Full Moon in Leo: February 2020
/On February 9, 2020, at 2:33 AM EST the Full Moon will reach its peak at 20°00 Leo. This Full Moon is connected to the New Moon in Aquarius that occurred on January 24/25. Full Moon periods typically last two-weeks. However, this energy will continue to play out until the corresponding New Moon in Leo on August 18, 2020.
Full Moons occur when the Moon is opposite (6 degrees apart) from the Sun. In this case, the Moon in Leo is opposing the Sun in Aquarius. Typically, Full Moons symbolize celebration, chaos, fulfillment, and spontaneity; something is coming into the light.
With the Moon full in Leo, we are exploring the fixed element of Fire. In its light, Leo energy is creative, joyful, entertaining, passionate, and warm. In its shadow, Leo energy is boastful, stubborn, egotistical, dramatic, and self-centered.
Full Moon trine Mars in Sagittarius
The Full Moon in Leo is trine Mars in Sagittarius. In astrology, trines represent harmonious energy; it doesn’t require much effort, it just naturally flows. With the Full Moon trine Mars, we are more assertive and optimistic in achieving our goals. For some, this is a time of spontaneity, travel, risk, and performance. Artists, performers, musicians, comedians, entertainers, public speakers, educators, anyone who needs to perform in front of an audience will find this energy inspiring and competitive.
There may be delays for public shows, festivals, and concerts. With The Full Moon opposite the Sun in Aquarius and Mercury almost retrograde in Pisces, we may have problems with technology and social media.
Sexually, this energy favors intimacy. With both Leo and Sagittarius being fire signs, we could be feeling some intense passion from February 4 - 19.
Venus in Aries conjunct Lillith and Chiron in Aries
Venus, the planet of relationships, money, and beauty will be visiting independent Aries until March 4. Venus will be conjunct Chiron, the planet of transcendence and soul healing from Feb 9 - Feb 10. When two planets are conjunct, they are in the same sign at the same degree. Conjunctions also symbolize new beginnings, fertility, oneness, and intention.
When Venus is conjunct Chiron in Aries, our relationships are in a process of healing and regeneration. For some, this energy encourages us to start new relationships. For others, we could be completing a process of self-healing or mastery. In any case, Venus and Chiron conjunctions represent new skin, rawness, and what comes after the rainbow.
Lilith, also known as the black moon and goddess represents the divine feminine, liberation, and the unifying power of grace and unconditional love that lives within. Lilith in Aries is confident, assertive, pioneering, independent, fearless, and carefree. She encourages us to be original and bold. Never be afraid to ask for what we want.
When Venus and Lilith are aligned/conjunct in Aries, our relationship to our higher self, work, relationships, and overall physical beauty rises. We become more aware of our best features and attributes. We will notice a strong increase in women-owned businesses and initiatives.
With Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto in Capricorn, we may see a rise of women in real estate, politics, and finance.
This energy is intensified from February 16 - March 20, 2020 when Chiron and Lillith are conjunct in Aries.
