Full Moon in Leo

01.25.2024 10:54 am MST/ 12:54 pm EST

In about 24 hours, Thursday, January 23rd, 2024, at 10:54 am MST/ 12:54 pm EST, the moon will be full in the fiery and proud sign of Leo.

The great balance challenge of the human experience is finding the balance between the 'me' and the 'we.' And the Aquarius/Leo combination embodies that more than any other sibling sign combo.

Leo is heart-centered, and Aquarius cares deeply for humankind, so the Aquarius/Leo combination embodies that balance more than any other sibling sign combo.

One of the main lessons we come here to learn is how to be empowered in our unique selves AND find compassion and understanding for others so we can learn to recognize that we are all one.

And we're clearly all still learning that!

"At the end of the day, the most important thing is that I am proud of and love myself."

This means acting with authenticity and integrity towards yourself, others, the world, and humankind and seeing the value in and discerning when to be selfish and when to be selfless.

This is an excellent time to sit with the triggers, confide in those closest to you, take responsibility when needed, and then send love to and release what doesn't align with you anymore.

This energy can stir up situations that will challenge your beliefs and morals. The universe sends us these lessons to learn one of two things: will it inform or change your beliefs and views for the better, or will it confirm that you know in your heart and gut who you are and how you feel?

Neither path is right or wrong; it just is.

You and your path are unique to you; this energy helps you honor that and respect the individual paths of others, even when you don't agree or understand.

How can you balance learning to be in a community and trusting your inner voice?  

Are you listening to your intuition?

How are you contributing to humankind?

What needs to transform, and what needs to be fortified?

And what action or inaction needs to be taken?

Are you doing it with complete authenticity and integrity?

What is your compass while navigating these challenges?

The "right thing" will feel right within you, and when you lay your head down to sleep at night, you can feel proud of yourself and love yourself. Because in this life, everywhere you go, you take you with you, and when it's all over, we all cross over alone. Everything in between, we're social and need others.

If you've been working on this balance or have found tools and practices that help you, I'd love to hear about it!

In the meantime, I made you a small yet powerful spread to help you take advantage of this energy. If you don't have cards, use the questions as intuitive journaling prompts!
