Full Moon in Leo
When it comes to revolution, one must always be cautious of considering as to whether it’s the head or the heart, the wound or the wisdom, that ultimately motivates one’s desire for change.
However, if you find yourself presently caught up in the chaos of unfolding events, somewhat uncertain, then the upcoming Full Moon at 13° Leo, occurring on February 1st (10:09pm GMT), might just serve to illuminate the answer.
In a potent point of opposition to the Moon there will sit a collective of planets all congregating in the rebellious energies of Aquarius, pulling focus on issues around external vs internal power, individuality vs group identity, and what you take personally vs where you’re called to be detached.
With Mars sandwiched in a conjunction between Pluto and the Sun, the pull to transform and evolve may feel heavily intensified, asking that you progress beyond the boundaries - both those placed upon you and those you have placed upon yourself.
In doing so, you may find a new desire forming - or perhaps, a current one that solidifies - which is centred around invoking much-needed systemic change. The kind that not only liberates yourself, but also the world at large.
Of course, such feats, whilst noble, are not without their challenges and thus, this lunation may come to feel like a terse tension point, with emotional eruptions likely, as your idealism is confronted with the realities of the status quo.
Asking, are you truly prepared to put your money where your mouth is, when it comes to your belief in a better construct.
With the Sun also in conjunction with both Venus and Mercury (all in Aquarius) and square to Uranus (Rx in Taurus), it’s time to get clear on what it is you truly value and in turn, what no longer aligns. As such, you may be called to detach from certain situations, dynamics, or beliefs, in order to create room for new, more fulfilling connections and experiences to enter your life.
The difficulty of which will be entirely dependent on your willingness to lean into the process, as with Uranus also engaged in a minor grand trine, involving Pluto and the Neptune-Saturn conjunction (in Aries and Pisces respectively), sudden changes may be thrust upon you, forcing you to re-evaluate matters.
Yet the connecting energies of these slower moving outer planets are actually harmonising and merely symbolic of the hope for the kind of long-term growth that will eventually result in a complete paradigm shift for the future - both personally and collectively.
Especially as Neptune’s ingress once again into Aries - where it will remain until 2038 - on January 26th, initiated a new era of spiritual, cultural, and political activism that requires you to take conscious action towards your goals. With Saturn - still lingering on the last degrees of Pisces - offering an anchorage, grounding and balancing idealism with practicality and pragmatism.
And thus, the question remains, are your pursuits in service of your soul…or your internalised self-importance.
By the Annular Solar Eclipse in Aquarius on February 17th, you may discover that your answers come to define your journey into the season and beyond.
