The fiery, passionate, and bold energies of the Leo Full Moon will reach their peak on February 12th. As the Full Moon rests bright in the sky, we may feel a spark ignited within us; we may feel a sense of courage to take on challenges, changes, and everything in between.
The Leo Full Moon holds some erratic energy, but this is not necessarily a bad thing. Perhaps we need a shake-up. Perhaps we need to look at things from a different vantage point. As the poet Rumi once shared- ‘Do not worry that your life is turning upside down. How do you know the side you are used to is better than the one to come?’ And that feels to be the motto of this Full Moon.
Change is in the air, and perhaps some instability too, but we are being called to step into our power, find our courage, and stand proud in what we know to be true in our hearts. We are being called to trust ourselves and to listen to our inner wisdom. The truer we are to ourselves, the easier time we will have working with this Full Moon energy.
The Leo Full Moon Brings Change and Awakening
Whenever you hear there is a volatile or unstable Full Moon, you have to expect the planet of change and awakening, Uranus, to be involved! When Uranus gets together with the Full Moon, it can bring all sorts of surprises and clashing energies, but it’s not called the planet of awakening for nothing.
Sometimes, we need these shake-ups in our lives so we can determine what is no longer working. Sometimes, we need these shake-ups so we can see what is no longer stable and relevant to our journey forward.
Uranus joining the Full Moon indicates that we may need to shake free from something in our lives. It could be some old patterns or ways of thinking, or it could be more dramatic, like a job or relationship.
Something may come to a close under this Full Moon as we recognize that it’s just not sustainable to continue on the way we have been.
Uranus shakes us to awaken us, so if you are feeling the winds of change or the ground shaking beneath you, ask yourself- How am I being called to awaken to something bigger?
Uranus wants us to think outside the box and stretch the possibilities that we have been looking at. It encourages us to think in a different way and to approach things from a new vantage point.
Stay open-minded under this Full Moon, as you never know what new inspirations and brain waves may find you.
The Leo Full Moon Illuminates Divine Messages
Mercury, the messenger of the Gods, is also active under this Full Moon, having made its conjunction with the Sun just a few days before.
Mercury and the Full Moon can reveal new truths and information to us, so it’s very likely that some important messages may come our way.
As the messenger of the Gods, Mercury asks us to stay open to the messages in both our outer world and inner world. Pay attention to synchronicities, messengers, and signs from the Universe. You never know what guidance and answers you may receive.
Following the Full Moon, you may also notice more information about a topic or situation in your life being revealed, so be patient and allow things to unfold.
Healing Under the Leo Full Moon
The February Full Moon may have us feeling a little weathered but more confident in ourselves and where we stand.
While there is some volatility, there is also the opportunity for healing too, especially when we are in connection with our hearts.
Chiron, the asteroid of the wounded healer, is also active under this Full Moon, holding the promise that whatever wounds or challenges we face will eventually lead us to a brighter place.
Chiron reminds us that our wounds and troubles don’t disqualify us from being able to find beauty, purpose, and meaning in our lives. Chiron wants us to acknowledge our wounds as a part of the fabric of our destiny, and something that can make us stronger, wiser, and more compasionate.
When we make it to the other side of this Full Moon, something would have changed and shifted in us. While there is great power in this Full Moon, we can also come back to the higher message that Leo energy serves: simplicity.
Leo energy, on its highest octave, guides us to come back to the simplest answer, the simplest approach, and to remember that we don’t have to try or force something to be. Just like the lion stands tall and proud, simply being who he is, we too can do the same.
