Full Moon in Leo 🌕
We’ve got a Full Moon coming up! And this will hit us in all her glory in the sign of Leo. She’ll be exact on Wednesday, February 16th at 8:57 am PT. So what can we all expect from a big ‘ol Full Moon in the shining, exuberant sign of Leo? It’s gonna be the kind of day when you’re gonna want your feelings to be seen and heard. Just how we each want to seen will vary widely based on your own personal chart and how the Moon is aspecting it. But there will likely be something that will come up where you’ll feel the need to be big, bold and loud. Or maybe you’ll have a deep desire for others to really see you on an emotional level. Whatever the case, you’ll want to be seen in some way or another.
And this Full Moon rests against the backdrop of an Aquarius Sun. We are still in Aquarius Season and so our egos are still tied to that future focused, unique lens that Aquarians are known for. Collectively, it feels like we’ll all want our own unique ideas that we’ve been dwelling on this past season to shine. We’ll want it known what we’ve been up to. And since we’re dealing with a Full Moon, you’ll be very supported in releasing something that may be blocking you.
By now, I’m sure you’re wondering what exactly you should be releasing. For a Leo Full Moon, you’ll want to find that thing in your life that’s holding you back from shining as much as you could. What’s going on in your life right now, that is holding you back from being seen in the way you want to be seen? That’s really the question. If you started the “Moon-th” with a New Moon Intention, you’ll also want to go back to that and see if there is something holding you back from achieving that Intention and release that as well. Perhaps it’s the same thing? Take some time to think about it and determine what’s best for YOU to release this Full Moon.
Here are some Journal Prompts you can use to help you focus in on it.
In what ways is it really important to me to be seen and is there something currently blocking that from happening?
When is a time in my life when I’ve really shined and how did it make me feel?
Who in my life (past or present) have I felt like has really seen me? What kind of an impact did they have on me?
Additionally, I’ve included specific Journal Prompts below corresponding to your Personal House Placement of this Full Moon.
A Full Moon is a fantastic time to do a Full Moon Ritual and this particular Full Moon will be no exception. It’ll be an especially great Full Moon to be with others since the Sun is still in social Aquarius and we’ll want our emotions to be seen by others. Find some friends who you know will love sharing this moment with you and have some fun with it!
Tips for a Leo Full Moon Ceremony:
Grab some friends and decide if you’ll be sharing in person or virtually (Just make sure that the friends you choose are people who will really hear you).
Include the element of Fire since Leo is a Fire Sign
Include the element of Air since Aquarius is a an Air Sign
Prepare something that you’d like to release and write it down
Find a safe way that you can burn your paper. It can be in firepit or a large non-flammable bowl, etc.
Find a peaceful spot where you won’t be disturbed
Begin with an opening meditation. You can begin with these words: “I ask to release (_______). I am ready to move on without this in my life and I call forward a new reality where I am able to grow and be seen in (_____) way. I am here, I am open and I am ready for this change. I am calling upon my Angels (or Source, the Universe, etc) to see me through this transition.” Then allow for a few moments of silence with your eyes closed while you reflect and allow yourself to imagine what your life will look like once you release what you’ve written down.
If you are with others, have each person repeat this and share what they are releasing. After each statement is made, it is vital that the others present acknowledge what has been said and show their support and love for the person making the statement.
After the meditation and support statements are complete, have each person burn their slip of paper
After each paper has finished burning, everyone should say aloud “And so it is”.
Do a closing prayer, acknowledging your gratitude for your Angels (or Source, Universe, etc.) and for the friends who supporting you during the ceremony.
Many people think that you must do a Full Moon ceremony at night so that you can see the Full Moon, but that simply is not true. The night’s sky may lend itself that witchy feeling that you’re after, but this Full Moon will actually be at her peak in the morning (if you’re on Pacific time), so doing something during the day is great too! Whatever feels best for you is what you should do!
