The fiery Full Moon in Leo bursts forth today and bathes us in the beautiful power and courage of the lion.
You may feel this fire has ignited something within you. A light that may have felt like it went out, but has actually been burning low within you this entire time.
Now is the time to burst forward and show the world your ROAR.
Say what you need to say. Be exactly you. Don't sugarcoat. This is the time to embrace and embody the truest, purest, boldest self that lies within you.
Leo energy is all about recognizing the power we hold within and celebrating it.
Not hiding it. Not toning it down. Not being embarrassed by it. Not making it smaller and more acceptable to others.
Fully OWNING IT.
Do you feel the energy supporting us in this?
At the same time the Full Moon in Leo graces the sky, Mars joins Venus in Capricorn. With Mars representing masculine energy and Venus representing feminine energy, this demonstrates the masculine and feminine being on the same page. This applies to those around us who are masculine- or feminine-dominant in their energy signature, as well as the masculine and feminine energies within us all.
This shift ushers in a new opportunity for harmony, communication, and aligned connection between the masculine and feminine.
Where have we been fighting each other when we could actually be collaborating? What misunderstandings and inner wounds have made it difficult to maintain openness toward one another? Where have we felt defensive and closed off from truly understanding, relating, and connecting?
This may apply to external relationships, and can also reflect a shift in your inner realm — giving us the opportunity to move beyond previous conflicts, wounds, narratives, and misconceptions that we have held for so long.
As Venus and Mars meet in Capricorn, we're supported by this grounding, consistent, "make it happen", goal-oriented energy as we move forward. This also indicates changes unfolding in the physical world.
When we take a step back from this space we've been in, we allow new perspectives and realizations to take root.
There is magick available in this moment — to access it, we must be willing to reexamine previous beliefs, experiences, and expectations to free ourselves for what's to come.
Where we have previously put up walls to keep ourselves "safe" — now we must tear them down and open ourselves up to have a brand new experience.
With the moon in Leo opposite the sun in Aquarius today, we also may feel a certain tension between our inner desires and our external presentation or experience. Through this inner conflict, we see what is truly important to us. Though it can feel uncomfortable, this tension is lighting a fire underneath us to MOVE us to where we're meant to be. The gap between where we are and where we want to be is highlighted strongly now.
This is working FOR us, when we release resistance and surrender to the process that's unfolding. This energy + every atom within your being is BEGGING to be unleashed, raw and beautiful in its authenticity.
This brings up some important choice-points for us all as we uncover new truths and lean into the honest expression of our heart and soul.
There simply is no pretending anymore.
Some questions that arise as we bask under this full moon energy:
Have I spoken the truth of my heart to those who need to hear it?
Do I present myself to the world as I am, or do I present strategically?
Have I been living authentically?
Do I want to do things this way? Is this still serving me?
Are my inner desires in alignment with my actions, words, and energy?
As this full moon reveals so much and lights us up on our journey forward, we may feel a roller coaster of feelings.
Good. This means we are fully alive and connecting to ourselves and all we hold within.
The time is here to stop settling. To stop playing small. To stop holding back.
Be the beautiful lion you are. Speak your truth. Stand your ground. Do your part. Honor your soul.
The time has come.
I love you.
