On Feb. 16th at 11:56am EST<\/b>,\u00a0the Moon opposes the Sun\u00a0in 28 degrees of\u00a0<\/i>Leo<\/i><\/b>\u00a0— and this is when this month’s Full Moon becomes exact.\u00a0We will start to feel this Full Moon build from the moment the Moon enters\u00a0Leo on Monday morning <\/b>(Feb. 14th).<\/b>\u00a0Relationships of all kinds are highlighted.<\/p>\n

All Full Moons\u00a0offer opportunities for us to see things in a new light; they also guide us away from polarization and division, toward\u00a0balance and integration.<\/p>\n

Ask yourself:<\/b> How far have I come since setting Intentions back on Feb. 1st or 2nd, after the New Moon became exact?\u00a0What am I aware of at this time?<\/p>\n

The balance and integration we seek with this month\u2019s Full Moon is connected to the\u00a0Aquarius-Leo\u00a0polarity.<\/b><\/p>\n

This current Full Moon makes a Quincunx to Pluto in <\/i>Capricorn<\/i><\/b>, it also squares the Lunar Eclipse degree from Nov. 2021 and the Moon Nodes<\/i> in Taurus-Scorpio<\/b> \u2014 and, in this Full Moon chart, we also have some opportune planetary connections to Jupiter<\/i> (the planet of possibility and expansion), which encourage us to release old assumptions and trust new possibilities. I will go into all those in detail in a moment…<\/p>\n

The Full Moon Squares the\u00a0Lunar Eclipse degree from Nov. 2021, <\/i>making this Full Moon a powerful turning point on our journey towards greater stability \u2014 collectively and individually speaking.<\/p>\n

What is your turning point? What needs to shift for you?<\/p>\n

If you are familiar with your natal chart, take a look at the Houses involved (connected to the Square between this month\u2019s Full Moon and the Lunar Eclipse from last year November) to see how this might play out for you\u00a0\ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

If you prefer that I take a look at this for you, feel free to either book a 25-minute Soul Purpose Reading<\/a> with me, a 25-minute Reading with Lia<\/a>, or ask your question during the Monthly Forecasting Forum<\/i> on Feb. 19th.<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

On Feb. 19th, we will investigate <\/b>the upcoming\u00a0Squares <\/i>(in late February and early March), to the Eclipse points\u00a0—<\/i>\u00a0in relationship to our own birth charts.<\/b><\/p>\n

Now, let’s take a look at this Full Moon’s polarities: Aquarius<\/b>, along with its co-rulers Saturn and Uranus, deals with the idea of being human, both on an individual level and as a member of the \u201chuman family\u201d.<\/p>\n

It\u00a0represents a unique vision and approach to life. The classic Aquarian<\/b> vision is one of interconnected equality \u2014 paradoxically, we are reminded at the same time that the power of unity lies in diversity.<\/p>\n

Leo<\/b>, on the other hand, is all about our individual self-expression, creativity, our ability to connect to a courageous, innocent heart, and inner joy.<\/p>\n

This Full Moon<\/i> is our chance to make a more conscious effort to embrace, integrate, and explore the lighter\/higher vibrations of Leo.<\/b> This is an optimistic, and extroverted sign, that\u00a0represents our capacity to love — and our willpower. It signifies the quest to live from our center, our core, our truth — with joy in our hearts.<\/p>\n

This Full Moon reminds us that everyone has the power to make a difference in the world, small or large — and when we join together, that power grows exponentially.<\/p>\n

Ask yourself:<\/b> How could I best honor both my individual self-expression and<\/i> my interconnectedness with the world? How am I adding my voice (in small ways and large)?<\/p>\n

As with all Full Moons, there’s a shadow side<\/i> to be discussed — the Shadow of both signs involved in this Full Moon:\u00a0Aquarius<\/b> & Leo<\/b> — and\u00a0please note that the shadow side of any sign is usually not as comfortable to look at or easy to embrace. Aquarius’s shadow side<\/b>…<\/p>\n

\n[wcm_restrict]<\/p>\n

Aquarius’s shadow side<\/b> might show up as cold, detached, or overly intellectualized points of view — and there could be some arrogance in the mix.\u00a0Ask yourself:<\/b>\u00a0If I were too much in my head, what would tip me off to that? Where do I get dogmatic about concepts or visions? Where do I conform, or at least want to fit in? How might my experience of life change if I gave up conforming out of fear of ridicule or rejection?<\/p>\n

