Aquarius season where the solar light is freedom loving and innovative began with the convergence of the Sun and Pluto in Aquarius. This highly significant union heralds a time of powerful transformative energies through the cosmic lens of Aquarius, setting a tone that will be felt for many years to come. Adding to this solar phase is the first Full Moon of 2024. With dramatic illumination, lovely Luna in the sign of Leo rises with a radiant glow in the night sky, elevating our emotions with a compelling desire to openly and honestly express the essence of who we are.
Governed by the Sun, now in Aquarius, this Full Moon in Leo opposition is potent and intense. Leo, symbolized by the majestic lion, is solar fire, charismatic, proud, creative and personally self-expressive. The Sun in Aquarius symbolized by the Water Bearer shares spiritual knowledge and absolute truth with all of humanity regardless of consequences. In releasing the need for acceptance, standing firm and willing to become the exile, Aquarius achieves individuality; the uncompromising expression of self. Ultimately, both signs seek to be true and real in their own unique ways.
Increasing the power of this Full Moon is Pluto having just entered Aquarius close to the Sun bringing to the surface a growing need for greater authenticity within ourselves and life. Pluto stirs our shadow and we are faced with an acute awareness of compulsive needs for attention resulting in losing touch with who we truly are. With radical honesty we are called to examine our personal truth and even if we have to push boundaries or stand alone, claim our right to live honestly with true purpose and passion.
The planet of abundance, expansion and faith in life, Jupiter in Taurus seeks serenity and stability through tried and true means that feel safe. This resistance to change and desire for consistency challenges the Moon in Leo’s need to take an emotional risk for creative fulfillment and personal appreciation. Work with this square as a catalyst for growth by integrating efforts for material prosperity with courageously pursuing individual passions.
Although it sounds dramatic, this potent lunar phase can be, if we work with it, part of setting the stage for the next 20 years of our lives. During this Full Moon in Leo release limiting fears and develop what brings joy. It would be easy if we could evolve with a built in promise of security, however, to grow we have to take that leap of faith and go beyond what we’ve done before. It’s time to take a chance on ourselves and “be seen” in all our genuine personal expression with heartfelt trust, that we will find honest acknowledgement and appreciation.
When we take that leap, we not only find our right place in the world but are part of the revolutionary evolvement and reshaping of the collective consciousness. This is the time to claim your power, to be your own hero. And you will know when you get it right, because you will feel more in tune with yourself, fully charged and alive!
