Scorpio, your relationship with yourself is what will lead to greater intimacy in your partnerships. Sensitive emotions about love, passion, friendship, and intimacy are likely to surface. With Mars retrograde in Cancer until Feb 23rd, you’re being asked to look at your relationship patterns and determine which ones are worth repeating, and which ones you must release. It’s a beautiful time to have deep conversations with yourself about what you really want when it comes to love. As you breathe through any mixed emotions that you may be experiencing right now, you’ll also find that they make sense. You’re not here for anything mediocre or inconsistent. This period is teaching you: there’s no point in asking for something if you’re not prepared to receive it when it arrives.
