Leo Full Moon- Embrace Your Shining Power.


ree

So here we are. Our first full moon post-Pluto’s move into Aquarius, whilst it is wide, the Sun in opposition to the Moon is still theoretically conjunct Pluto in Aquarius, adding an element of a new vibrational intensity potential to this full moon which any placements of the fixed signs of Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius will most significantly feel.


To get your teeth into the majestic opportunity of this LEO FULL MOON.

This Full Moon, with the complex tapestry of energy from various aspects and with Uranus moving direct, calls for a balance between what is true in our heart that we need to express creatively and how we balance this with consciousness toward our contribution to the collective.

The Full Moon in Leo occurs on January 26th at 4.56 am AEDT and falls at 5 degrees of Leo. These fixed signs of Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius will feel the greatest impact of this Full Moon, so look to see where 5 degrees of Leo falls in your chart to discover which area of life will be most activated now. The day after this Full Moon, Uranus, the ruler of our Sun in Aquarius, will turn direct. This will help us move forward and work toward expressing ourselves and what is in our hearts in its most authentic and creative ways. This alignment also implies that all planets will maintain direct motion until April 1st, offering us a more conducive energy to move forward and activate our goals. Mars and Mercury also form a harmonious trine energy to the ruler of the Sun, Uranus, which can positively infuse us with innovative energy, quick thinking, new ideas, assertiveness and a desire for change. Additionally, Jupiter in Taurus forms a square aspect with the Full Moon in Leo, and there is an influential presence of Pluto, newly situated in Aquarius.

 

Aquarius by nature, values the principle of the team, of collective, and even though they are highly individual, the energy is focused on ensuring inclusiveness where possible.

Leo, on the other hand, although very generous of spirit and heart, is more self-focused.

This full moon illuminates the polarity of the self vs the collective, personal objectives balancing with the group's objectives, the autocratic principle with the democratic principle. We are asked to consider and find balance between our most authentic self expression, ego elevation, seeking pleasure,delighting in romantic connections and a focus on finding some Aquarian objectivity, equilibrium and reconciling the dual needs of our personal and impersonal modes of self-expression, as well as the balance between romantic and

friendly connections. 

 

We may experience intensified emotions with the Moon in opposition to the Sun and Pluto in Aquarius, which could bring up themes of power dynamics in our relationships. The Leo Moon wants expression and recognition, but the opposition of Pluto in Aquarius seeks transformation toward real authenticity. So, this may bring forth themes of personal power, control and the need for authentic self-expression within social structures. 

 

At the heart of this Full Moon, however, we are illuminating our true selves, not that which others want us to be, but who we are at our most authentic core. With the Pluto Sun opposition we are invited to seek the depths of and to get real about about who we really are,

tap into our individuality, and express it with confidence. This is

a wonderful opportunity to dig deep and discover where we may have been holding back in transmuting old pains in the potential of discovering our real selves, of tapping into our creative power and self-expression in order to help shape our future realities in this new world order.

During this lunar phase, focusing on the heart's truth is advised. Set aside time for introspection, allowing yourself to listen to your heart and explore emotions that may have been avoided or suppressed.

 

This full moon offers us a beautiful opportunity to let go of anything that does not serve our ability to love ourselves and express who we are authentically. We are being asked to shine, put on our proverbial crowns, and take our places on our thrones, wherever possible.

We can use this full moon to propel us forward in becoming more self-aware and, with that showing up in our lives, willing and able to express ourselves truly. Equally, we learn to respect our own identity and the individual needs of others.

Where are you truly unique from others, and how do you go about showing this part of yourself to the world? What do you need to rebel against in order to find your

true voice?

 

We will need to be conscious, however, of the potential to possibly overdo Leo right now as we have Jupiter in Taurus making a challenging square energy to this Full Moon, which can exaggerate our connection with our emotional revelations. We may feel more extravagant, feel infused with heightened emotional expression, or go out and spend way too much money to make us feel good. All these potentials are on the cards right now, so watch any potential to go over the top with your emotional expression or, indeed, to go over the top with your spending.

This is undoubtedly the Full Moon to find out potential to love ourselves, that is for sure, but we are talking about finding this on a deep inner level, not by adoring ourselves in that expensive new designer outfit. This is superficial Leo, we want deep Leo right now.

Leo rules the heart, so this energy is all about connecting with what is in your heart, and expressing your heart's desires, love and wisdom. We can use this energy to get in touch with our love for ourselves and honour ourselves in the most beautiful of ways.


On the day of the full moon, do something that celebrates

you. Express your creativity, get in touch with your inner child, play a

little, whatever it takes to applaud you for you, is what Leo full moons are

lovely for.

