The moon will be full this Wednesday February 12 in the fiery sign of Leo at 7:53 am CST. Full moons occur every month when the sun and moon are in opposite signs at the exact same degree; for this lunation the sun will be at 24 degrees Aquarius while the moon will be in the opposite sign of Leo at 24 degrees. In astrology the moon is linked to our moods and emotions so when the moon is full our emotions can feel full. The intensity of our feelings can be a bit overwhelming at this time of the month and our reactions can be impulsive. The brightness of a full moon can cast light and clarity on things that were previously hidden or confusing.
Leo belongs to the fire element meaning this sign has a tendency to be bold, dynamic, theatrical, dramatic, warm and engaging. The full moon in Leo is asking you to do just that; be bold in your choices and expression. Let go of playing small and boldly step into the spotlight. Forget about looking at the applause meter hoping others like what we are doing, taking center stage is about reconnecting with a part of ourselves we may have left behind.
We can increase this dynamic Leo energy by wearing or carrying ruby, carnelian, tiger eye, sunstone or amber. Leo is ruled by the most powerful force in our Universe, the bright and radiant sun. The sun is the most important part of our chart, it gives us the feeling that we have a purpose and a destiny to fulfill. If you feel you’ve lost your way dress in orange, yellow, gold or red to reconnect with the sun. A full moon in Leo is about getting your shine back, the boring and drab have no place at Leo’s table. Fragrances linked to the full moon in Leo are cedar and cinnamon. Uranus, the Great Awakener, will make a tight square to this full moon adding a bolt of eclectic, electric and eccentric energy. Instead of trying to hide your little quirks of personality embrace them and let them shine regardless of whether others approve or not. The spiritual text A Course in Miracles tells us that fear is a trick the ego-mind plays on us to keep us safe but in reality it keeps us stuck and stagnant.
Just like there are twelve astrological signs there are also twelve matching astrological houses. Each zodiac sign is linked to one of these twelve houses and for Leo that’s the 5th House. The 5th House is linked to love affairs, children, drama, creativity, self-expression, gambling and risk-taking. One or several of these aforementioned activities could take center stage during this full moon in Leo.
Have a great full moon in Leo and we hope to see you in the store soon.
