Astrological Highlights for the Week Ahead
We’re waving good bye to January this week as February is here with a bang! Bringing us an amazing opportunity with the Full Moon in Leo…
Ceres Retrograde in Libra 3rd February 2023 2:15pm (ET) 3rd February 2023 7:15pm (GMT)
Ceres shows your connection with your parents (especially your mother ), with those who supported you
and raised you and with your own parental
abilities. She calls into question the way we take care of ourselves physically, mentally, emotionally, and materially speaking – our finances
and homes
During Ceres Retrograde, the importance of stability and happiness in these relationships come to the forefront.
Libra is all about balance! So, during this retrograde expect questions
and issues to arise surrounding balancing parental duties, parental figures and how we care for ourselves.
Likely themes or questions could be: “How do I connect with my child, do they need more from me?”, “How am I balancing parental life and self-care?”, “Do I spend too little / too much time or money on myself?”, “Do I need to connect more with my parents, or do I need to distance myself from them?”.

Full Moon in Leo
5th February 2023 1:28pm (ET) 5th February 2023 6:28pm (GMT)
LEO - Fire / Fixed
RULING PLANET - Sun
5th HOUSE - Romance Love, Fertility, Childlike Spirit
Joy, Drama
COLOURS - Orange, Gold, Yellow, Red
CRYSTALS - Amber, Aventurine, Carnelian, Dumortierite, and Labradorite
Message: It’s Time to Shine!
It’s time to unleash your inner Diva with the Full Moon in Leo! This Full Moon you can be selfish and self-indulgent, in fact, it’s actively encouraged! Leo is confident, fun, flirty and bold
It is a Fixed sign, which means it is stabilising, secure and committed to its plans. In the negative, Fixed signs can be stubborn, inflexible, and not know when to make adjustments.
Leo is about being seen, heard, and adored; it’s also romantic
- Leo loves to shower others with just as much affection as it likes to shower on itself! We’re all about the big romantic gestures this Full Moon, and as the Sun and Moon Square Uranus
(Planet of Rebellion) this transit, be prepared for some unexpected spectacles!
Uranus is triggered under this Full Moon, awakening deeper truths, and encouraging to look at things
from a new vantage and make changes where necessary. Happily, we have the unflappable confidence of Leo
assisting us to make these changes happen, and its worth remembering that all the major planets are direct right now, driving us forward
to achieve all the things we want to and change the things we need to!
This Moon is not for hiding, people! Leo owns centre stage and revels in being in the spotlight
encouraging us to be proud of who we are. This is a great period to spend some time thinking about all the amazing qualities you have
Love yourself, push yourself forward - this life is yours to do what you want with, and Leo is fully supporting you to achieve big things right now!
Full Moon is the perfect time to cast any spells, and with the Full Moon in Leo this is a chance not to be missed! There are so many spells you could cast right now, take advantage of this time and act on your desires! You will be rewarded
Other transits to note:
Neptune in Pisces
semi-square True Node in Taurus
1st February 2023 12:17pm (ET) 1st February 2023 5:17pm (GMT)
Be wary of possible confusion during this time, as Neptune – The Planet of Illusion – forms a semi-square with the True Node. Squares are intense, and usually mean more work will be needed to produce an outcome. This position, therefore, may create some blockages
in and around our life. We may not be able to see things clearly for a moment and this is enhanced by Neptune’s position in dreamy Pisces, but take heart, this phase will pass quickly
Saturn in Aquarius
quintile True Node in Taurus
3rd February 2023 5:17pm (ET) 3rd February 2023 10:17pm (GMT)
Quintiles are harmonious placements in astrology. They indicate talent and a positive flow of energy. Saturn – Lord of Karma and Teacher of EVERY LESSON – is in progressive Aquarius, meaning we might be given an opportunity to learn a valuable lesson
that will help our evolution during this transit. Saturn’s lessons can be painful or easy but given the Quintile placement here we can expect a more gentle experience, and possibly an enlightenment of sorts
Happy Imbolc to you all!
Love and Light
