On Wednesday, February 16th, 2022 we have a Full Moon at 27° Leo. This Full Moon is as Leo as it could possibly be. It may feel that the whole world is against us.
I took a deep breath and recited my vulnerability prayer as I waited my turn: “Give me the courage to show up and let myself be seen“.
Then, seconds before I was introduced, I thought about a paperweight on my desk that reads, “What would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail?”
I pushed that question out of my head to make room for a new question. As I walked up to the stage, I literally whispered aloud, “What’s worth doing even if I fail?” – Brene Brown
The Moon in Leo takes a theatrical stand, opposing not only the Sun, but all the other planets in a “me against them” pose.
This is the artist who performs their number in front of a new audience. They don’t know what to expect: applause or rotten tomatoes. This is the individual who openly shares their opinion even if it goes against the mainstream, taking the risk of being ‘canceled’, still choosing to stand with their integrity.
There’s one thing that makes Leo, Leo, and that’s not a desire to be the center of attention. Leo just wants to BE, to express themselves as they are. Just like the Sun rises and sets, radiating warmth and light, Leo people want to be seen for who they are. These folks ooze playful vibrant energy out of every cell of their body. It is time to finish that creative project, express your heart’s content with wild abandonment and to have some damn fun! Remember that word fun? If not, this Full Moon will be a welcome relief and offer a boost around our sense of vitality and joy.
Authenticity is very attractive. Deep inside, we all want to be who we truly are. Not what we were told we should be, not what society wants us to be. People who are authentic, who are in touch with their heart energy automatically become role models and leaders, and that’s because we all resonate with what comes from the heart. Since Leo rules the heart, expect many declarations that express our deepest and most profound love of the self, life and one another.
When we fail to integrate our Leo energy, we project it as a shadow: we are either repulsed by it, or we find it very attractive and aspirational. When we’re repulsed by it, that’s perhaps because it’s us who struggle with authentic self-expression. When we see someone who’s authentic, we find it disturbing because it triggers our own people-pleasing, society-pleasing mask we’re so used to wearing.
OR we may secretly admire Leo’s bravery and boldness. Have you ever ‘liked’ someone even when they had opinions or values that go against your own? Have you ever agreed with someone’s actions even if they were lawless or morally wrong? We all do that from time to time – because we can’t help ourselves but resonate with the energy that comes from the heart. There’s something extremely attractive about being one’s self – when we recognize it in others, this gives us the permission to shine our own light.
This moon is here to grace your heart with the purity of unconditional love and joy. There is no greater power on the planet than love and that begins first with the self. It is time you return to your inner child and give her or him a big hug and kiss. It is time to heal the parts of ourselves that we have shamed, ridiculed or made wrong. Sweet and unconditional self forgiveness is also a big part of this full moon.
A surge of self confidence and self assurance is another amazing manifestation that will occur. The Leo energy is here to light a fire of passion and purpose back into your life. This energy is here to bring in waves of creative fun and play, to have you tap back into your inner power and ROWR and to grace you with the recognition of love’s gift and beauty.
When the lion roars, everyone listens.
When we speak from the heart, we draw other people’s attention to us. And this may make us feel uncomfortable. This may trigger our Leo wound – “Who am I to be seen?” “Who am I to be listened to?”.
We can continue doing what we’ve always done. We can go along with what everyone else is doing.
But with every day that passes, we slowly disconnect from this incredible source of truth and aliveness – our heart energy.
Listening to our hearts can feel very scary. But what’s the price of not doing it?
As Brene Brown said, “What’s worth doing even if I fail?” This is the question I leave you with, my Darkling’s.
In love and all it’s forms,
