05.02.23 leo full moon ♪ ₊°◌⁺
this full moon falls at 16° leo, and squares both north and south nodes. the key energy for this lunation is strength, and finding strength within ourselves~
leo is famously known for being the sign of the lion: strong, fierce, a leader. this is the energy that the moon is trying to pass onto us. essentially, this transit is the time for us to empower ourselves, and love ourselves for exactly who we are.
leo, being a sign that generally loves the spotlight, will not shy away from attention. this could mean that things we’ve been struggling with or hiding from could become illuminated during this full moon. this is the moon’s way of asking you to recognise your journey.
in the words of haley comet astrology, leo “plugs into the heartspace”.
this is a lovely metaphor for exactly what this full moon will be doing: plugging in to and searching for our innermost dreams, needs and desires.
some of these dreams and desires may feel uncomfortable or terrifying, but we cannot hide from our truths in order to please others. these fears may have been growing and building along with the moon during its waxing cycle, and it’s time for the truth to finally be illuminated.
but, the moon wants you to understand why things feel uncomfortable, and to work through them and find self-love as fierce as a lion’s. this lunation is about ignoring those who look down upon you for being exactly who you are, and shining as you do so.
this lunation also squares both of the lunar nodes. this could create some confusion, and give us the sense that we are being pulled in two directions. these two directions could possibly be our heart vs our head; our relationships vs ourselves; our job vs our friends. there will be a sense of wanting to try and do everything at this time, but use the full moon as a moment to breathe and take time for self-growth and expression in the areas we need it.
this is a sort of “crossroads”, with the moon asking us to be decisive and confident.
overall, this moon is a potent, fiery mix of love, desire, and passion brought forth for our futures. i encourage you to look inwards during this time and be cautious of drama, as, with emotions running high, situations could become explosive.
seek empowerment, self discovery and love in all areas of life. be confident like a lion or a lioness. and, most of all, never dull your dreams to please society. good things are coming. though not without fear, this full moon is exciting and enlightening. ♡
