Full Moon in Leo

We are at the first Full Moon of the year. While the Full Moon is at its’ peak on Thursday, January 28th at 2:16 pm (EST) you can probably already feel the energy building….
As I have written before the Full Moon, brings light on the things we sometimes don’t see, often the things we are trying to keep hidden. Many refer to this as our shadow. While this can be incredibly emotional, it is also a time of great release. When we don’t pay attention to our shadow and don’t become friends with it, it actually becomes more powerful in blocking us from the things we truly want. The Full Moon is a beautiful time to get quiet, to get honest with yourself…Allow the light to show you the things you have been trying to hide from. From there, you can learn to integrate them and therefore loosen their powerful hold over you.
During different phases of the Moon, different parts of our subconscious beliefs are more present. We have more access to these “unseen” parts. The Full Moon is also about completions and endings. This is when the Moon is at its’ most powerful. It is why people can often feel it even more so than a New moon. The light is shining bright, and often on things we don’t want to see. The Full Moon tunes into your inner you and can act as your guide.
During the Full Moon, the Moon is in one sign and the Sun is in the opposing sign. We want to work with both of these energies. So we are working with The fire of the Full Moon in Leo and the air of the Sun in Aquarius. When we think of Leo energy it is about being passionate, courageous and confident. Going strongly towards all that you desire. It is a time when you can create the life of your dreams. It is very focused on self and how to create what is best for you. On the other hand, you have the Sun in Aquarius, which is about the community. It is about being inventive and what it looks like to be part of the larger collective. Aquarius is a sign associated with being progressive, original, independent and rebellious. Very connected to the bigger picture and the outside world, wanting everyone to rise.
With this Moon shining so bright, it is a great time to ask yourself some questions:
What are your dreams?
How are you showing up for them?
Does your dream take into consideration the people around you? (People close to you s well as society as a whole)?
Are you showing up for people other than yourself?
Where are you not taking action to show up for yourself?
Where are you focusing on yourself too much and not thinking of others?
How can you show up better for yourself and others?
What would you have to let go of in order to do that?
