Your Guide to the upcoming Astrological dates this month • Reading Time: 3 mins
Featuring: Venus in Aquarius, Full Moon in Cancer, end of Mars and Mercury Retrogrades, New Moon in Aquarius and… the Pagan Fire Festival
We draw inspiration from the stars for you, bringing you a soft conversation each month about what the cosmos may have aligned for you and the collective. If the concepts resonate, delve a little more into it; if our words bounce back and sound too mysterious, let them go Beautiful Seeker (no offence to us!).
Our overview this month is inspired by exceptional sky-readers, primarily our very own Founder Britta and her channelled Celestial Journal, and by the divine Cafe Astrology.

First Thoughts: 2022 Reflection
We believe in the churning of our soil before planting new seeds, an auspicious and imaged way to invite you to look back on 2022 !
What are the sparkles that emerged from the last 365 days? What have you transcended in this gifted life, do you remember the smiles and laughter?
“Shadow work” has its place, but we are fond of placing it among an inner hearth made of light, laughter, self-deprecating humour and beautiful connections that lighten up the load, and encourage us to treat this life as a gift !

January 2, 2023: Venus enters Aquarius
“Unconventionality, individualism and the ways we love and want to be loved are all being redefined in this Aqua transit. You’ll probably find yourself experimenting with love and relationships. Building a strong friendship and mental stimulation in our relationships is important to us right now. Friends and lovers go hand in hand. Try not to become too aloof though!” St Soleil Celestial Journal
Eaaaase gently, dip the toes in the 2023 waters… until mid-January, the skies are inviting nothing but rest, integrate and experience BEING.

January 7, 2023: Full Moon in Cancer
“The first full moon of 2023 is a Wolf Moon in Cancer. The moon is right at home in its ruling sign. We know that full moons affects the Earth’s tides, and this time is no exception.
Look for both physical and emotional waves on the horizon. Much like the crab, you can expect yourself to find moments of retreat during this phase too.
Themes of motherhood and matriarchy will be prominent along with nurturing and nostalgia. Let this be an opportunity to go within and explore your feminine side. This full moon will bring closure to goals started at the previous new moon. The wild exploration and enthusiastic demeanour of the new moon in Gemini will result in emotional closure at this full moon. Embrace this time as an opportunity to bring closure to any areas needed”. St Soleil Celestial Journal.
