The Full Moon at 13* Leo opposes the stellium in Aquarius that is having a big impact on the collective right now. This powerful grouping of planets is generating waves of change, each planet seeded by Pluto as it is at the beginning of the new era.
All personal planets are currently in Aquarius: Mercury, ruler of the mind, thoughts and communication; Venus, ruler of relationships, gifts, talents and money; and Mars, ruler of action, will and desire. They travel with the Sun through the sign of universal brotherhood, technology, future inspiration and enlightened community. Each planet has united with Pluto, ruler of power and shadows, and of profound transformation. Each of us, personally and collectively, is going through a significant series of initiations and life transformations.
All this Aquarius energy is creating pressure to change, sometimes forcibly. Technology advances at lightning speed and it is we who have to maintain it as a servant of humanity, and not the other way around. Important questions are being asked, like, what are the new community rules? How can we be inclusive and maintain our individuality? What are the new rules of relationships and how can we maintain the balance between masculine and feminine? How can we exist as natural living beings, without artificial complements being imposed on us?
The moon in Leo brings balance to the Leo Aquarius axis. It reminds us of our sovereign nature and our sacred individuality. Self-love does not mean love of the lower self with all its instincts and desires. True self-love is the love of the Divine self, the soul and the higher nature. With so much confusion and overwhelming surrounding us, returning to the Soul will realign you and free you.
Leo is the lion/lioness and, like the Goddess Sekhmet, will realign you with the sacred fire of consciousness, the Jnana Agni. When you connect with the light of your own being, the sacred fire will purify you and burn the seeds of karma. As you align with your inner truth, strive to maintain balance, and continually correct course, the initiations you go through will not be easy. This fire is designed to purify you and awaken you to true reality. Soul evolution is the hardest thing you can go through.
Neptune is now at 0* Aries, at the beginning of an entirely new zodiac cycle that takes 165 years to complete. What wisdom do we bring with us from the last cycle? What purified consciousness, what spiritual dreams and callings? What patterns do we no longer want to repeat?
The spiritual energy of Neptune dissolves the aggression of Aries and burns into the pure fire of the spirit. Everything unnecessary will be stripped away, as Neptune calls everything into unity with the Law of Love.
This is the last full moon of the Year of the Snake, as we prepare to enter the Year of the Fire Horse. It is a moment of intense reflection. What karmic patterns are being revealed to you now? What situations are coming to a head, what chains would you like to break, what karmic seeds do you want to burn?
This lunation favors a ritual of purification and liberation, to make way for the new. Keep your vision of the new earth and your mission that comes directly from the Soul. Deeply release and shed your old skin, until you become so vibrant and new that you no longer recognize yourself.
Now is the time to die to the old. You are no longer the same person.
Allow your soul to fill you with its light and reveal to you a strength and brilliance you never imagined.
