During the month of Aquarius, the ancients of the British Isles celebrated the festival of Imbolc:

the emerging snowdrop representing the new flame of life after winter's long, cold incubation.

Also known as the Quickening, the electric buzz of Aquarius, all the more noticeable after the serious and practical tones of Capricorn, raises the vibration and sparks begin to fly.

Innovation and inspiration are the trademarks of this sign and ruling planet Uranus is known to bring quirky and unexpected change.

Honouring both the old and the new in effortless fusion, Aquarius asks us to break free from our assumptions and imagine the impossible with childlike wonder and excitement.

Jupiter enters Pisces this month expanding our spiritual awareness for the whole year. A simpler and deeper period of healing and reflection glides in to soothe us and enlightenment will come through dreams, meditation and devotional practice.

Saturn turns retrograde with a settling effect crystallizing our plans and bringing sustainable progress until June.

Venus in Aquarius blends perfectly with the Leo Full Moon on 30th January.

The month peaks at the new moon on February 14th. This is a time to simply enjoy the magic and mystery of life itself.
