The Full Moon In Leo

But first... a passionate, playful, perhaps emotionally dramatic Leo Full Moon tells you to take a break and lighten up. Your big dreams and ideas have to include a healthy dose of fun and play, so you stay connected to your heart... and so you'll have the energy and the courage to go the distance.

What makes your heart sing? What do you want more than anything? Look back in your lunar journal to August 12th when the Moon was New in self-expressive Leo. These were some of the questions you asked yourself then. Now the Moon is Full in Leo bringing those intentions to a culmination point. Have the answers to those questions changed? Have you gotten so serious and achievement- oriented that you've lost touch with your passion?

If you find you're feeling like a tug of war is going on between your personal desires and the needs of others... help is right across the sky where the Sun leads off a line-up of planets in visionary group-minded Aquarius.

All this Aquarius energy sends a loud message telling you that friends, community and a vision dedicated to the greater good is the stage on which your personal creative spark can play its greatest role. Heart and head have to co-create now... and the Leo Moon reminds you that a healthy peppering of fun, romance, personal drive, and creative self-expression are necessary ingredients to help you stay balanced while you are doing all the hard work required to manifest your dreams and goals.

To help you stay inspired... the planets favor intuition and brilliant insights now and in the days following this Full Moon. However, this means that you have to chill a bit, so you can stay present and tuned in to your dreams and your higher message center.

Pluto's the planet that's about to make the big far-reaching news I mentioned. Deep in the realm of the collective unconscious, we've all (including you) been on the edge of a MAJOR transition since the New Moon... a transition that will show up in the whole world!

At the time of this Full Moon, Pluto is at 29º... the very last degree of Sagittarius. .. telling you you've absolutely got to do your part by completing your release of old limiting beliefs and patterns of judgment. This is some sl-o-o-o-w moving energy (Pluto's been in Sagittarius since 1996) that's been revealing the collective underbelly of our beliefs... those that unite and those that separate us. You've witnessed the worldwide consequences of these revelations and the part this energy has played in your own life.

On the 27th of January Pluto moves from Sagittarius into Capricorn until 2024! Pluto was last in Capricorn from 1762-1778... the time of the American Revolution and the Boston Tea Party. So you get some idea of the life-changing energies this planet's movements have in store for all of us... we'll be looking at the transformation of government, big business... and taking care of the business of creating that garden of Eden. It's current shift reminds you that power and freedom come with responsibility. .. and victim consciousness can't be tolerated.

If you're feeling like you've got one foot on the gas and one on the brake as this year begins, that's the universe telling you not to be in too big a hurry, but to use this time wisely. After all, the Moon's all about going with the flow... and the flow of the universe is telling you and me to take this time to get your ducks in a row, reconnect with friends, like-minded people who share your vision, and things that are really important to you... and release the rest.

In the New Moon ezine I mentioned that whatever star you hook your efforts to has to have the higher good of all in mind. This fiery passionate Full Moon shines its light on your gifts and tells you to have the courage to shine like the star you are.

Under the light of this Full Moon, ask for what your heart needs and resolve to release all that gets in your way. Remember, you are the light and the change you want to see in the world.
