The Lion is definitely roaring over this Leo Full Moon!

The intensity has been rising, as this Moon has been waxing! It is probably the most energetic Moon of the year, especially as it heralds the first brave spring flowers breaking through the cold ground.

This is a time when you will start seeing movement in your projects and creative endeavours. The pieces you have been putting into place will start to come together during this moon cycle to the next Full Moon.

The Leo Full Moon helps us to find our roar. It reminds us that we have a voice and a right to be heard. It helps us to find the courage to speak what is on our mind, and make sure our boundaries are in place.

This is also a Moon that illuminates what is really going on in a situation, especially ones which have been shrouded in confusion. It shows people's true colours and rips away the veil of illusion, so you can see the truth.

February is also the month of love, symbolised by St Valentine's Day, but you may find you are short on good will, as Uranus is squaring the Moon. This means you may get a sudden change of heart, or feel a strong urge to be rebellious and act out of character.

This square will heighten the energy that is still reverberating after the planetary lineup, the shift of Pisces and Virgo to the North and South Node, and Jupiter now direct.

Jupiter went direct on 4th February, after four months in retrograde. This time helped us to recalibrate and evaluate our visions and beliefs.

Projects, deals and investments may have slowed down significantly during this period, giving you the time to re-evaluate your goals and what you believe in, both personally and collectively.

If you have done the inner work, you can now experience a big boost of optimism, creativity, and growth, especially if you know your direction of travel, what you stand for, and what you want.

However, if you are invested in the blame game you will find these next few weeks emotionally painful as suppressed thoughts and feelings of injustice can surface unexpectedly.

Those who are feeling frustrated, angry and resentful for past situations that have left them worse off will feel these emotions more acutely, as the Leo Full Moon also illuminates the consequences of past actions.

Because emotions and energy are very high at the moment, people may seem more edgy and short than usual, so be mindful of how you are responding to things this week.

Whether it's a difficult conversation, a child testing your limits, or a friend/colleague who has said something that has upset you, take a ‘pause’ before responding.

For immediate action, breathe in for seven counts and out for eleven counts for 3 mins. This calms the parasympathetic nervous system and calms your body and mind that can help shift your entire approach.

If a message/email triggers you, take a few hours to calm down and choose how you want to respond, rather than reacting in haste.

There will also be ample excuses for drama this week, especially if you attract drama. It will be very easy to inflame a situation and say something you will regret, during this Moon cycle. 

If you are feeling especially sensitive stay away from social media, and don't get embroiled in someone else's toxicity. Once you ignite the flame it will be hard to extinguish it.

Instead, use the Lunar and cosmic energies to ignite your passion, spark your creativity, find the words to express yourself, and give you the courage to step out of the shadows.

The more you stay in your lane, remain balanced in the face of extremism, and walk away from drama, the more you will be able to flow through any emotional rapids, and see the doors of opportunity opening.

Be open to the magic that a Leo Full Moon can bring, especially now that Jupiter is direct, and on 24th February, Mars will be too, adding to the magical synchronicities and connections.
