The Leo Full Moon February 17^thasks you to feel into your heart space, to find what is real, authentic and true for you. Tune into that which makes you feel vital and alive, filling you with love, passion, creativity, child-like enthusiasm and playfulness. Time for a pulse check to see who or what gives you all the feels, gets your heart racing and your blood pumping, lights you up, where you feel an automatic YES!.

There’s a lot of tension with this lunation as it forms a Fixed Grand Cross with the Lunar Nodes.  This phase brings you to a crossroads, straddling amid the destruction of the past while simultaneously creating the foundation of the future. The friction of this phase frays your nerves and hits your hot buttons, pressing upon issues of security, risk, trust, jealousy, passion, loyalty and lust. This period comes with its share of emotional display and theater. 

The Sabian Symbol for the Full Moon reads, “Many little birds on the limb of a large tree”, the keynote is to ‘focus upon opportunity’. This speaks to having an awareness of options and making the best of them while building the framework of your future based on what you choose or accept, as well as what you opt out of or deny. 

This period could also bring a turning point to a pet project or some other pastime or passion. Children and children’s matters are also in the spotlight now. Or perhaps it’s your inner child that’s calling your attention. 

The Full Moon also engages with Pluto in Capricorn, suggesting a shift, and doing away with whatever has been keeping you from feelings of fulfillment, love and happiness. 

The cosmic lovers, Mars and Venus, meet up in Capricorn at this Full Moon. These two have an unusually long date night as they’ll be traveling close together for several weeks to come, which is a rare extended stay. This is the start of a new cycle suggesting the initiation and formation of associations and relations that stand the test of time. This influence also refers to commitments, boundaries, respect and standards of behavior in relationships. It may also mark the start of new financial or economic structures, retirement plans or investments. 

Also worth mentioning is that this Full Moon is very significant to the U.S. chart as Pluto in Capricorn is making his return to the place in the skies when the Country was ‘born’ – Pluto hasn’t seen this slice of the Heavens since 1776!

Pluto represents power, transformation and the cycle of life, death and rebirth, while Capricorn, ruled by Saturn, symbolizes authority, government and societal structures. This transpires in the second house of wealth and values, suggesting that there’s a transformation of economic structures, banking and currencies. 

What is now being witnessed is the destruction, dismantling and reconstruction of those frameworks. If it feels as if everything is collapsing, that’s because it is, but try not to get stuck in fear and panic mode, this leaves fertile ground on which to build anew. It’s important to focus on co-creating structures and timelines that you actually wish to live in. We are all in this together and all have a role to play. Understand that many things that once were, will not remain, and that’s ok – many of those flawed and failed frameworks and systems no longer serve your highest good. Learn to let go and allow, roll with the changes and look for opportunity to rebuild and re-create.  

Pluto also connects with the Full Moon showing a shift in Power. 

The Full Moon in Leo also sits across the sky from the Aquarius Moon in the U.S. chart, highlighting the people. This illustrates that the people of the Country are by nature, freedom loving, rebellious and humanitarian types. This lunation stirs the heartstrings of many, awakening people to their inherent power, perhaps bringing emotional displays, heroic courage and leadership. This period is pivotal.

This Full Moon also holds a rare connection between Jupiter in Pisces and Uranus in Taurus, lasting for about two weeks surrounding the Full Moon. This is an extraordinary influence that’s visionary, spiritual and otherworldly, full of curiosities, oddities and unexplained, magical, anomalies. Tune in.  Your psychic senses are amplified to another level now. This is a period of major changes, rapid development and an understanding and awareness felt on a monumental scale. 

On more Earthbound matters, there could be technological developments and advancements. Or there could be weather anomalies involving water, floods, oceans and earthquakes. 

Full Moon Blessings and Good Vibes to ALL!
