Leo Full Moon: Jan 25 – Feb 9, 2024

Welcome to Aquarius Season!

We’re under the energy of a dramatic Leo full Moon exact on Jan 25, at 12:53 PM ET.

Pluto is in Aquarius (2/3 ingress), Venus is Capricorn, the planets are on the move, and the future is here, now.

The Full Moon opposed (Pluto and) the Sun at 5+ Aquarius and formed a T-square with Jupiter at 6+ Taurus. We’re at a turning point from what was unfolding around October 28, 2023, at the Taurus Lunar Eclipse. And, major aspects developing in the coming days — are bringing unexpected developments and breakthroughs.

Pay attention to where you have Leo-Aquarius in your chart — this is where the action is playing out for you. This lunation sets the stage for 2024 and offers a glimpse into the upcoming and distant future. What unfolds over the next two weeks — personally and globally — will be a HOT topic as Mars stations retrograde on December 6. We’re also getting an intimate first look at the lessons of Pluto’s transit in the sign of the Water Bearer over the next 20 years.

Leo is a fixed, fire sign, ruled by the Sun. It represents the heart, the ego, love, romance, fun, youth, the inner child, courage, confidence, creativity; our ability to be spontaneous, take risks, and this eternal “here and now.”

Over the coming two weeks — powerful revelations and truths are coming to light. There’s a need to be bold, spontaneous, creative, vulnerable, and courageous, and lead with the heart. You can have what you need and perhaps what you want. But first, dare to acknowledge it to yourself.

Also, confront fears of failure, rejection, pride, or defensiveness that prevent you from reaching for your heart’s desires. Something might feel like a giant leap of faith, or leave you feeling a little naked, vulnerable, and exposed. But we’re learning lessons of authenticity and self-acceptance, liberating us to be wholly ourselves.

We’re arriving at a sharp, defining, and liberating (at best) moment of truth. On Jan 27, the Sun squares Jupiter, Uranus stations directly in Taurus, and Mercury meets Mars in Capricorn. Expect the unexpected. There’s a need for confidence and to have more faith in yourself. There are unexpected opportunities, heated, passionate conversations, developments, and piercing insights coming through. Sharpen focus, keep your eyes on the prize, and you can reach a real breakthrough.

It’s time to put our cards on the table. Truth isn’t always easy to speak or hear, but it will set you free. Drop defensiveness, and fears of rejection, and let go of expectations. Be honest with yourself. If we can listen and communicate from the heart, we could be pleasantly surprised.

With Venus in Capricorn matters of creativity, money, love, relationships, and all heart affairs are getting serious. This is Venus’s first transit in Capricorn, in 15 years, without Pluto in the sign. This is familiar territory, but nothing is the same — neither are you. Reflect on long-term goals, boundaries, and values about love, money, and relationships, but stay present. Then you can make wise choices moving forward.

Aquarius is a visionary and futuristic sign, Leo speaks of the creative power of eternal here and now. Full Moon’s marking the end of a cycle but this is just the beginning of a whole new era of Pluto in Aquarius.

As the Full Moon aligns, hopefully, you can see we have more freedom and options than we first imagined. Dare to be authentic. Aquarius is a visionary and futuristic sign, Leo speaks of the creative power of this present moment. Start with self-love and self-acceptance. As we deepen our acceptance of reality as it stands, we can be empowered to create a new reality in alignment with who we are today.