 

 

Leo energy also reminds us to get in touch with the principle of pleasure, joy and fun. Leo is about play,accessing our inner child, having fun and coming to terms with allowing ourselves to experience pleasure and delight. 

How much fun have you been having lately? Where could you bring more joy into your life? When was the last time you did something completely pleasurable just for yourself? 

Use this time to bathe in the delights of being in your physical body, to laugh out loud and to have fun. So many of us don’t permit ourselves to let go, have fun, or dance like no one is watching. The Leo Moon reminds us to get in touch with this part of ourselves. Leo's energy is also associated with the ego. Is ego a dirty word? It depends on whether you use it or let it use you. Healthy ego can motivate our desire for action, self-expression, seeking and giving respect and love toward others. Still, we can become overly attached to seeking the approval of others to the degree that we are not our authentic selves. An unhealthy ego can colour how we show up in the world, where anything, including dramas, that gains attention is better than no attention. 


With full moons comes a time of release. This is an excellent time for releasing any ego wounds that no longer serve us. This is especially true if we hold ourselves back and don't offer our authentic selves to the world in fear of what others may think of us. 

 

Healthy Leo is extremely generous with their spirit. If you need someone to stand up for you, fight for you or shine a light on your brilliance, find someone with strong Leo in their chart. They will go above and beyond, but make sure you appreciate it; that is

all they need, appreciation. So, use this time to express your love and

gratitude for your tribe and people. Tell them how much you love them. Shower them with compliments ( especially if they have Leo in their chart). The full moon energy allows us to acknowledge, remind, and express our love for them. 

Therefore, we can also use this full moon to think about where in our lives we are being generous and where we could bring more generously into our lives and the lives of others. Consider this time as a period of self-awakening of sorts, which may manifest on a personal and collective level but is asking you to find your most authentic and radical way to shine.

Leo's energy also aligns with the archetypal qualities of the benevolent leader who leads with courage, empathy and honour. We are offered an opportunity to explore our role as leaders in whatever community or environment that may be for us. In any role of leading or influencing others, keeping our egos in check can be one of our greatest challenges. So we can use this Full Moon to think about what kind of leader we would really like to be, how we are leading and where we may see areas for improvement. 



During this full moon, align with the invitation to consider all we do with our heart, our need to be seen, our authentic self-expression, our need for love and how we go about attracting, earning and keeping it. Be mindful of where we may fall into patterns of control or unconscious ego-based behaviours that may prevent us from receiving the love we need. At the same time, this is a period to own our power and connect with our gifts and how we express them, a period to find our inner generosity of spirit and how that weaves into the betterment of the collective. 


And of course if you want to know how best to authentically activate Leo in your chart, book in for a personal astrology reading with me.

 

 
 
 

Aquarius Season 2024. Out with the old, in with the bold

Unless you have been hiding away, you are probably well aware that Pluto is moving into Aquarius and does so on the same day as the Sun also moves into Aquarius. They are lined up in this sign together for the first time since 1778!! This change is as significant as it gets astrologically. There is a myriad of information out there, including a couple of posts I have written for my Instagram page, so if you don’t already, hop on and follow me on either Instagram or Facebook to get an excellent overview, including a post about what Pluto transiting through the signs means for you.

 

 

To celebrate this shift, I, too, am making some changes, and I will be launching some classes this year, starting with a FREE ASTROLOGY MASTERCLASS. I am giving you first access to be able to register.

To learn more, check out this video.

Please feel free to e mail me with any questions you may have regarding these classes. I am super excited to do this and would love to see you there.


Ok, onto Aquarius Season and yes, it is a big one.



ree

We start the Aquarius Season with the Sun holding hands with Pluto. They join up in the very last degree of Capricorn on the 20th and then jump into Aquarius together the next day.

Whenever the Sun and Pluto join up, we can expect a couple of intense days where we may be affronted with possible power plays collectively. Depending on your astrology chart, this could also be felt personally.

I will not dive into the depth of the interpretation of what Pluto moving into Aquarius means right here, as I have written about this elsewhere. However, I will say that throughout this period, we will have Mercury join up with Pluto on the 6th, Mars meets Pluto on the 14th, and Venus joins the party on the 17th. That’s a lot of our personal planets coming together to welcome Pluto into Aquarius. This adds a powerful intensity to this Aquarius Season with a potential for some deep motivations for transformative experiences around Aquarian themes such as rebellion, revolution, originality, striving for freedom and breaking away from outdated structures. I suspect this will be an exciting time politically on the world stage. 


