Fullness of Heart.
The Full Moon in Leo falls at 28º on February 16th at 11:56 AM ET. Even in the heart of Winter, we can find some warmth and joy – and this Full Moon may be just the thing we need to figure that out. It is said that a Leo Full Moon is one of the best for manifestation and setting new intentions. Like Taurus, Leo focuses on turning all they wish for into reality, and Leo sees potential. They spark the fire to fan the flames. So, what flames are you trying to get to burn brighter? What fire are you stoking?
The Sun leads this lunation, shining brilliantly on the Moon — lighting up the sky, even in the darkest moments. The positive side of the Sun being the leader is that it never retrogrades, and it is fixed itself. So, we can charge ahead confidently with our eye on the prize, even in the face of adversity. The Sun and Moon both square the Nodes, creating the first intersection of the new eclipse series. Here, we stand at the crossroads of fate, destiny, or purpose. We see our worth in a new way and come out more resilient than ever.
This halfway point to the eclipses is an outlet. It is a space where the arc of change is at an all-time high, and the throughline is knowing we have to see it through to the other side. Sometimes, we know we don’t always have control over external events, but what the Moon in Leo tells us is that we have control over how we react to and act in those events. We can either take up space and gain more pride, or sit in the dark… in the fear. Allow the Sun to shine through the cloud, and if you feel there’s no other way– dive below, hoping to avoid getting caught up in the nebula. If we remain forward-moving, leading with our heart, anything can be possible. We just have to accept that there may be a bit of a risk to get there.
Venus and Mars are cosmic lovers, and they embrace each other on this Full Moon. There is a huge alignment and shift within us in our general life approach. Recreation and focus come to mind. Our heart is moved by action and passion, a spark being lit by Mars’ fire, that sets ablaze our need to act. Venus, no longer retrograde, now moves forward with intention. Mars will push us to move and assert the space we inhabit, while Venus will soften this, ensuring that there is room for everyone. Together, this inseparable union will deliver the confidence and courage we need to walk into this year.
May the fire continue to burn brightly in you at this lunation and help you scorch the limitations you set forth in your own mind.
May you light up a room in the face of fear, and shine brilliantly in the dark.
May you never dim your light so that others can shine brighter.
If there is one thing we learn from Aquarius Season, it is that there is room for all of us. Share the stage, but never stop taking up the space you deserve.
If you have any personal planets in your chart at 23º to 29º or 0º to 3º, 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!
ARIES TO CANCER
Aries & Aries Rising
Aries - 5th House - Keyword: Courage
When was the last time you decided to listen to your heart? There is a call to bring more joy, expression, and creation into your life. This Full Moon in a fellow Fire sign lights up all over your 5th House, clarifying what makes you happy. Full Moons signal a release, so this may require you to let go of something that burdens you or has been weighing heavily on your heart. Sit with this.
The 5th House is all about risk, love, heart-centered action, creation, conception, and the inner child. You may want to engage in more play and pleasure. It is time to let loose and try something you normally wouldn’t. Some of you may start a new relationship, try to have a baby, or even bring more warmth and passion back into an existing relationship. Alternatively, you could be expressing yourself in an entirely new way. You are getting into a groove and more willing to put yourself out there. This requires a level of confidence that you are coming into. Give yourself grace. It is ok to take up space.
Venus and Mars align in your 10th House. Venus and Mars are the cosmic lovers and when they link up, there is a feeling of things coming together or becoming more “whole.” After so much review and time spent thinking about your work, career, vocation or even how you are perceived, you can make some headway now. Both of these planets are pushing you to see how valuable you are to the outside world. There may be an ask to contribute to something bigger or to go after what you want. This would be an ideal time to turn a passion into something more or to find ways to “level up” in your career. The perceptions of other people matter a lot less now — it is time to stand in your power.
Use this Full Moon to embrace your inner child and make room for play and joy. Seek creativity and happiness. Listen to your heart more and let loose. You have a chance to express yourself in a new way. Don’t hide pieces of who you are. People deserve to see you — all of you.
Taurus & Taurus Rising
Taurus - 4th House - Keyword: Sanctuary
A focus on your home life may do you some good, especially after weeks of running around and busy moments with work. You may be feeling pulled to focus on your domestic world, and seeking to rest up. This Full Moon in Leo is the perfect antidote to combat everything you have had going on. It will fall in your 4th House of home, family, roots, and emotional well-being.
