Leo Full Moon Miniscopes
Leo Full Moon Miniscopes
Radiant Heart.
This Full Moon is on January 28th at 2:16 PM EST, and it falls in Leo at 9º. Full Moons always signal a release. In Leo, we see how we can access and reach our inner child. How can I create more playtime and more “me” time in my life? The Sun is the leader of this Full Moon and shines brightly next to expansive Jupiter opening doors and gifts. Both are square to Uranus and Mars, however. So, things won’t come as easy. We must prepare for the unexpected. Things may feel a little chaotic now. We feel pulled in a few different directions in our life. However, we realize that with great effort, we can see great reward. Saturn will stabilize Jupiter and the Sun but from a farther degree. We need to hold onto that stabilization has Uranus and Mars try to upend us. Pluto and Venus will align in Capricorn, grounding us while transforming us from the inside out. We are dismantling anything that stands in the way of our self-worth and personal valuations. We are seeing who we are outside just our careers. We are seeking to get to the essence of our beings and what we want most in life. Our hearts align with our passions. Don’t get trapped in obsession and rigidity. Use the energy of this Full Moon to open your heart center and truly connect with the simple joys in life.
If you have any personal planets in your chart at 5º to 13º, you will feel the effects of this Full Moon the most. Especially those with strong Fixed placements. So, let’s break this down by sign!
As a side note: I do want to mention that Mercury will begin its retrograde period just two days after this Full Moon. So what you choose to release will be continually confronted over the next few weeks during the retrograde. Mercury will be in retrograde from 1/30 to 2/20.

Whatever is standing in your way from accessing the simple pleasures of life needs to be released. This is a time to play and reconnect with what makes you happy. How can you build time for you and what you love in your life more? With the Sun in Aquarius, conjoining with Jupiter, use this energy to connect with others who share similar interests to ignite that passion again! Reach out to friends or join an online community that promotes your interests. Leo needs that fire to burn for a while, so make sure whatever you do, it comes from the heart. Because the 5th House rules creation of all kinds, this can also be a good Full Moon for conception of a child, idea, romance or project! Mars and Uranus will square this Full Moon, so you may be battling some self-worth issues surrounding your self-expression. Alternatively, there could be a change or drain to your income/financial picture. Taurus rules your 2nd House, so money may be on your mind. You may have an unexpected bill or someone may be asking to borrow money from you. Protect your resources, emotional, financial and otherwise. Pluto and Venus will meet in your 10th House, transforming how you view your life direction and your career. The financial change you see may occur because of something career related. Ultimately, Pluto is asking you to make money in a way that aligns with what brings you pleasure. This brings us full circle and back to the true essence of this Full Moon for you.
Taurus & Taurus Rising
Taurus, fixed signs are in for it this year with the strong Aquarius and Taurus squares. This Full Moon will highlight your 4th House of roots, emotional wellbeing and family. Leo is looking for warmth and effectiveness in this area of your life. This is about reconnecting with yourself on a deeper level and replenishing your cup. You need to get to the source of your emotional upset. If you have changes you want to make to your home environment, this Full Moon can be helpful. It will encourage you to brighten your space and find ways to bring more light into your home. Rest when and if you can at this Full Moon. Release old familial and ancestral habits/traumas. These are not your burdens to carry. The Sun will lead this Full Moon and align with Jupiter. So you are expanding and growing at work. You are getting noticed and there can be an influx of projects coming your way. It may feel very sudden. But Jupiter is giving you abundance in your 10th House of career and honors. You are starting to see the ways in which you can grow in your field. It will square Uranus and Mars in your sign. So, you may find there is suddenly be too much work or that you are getting overwhelmed. You may have tight deadlines or quick turnarounds. Maybe the responsibility feels like too much pressure at first. Whatever it is, Mars is asking you to be a warrior because Uranus will help you find liberation and freedom so that you aren’t stifled. Pluto and Venus will meet in your 9th amplifying that message of growth from Jupiter. Here, we see that as you grow at work, you can personally change your perspective. Pluto wants you to dig and unearth anything that is keeping you feeling limited or small. Now is now the time to cower or hide. The New Moon in a few weeks will put you front and center at work, so now is a time to prep for that so that you shine brightly.
Gemini & Gemini Rising
You are no stranger to speaking and letting your thoughts be known, and this Full Moon will energize you even more! Your mind is on fire, and you see the value in what you say and how you say it. Leo is boosting those creative juices, so you can really be in overdrive - just try not to do too much at once. You feel comfortable with this 3rd House activation from this Full Moon. So use this time to connect with others around you, most specific people in your immediate sphere and close family. Find ways to bring joy in your life in the small ways by adding a little spontaneity into the mix. The Sun and Jupiter will meet in your 9th House giving you the itch to travel or learn something new. Since many of us still can’t travel, use this energy to learn a language, focus on school (if you are a student) or teach yourself a skill you’ve always wanted to learn. You may decide to take more risks or tap more into your spirituality with this beautiful Sun/Jupiter conjunction. Mars and Uranus will square the Full Moon and Sun/Jupiter from your 12th House. So, there can be a fear in taking that risk or tapping more into your intuition. Perhaps you are tying up some loose ends and don’t feel ready to go back to school or start a new project altogether. If this is the case, use the Mars energy to work behind the scenes. Nothing has to be out in the open just yet. Venus conjuncts Pluto in your 8th House now, so it will have you dealing with and growing from past romantic/financial issues. Perhaps these are related to you. You are starting to see your value outside of what was experienced and how you can transform even the most shadowed parts of yourself. Don’t fear those depths. Use your healing process as a way to bring more intimacy into your life with yourself and others.
Cancer & Cancer Rising
We know that lunar energy is so potent for you. Full Moons always signal culmination and release. With the Leo Full Moon, you will have your mind on money and worth. This will impact your 2nd House. Be careful of spending too much money and using material goods to fill any voids or to offer immediate gratification. Instead, this is a good time to get a hold on your finances to build more stability in your life. You can get organized and see where your money is actually going. This will give you a greater sense of control. In addition to this, you can find new sources of income or additional ways to make money. You may be grappling with some self-worth issues as a result of past trauma or a close one-on-one relationship. This is because the Full Moon opposes the Sun and Jupiter in your 8th House. Jupiter’s conjunction to the Sun is asking for expansion and growth in the way you approach intimacy, shared emotions, shared resources and your inner depths. This time you can’t hide from what is really bothering you. Leo is reminding you to live authentically and be courageous. Aquarius says that it is ok to ask for help. Mars and Uranus are squaring all of this from your 11th House. So, you may be devoting too much time to taking care of friends instead of taking care of yourself and your partner. Maybe you are overly concerned about what others may think or there can even be some issues coming up with a friend that need to be addressed. Maybe it is related to the healing that you are trying to do. Regardless, you can leave the situation feeling better about your choices. Pluto and Venus will be creating important changes and transformations in your relationships. As you build more intimacy into your life, it will fuel you to have stronger and more soulful connections with others. Pluto does remind you to dismiss any phobias or obsessive tendencies that you may be holding onto as a way to perpetuate more fear into your life. Lean into the pleasure and find what makes you happy in your relationship.

Don’t perpetuate any power struggles, even subconsciously. Venus and Pluto meet in your 3rd House. So, this doubles down on the idea that your words hold so much.
