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. 

Things to Do:

Leo = fun. For you to tap into the full spectrum of Leo’s energy, you need to let your guard down. Naturally, Leo is associated with the heart chakra. It may be helpful to give back or spend time with someone you love. Also, arts & crafts, going to see a play, watching a movie, playing your favorite sport, or going out on the town are simple ways to enjoy the Leo Full Moon.

Cancer: The Full Moon in Leo may bring you unexpected news or results. You are most likely sharing the results of an idea or project that you’ve been contemplating for a while. However, before you launch something impulsively, make sure this project is what you want to be doing. A passive income stream or project can get a lot of attention now, but it has to be for the right reasons. You may try to do too many things at once, and as a result nothing is getting done. Although your idea is creative and has the potential to succeed, you may not have all the details you need right now to make an important decision. Wait it out before doing something rash.

Leo: This is an excellent time for you to share your gifts and something special you’ve been working on. A new business or money opportunity is coming your way. Be sure to do your homework so that you can be in a position of advantage. For many, a cycle of self-doubt, resentment, and competition is ending for you. More and more, you are learning that love and confirmation start within. As you continue to unfold and navigate this new environment, be gentle and check in with your heart before you choose a direction. You are your biggest supporter.

For the next two weeks, it may be helpful to explore possible scenarios of how you want to spend your time and who you want to spend it with. Be brutally honest about what needs to stay and what needs to go. The more you can detach from unhealthy paradigms, the more exciting your new life will be.

For some, this energy may encourage you to check in with and explore your inner child. It may be helpful to practice mindless carefree activities like coloring, dancing, or playing youthful board games.

Scorpio: The Full Moon highlights your area of self-mastery and passion for your craft. For those of you who are committing more time to a passion project or passive income stream, this energy favors your success and supports your initiatives. Although you may be starting in a new field or venture, the past time spent perfecting your skills is finally paying off. It may be helpful to connect with your mentor or spiritual advisor for in-depth training and review.

Aquarius: The Full Moon in Leo may leave you feeling stuck or confused about a relationship. You may feel like to have one thing, you have to get rid of another, and for you, the trade-off is no longer worth it. Instead of playing mind games and being deceptive, you would rather just keep things light and straightforward. This decision makes space for authentic love and friendships to find you.