This is a call to turn your attention to your foundations and get your life in order. If you feel the need to withdraw or tend to your space– then this is the perfect time to do so. You may want to spruce up your decor, try a new recipe, or connect with family members. Some of you may be looking to buy, sell, or rent property, or simply just make light updates to your home. Whatever it is, this Full Moon will require you to seek refuge and create your sanctuary. If you have been combing through the past, you may be inspired by old ideas and connections you’ve made.
Your ruler, Venus, takes time to meet with its lover, Mars, around this Full Moon. This conjunction is a powerful one that reminds you of how far you have come. When these two meet, we are given a sense of “fullness” where two seemingly opposing forces come together harmoniously. You are asked to embrace something new entirely, to open up and seek! There is a call to push past stagnation and take a risk that you have been putting off. Maybe it is time to believe more, especially as these two meet in your 9th House. You need to have faith in what you know. Stop seeing reasons why you can’t and start believing that you can — even if it feels uncomfortable. This marks a turning point in your ability to see what is truly possible for you and your future.
Use this Full Moon to focus on your well-being. Pull yourself in and withdraw a bit if needed. Reflect on the past and make peace with your journey. Reach out to your family or loved ones. Update your space or make changes to your living situation. Your home is your heart right now. You may need to slow down to remind yourself of the inherent power you hold.
Gemini & Gemini Rising
Gemini - 3rd House - Keyword: Vocalizing
It may be time to share what has been brewing in your mind. It seems that your ideas are coming in rapid fire, and you have so much you would like to get done now. This Full Moon in Leo comes sweeping, shining a light on your 3rd House, so prepare to share! The 3rd House is the house of communication, thoughts, ideas, language, and local community. This is a space that feels natural to you.
You may be wrapping up a project, focusing on writing content/blogs/articles, or even simply seeking to learn as much as possible. Your mind is insatiable right now. There is a call to interact and learn through those interactions, so reach out to people to help get your ideas flowing. Alternatively, you may just be feeling busier than normal. The 3rd House can have us filling our schedules quickly. Take a moment to step back and prioritize what is important to you. Are you spreading yourself too thin? What actually needs your attention right now? Be mindful of how you use your time.
Venus and Mars dance with one another around this lunation. This marks a pivotal turning point in your healing journey. Venus has gone to hell and back with you, and now that it is direct, we see that things aren’t as scary as we once thought. Mars brings a sense of action and the ability to be motivated by everything you have been thinking about in the last few months. These cosmic lovers embrace in your 8th House, making this an ideal Full Moon for really getting intimate with a partner or someone you trust — maybe even yourself. The 8th House also is a financial house, so look for resources that may be available to you — especially ones that you had not considered before. After months of wading through the shadows, you are getting ready to rise.
Use this Full Moon to practice balance and levity. Ask for advice and chat about your ideas. Reach out to people in your life to connect. Learn, adapt, and integrate. Reprioritize what you are doing and create less “busyness” in your life to welcome more of what you love. Your words hold power. Your ideas are worthy.
Cancer & Cancer Rising
Cancer - 2nd House - Keyword: Value
With a Full Moon in your 2nd House, you will be all eyes on security. However, security can come in many forms. You will be asked to look at your resources, your values, and your self-worth. Do you feel that you are enough? Have you been giving yourself grace? Are you using your resources effectively? Perhaps you need to make changes to how you produce and accumulate.
You may be too hyper-focused on what brings you security now but remain complacent. Strategy is important here. The long-term is where things will pay off for you. The Leo energy at this Full Moon wants you to dream a little and stoke the creativity in your heart. It wants you to trust that the talents you have and see that you are enough to make everything you want to come true. You could work on budgeting, changing banks or investments, or even shift/change your source(s) of income at this lunation. Don’t let impostor syndrome keep you down. You are a valuable part of your community.
Venus and Mars finally meet after dancing around one another for the last little while. With these cosmic lovers spending time in your 7th House, your one-on-one relationships come into full focus. It seems that someone close to you is really empowering you or wanting you to act on your ideas/beliefs. They may be a guide, a support system or even just a listening ear. The personal relationships you have cultivated seem to be what is fueling you — they may even provide you with some financial assistance. Don’t shy away from the help. Embrace it. Both Mars and Venus want you to know that you are not alone. Sharing and allowing yourself to receive will set you free.
Use this Full Moon to focus on your self-worth and your resources. Change how you see value in what you do. Ask for what you deserve and provide yourself a seat at the table. Own up to your talents and be proud of how far you have come. You are secure. Stop holding yourself back for fear of leaving comfort behind.
