Now in February and Aquarius season all the planets have left their retrograde phase and the cosmic energies are opening up, moving forward and setting things in motion within ourselves and our lives. Adding some fiery exuberance to this energy flow is the Full Moon in Leo, where heightened emotions and the driving desire for acknowledgment compels us to openly and honestly express ourselves.
Proud, bold and playful, Leo is ruled by the Sun and aligned with personal individuality and creative self-expression. In opposition is the Sun in Aquarius, the innovative boundary breaking air sign that seeks individuality, community connections and humanitarian concerns. Driven by different motivations both Leo and Aquarius need to be genuine in their own unique manner.
Shaking things up, the disruptive nature of Uranus in Taurus exerts influence in a solid T-square with this Full Moon. In this challenging yet growth inducing aspect, Uranus wakes us up by challenging the fixed nature of Leo and Aquarius and being a catalyst for growth requiring some level of change to the status quo. This long term process of transforming our views and means of inner and outward stability motivates us to fully embrace and show up audaciously in the truth of who we are now and continue to become under the powerful radiance of this Full Moon.
In a supportive trine with the Moon in Leo, Chiron in Aries offers encouragement to address painful memories carried too long. Jupiter in Aries also in the mix conjuncts Chiron increasing the ample opportunity to face fears that have held us back and share our deepest feelings from the heart. In courageously doing so breakthroughs in healing old wounds can lead to building self-awareness and esteem, increasing confidence in expressing ourselves with greater personal power and authenticity.
Increasing personal assertiveness is Mars in Gemini in a lively sextile with the Full Moon where our most honest desires and courageous initiative work together effectively in taking right action, including within important relationships. With a fortified heart, and open mind share your thoughts and feelings and remain flexible in considering any decisions or changes. Within the context of these aspects beware of over impulsiveness or assuming too much, even moving too fast physically that could lead to unwanted consequences.
Our world needs more illumination than ever and we are the ones that provide it! During this Full Moon release anything that dims your light or makes you feel small. It’s time to reveal your true light force; no half measures of false overtures merely to grab attention. Claim yourself, your life and step forward taking up space and express yourself in Leo style; honest, joy filled and heroic. Shining your light out into the world for others to appreciate but also to receive the light of others in appreciation. When we trust our heart and share who we truly are the world becomes a brighter place.
