With the Moon culminating in the magnanimous sign of Leo, we are faced with strong feelings about leadership and social issues. Meanwhile, we are still collectively exploring some recent radical and rebellious ideas, courtesy of the Sun (along with intellectual Mercury) stationed in the opposite and more provocative sign of Aquarius. This polarity shows us how important it is to balance civic responsibility and civil traditions with our desire to shake things up, in the name of future progress and new stability.

The Leo full moon energy can range from restless to roaring. Emotions may be temperamental or even dramatic now. Should any negative feelings come up, this is a great time to do something physical that you enjoy and will help you regroup–even better if you can happily bring others along with you.

While the Sun is in Aquarius, our collective attention is on groups, technology, innovation, and the future. However, the Moon peaking in Leo brings impulsivity and pride to what could otherwise be an analytical time of year. This season is about navigating between enthusiastic action and finding intelligent solutions that benefit humanity.

We must work on furthering higher-minded pursuits while we also figure out how to devote attention to our friendships and having some fun. Find the common ground in awareness of the higher values of SOCIAL CONSCIOUSNESS, LEADERSHIP, and CREATIVE THINKING. The opposing energy between the sun and moon requires negotiating how we express our emotions. 

“Leadership is an action, not a position.”

Donald McGannon

As always, these energies apply to groups of all sizes as much as they apply to individuals. So, stay mindful about keeping the peace while you process any uncomfortable feelings that arise. The best advice is not about watering down your feelings but rather, contemplate how you can best lead others now, while still leaving room for everyone to have their individual perspective.

As always, full moons bring difficult emotions to a head. While we do our best now to make sure we are all charitable and noble, we may find provocative or shocking outbursts are testing our resolve, which may incite hurt, stress, irritation and angst. Try to not take other people’s behavior personally, but do be aware of other people’s feelings and views.

The contrast between the Sun’s position in Aquarius and the Moon’s placement in Leo can have us caught off guard by our big emotions. Feelings of pride, stubbornness, pushiness, and agitation are especially likely to cause us to become too controlling or frustrated now. We can best handle these feelings by THINKING before we ACT, and (in honor of fire sign Leo) by remembering to lighten up with some play time, too.

While the full moon does have a collective effect on all of us, each person may respond somewhat differently to this same planetary aspect. The intensity will depend on how well aligned you have your current thoughts and feelings. When you are living in your highest truth, the environment and things that happen around you are not as overwhelming.

This Full Moon brings illumination, which often appears through any of the preferred subject areas of Leo, including: FRIENDS, social matters, social responsibility, children, LOVERS, romantic relationships, heart connections, ROMANCE, dating, intense love encounters, LOVE, praise, taking pride in efforts, RECOGNITION, giving and seeking approval, dedication, loyalty, CELEBRATIONS, generosity, ENCOURAGEMENT, bringing joy, giving love, KINDNESS, enthusiasm, CREATIVITY, affection, happiness, artistic expression, ART & THEATER, CREATIVE EXPRESSION, taking action, CREATIVE PROJECTS, PASSION, physical activity, self actualization, pleasure, leisure, playfulness,  games, PARTIES, vacation planning, FUN, recreational sports, taking risks for fun, EXCITEMENT, dignity, awareness of status, BEING CENTER STAGE, radiance, vitality, SELF CONFIDENCE, powerful self expression, noble endeavors, BENEVOLENCE, determination, FOCUS, strength of purpose, follow through, LEADERSHIP, management, stamina, and in the body: back, spine, and heart health.

Try to remember that whatever is happening in your life is occurring as part of your journey. Sometimes the details are pleasing and other times the lessons are difficult . .either way, there is always something to be learned. And being prepared is the secret to more easily navigating all of it, on the way to living your best life!

You can also expect some minor challenges and confusion. The full moon creates a handful of awkward connections with imaginative Neptune, transformative Pluto, and mental Mercury, all within a day’s time. You can rise above any confusion by staying centered and double check your facts before you jump to faulty conclusions. Clarity and accuracy are more important than rushing to judgment.

Meanwhile, some good luck is on the way! Abundant Jupiter will sync up with change maker Uranus to bring lucky surprises. With magical Pisces and luxury-loving Taurus involved, material rewards may manifest quickly now.

The main message here is that good things come through our practical efforts now. Just be careful of misjudgment from impulsive assumptions. Good luck is working for everyone now.

“First rule of leadership: everything is your fault.”
