This is a crucial time for you, Scorpio, in the midst of a crucial year. Your very sense of identity is shifting in a way that is confusing and, at times, scary. The potential transformation implied is daunting, but you might reflect that you cannot really hold onto the past; that life itself is change. You are continuing to explore your deep and largely unknown parts in an even more intense way, and it is slowly bringing you into closer touch with yourself. This is a difficult but entirely rewarding evolution that you are attempting now. Vague and inchoate sensations are being treated with a dose of practicality and ordinary real-world logic in a largely successful effort to form a useful amalgam that partakes of both, and that will take you through.
As the month begins, you are still digesting the information that came to you at the time of the powerful Full Moon from the last weekend of January. This took place in your career sector, and opened up questions of responsibility, limitation and the potential for inner work to make a difference in your life as you progress in areas both public and private. You are focused on home and family concerns at this time, and attempting a better integration of all your parts.
With your co-ruler, Mars, plus Mercury, entering into your sector of creative self-expression this month, you are attempting to reinvent yourself in some way, and to incorporate in that effort the push within you for greater degree of awareness and integration. You are intent on exploring your inner world, and in doing so you come into better connection with intimate others in your life and by extension with the larger world that surrounds you as well.
This important investigation of your own self-involvement – with emphasis on internal understanding – leads you in the end, paradoxically, to greater presence in the outer world. As part of this focus you might run up against patterns of behavior that represent knee-jerk reactions to events that somehow trigger an inward response corresponding to old wounding. This is symbolized in modern western astrology by the presence of a highly activated Chiron also residing in your self-expression sector. This highlighted archetype of the Wounded Healer represents both a difficulty for you and an opportunity. When you can more closely connect to inner wounding , and the internal complexes resulting from childhood trauma, you are rewarded by greater self-knowledge and confidence. Here, as with so many things in life, attitude is everything.
You are thus in the midst this month of an important process of visioning new possibilities into being, for yourself and for your future. You are looking for nothing less than a much closer alignment to soul purpose, and for the road that you must travel to achieve that stronger connection to inner priorities. The Mercury Retrograde period that initiates toward the end of February, on the 23rd, brings you to an even more internal stance, allowing a stage of reflection that might even increase your focus on inner exploration. The gestation period is in one way life-long, and yet you will also see amazing progress within the shorter time frame of the next two months, providing that you keep your eye on the prize.

With the Last Quarter Moon of Sunday, February 3rd, in your sign, you are brought to a better state of knowledge concerning what you are actively going through right now. Although you are fully invested in the material world, an internal meditative stance looms large and overshadows outer concerns. You continue to be extremely aware of limitations on your ability to progress, or to even have seemingly simple tasks in life go smoothly. The upside is that everything therefore becomes a learning experience. The glass is definitely at least half full in that regard, and obviously you do well to see, rather than the deficits, the benefits of your current situation. There is a lot to be grateful for.
With the New Moon of late Saturday evening, February 9th, you come to a spurt of useful energy. You occupy a rather amazing psychic space, now and for the remainder of the month, a thoughtful time of re-invigorating your most creative urges and inspirations for a new and better way forward in this additional year of massive change. There are definitely tinges of wild-eyed optimism, a sense that anything is possible, and these feelings balance out the sense of limitation and even of isolation that is also part of your present journey. Like a deep-sea diver in search of pearls, you are intent on delving down beneath the surface of your psyche and who knows what you might come up with; certainly in part the consciousness of old wounds that are ready to be transcended and that have no need any longer to hold you back.
The First Quarter Moon taking place on Sunday, February 17th, brings up potential difficulties with the smooth sailing into greater awareness that you would love to manifest, and these spur you on to even greater efforts to achieve. Success is eventually assured, although not in the eyes of the world but rather within the depths of your soul requirement. No-one can see this progress but you; and yet that is enough, as you reach for a pinnacle of self-consecration to this inner work.
The powerful Full Moon of Monday, February 25th, confirms you in your determination to more fully explore your depths with an almost reckless abandon of outer-world considerations. You are reaching out for inner connection with yourself and simultaneously with intimate others in your life. These connections are magnified to the extent that they serve your greater soul-level purpose, and only when they do. Mercury is retrograde now in your creativity sector, through nearly the end of March, and you are also engaged in redefining elements of your self-expression as you make your way forward.