LEO TO SCORPIO
Leo & Leo Rising
Leo - 1st House - Keyword: Desire
It is time to bring it all back to you. This Full Moon falls in your sign, highlighting your drive, motivations, and desires. It is literally illuminating the ground you walk on and where you stand. You need to know that you are being tasked with confronting anything that is currently seen as an obstacle.
This Full Moon can have you surged with energy (watch for exhaustion post-Full Moon) and will have you feeling passionate about something that has been top of mind. Whatever you want in life, it can be yours if you are willing to go for it. Your 1st House is all about the things that drive us in life. You are being told that your identity is important. You are being witnessed, perceived, and seen. The masks are coming off. Stand within your courageous being and take control of your desires. Release what has been plaguing you or holding you back.
With Venus and Mars in your 6th House, a lot of this may be related to your performance or ability to care for yourself or others. There is a new cycle starting in your work and health areas of life. You have been combing through this for the last few months, and now it seems that you are re-energized. You could be looking to set new boundaries, start new routines and make adjustments to your daily life/work life. Work life balance feels really big for you right now, too. There is a spirit of adventure that is itching to come out more, and it will help you release any stagnation you may feel.
Use this Full Moon to fully focus on your growth and yourself. Leverage your resilience and your strength. Find what fuels you and drives you forward. Listen to your heart and make room for your passions. Desire can take you far. You can walk into the spotlight now. It is time to be seen.
Virgo & Virgo Rising
Virgo - 12th House - Keyword: Respite
After a busy and full last few weeks, you are seeking respite and a chance to slow down. As we enter the realm of this Leo Full Moon, you will be called into a place of rest and restoration. Your 12th House is now being illuminated by this lunation, where we can find the subconscious energy we hold come to the surface.
You are shining a light on all that has felt hidden or unseen. Old buried emotions may come back if they have not been properly dealt with. Some of you may also be looking to engage in an ending of sorts. You could be bringing something to a close: a project, a relationship, a contract, or even a phase of your life. Whatever it is, you are asked to have faith and trust in yourself. The biggest challenge of the 12th House is knowing when to let go and learning to trust your intuition.
After months of working on your own sense of pride and creativity, this Full Moon starts to help you piece things together. Venus and Mars meet in your 5th House, reminding you what you are made of and what you deserve. Your creativity may be at an all time high, and there is a feeling of wanting to conceive something: a new idea, a new project or even the conception of an actual being. This conjunction between these cosmic lovers doesn’t just end there. Both of these planets are pushing you to see that happiness and joys are not earned, but inherent. You are worthy of doing what you love and making time for fun/play. Passion is valuable — even if it can’t be rationalized.
Use this Full Moon to take time away and reflect. Rest and restore. Listen to your intuition and slow down. Practice mindfulness and pay attention to your dreams. Create for the sake of creating. Play just because you can. Endings are near, but so too, are new beginnings.
Libra & Libra Rising
Libra - 11th House - Keyword: Hope
When was the last time you allowed yourself to envision what tomorrow could look like? The future is unpredictable, but sometimes we need to be reminded to have a little hope. This Full Moon in Leo may be just what you need to engage with that energy. It will shine brilliantly in your 11th House of hopes, dreams, the future, network, and community.
You are being called to surround yourself with people who want to support you and uplift you. Friends will be coming out of the woodwork and showing up for you. The community you have created is one that is abundant and allows you to flourish…just remember to reach out to them when you need their help. You may have a tendency to want to do things all on your own, but others have strengths where you feel weak. Knowing when to let other people in can be powerful for you. This Full Moon wants you to know that you are not alone. Another way to engage in this beautiful Leo energy is to give yourself space to create, maybe even set up a plan or idea of what your next steps may look like. The future always begins today.
Venus, your ruler, spends time cozying up to Mars around this lunation. Any stagnation you have felt with home-related or family-related matters will start to move forward. For the last few months, there has been a lot of activity around your home life, and with this Mars/Venus conjunction, you can see proper action. These two planetary lovers are working to bring something to “fullness” or completion, both wanting to feel grounded and secure. You are creating new foundations and opening yourself up to new ideas of what “home” really means to you. If you want to decorate or renovate, these two will make sure the project stays on track and onbudget…mostly. Alternatively, you could be working with your own roots or emotional well-being at this Full Moon. Tune into how you feel and validate your emotions without seeking other people to do it for you.
