Dear Libra, the month of February opens up with Ceres, the asteroid of motherly nurture, going retrograde in your sign on the 3rd. You may find yourself questioning the balance of give and take in your partnerships, and may need to set honest boundaries in order to share yourself more freely.

The Full Moon in the passionate sign of Leo will happen on the 5th, at 1:28 pm EST, in your area of friendships and community. Go with that pull that you’re feeling to let your true self shine. Trust in yourself and trust in your ability to connect with others, this is your mastery. Do some networking, reach out to the ones that inspire you and can help get you closer to your dreams. Your relationships may be undergoing some transformations, but know that these changes are for the better, even if it hurts or feels uncomfortable right now. Remember to balance your needs with the needs of others, and trust that you are where you need to be.

Vesta, the asteroid of devotion and commitment, begins a new run around the zodiac on the 7th as it moves into Aries, activating a sense of devotion within your connections. This will help you get more attuned to your needs within your partnerships, and how you take into consideration the needs of others.

On the 11th, Mercury —the Messenger— moves into your area of creative self-expression, in the sign of Aquarius. Your natural charm and charisma will be heightened, and you’ll be feeling extra flirty and fun-loving. Use this energy to your advantage and don’t be afraid to put yourself out there —whether it’s asking someone out on a date or pursuing a new creative project.

Pallas, the asteroid of wisdom and strategic thinking, will enter your area of professional pursuits in the sign of Cancer on the 16th. This is an invitation to trust your instincts and inner voice when it comes to making important decisions regarding your career, public image and long-term goals.

On the 18th, the Sun’s exit from Aquarius will give way to Pisces Season, followed by the New Moon also in the dreamy sign of Pisces, on the 20th at 2:06 am EST, activating your area of work and health routines. This will be a time to let go of any negative patterns or habits that no longer serve you and to focus on coming closer to the things that offer you inner peace and contentment in your day-to-day life. Slowly, at your pace. This may sound simple, but it isn’t, so be kind to yourself and give yourself the space, time and patience you need to cultivate the growth and changes you desire.

Also on the 20th, Venus starts a new cycle around the zodiac as she comes out of Pisces and moves into Aries, infusing your one-on-one relationships with some sweetness, passion and excitement. Take a moment to consider, are you being true to yourself in your relationships? Are you putting in the effort to understand and connect with your loved ones on a deeper level? Are you allowing yourself to be vulnerable and open to love? Look into this, not only in romantic relationships, but also with besties and business partners. Remember, true love and connection require both vulnerability and assertiveness.