Personally, wherever Aquarius falls in your chart or indeed wherever you have fixed signs of Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius, you may begin to feel the pull for more freedom, breaking away from restrictions and in true Aquarian fashion, a quest for progression and humanitarian ideals.

Aquarius is an air sign, an active Yang energy moving forward rather than being receptive, which was more the vibe when Pluto was in Capricorn. This means the energy that we will feel collectively is more active. Expect to see more protests and more pushing for equality. Whereas Capricorn is all about the maintenance of the status quo, structure and order, Aquarius is the antithesis; this energy wants to emancipate us from rigidity; the individual becomes most important, and a bubbling will begin that will see more of us strive much more for whatever freedom means for us.


Venus moves out of Sagittarius and into Capricorn on January 23rd but only stays there for a short time, and Venus will then move into Aquarius on the 17th. 

Whilst Venus is in Capricorn, we have opportunities to get serious about our finances and material resources. We can harness this energy nicely for any traditional business exchanges, and we may value relationships based on reliability and faithfulness.

On the 26th, we have a Full Moon in Leo. This axis emphasises a need to find a balance between our personal and impersonal aspects of life but also illuminates our creative potential, self-expression, romance and relationships. We must be careful not to overdo it emotionally during this full moon. There will be more on this full moon down the track.

Uranus has been retrograde in Taurus for about four months, and as the ruler of Aquarius, we will have a pretty significant shift when Uranus turns direct again on January 27th. With Uranus going direct, our Aquarius season gets a kick along with energy that may feel like a reawakening, encouraging change and authenticity in our expression.


Mercury then joins the Pluto party on the 6th as it shifts into Aquarius and connects to Pluto. Together, these two may bring some truths to light. This could be a pretty intense time for bringing hidden but interesting subjects to the fore. Mercury and Pluto together stir up deep thoughts and conversations around progressive and innovative themes, which may be felt personally and collectively. This could act like a portal for opening up new and original ideas.

The Aquarius energy heats up on the 10th when the Moon joins the gang in Aquarius. The moon will briefly greet Pluto in Aquarius and then join the Sun to stir up ideas for progressive change and ignite within us intention-setting toward illuminating where we need to be more of our authentic selves. This is also a time for social connections with friends or, indeed, group activities.



And in case you need more, Mars then comes along to stir up the pot on the 14th, when it also meets up with Pluto in Aquarius. Mars and Pluto can be quite an explosive, dynamic, erratic energy together, so we are warned not to take on unnecessary risks. We will, however, feel this shift toward doing things differently from how they may have been done before. This is all about unconventional energy, which may be directed towards attempts at solving intellectual conundrums. 

A strong focus will fall on our need for freedom and independence, which may especially be felt in any relationships that restrict us in any way when Venus joins the party on the 17th. This will see us with Venus, Pluto, Mars together and with Mercury and the Sun all in Aquarius. This has not

occurred for a very very long time. To me, it feels very much like the beginning of the beginning of a totally new phase for humanity.


I will be watching world events very closely around this time as I expect to see a push gather momentum for change, emancipation, and liberation both personally, especially if you have personal planets in the early degrees of the fixed signs and, of course, collectively. 

We may get a slight pause when the Sun moves into Pisces on the 20th, but it does so still with this gang of personal planets in Aquarius. The pot is being stirred. I am so interested to discover how this plays out collectively.

The best way to find out how these changes may affect you is to book a personal astrology consultation. My books are open, and I would love to explore your astrology with you. 

 




 
 
 

NEW MOON IN CAPRICORN Build Foundations, Illuminate Ambitions!


ree


Are you looking forward to this New Moon in Capricron, I certainly am. I have really been able to ride this Capricorn wave and am feeling more focused than I have for some time. Mars in Capricorn is an excellent ally to help ground my usually flighty, distracting energy and set some goals I have wanted to achieve into motion, which this New Moon will help solidify.


For those of you who missed it, I have created a full 2024 Astrology Calendar. It covers all the major astrology dates, including Lunar phases, eclipse dates and all dates for planetary sign changes. You can download it here:




In the back ground I have also been super busy pulling together my upcoming free intro to astrology workshop and the subsequent 10 week “ Charting the Basics” immersive interactive beginner course, designed to help you learn the basics whilst diving into your own astrology chart. There will be more information about this coming soon.

This is the beginning of our New Moon Cycle for the year so I do encourage you if you feel inclined to really use this to focus and set your intentions on what you would like to achieve for the year. There will be some big shifts, and one of the main ones, Pluto entering Aquarius on the 20th, happening very soon. As with any outer planet shifting signs, it will affect us both personally and collectively. I will offer much more about this shortly, but this is a significant transformational energy shift in an air sign. We are moving from a more introspective and passive phase into a more extrospective and active phase.

