From the editor “Best Made Plans”
T
hey say if you want to make God laugh tell him your plans. The Denovo staff marched into 2014 with best made plans. As luck would have it, things changed; and for the better. This year should be filled with many more editorials than we originally planned. This is due to a major change in the Denovo submissions policy. We maintained our roster of wonderful photographers, but this year we will allow more submissions from none staff photographers. This is an important step that will allow more photographers to print with Denovo. Because the magazine is celebrating its fourth year, we felt it was important to expand our horizon. It’s our belief that with new photographers and the wonderful models they shoot, Denovo will continue to be one of your favorite magazines. I as well as the staff, look forward to bringing you the best Fashion and Beauty that the industry has to offer. Enjoy Issue 15.

signs Happy Birthday Aquarius The big news of February is Mercury retrograding in Pisces and Aquarius for most of February, along with Venus moving direct in Capricorn and Full Moon in Leo, the King of Hearts on Valentine’s Day. Mercury out of phase is never a good thing and retrograding in Pisces for a week and then A2uarius for nearly 2 weeks – the water and air signs both feel this Mercury retro period – the first one of 2014 the most. Keeping in mind that Venus was out of phase in Capricorn all January – it has been a rather rough cosmic start to 2014.
Saturn the planet of focus and discipline been on a tour of duty in Scorpio, your one on one relationship zone for the past 2 years Taureans, so you’ve probably gotten used to either being alone or carrying pretty much all the weight for your other half. This month however, several planets in impulsive freedom loving Aquarius will insist you speak up, take a stand and get yourself out from under it all.
Mercury turns retrograde in your sign on February 6 and up until he backs into Aquarius Feb 12, your might be feeling a little disoriented, confused and definitely swimming downstream. It’s important that whilst Mercury is out of phase you verify all facts, again and even again, avoid misunderstandings caused by vague communications and keep directions clear and have your GPS/NAV system working in your car even when you’re driving somewhere you’ve driven a hundred times before.
With so many planets in Aquarius your spiritual zone this month, many of you will be inspired to reach out to someone you haven’t heard from or seen in a long time. And it will be like you spoke or saw each other just yesterday – such will be the connection and the pleasure in speaking/seeing each other. If you find that they have changed their number, find them through social media – they will be surprised but thrilled to hear from you and it could be the start of a whole new/old friendship all over again.
Any changes you’ve Valentine’s Day Feb 14 been meaning to make could be an especially will receive quite the emotional day for many of added boost Feb 14, 15 you Cancerians. Your ruler & 16 but with Mercury the emotional Moon will be traveling retrograde as in Full Moon mode in Leo, of Feb 6, you may need your 2nd house of self–esto finish up boring leftteem and money and as overs before moving forper usual, you react by ward and it may take the wearing your heart on your whole month of February sleeve. If you’re single, to do so. Stay positive – make sure you make plans you can’t always be in the mix, large and in charge Aries. with your other single friends to do something fun. You need moral support on the 14th.
FEBRUARY You certainly won’t be bored in February Leos but you might be slightly off your game, which you don’t like to hear. Once Mercury turns retrograde Feb 6 – 12 in your joint resources zone, financial details that were overlooked will come to the forefront and will be not only tedious but also worrying. Once Mercury moves further backwards into your relationship zone Feb 12 – 27, you could find that little tiffs become much bigger and money could come between you and your lover, mother or others and become a huge distraction for you.
Thank the Universe for Venus in Capricorn, a practical earthy energy that never fails to drag us back to reality whenever you or anyone else is on the verge of plunging ourselves into bankruptcy. She’s on duty all month so while Jupiter in your solar 9th house will be doing his best to convince you to travel and go first class, Venus will agree but will insist on economy – literally. The good news is that by the time the date arrives, you’ll be glad you used common sense to plan it and didn’t blow your budget.
February is the month for many of you to take responsibility for your actions Virgos. January was a tough start to 2014 with Venus out of phase in your fellow earth sign of Capricorn. On Feb 11 and 19 the Sun and Mercury in Aquarius will square off with serious Saturn in your 3rd house of communication and conversations, and just like last month, confrontations about work related issues may once again be a problem. Rest assured however, once you’ve cleared the air, it could all be over by Feb 24.
Valentine’s Day looks like it’s going to be quite romantic for you Sags – even if you have to fly your date in from another state, coast or country – but you are the last of the big spenders and such things don’t concern you after all. A Full Moon in Leo Feb 14 shines on your long distance and spiritual zone so you might be the one taking the trip anyway. The Universe is fully behind you being together too and will make it super easy for you and your partner to connect on the 14th – the same day Mercury slides further back into the zodiac and arrives in Aquarius for a 2 week stay.
If you’ve been thinking about a career change Librans, February is the month you could very well cross paths with someone who has the power to actually help you. Pay special attention to all like–minded people who share your beliefs or who have known you for a long time and
If there’s anything you can’t tolerate goats (and the list is long), it’s when a plan refuses to come together – especially since any plan you’re part of is usually so well thought out. So once Mercury the planner turns retrograde on Feb 6 in your solar 3rd house of short trips, conversations and communications, it’s going to be up to you to do some troubleshooting. Before you leave the house make sure you’ve got your keys, wallet, ID, mobile, and make sure the mobile is charged!
