We have a very exciting Full Moon in fiery Leo today. The questions to ask yourself is ‘what am I creating and how is it a part of my future as it unfolds?’ What is your creative expression? What is diminishing your ability to shine? Is there simple joy in your creativity and can you create without judgement? This is a pure part of all of us as humans. Letting go or being aware of our insecurities is so very important. As the saying goes ‘comparison is the thief of joy!’ So embrace your individual skills and abilities. There is a multitude of ways to express yourselves and it’s just as important to let go of the fear. The innocence of the inner child can help to remind us. How much easier was it when we were children, generally with very few inhibitions? Children love to play and express themselves and very rarely with any worries about what others think. Keep it simple but practice that same joyful expression without self-criticism.
One of the aspects at this time is Venus (planet of love & relationships) is conjunct (close to) Chiron – the asteroid of the wounded healer. Venus is in fiery Aries after her passage in her exalted placement of Pisces. In Aries she goes after her desires and seizes opportunities and can express herself with more confidence. However alongside Chiron it brings attention to some wounds in our ego and may reveal some lack of faith that needs healing. Venus is love and compassion and Chiron represents the wounded parts of ourselves, so we should try to shine love into these areas. So Venus here will display more confidence especially over the next four weeks. Leo is the archetype of the King or Queen so ruling from a balanced place is the key or you may risk being torn from your throne so to speak. We can see this playing out in world politics at the moment.
Mercury is now in dreamy Pisces now too so it’s not the best position for the planet of communication as Pisces can bring a fog over our thinking processes. He is also in shadow period (slowing down) in preparation for the Retrograde period from 18/2 – 11/3, and then at least a week beyond then as it gains momentum for direct motion again. So it’s a double whammy with it’s already dreamy and imaginative placement in Pisces and then retrograde as well. Double check all details and arrangements, but also reflect on where you are right now and use it as a time to clear the decks and perhaps tune into the more soulful side of your nature when you aren’t having to be highly productive. Great for people who write, paint and make music etc… so there is always and upside to things.
This Full Moon in Leo shines a light on all things relating to joy, fun and generosity. Be prepared to let your light shine and accept some accolades if they are given to you. This Full Moon is forming a trine (harmonious) to Mars – mover and shaker, and a quincunx (challenging) to Pluto – power and transformer. So it makes for a very intense and at times, uncompromising Full Moon. You will want to follow your hearts desire but be mindful of only wanting to get your own way. Keep your ego in check. With Pluto aspecting here, we really feel that urge to survive all of this forceful energy, particularly around the need for change. Pluto wants more than just what us as the individual wants in making important changes, so it will be for the good of all concerned. He will work hard with you but particularly if your interests are for the highest good. Pluto is the ego of the Universe. So with our personal wills being triggered, we will be motivated to do what we feel is our best interest, like it or not. Just think about the other issues at stake that might stem from the more challenging aspect between Pluto in Capricorn to Moon in Leo. It is a highly creative aspect however so it can give you the drive and determination to overcome what seems hugely uncomfortable or insurmountable at times, to reach that higher ground and break free from what is holding you back from evolving. Just be mindful not to get caught out in petty wars of the ego. Reflect carefully on what it is you are wanting to achieve. Keep searching and digging deep and you will find the solutions.
With this magnificent Full Moon in Leo find new ways of self expression that go beyond the ego. Bring your personal needs into alignment with the universal needs for some balance and healthy inner growth.
Enjoy!
