“When we are disconnected from the pulse of our heart, we forget that we are immortal magicians and we readily relinquish our wand and our power. It is time to ‘re-member’ who you are: this can occur only through listening to the call of the heart.” – Christine R. Page, 2012 and the Galactic Center
We’re heading into a month of massive change, featuring some of the most dramatic astro-events of the year. Following Neptune’s move into Aries on January 26, Uranus will station direct in Taurus for the last time in our lives on February 3, Saturn moves into Aries on February 13, followed by a Solar Eclipse in Aquarius on February 17 - Chinese New Year and the start of the Year of the Fire Horse - and then the Saturn-Neptune conjunction on February 20.
How do we navigate these epic endings and beginnings, how to surf the tides of chaos and mystery in this liminal space as old realities dissolve and the new prepares to come into form?
The Leo Full Moon says: by getting centered in your heart, knowing your creative power, and leading with love and courage.
Pluto, Mars, the Sun, Venus and Mercury are all in Aquarius, opposing the Leo Moon. This concentration of planets in airy Aquarius - which has been building over the past few weeks - can stir up a lot of mental energy, anxiety in the nervous system, and “future freak-out.” Questions about the trajectory of your own life, and the life of the collective, may be living large.
But Saturn, the traditional ruler of Aquarius, is at the very end of Pisces, the last sign of the zodiac. This is a time for endings, release, surrender, communing with your dreams and intuition, making friends with the Mystery, and NOT knowing. Saturn will shift into Aries on February 13, signifying the start of a new cycle, which will REALLY get going at the Saturn-Neptune conjunction one week later.
Rather than getting hung up on what the future is going to look like, the Full Moon calls you back to present time, your place of power. While the mind tends to live in the past or future, if you’re in your heart, you can only be in the now.
Feel into your heart and trust that what lights you up, feels like FUN, and inspires your passion is your best navigational compass. To prepare for the coming rebirth, disconnect from what diminishes your life force, what feels more like an obligation than an expression of your true self. The days following the Full Moon are powerful for releasing rituals.
The revelatory potential of the Full Moon is amplified by the station of Uranus the Great Awakener, modern ruler of Aquarius, which will shift from retrograde to direct (forward) on February 3. This will be Uranus’ final station in Taurus, the sign it’s been traveling through since 2018. Be open to unexpected insights and breakthroughs about what you love and value, how you value yourself, and the people who share your social values and vision for the future.
The heightened Uranian energy plus the Aquarian contingent can equal fast and surprising developments, a swirling sense of everything being “up in the air,” tech disruptions, and dramatic world events. Put your bare feet on the Earth, breathe, and keep returning to your center - your heart and solar plexus - grounding into your power as an “immortal magician,” a co-creator of a more beautiful and loving future.
For more insight into what this Full Moon means for YOU, find the house in your birth chart that contains 13° Leo. The areas of life signified by that house are where events are coming to culmination, fruition or completion, and where you’re invited to:
feel into your heart’s truth and guidance – and be willing to be surprised by what you find;
return to your center and to the present moment;
break free from old limitations on your creativity, individuality and passion;
heal childhood wounds and fears around letting your light shine;
and deepen into, open up to, and radiate more LOVE.