Where do I hide behind social groups to feel superior to others? Has belonging to a “tribe” become more important than my personal self-expression? How have I avoided following my heart, so I can fit in?<\/p>\n

And if by chance you have never belonged to a “tribe”, then\u00a0ask yourself:<\/b> What if I gave up identifying as a “black sheep”, rebel, or being so different that I can never belong?<\/p>\n

In order to develop a healthy relationship to the individual part we play in the collective, we need to keep an open mind, allow everyone (ourselves included) to be their unique selves, and then bring that unique spark to the collective experience.<\/p>\n

Aquarius<\/b>\u00a0connects us to the complex patterns formed when many come together;\u00a0it represents the power of collaboration, where the whole becomes greater than the sum of its parts.<\/p>\n

Ask yourself:<\/b>\u00a0How might I personally contribute to a better future for humanity? If I had a unique spark that could bring greater joy and diversity to the collective experience, what might that spark be? What is humanity without me? Who am I without humanity?<\/p>\n

So much for the Aquarian shadow — let’s look at\u00a0Leo’s\u00a0shadow side:<\/b><\/p>\n

This might show up as self-centeredness, with some narcissistic traits — picture a child that can’t see beyond itself, that is not aware of other people in the room, cannot see past the moment to the consequences down the line.<\/p>\n

Ask yourself<\/b>:\u00a0If I’m honest, have\u00a0I ever created drama when I couldn’t have what I desired? Where in my life do I take things too personally? Where do I tend to be self-indulgent? What role does my pride play?<\/p>\n

In order to develop a healthy connection to our inner\u00a0child, we must learn to keep an open heart and let ourselves be playful and creative; we must also learn to express our needs and desires, so we can have open, authentic conversations with other people.\u00a0Leo<\/b>\u00a0represents our individual expression, individual creativity, the kind of light we came to shine, the type of joy we came to spread.<\/p>\n

Ask yourself:<\/b>\u00a0What might open up if I expressed myself with my heart as my center? What if I expressed myself with 5% more courage? What might my world look like if I allowed my light to shine just 5% brighter?<\/p>\n

As with all Full Moons, we are also invited to balance and\u00a0integrate the two polarities involved<\/i> — in this case, we are invited to allow head\/intellect (Aquarius<\/b>) and heart-expression (Leo<\/b>) to merge, bringing about a brighter future for humankind — so\u00a0ask<\/b> yourself:<\/b><\/p>\n

What would it look like if I allowed that merger? What if I chose, right here and now, to contribute to humanity from a courageous, heart-centered, and authentic place? What if I simply chose that right now?<\/p>\n

We are also encouraged to acknowledge that we are all in this together, and yet each of us has the ability to effect change by tapping into our courage and living our vision — which in turn requires that we\u00a0drop more fully into our hearts.<\/p>\n

Now let\u2019s take a look at some of the aspects of this Full Moon chart:<\/p>\n

The Moon in <\/i>Leo<\/i><\/b> quincunxes Pluto in <\/i>Capricorn<\/i><\/b>, turning our attention towards the mismatch between our need for joyful, authentic self-expression (and playful, creative interactions), versus our intense desire to achieve something out there in the world that feels emotionally authentic and empowering.<\/p>\n

We are asked to bring an inner awareness to those seemingly opposite pulls. Ask yourself:<\/b> Am I after playful laughter and joy? Or empowering achievements and accomplishments out there in the world? Could I allow myself to feel into the mismatch of those two desires? To stay flexible and accepting in the face of non-alignment?<\/p>\n

No matter what I engage in, could I drop any self-judgment? Could I even allow myself to dance with those mismatched energies?<\/p>\n

Quincunxes can also represent health issues. In this case, Leo<\/b> is associated with the heart and spine, our sense of vitality and backbone. If we are not able to stay flexible, heart-centered and open-minded, we may experience a lack of vitality or back pain; we may also experience some spine or heart issues.<\/p>\n

Remember:<\/b> The best way to deal with Quincunxes is not<\/i> to keep looking for the exact solution, but for ways to feel ok when things are not an exact match — in other words, when something is uncomfortable…<\/p>\n

