Dear Friends,
Full Moon is Tuesday, February 3 at 4:08 PM Mountain Standard Time (MST).
Tell the truth to yourself about what is becoming obvious that needs improvement in your life. At the same time, acknowledge with gratitude the fullness and completion of what is being left behind as you move to improve what needs it.Honor all you have learned and accomplished and embrace the wisdom that you are now empowered with because of it. You can now begin to release what no longer serves you and move towards a plan for improving that part of your life or that situation. If it is something big in your life that you have realized needs a change, you may wish to do some kind of ritual around its release. Honor the open space and fullness of the opportunity that the space represents for something new and improved to come into your life.
This full moon is rich and vibrant and full of the promise of something wonderful. So as you contemplate it and move towards something better, stretch your imagination to include a more expansive dream. Expect it to be more than you could ever have imagined.
Blessings,
Lena

Leo Full Moon
Sun in Aquarius ~ Moon in Leo 15º
Tuesday, February 3, 4:08 PM Mountain Time
(February 3, 2015 11:08 PM Greenwich Time)
Leo Full Moon is a spectacularly warm and expressive energy.
Leo brings us into our hearts, the center of our bodies. The radiant warmth of Sun-ruled Leo aligns us with our life purpose, creativity, and self-expression. We may need to curb our pride, vanity or desire to be the center of attention, but Leo so loves to be appreciated by others that it can bring great generosity, fabulous performances, inspired leadership, and playful romance. Couple Leo’s magnanimous royal nature with Jupiter in Leo’s optimistic quest for abundance, adventure and meaningful purpose, and you have a seriously glorious, expansive time on your hands.
Uranus, ruler of the Aquarius Sun, trines the Moon/Jupiter combination all in fire signs (Aries/Leo). We can expect a sense of enthusiasm, motivation and inspiration. A desire to make long range plans, look farther down the road, reassess where our wheels have been spinning (Mercury retrograde in Aquarius is helping here, too) and take action to stop feeding fires that aren’t producing any warmth in our lives. You’ve changed and it’s time to acknowledge that. It’s a time to play and devote attention to what makes our heart swell with joy and enthusiasm. Create. Express. Enjoy. Let your inner lioness hold sway. Invite in the unusual and the unexpected.
Uranus is also sextile the Sun – an energy of opportunity and possibilities that will ramp up the desire for freedom and changes across the board in our food systems, political games, social structures, energy sources, work dynamics, relationship habits, living arrangements, you name it. Uranus is making us impatient for radical shift into a more progressive, conscious humanitarian world. Let this Leo Moon support you in taking a risk, a leap of faith from the heart and break the cords holding you in a rut you are longing to have the courage to leave. Aquarius loves the taste of freedom, the experimental, and the unconventional. All your resistances and ‘ifs and buts..’ pale next to the brilliant mental ingenuity open to you under Aquarius’ influence. Here is where we create by setting a strong intention and asking Spirit for help in making it so. Not participating in your own transformation, shift and change is not really an option at this time.
Pallas Athena in Sagittarius is also trine Uranus and the Moon+Jupiter forming a delightful Grand Trine and lending the feminine influence of the Warrior Queen and her powerful creative mental energy to manifesting all you can imagine in your mind’s eye with great ease. She’s helpful also in taking responsibility for what is right in front of you that you have created in your life, destroying it when necessary and creating something more fitting for the person you are now. She represents the source of feminine power that energizes us to excel in our chosen artistic or professional area of life. She, like Leo, the King of Beasts, calls up our courage (fr. Latin ‘cor’ of the heart) to live the path fully that we choose. And just as Aquarius holds balanced androgynous energy, so Pallas Athena balances the masculine-feminine polarities within us and focuses our sexual energies into accomplishing our visions and goals.
While the Leo Moon asks us to emotionally revitalize our selves by radiating our unique, personal creative passion, Aquarius Sun encourages taking the long view making plans, setting goals for the future and joining with others in nonhierarchical, collaborative social change for the ideals we believe in. So Full Moon will demonstrate how living from the heart radiating love through our unique vessel is the most direct way we have to shift the collective dynamic.
Another equally strong energy afoot in this chart and one that will come to prominence again in the fall months is the influence of Neptune in its own sign of Pisces. Currently multiple heavenly bodies are channeling the message of not only unity of all living beings but the essence of the divine coming through everything we see – especially our own true nature. Pisces rules illusion, and the illusion being transformed is that we are separate from the Divine. Neptune 5º, Venus 9º, Chiron 15º and Mars 17º are all in Pisces dissolving the veils to the flow of the transcendental allowing our ego separation to wobble and loosen and increasing our access to the universal flow. Being in the right place at the right time with everything you need has never felt so good! Or so supported! This is the transformation and revolution of the invisible worlds. In these metaphysical realms lie the magical, poetic and mystical treasures that align our inner consciousness to the heart of the universe and where, with alignment, we truly begin creating our dreams by using the magnificent force of feeling deeply.
We all are well aware that our thoughts are a strong force on water, plants, and creating the dream we live in. Use this energized, fiery Leo Moon portal coinciding with the cross quarter midpoint of winter and spring, Imbolc/Candlemas, to engage our powerful hearts to create and invent a balanced world of receptivity and action, individuality and community.
