Full Moon in Leo - 6th Feb at 4:28am AEST

This Full Moon in the fixed sign of Leo sits opposite our sun in the fixed sign of Aquarius. Leo is ruled by the sun and the element of fire so this is not a super comfortable position for Leo.

Leo has a natural ability to shine when their creative expression is set free so this is the perfect time to unlock your inner creativity Leo also tends to be enthusiastic, strong willed and courageous so sitting with their emotions can be a challenge, the same goes for our Sun during this phase in the air sign of Aquarius. Aquarius tends to get stuck in their thoughts rather than their feelings and become a little detached

Leo is also very sensitive to criticism so do your best to take feedback lightly during this time.

This Full Moon will illuminated the courageous, joyful heart of Leo and Merge it with the Aquarius’s strong sense of community and unique outlook

While Leo wants to be seen and recognised for all they have achieved, Aquarius couldn’t care less what anyone thinks and will pave their own path.

When we bring these energies together it calls us to dig into where in our lives we truly want to feel seen?

Where can we be more courageous and open our hearts to building and collaborating with others?

Both the Sun and the moon will sit in a square aspect to Uranus during this lunation which can intensify the charge and leave us feeling a little wired, maybe sleep becomes a challenge

Prepare for change and open your heart to the possibilities that lie ahead.

Those with fixed signs as their sun/moon/rising will feel this one the most, these are Leo, Aquarius, Scorpio and Taurus or anyone with strong 5th house or 11th house placements

New moon in Pisces - 20th February at 5:06 AEST

Ahh Pisces The final sign of the zodiac connected to the element of water and ruled by Neptune (or Jupiter in Hellenistic astrology). Pisces rules everything beneath the surface, our subconscious, dreams, the mystic realm. This new moon may leave us feeling extra sensitive so be gentle on yourself during this time

Pay attention to your dreams and intuition during this lunation as this double pisces energy will make the veil between worlds a little thinner.

Pisces has a strong imagination and creative streak so let that flow if it comes through. The New Moon asks us to set our intentions for this next cycle, Pisces supports your spiritual growth and evolution, connection to self and the magic within.

Take some time to listen to your subconscious and see what you truly desire, use this New Moon to support your wishes and connect. Water can be a great thing to bring into your New Moon ceremony if that’s something you do.

Those with Mutable signs as their sun/moon/rising will feel this one the most, this includes Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces. Or those with strong 12th house placements.
