Scorpio Horoscope for February 2020

The processes of change are slow but sure for you, Scorpio, and your developmental course takes a new turning in this present month. You will be somewhat lost in contemplation of what is going on within you, with regard to your communications, and your ongoing series of revelations. Because Mercury is retrograde during all the last half of February, that itself will be an introspective factor in all this cycle of change. You are especially concerned right now with your own creative output, fine-tuning this in a way that your outer productivity in terms of career makes for a better match with your true values. Relationship surprises continue and even accelerate, leading you to some remarkable conclusions regarding yourself. Inner wounding might also arise. The secret there, of course, is that you allow dark places inside you to come forward into the light of conscious understanding, where they can be acknowledged and truly feel that they have their own seat at the table.
