Leo’s evolutionary goal is to develop their authentic self-expression, and cultivate the courage/vulnerability to express itself fully. To bare its heart, inner life, and what it values most with the world is Leo’s aim. Playfulness, creativity, and saying yes to life is pathway for attaining that goal.
The full moon sit opposite the sun in Aquarius. Though Leo and Aquarius are in polarity to one another, they share a common ground. For the sign of the rebel (Aquarius) and the sign of the performer (Leo), being true to your authentic self no matter how others may perceive you is the foundation they stand on.
Uranus, the planet of freedom and individuation, and Aquarius’ co-ruler, sits in tensity with this lunation. Uranus echoes the theme of individuality as it challenges us to be true to ourselves regardless of social approval. Uranus challenges us to break the rules and life a life that feels and looks authentic to who we truly are regardless of societal expectations.
While Leo represents the individual and Aquarius represents the collective, understanding what you want to create in life, what you value, and the social groups and movements you want to be a part of, understanding who you truly are comes first. Everything else follows that.
To add to this, all planets are currently direct, which means that we may be feeling inspired on how we want to take action/move forward in the coming months. Now is a great time to think about how you want to share your creativity/self-expression (Leo) with your community (Aquarius).
Reflections:
Full moons are associated with releasing, can you release any expectations that have been imposed upon you and instead choose to be true to yourself?
Are there any parts of you that you’ve dimmed to be accepted? How can you begin to allow that part of you to step out into the sun and express itself?What would being more authentic to your true self look like and feel like?
How can you invite more joy and play into your life while working on your goals? How can you celebrate yourself/life more?
