Leo Full Moon
The first Full Moon of 2024 occurs in the heart expanding sign of Leo, at 5-degrees of this Royal sign, bringing powerful and shifting energy. It occurs on Thursday, January 25th at 12:54 pm EST (adjust for your Time Zone).
The sun and moon are ALWAYS in opposition at the time of a full moon, as the Sun illuminates the moon, at its optimum peak, bringing to the surface those areas in the subconscious that have been hidden, suppressed or ignored. It’s a time of culmination, closure and completion, Release is the keyword!
The axis being highlighted during this Lunation is the Leo -Aquarius Axis, contrasting: Individuality & Collectivity; Self-Expression & Social Contribution; Passion & Detachment, respectively. This illuminating Full Moon urges us to find a harmonious balance between expressing our unique gifts and talents and fulfilling our obligations to the larger community.
Leo rules the heart while Aquarius rules the mind. This Lunation invites us to align the two: the subjective and the objective aspects of self, bringing equilibrium to our personal and social needs.
Leo is ruled by the Sun, the giver of life on earth and our personal vitality. It represents our inner child, our solar plexus and our willpower. Leo’s key phrase is: “I Will.” It asks each of us to love ourselves,unconditionally; honour our unique gifts and talents and with inner confidence, share them with the community at large. Leo’s light provides the strength and courage to do so. The shadow side; however, can result in false pride and self aggrandizement.
The higher frequency of Leo is: LOVE! The lower frequency is: Disconnection from the heart (true self) and a focus on the delusions of the EGO, a mental creation.
With Pluto, the planet of Power and Transformation, presently aligned with the Sun in humanitarian Aquarius, it is helping us shift old, out-dated patterns and heal from any past pain . . . turning pain into power. We can’t change the past but we can shape our current reality, paving the way for a brighter future.
This Leo Lunation teaches us that when we align with our authentic self, we attract a community of like- minded souls & experience true acceptance.
Your vibe attracts your tribe.
One important pattern during this Leo New Moon is a T-Square, involving the Sun/ Moon opposition, both, in a challenging aspect to Jupiter, the planet of expansion. EGO attachments may be revealed and need some work.They may require you to release how you define yourself and urge a release of EGO attachments to this perceived identity. This is a perfect Lunation to step into your authentic self and highest frequency of Love, for self and others.
This Full Moon wants you to believe in yourself, own your own power and shine like the star that you are. Accept all aspects of yourself: Light & Shadow and bring them into conscious awareness. Being aware of any shadows gives you control over them rather them controlling you. Never dim your light!
Let your inner light shine!
Leo offers a warm-hearted and fun-loving vibration that we can use to infuse our lives with joy and playfulness. It represents our Inner Child and the simple JOYS in life . . . Health * Love * Family * Friends * Gratitude * Kindness * Smiles, Nature, to name a few. You can add your personal joys to this list.
The best things in life are free.
At this beautiful Lunation, tap into your HEART through your emotions.Connect with your powerful intuition and listen to the voice within. The heart knows the direction you must travel to align with your life purpose. The mind is, simply, along for the ride, yet it can be the trickster and confuse you.
Your passions create your purpose.
The next 20+ Years will bring exciting and exhilarating times, along with challenges and opportunities, as we enter a new era. While it will unfold, gradually, it promises Transformation and Innovation in many areas of life, as Pluto’s recent ingress into Aquarius ensures.
Uranus, ruler of Aquarius will go direct in Taurus on January 27th and then, ALL PLANETS will be moving in DIRECT motion until April 1st. Uranus will help breakthrough old patterns of heart and EGO. Old, limiting beliefs may become conscious, as the energy of the cosmos quickens when Uranus stations- direct. You may feel this quickening in your nervous system. To ground your energy: BREATHE. Avoid doing anything in haste. Allow your decisions to come from a grounded place, not from one of haste or pressure.
Wishing you a radiant, fun-loving and warm-hearted Leo Full Moon.
Blessings,
