This month, power struggles may be going on around you, but rather than being tempted to compete, you’ll be in the mood to face facts and get on with business. Most important, you’ll be able to figure out which path to pursue to set your plans in place. Others will soon become more receptive to what you have to offer, so don’t hesitate to speak your mind.

With Mars shooting forward in an important part of your chart, you can finally get going with plans that have been on hold for too long. The first 10 days of the month hold real potential for meetings of minds and promising agreements. Venus in your sign is heightening your charm and drawing others into your orbit, and the new Moon of the 20th initiates a new chapter.

February will be a decisive month in which you’ll be exploring and narrowing your options. Jupiter now rushing forward in your sign is a fortune booster, while Saturn in Aquarius underlines the importance of being a team player. By mid-month, you’ll be entering a phase when stepping back and engaging in some strategising will be your best move.

You’re in a position to wield your influence and draw interest this month, and whatever occurs when Saturn dominates the scene on the 16th will set precedents. Once the Sun enters the receptive sign of Pisces on the 18th, the most outgoing part of your chart will light up, and it’s time to get out and expand your social and professional horizons.

You’re on the brink of a particularly intriguing new cycle. Mars, having activated your ambitions since last September, now begins to trigger rewards. The new Moon of the 20th is a kind of launching pad for you that sets you in a new direction. With Venus in Aries, you’ll be connecting with those who will have a strong effect on your life.

Cancers navigate by common sense, and this month, it’s time to scrutinise financial arrangements and reroute your path. Try to be receptive to others’ input, and be ready to make changes you might not have considered. An accent on newly minted dreams may be pulling you in an unexpected direction, and distant connections sparkle.

February is a time for sorting and discarding. Be ready to let go of plans that haven’t worked out, and set your sights on ones with positive possible outcomes. Relationships will be on a more forward-moving path, and with Mars surging ahead in Gemini, focus on reaching out and making connections that can expand your world.

Just remember that you can’t please everyone all the time and that this month, you’re best off trusting your own reliable judgment. Mars has been out of sync with your birth sign for months, and you’re coming to the close of a particularly stressful albeit productive period. Stay on your own track, but be ready to tune into others’ needs and feelings.

Don’t be a hermit this month, even if you’re so inclined. There are people you should be connecting with, and it’s in your interests to promote your own projects and plans. Work comes into clearer and clearer focus as February unfolds, and a fresh direction that you’re pursuing opens up an interesting new chapter in your life—so be persistent.

February will be a bit up and down, but new social and creative directions will be real spirit-lifters. Whatever is going on in your personal life, you should be ready to face some facts and/or shoulder more responsibility. Your problem-solving skills will be in evidence. Scorpios have an ability to cut to the chase and find answers.

If you can get away this month, some magic seems to be in the making. Or just allow yourself to think, explore, and visualise. Your home life will come into a new focus as February unfolds, and this is also a time to consider lifestyle changes and to zero in on significant family ties. Mars continues to liven up and even intensify close relationships.

Clarifying your own responsibilities versus others’ needs and concerns is something of a theme this month, and no matter how worried you may feel near the 16th, you’ll be getting on a more promising path. Venus in Pisces indicates that the most important thing you can do is put your feelings into words and remain sensitive and receptive.