The Sun and the Moon also square the Moon Nodes at 27\u00ba <\/i>Taurus-Scorpio<\/i><\/b> generating a Fixed Grand Cross<\/i>, which urges us to see the world through the balance of our blissful heart, and our vision for humanity’s future.<\/p>\n

The Moon Nodes encode a tremendous amount of information about the current evolutionary process of humanity. They symbolize the path of \u201cReturn to Source\u201d, where we remember our inherent divinity and unity.<\/p>\n

Squares<\/i> ask for a shift in perception and direction; they challenge us to go beyond what is divisive and destructive and instead to move towards what creates growth. They mark turning points — and this one is a turning point in our ability to balance<\/i> our individual self-expression and our collective desires and goals.<\/p>\n

We must also find a balance between inner processes and outer focus. We may want to practice going beyond our fears (in general) and attachments to survival strategies (i.e. our conditioning).<\/p>\n

Ask yourself: <\/b>What fears are asking to be faced? What am I ready to let go of? What steps can I take to heal past trauma? Where do I need to decide to step into my own power more fully?<\/p>\n

We may also want to make an effort to connect to what\u2019s important to us, to what we truly value (ourselves included).<\/p>\n

Ask yourself: <\/b>Where do I stand when it comes to a healthy sense of Self? What stands between me and \u201chealthy self-esteem\u201d? What\u2019s my relationship to the physical world? To my body? My personal resources?<\/p>\n

What\u2019s my relationship to the Earth? Do I see it as my current home? If so, how can I make it a more beautiful home? A thriving home?<\/p>\n

Since we are dealing with a lot of Fixed Signs<\/em> here, it would be futile to get too attached to\u00a0thoughts, visions, pride, emotional connections, comforts, habits, opinions, etc.<\/p>\n

Feel free to learn more about the current Moon Nodes in Taurus-Scorpio<\/em>\u00a0(in relationships to your own birth chart)\u00a0here<\/b>.<\/a><\/p>\n

Uranus,<\/i> the modern ruler of Aquarius, is currently in <\/i>Taurus <\/i><\/b>and sextiles Jupiter in <\/i>Pisces<\/i><\/b>: <\/i>Uranus is the higher octave of Mercury, increasing our access to innovative thinking and alternative solutions; in Taurus<\/b>, it is connected to our personal resources, what we value, and to our planet’s resources.<\/p>\n

Uranus\u2019 Sextile to Jupiter<\/i> asks us to find unique perspectives that honor our physical world as well as our connection to the divine.<\/p>\n

Ask yourself: <\/b>What if I allowed myself to tap into my intuitive knowing and shared some novel progress-oriented ideas around\u00a0reinventing our connection to the physical world? What could unfold if I opened my heart to myself and others around unique preferences?<\/p>\n

Could I simply be a witness to the shifts that are occurring within and outside of me? How might a new perspective on self-compassion support me in always seeing my value, no matter what the social consensus\u00a0is?<\/p>\n

What might it look like if I released \u201cold\u201d assumptions and trusted new possibilities? What if I experimented with that for one week?<\/p>\n

For more about all of the Sextiles to Jupiter in <\/i>Pisces<\/i><\/b> <\/i>==> please see\u00a0the \u201cNew Moon in Aquarius\u201d video or article for details.<\/p>\n

Now let\u2019s talk about Saturn, <\/i>the traditional ruler of Aquarius, and therefore co-ruler with Uranus — and, it is currently\u00a0in a wide conjunction with the Sun in <\/i>Aquarius<\/i><\/b>, and a wide square with Uranus in <\/i>Taurus<\/i><\/b>.<\/p>\n

This combo is pointing toward our affiliations and communities (online or locally), and asking us to see how we can grow through (and with) them, without giving up our values and sense of Self.<\/p>\n

There is also an emphasis on setting healthy boundaries, on discerning what feels aligned with who we are now, and on whatever supports our individual self-expression.<\/p>\n

Ask yourself: <\/b>How do I feel about my current communities or affiliations? Do they help me grow mentally? Spiritually? Do I feel in alignment with them? Do they feel like they fit me well?<\/p>\n

How developed is my sense of who I am outside of those communities and affiliations? Do I sense my value no matter who or what group\/community I am connected to?<\/p>\n

