Lights, camera, action! February’s flashy full moon is making its star-studded debut on Wednesday, February 16 at 8:52am PT in the regal and glamorous sign of Leo. The full moon in Leo invites our inner performers out to play, inspiring us to pursue our passions and be more expressive about our emotions. This is a beautiful time to break out of old relationship patterns, overcome creative blockages, or connect deeply with your desires. Inspiration and excitement are all around! Leo’s fiery and flamboyant energy always wants to put on a show, so don’t be shy about bringing your true feelings into the spotlight. Now’s the time to let them shine.
While Valentine’s Day will have passed by the time this lunar crescendo reaches its climax, the romantic vibes will still be piping hot, thanks to a steamy conjunction between Venus (planet of love) and Mars (planet of passion). These cosmic lovers have been courting each other in hardworking Capricorn. Now that they’ll finally fully embrace alongside February’s full moon, we’ll be offered a passionate new beginning that can bring more stability and longevity to matters of the heart.
Of course, it wouldn’t be a Leo lunation without a little drama, right? The luminaries will be collectively squaring off with the nodes of Destiny at the time of the full moon, creating a grand cross that gives every fork in our path a fated feeling. However, you’re probably more equipped for the challenge than you think, as lucky Jupiter (planet of abundance) and wildcard Uranus (planet of unpredictability) are forming a rare and special sextile amidst the drama. This promises all kinds of auspicious spiritual growth spurts, sudden shifts in our belief systems, and expansive revelations — all of which will help us move forward feeling much more aligned with our higher purpose.
No matter your zodiac sign, following your heart and being true to yourself under this full moon is a must. Read on for your full moon in Leo horoscopes.