Use this Full Moon to work on your community and network. Connect with friends and open yourself to them in a new way. Weed out the people in your life who don’t want you to grow. Focus on your future and make space to dream about what tomorrow has in store for you.
Scorpio & Scorpio Rising
Scorpio - 10th House - Keyword: Direction
You may be really focusing on your work, career, or direction right now. It seems that you have been doing a lot to secure a better path for yourself. Long-term goals come to the forefront of your mind. This Full Moon in Leo asks you to dream about what you want your career to look like. If you want to make changes, you may find that you can shed all inhibition you have and walk toward something more creative or in line with your vision.
Your 10th House is being illuminated in a way that it has not been for quite some time. All of your work in the last few years has not been in vain. You are starting to see how even unrelated efforts are impacting the big picture for you. The ask here is that you start to clearly define your goals. You may have to be more realistic about work or release expectations here. Maybe too much is being asked of you. You could apply for new positions, receive a promotion, leave a job, or even change careers altogether. Whatever it is, you are more aware of your position and direction.
Venus and Mars embrace at this lunation, working together to create a “wholeness” in your 3rd House. Mars will help Venus, as they move closer toward a conjunction. You may find the courage to speak up and say what you need to, instead of avoiding a problem. Conflict resolution is important. There is a call to slowing down the pace of the “busyness” you feel in your life. You can only run so fast and so far before it becomes too much. Mars wants you to prioritize, while Venus gifts you the words you need to say. It isn’t so much that you come up with a plan for what may need to change in your life, but more that you share this plan with others. The 3rd House reminds you to call upon those in your local community and those in your network to support you as you navigate all of the “new” in your life.
Use this Full Moon to focus on your career and work. Spend time dreaming up what your life direction could look like. Establish relationships with those in higher positions, and plan your long-term goals. Speak up when you are being overworked or under-valued. Leverage what you have learned this year to help you, but more– know your limits and when it’s time to ask for help.
SAGITTARIUS TO PISCES
Sagittarius & Sagittarius Rising
Sagittarius - 9th House - Keyword: Faith
As you stand at the threshold of your next move, you find that you are being asked to see the potential. This is important because you are not as limited as you may have originally thought you were. Sometimes it takes seeing things from a new perspective to gain clarity or know what is possible. This Full Moon comes at a great time, as it blazes through in bright Leo and highlights your 9th House of expansion, growth, exploration, and possibility.
You may have felt like you had one option, but have not given yourself the chance to see there are others around you. What you need to know is that you are in a position where you create your destiny and your outcomes. It may require you to take a leap of faith––trusting yourself comes to mind. Some of you may be looking to gain more insight or a new skill, either through higher education, experience, travel, or self-learning. You could be taking classes, joining a cause, or confronting outdated beliefs. Whatever it is, you are all eyes toward your growth. There is so much in you that you have yet to explore. It is time to dive right in.
Venus and Mars join forces in your 2nd House of income. After months of going through feelings of self-worth, understanding your value, and combing through your finances– you are starting to come out of the woods. This conjunction can set a new cycle or tone in the ways that you increase your earning power or potential. A new client can come in, a new job opportunity may arise, a raise may be in question, or a new resource that you had not seen before comes forward. Venus and Mars are uniting to give you both the confidence and willpower to help you act on whatever ideas you may have. If you feel that money has been tight, this will start to change. Self-reliance and personal dependability fuel you. This is about encouraging yourself to use what is available to you and turn it into something abundant.
Use this Full Moon to know that you hold the keys to your own success. You can explore new realms, possibilities, and spiritual growth. You may go back to school, take a course, or even seek new ways to shift your perspective. The sky’s the limit when you open yourself up more.
Capricorn & Capricorn Rising
Capricorn - 8th House - Keyword: Mysticism
It feels like you are making an important decision for yourself soon. You know that there is something looming, and you feel called to step back a bit. There may have been a setback or news that you received that caused you to re-evaluate. This Full Moon in Leo comes in and says it is time to let go, refocus, and transform.
It illuminates your 8th House, a space in a chart that remains in the darkness. When we are provided a light in this area, we see parts of our life that need to be addressed, healed, and confronted. You may be working through your emotions, going to therapy, or seeking counsel. You could be looking at alternative resources that may be available to you, and sharing more intimate information with people you trust. You know you want to break an important cycle or end something that isn’t working. This is a chance for you to get your ducks in a row and make your preparations. Some of you may even receive news around a bonus, contract, group project, or an investment at this time, as well.
