and drive in regard to your edge with Mars in Scorpio will be on February 3, when Mars will be in sync with Pluto. Pluto is in your third house of communication, so February 3 would be ideal for handing in an important manuscript, working on or launching a new app or software you created, negotiating a big-money deal, or traveling to another city for any reason.

Over the weekend of February 6-7, you will also bring lots of good news. If you work on weekends, the Sun and Uranus will be beautifully oriented, so surprisingly exciting news will likely reach you, and when it does, you may feel that you scored a big breakthrough. If you don't work over weekends, this lucky happenstance may happen a day before, on February 5. Yay!

Also over this wonder-weekend of February 6-7, Mercury will be in elegant conversation with Jupiter, the giver of gifts and luck. Again, any travel you may be contemplating will be spectacular and bring all kinds of joyous results. It appears you will be with many friends and feeling so happy you could burst.

As you know, the new moon arrives February 8, but what I have not mentioned yet is that not only is that new moon made in heaven for family and home-related news and actions - the next day, on February 9, a Tuesday, Venus and Jupiter will be in touch, and these two benefic planets will be working hard for you, too. Venus will be in your travel / communication sector and reach out to generous, expansive Jupiter in your house of friends and hopes and wishes. Dear Scorpio, this month is truly remarkable. You are likely to hear from friends or be with them - either way your heart will likely expand with happiness.

On the weekend of Valentine's Day, February 14, Mars in Scorpio will reach out to Jupiter in Virgo in your eleventh house of friends. This tells me you might give a romantic party for friends, or go to a divine one that you get invited to, and if so, your timing would be perfect. The transiting moon will be in Taurus, the sign that lights your solar house of committed love, so this year, Valentine's Day will be an ideal day for you to meet new people if single, or if attached, to get engaged or wed, dear Scorpio.

Speaking of friends, the full moon on February 22, influential for a plus or minus four days, will also light this fairy-tale house of hopes, wishes, and friendships. You have quite a social time coming up, and again, you seem to be enjoying life so much you won't want to sleep! Life will be too exciting to miss a single minute. Neptune will be directly opposite this full moon, almost a sure sign you will be breathless with the romantic, silvery vibrations showering over you.

If your birthday falls on November 11, plus or minus four days, you will feel this tender full moon the most. The same would be true if you have Scorpio rising at 19 degrees, or the natal moon, or have a natal planet in Scorpio, Pisces, or Cancer at 19 degrees (within five degrees of that degree) - you, too, will benefit in outstanding ways. Be ready!

The following day, February 26, Mercury and Uranus will be in supreme harmony - what astrologers call a trine position, from the word triangle - considered one of the finest aspects you can ever hope to see. This would be the ideal day, a Friday, to give a party at your home, not in a restaurant or club. Conversation will bubble up and everyone will be in a happy mood. Surround yourself with many friends!

By month's end, you are moving into an even MORE romantic time. Sunday, February 28, will bring Neptune, planet of love, in perfect angle to the Sun. Neptune is the higher octave of Venus, teaching Venus that it's not enough to enjoy being together with your sweetheart. To make love grow deeper, Neptune teaches the value of giving up things for yourself so that your beloved can benefit. By doing so, you will bring love to an entirely new level. Wait till you get to March, dear Scorpio - you are only cranking up this month. By March, the soft scent of honeysuckle will fill the air, and you'll enter a dream of a month for true love, especially during the first half of March. Your creativity is now reaching new heights, both in February and more so in March. You'll see!

Mars is one of your rulers, and is still in Scorpio, and that's very good news. Last month you were eager to press forward, but could not because Mercury was retrograde. Sitting back and being content to wait is not your style, but to go against Mercury retrograde was out of sync with the vibrations at play. It's always better to go with the trends than buck them. Now, with nothing to hold you back, you can go full speed ahead in February.

The pace of life will slow down from April through September, a very long time, so put your foot to the pedal and speed ahead while all conditions are right for you. You will notice that the overall tempo of life will pick up noticeably by mid-February and beyond when Mercury will have fine-tuned its orbit. Mars will make you eager to succeed, so develop your strategy, for your aim will need to be perfect. You will defend your ideas passionately and others will be drawn to you because of the attractive energy you will display. Everyone will hope your energy will light theirs - you'll have plenty to spare.

If you have questions about a home, property, or family-related situation, the full moon of February 8 could bring a sudden opportunity to help you find the right solution. You will have to stay on your toes and be decisive. You may be so surprised when opportunity knocks that you may temporarily be knocked off-kilter. Be ready in the days that follow the new moon, because if you don't reach for the golden plum on the tree, someone else will, and take it from you. Saturn will be beautifully angled too, indicating that if you need to make a choice, Saturn will see to it your choice will bring a feeling of permanence and long range security. New moons open a portal of two weeks, and what you do in that time will have the power to affect your life for at least one year to come, if not more.

In terms of romance, Mars in Scorpio all month will make you sexy and charismatic. You will turn heads this month, and you will enjoy the fuss. You may not be aware of the affect you are having on others - it will be powerful, and many will fall under your unforgettable hypnotic spell.

Valentine's Day may seem like a greeting card holiday, but you will have a great likelihood of plenty of fun on that weekend, thanks to an alignment of Jupiter and Mars. You may be invited to a party that weekend, and if so, it should put you in the center of warm friendly people in a luxurious setting. Venus in Capricorn suggests that if you are single and happen to meet someone new during the early part of the month, prior to February 16, that person would be a bit older than you by several years (or vice versa, you being the older one in the relationship). No concern - the relationship would work well. February 9-10 are particularly bright days for love as Venus and Jupiter will be in lyrical sync.

You seem to be attending a celebration on the full moon, February 22, a time when you will see the effect of your charms on others. This full moon falls on a Monday, but you will feel the mounting energy building over the weekend of February 20-21 and in the four days that follow that full moon, all the way until February 26. The full moon should put you in the center of an A-list gathering that later, at year's end when you look back over the year, may stand out in 2016 as a four-star special time for you. This full moon is all sweetness and light for Neptune will sprinkle inspiration, beauty, stylishness, and creativity over anything you touch during this bewitching weekend. Wow! Dear Scorpio, are you excited yet? You should be!
