Summon Gratitude
The Full Moon symbolizes the modern human feeling of being pulled in two different directions at once. This upcoming Leo Full Moon challenges you to be true to your own individual heart, while still being part of the group. When you summon gratitude and share it out loud, you can easily hold both truths. The practice of gratitude enables you to see the love that surrounds you and that you emanate, even during times of great challenge.
Center Yourself
We often find ourselves having to deal and live with paradox, struggling with where to compromise and where to stick to our ideals. When we accept the messy complexity of life, we can resist the desire to divide life up into tidy “either/or” categories. Amidst the chaos, the Leo Full Moon suggests centering yourself and witnessing how your personal story mirrors and contributes to the universal human story. As you find self-confidence, it liberates you to take the eagle’s view and join forces to create inventive solutions during this Aquarius season. Note that Leo cautions against becoming too self-involved, since it leads to forgetting about your community membership. At its best, the Leo-Aquarius combination harnesses generosity and warmth for the purpose of sharing and fulfilling social vision.
The Week Ahead: February 5–13
At the Full Moon in Leo, celebrate a recent victory regarding overcoming roadblocks, or at least in managing expectations. Rather than getting caught up in any Leo ego bluster, respect and spotlight the efforts of the group. Gather everyone around and regale them with tales of community gain and social benefit. Evaluate connections by using your intuition rather than mental analysis, so you can tune into how others might be feeling. If you notice tension, take informed action to strengthen bonds.
Before or by February 9, pair up with a new friend to do something fun and let it invigorate you. Enjoy this brief dance with softer energies, as a new cycle of serious thoughtfulness begins on February 10. Deep concerns strongly hold your fascination. You almost can’t look away. You might also feel tempted to persuade people to see your point of view. However, if you’ve done the work leading up to this point, trust that those who join you have already fully committed of their own accord. This is the key ingredient to building sustainable alliances for the tasks ahead. When Mercury moves into Aquarius February 11, you can look forward and apply brilliant thinking to the issues. Keep the lines of communication open so that deeper topics continue to be relatively easy to discuss.