Luckily, Venus and Mars are dancing across your 1st House to help inspire you and motivate you! Mars is exalted in your sign, giving you the energy and verve to tackle anything that comes your way. This is perfect, since Venus is recovering from weeks of its retrograde that had you rethinking much of your own sense of being and your boundaries. Now, whatever your heart desires can come to fruition. These cosmic lovers support you and help you move through the areas where you have felt most stuck in your life. With your 1st House so highlighted, you are called to stand in your power, take a stand, and embrace your autonomy and individuality. Show people who you truly are, not what they want you to be.
Use this Full Moon to do some shadow work and confront your fears. Open yourself up to the changes in life without controlling outcomes. Focus on reconnecting with parts of yourself that you thought you had lost. Reclaim your power and call back your magick. Resilience goes a long way.
Aquarius & Aquarius Rising
Aquarius - 7th House - Keyword: Unity
You are being called to seek balance now. This month has had you focused on yourself, your motivations, and the things you desire. Now, you are starting to see how your actions extend out beyond you and bleed into those around you. You may have your mind on your relationships, your partnerships, or the “others” in your life. People hold importance now. This sweet Full Moon in Leo will be lighting up your 7th House of others.
You may need to focus your attention on your partner, a close friend, or business partner. A close relationship is nourishing for you now, more than it has been lately. If you want to seek clarity around the relationships you have in your life– and you may gain it now. People are showing you who they are — believe them. You could also be asked to cultivate more equilibrium and enact better boundaries. Mars is in the sign behind yours, and you have to slow down a bit and reflect on all that you have accomplished over the last few weeks. If a relationship ends, know that it wasn’t what you needed. It is making room for better ones to come.
Both Mars and Venus embrace around this lunation in your 12th House. They are granting you access to the forgotten, untapped, and unseen parts of yourself. They are reminding you that rest is important and to spend time giving yourself grace in the face of uncertainty. The Venus Retrograde had you thinking a lot about what needs to be let go and the ways you can trust your intuition more. Mars now reinvigorates Venus (who has been direct since 1/29) and begins a new cycle for you. You are working behind the scenes and planning for what is to come, but you aren’t quite ready to leap out of your chair yet. You are tying up loose ends. Allow these two to work their magic in the quiet and lean into the ways in which you can honor your rest. Endings are inevitable, but it is through those endings that we empower ourselves for new beginnings.
Use this Full Moon to connect with those who are important to you. Focus on your relationships, close friends, and partners. Work on your boundaries and find a better balance in your life. You could be making strong commitments. This is all about unity and harmony.
Pisces & Pisces Rising
Pisces - 6th House - Keyword: Ritual
You have been reflecting a lot lately. You may have been making changes behind the scenes that other people are not seeing yet. You are tying up those loose ends. However, you may have felt more disconnected to what is right in front of you. There is a need to focus on the present now and gain more awareness in your daily life. This Full Moon in Leo opens the doors to you turning your attention to your work, health, routines, and mundane life as it shines a light on your 6th House.
This is your chance to make changes to how you approach your day — maybe building more efficient routines or rituals that can help you deal with your schedule better. Some of you may be questioning your placement with work or your working environment. Maybe you are not totally sure which direction to go or how to start. Try not to put pressure on yourself. Since this is a Full Moon, there is a call to release — in this case it would be expectations around what you consider to be work. If it isn’t fulfilling you, then why force yourself to do it? Alternatively, you could have your eyes on your health and be looking to create better habits for yourself. Whatever it is, it seems that you are trying to get organized.
Mars and Venus meet so beautifully in your 11th House. These two are the cosmic lovers, dancing around the night sky. Venus had you questioning your network, community and possibly your future ideas or dreams over the last few months. You may be trying to re-establish yourself in a position or call on others for support. Mars is there to help you. It tells you that your network and friends want to rally around you. Actually, by simply taking the time to connect with people you know– you will see that opportunities may open up. This union is all about leveraging those around you to support a dream you have. Don’t be afraid to ask for help. Don’t hesitate to bring up your ideas with people. They may be the glue you need to put the pieces together. Venus in the 11th also suggests that you can find resources and income in unlikely places. If you are looking for work, ask around. Someone has your back.
Use this Full Moon to redefine what you want out of life. Decide what your routines look like. Make room for healthy and more clearly defined working situations. Try to have less expectations from others, and focus on where you can create more personal security. You are being called to see what is right in front of you.
