Full Moon Leo
Full Moons are traditionally a time of celebration and this week’s Leo Full Moon feels like a good time to seek enjoyment and pleasure and do more of what you love.
Although not all Leos love to be centre of attention, this week’s Full Moon is the perfect excuse to take centre stage, shine your light bright and show off your creative skills and talents.
This Full Moon feels special. For starters, it’s in fire sign Leo and the fire signs are renowned for play, fun and spontaneity. In fact, the Moon is the only planetary body in a fire sign right now, even more reason to enjoy yourself.
This week’s Full Moon is a reminder to seek out joy, to find the positives and plusses in your life and to practise gratitude for what you have.
Moon Leo/Sun Aquarius
To learn more, it’s important to determine where the Full Moon falls in your horoscope and the star signs that are involved. During this Full Moon, the Sun in Aquarius opposes the Moon in Leo.
A Full Moon can remind us of life’s polarities. Leo is the star sign of the individual linked to pleasure, joy, creativity and self-interest, whereas Aquarius is the star sign linked to the collective, doing what’s good for everyone and working towards a shared purpose.
This may be a time when you’re questioning where you fit in or where you feel like an outsider. Where in your life are you not being seen? Where can you shine bright and make a difference to other people? Do you want to be more social or spend more time working on your personal gifts and talents? This Full Moon shines a light on your social life and your self-expression.
Lucky Jupiter
There’s another reason why this Full Moon feels special and that’s because Jupiter in Taurus makes the dominant planetary aspect. It’s square to the Sun and Moon and Jupiter expands what it touches.
The ruler of the Leo Full Moon is the Sun and the Sun -Jupiter square aspect will perfect on January 27th.
Jupiter is the planet of hope and faith, opportunity, expansion and growth. Jupiter’s been an exceptionally bright planet in the night sky throughout January, although this will change by the end of the month. Make the most of Jupiter’s glory while it lasts.
Together, the Sun and Jupiter promise luck and good fortune and this combination is generous and giving. Let the party continue.
Wild-card Uranus
The only proviso is that with a square aspect, Jupiter can represent over-the-top behaviour, extravagance and over-excitement. Notice when and where you’re getting carried away and whether this benefits you, or not.
Plus, wild-card Uranus switches direction on January 27th, also in Taurus, at 19° of the earth star sign.
This combination of Jupiter and Uranus both active promises fireworks, electricity and twists and turns. Look out for a catalyst or a sudden spark that changes your view on things or the direction in which you’re heading. Notice where in life you’re gearing up ready to take a leap of faith.
If you have key planets/angles close to 5° Leo/Aquarius, you’re basking in the glow of this week’s Full Moon/Sun-Jupiter mix.
Make time to honour the light of the Moon during its fullness, an ideal point in the month to trust your intuition and make clear decisions.