How have I been valuing myself up until now? How is that working for me? How much freedom is there in holding on to valuing myself in that particular way? What changes in my life are waiting to be integrated and become tangible?<\/p>\n

We also have a Venus-Mars conjunction in <\/i>Capricorn <\/i><\/b>in this Full Moon chart: This is the first of two alignments between Venus and Mars within the next couple of weeks, and it will be exact only 2.5 hours before the Full Moon becomes exact. The second one will be on March 6th in 0 degrees of Aquarius <\/b>(in an exalted degree). More about that in our next New Moon video\u2026<\/p>\n

This alignment represents a marriage of courage and collaboration, inviting us to allow the masculine (active\/doing\/asserting) and feminine (receiving\/allowing\/being) to work together \u2014 in a responsible way (since the first alignment is taking place in Capricorn<\/b>).<\/p>\n

Ask yourself: <\/b>Where do I need to be more courageous when it comes to my authentic standing in society? What if I responded to situations in a way that respects and serves all those involved? What would it look like if I celebrated (and leveraged) my courage and collaborative approaches to life’s challenges?<\/p>\n

And last but not least:\u00a0Neptune in <\/i>Pisces<\/i><\/b> sextiles Pluto in <\/i>Capricorn<\/i><\/b>, and trines the South Node in <\/i>Scorpio.\u00a0<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Neptune\u2019s Sextile to Pluto<\/i>\u00a0invites us to surrender our fears about our position in the world and our achievements; we have the opportunity to be guided by inspiration and feel empowered about a project or task that might serve us long-term or as a society.\u00a0This is also an opportunity for boundaries to dissolve — to open up and connect to what we are passionate about.<\/p>\n

Ask yourself:<\/b>\u00a0Is it at least possible that combining my imagination with trust in divine guidance would support me in\u00a0effortlessly reaching my deep desire for an empowered experience in society? What if directing kindness towards the world would bring peace into my life and my heart?<\/p>\n

As best as you can, connect to your higher Self, and if possible, bring a sense of flow and faith to your long-term plans — especially those you feel really passionate about.<\/p>\n

Neptune\u2019s trine to the South Node<\/i>\u00a0makes it easier for us to release \u201cold\u201d traumas from the past. Ask yourself:<\/b> How might a compassionate heart help me surrender my fears in connection to past trauma or disempowerment? What has been in my awareness lately when it comes to such fears?<\/p>\n

We tend to “feel” each other on an energetic level now; a sensitive approach is therefore recommended — as we are tapping into the collective experience, it might be wise to remember that everyone is working with the current energies as best as they can.<\/p>\n

Ask yourself: <\/b>Could I experiment with blessing everyone around me or at least with holding loving thoughts? What if I trusted my inner and outer processes?<\/p>\n

To sum it all up<\/b>: With this many planets and points in fixed signs, we are <\/i>asked to break down\u00a0long-standing patterns, attachments, and identities.<\/p>\n

This Full Moon urges us to remember that we all have an important part to play in humanity\u2019s evolution — that we chose to be born a part of this transition, on this planet, at this time; so ask yourself:<\/b> Am I living from my essence or my conditioned Self?<\/p>\n

To get a better sense of which one it might be, ask yourself:<\/b> To what degree do I experience joy? Gratitude? Love? No matter what plays out in the collective experience or in my various communities?<\/p>\n

What might happen if I consciously and playfully steered my ship towards joy, gratitude, and love? What is in my heart, that longs to be expressed? Do I have the courage to stand in my authentic self-expression?<\/p>\n

This\u00a0Full Moon\u00a0shows us that there are plenty of inner and outer processes going on — and we’re all dealing with those processes in our own way.<\/p>\n

If we look into our own hearts and see the strength and love lying there we can begin to reclaim ourselves, remember our divinity and interdependence, and lift ourselves and humanity out of the old paradigm of separation and scarcity.<\/p>\n

Flexibility, thinking outside the box, and self-care are critical!<\/p>\n

Self-care is particularly important in times of stress and\/or change\u00a0\u2014\u00a0basic things, like making sure that we eat healthily and regularly, drink plenty of water, exercise, get plentiful rest — and let in affection from friends, family, or pets.<\/p>\n

As best as you can, for the next two weeks, connect to what feels supportive in order to stay grounded and self-regenerative.<\/p>\n
