Hey guys! I am so excited to be back with you all, for another year, sharing all of my findings, and uniting with you, in spiritual fire!

Yes, fire, and heat, because that is all that our glorious FIRST full moon of the year will be focusing on this month.

Okay, so before I start, let me just give you all a little bit of information, about our bright, and blazing zodiac Leo!

Leo is an absolutely brilliant zodiac to begin the first full moon of the year with, and I am so excited that in the first month, we were greeted with the energy of Capricorn, and now, the equally stormy energy of Leo! This is definitely indicative of the fact that this year (numerological year of the number 9), is taking absolutely no breaks in propelling us toward self actualisation, and our ultimate best!

This is definitely not…

Well folks, full moon time again! Oh my goodness have you found some fascinating lessons this week with Mercury Retrograde in Capricorn giving some times to be deeply honest? Well we’ll now add the proud Leo Full Moon into the equation…

Straight to the chart then… Jan 24 01:45 (UK time)|  Jan 23 20:45 (EST).Leo and Aquarius- ‘I’ vs ‘We’
Now with The Sun in Aquarius and Moon in Leo (both 3 degrees) we have a interesting polarity being brought up here. Aquarius is ruled by  Saturn and Uranus, which is governing reason, logic and liberation and transformation.  Leo is ruled by the Sun and is a proud self expressive, loving sign, sometimes with a brash exterior.

The Leo Moon is proud, loving and emotional and all about Leo. Leo is the self, Leo is all heart but also about the ‘I’s’ -“I love you”,”I gave you my heart”,”…

Astrology Forecast for the Full Moon in Leo

Under the Full Moon in Leo one of the questions you should be asking yourself is how are you feeling about you these days, and how do others see you? The main theme here is how much of yourself do you show. Because the Full Moon in self-expressive Leo wants us to reveal are most creative, authentic self. So ask who does and doesn’t understand you?

This isn’t trival or selfish, the Cosmos has been giving you opportunities to drop the masks you wear and strip down to your authentic self, and now is the time to learn how to be yourself. Have you noticed? I feel it’s become increasingly apparent to many of you what or who is making…

The Full Moon comes around every month, sometimes squeezing in twice. Like a big spot light in inky blackness it draws out emotions and instinctive feelings like silver fish to the surface of the ocean.

We all respond with a strong urge to meet it’s lunar light and flow in the area of the zodiac sign it highlights.
In Leo, the spotlight is what we’re here for. This is not a time to hold back, this is your moment, take it. Step up and express yourself creatively, dramatically and passionately like no one and everyone are watching.

Sooo much energy in the ‘wintry’ Zodiac signs, CAP to PISCES, and no planetary placements from mid-ARIES to end of VIRGO, these days / weeks / months, until end of March when ARIES kicks in, with the SUN, MERCURY, in April also VENUS.

The Lunar LEO vibe is a welcome counter-balance, with an infusion of warm, creative, joyful, playful mood.

Can you  FEEL it coming in?

The MOON will enter LEO today Sat Jan 23 at 11:21 am PST, to come into her majestic Leonine fullness exactly at 5:46 pm PST, right after  Moonrise here on the WestCoast. Illuminating the synergistic axis from early LEO that’s so creatively playful (hence, I call that…

Full moon tonight peaks in the early hours of Sunday morning around 03h45 in the Central African/European time zone two hours east of Greenwich. According to the Western system this is a Leo full moon with Sun in the opposite sign of Aquarius. The Leo-Aquarius polarity produces an interesting dynamic of fixed signs this weekend, where the qualities of reliability, stability, determination and reluctance to change are the foundation. “Fixed” signs (which include Taurus and Scorpio), as the name implies, bring with them a fixity of of character which provide great strength and will-power but also a lack of adaptability. So those with them strongly featured in their charts will rather put up with a situation than change it. Or they will slowly but surely chip away at a problem or challenge with careful determination in order to bring about any change required. When the irresistible force meets the immovable…

Full Moon in Pushya Nakshatra (2nd pada). The name ’Pushya’ means ’to strengthen’, ’to fortify’, and it is etymologically related to the word ’Pushti’ (’nourishment’), thus has also these connotations: ’to preserve’, ’to protect’, ’to replenish’, ’to multiply’. Albeit Pushya is ruled by Brihaspati (Jupiter), the God of Divine Wisdom, just the same, its ruling planet is Saturn: a strong instinct for exploration, faith in oneself, enjoyment of life and constancy of mind can occur simultaneously due to the interaction of these antagonist principles. Pushya’s main symbol is the ‘milk yielding udder of a cow’. (The ancient Hindu seers saw Pushya’s three stars as representing a cow’s udder.) Chandra (the Moon) in Pushya Nakshatra indicates a person who is religious, conventional, helping, selfless, caring, intelligent and spiritual. He/She is usually self-sufficient and wealthy, but gives service to others and the underprivileged. However, as he/she is stubborn, can be arrogant and…

This Full Moon in Leo is inviting us to receive the rhythms of our heart: the explosions of joy as much as the swings of discomfort. Those feelings travel through us and punctuate our daily lives. What if they didn’t have to be understood but rather witnessed with kindness and patience like a supportive parent would do for a child?

‘’I am here for you, breathe. You have the right to feel that.’’

What is the force that makes us breath? What is this gentle pulse that cares for us through days and nights beating our heart in order to feed our entire body? We don’t have to think or do anything, it all happens by itself.

Is it possible then that the same power that regulates the harmonious functioning of our body operates at a higher level and coordinate some essential aspects of our life’s path?
What if we…
