When Ceres transits through Leo and forms a square to your composite Lunar Node in Libra, the nurturing core of your relationship is brought into focus, specifically how you both express love and care. Ceres in Leo highlights a desire for recognition and appreciation in care-giving and support roles, often with a flair for the dramatic. You both may feel an increased need to be seen and admired for the support you provide to each other, yet this can lead to challenges if the expression comes off as too self-centered or demanding.

The square to the Lunar Node in Libra introduces a tension that needs resolving. Libra's influence on the Node points towards a destiny that is crafted through partnerships, fairness, and balance. The square suggests a friction between one partner's need for acknowledgment and the relationship's called-for harmony and mutual respect. This could manifest as one or both of you feeling that your efforts to support or please the other are not being fairly recognized or reciprocated.

During this transit, it's crucial to strike a balance between giving affection and care with the authenticity that Leo provides, and recognizing the importance of a balanced and harmonious partnership that Libra demands. The challenge lies in not letting the ego-centric nature of Leo overshadow the equanimity of Libra.

To navigate this period effectively, focus on creating moments where both of you can feel valued and admired without overshadowing the other. Activities that celebrate both your individual contributions and your combined strengths will be particularly healing. Encourage openness in expressing appreciation and ensure that acknowledgments are both given and received genuinely. This will aid in smoothing out any feelings of underappreciation and help align both your paths towards the unified growth indicated by your Lunar Node.