So in honour of this wonderful earthy Capricorn energy, which is one of the most forthright, practical and steadfast signs of the zodiac, hardworking, determined, strong and ambitious, use this New Moon to tap into this lunar energy to strategise, plan, prepare and plant the seeds for whatever you want to see grow in 2024.



The New Moon in Capricorn occurs on the east coast of Australia at 10.58pm on the 11th of January and will occur at 20 degrees Capricorn, so look to see where you have between 17- 25 degrees of Capricorn in your chart to glimpse where you may be able to invite and activate this energy. Cardinal signs of Aries, Cancer Libra and Capricorn will also be most impacted.


This is the first New Moon of the year, making it extra special for setting intentions and getting into action. This a special time for really embracing all those wonderful qualities of our earthy cardinal Capricorn energy and seek ways in which we may want to set intentions around how we are executing our discipline.

If there are habits we want to change this year, this New Moon in Capricorn is a beautiful time to set the intention for change and access the wells of inner discipline within to enact the change we wish to see. We can really meditate on where and what changes we would like to see in our lives and how we will access and utilise the discipline to do so.

Being a New Moon in an Earth sign, I love to write these intentions out, bury them in the ground, and plant seeds over the top. The blossoming of the plant becomes the physical reminder of the intention set. It can be mighty powerful to watch that plant grow.

However, be reminded that we can often put a lot of pressure on ourselves during heavy Capricorn transits, pressure to set resolutions, achieve goals, get moving, doing all the things. As much as we can use this energy in this way, it is also a time merely to think about the changes we want to make, to set intentions perhaps without placing too much undue pressure on ourselves.


With Uranus in the mix of this New Moon, this is all about doing what is right for you, not what everyone else wants for you and being the Moon we are working with, it's all about how you are feeling. So perhaps one of the intentions to set is as simple as thinking about how you want to feel in the year ahead.

With Mars, our planet of action, also in the sign of Capricorn, our will is certainly more directed toward aligning our ambitions with purpose, tapping into our inner strength and wisdom we have acquired over the years and finding the goals that resonate most deeply with who we are at our core. We can think about how we would like to achieve that which requires patience and long-term vision and aligns with our growth and soul happiness.

One of Capricorn's key qualities and lessons it can teach many of us is the utilisation of accessing and working with boundaries. Creating safe and healthy boundaries that help nourish your soul is often elusive for many of us, preferring to “ give in” to others' demands rather than pay honour to our needs. Therefore, this is an excellent time to work with the concept of boundaries in your life, how you would like to integrate them more concretely into your life and what you may need to do to make this change.

We have extra help during this New Moon from a lovely harmonious aspect from Uranus in Taurus making a trine to both the Sun and the Moon. This energy will allow us to interact with our goals, think outside the box, try new approaches, and access the goals that help us align with being our most authentic selves. This energy will allow us to accept change more gracefully.

This is a beautiful alignment for focusing on personal growth and liberation, especially about practical, grounded daily life matters. We can now explore how we can break free from limiting beliefs again to be aligned with our most authentic version of ourselves.

On a mundane level, with Uranus being in Taurus in harmony with this Capricorn energy, we also find opportunities to gain positive ideas or insight around our material and financial resources and again to find ways to break free from self-imposed limitations around these themes.

Saturn the ruler of Capricron also comes to the New Moon theme in a couple of ways. To start, Saturn in Pisces will be in harmonious aspect to both Jupiter in Taurus and Mars in Capricorn during this New Moon.  This energy gives us extra impetus to build a strong foundation for whatever goals we want to enact. The duality of Jupiter and Mars in earth signs combine well for doing groundwork, setting secure intentions, and building strong foundations, but also for integrating compassion with determination.

There is an extra reminder to focus on such themes as we also have the Sun and Moon in a semi-square aspect to Saturn, which is a nuanced interplay of energy at this time that asks us to find ways to integrate balance, structure, playing by the rules, with compassion and empathy. This energy reminds us to pursue our goals with integrity whilst always being mindful of our actions' effects on others.

Overall I feel positively about this New Moon and its invitation to harness change within, to think about how we want to feel, how we would like to grow, what foundations we need to put in place, what boundaries we may need to honour and how we can embrace the new that is coming.


For additional help in setting your goals and working with your best potential, give yourself the gift of a Professional Astrology Consultation. We will look at the year ahead for you specifically and how you can best work with the major astrological changes such as Pluto moving through Aquarius. My books are now open.
