The Full Moon is an emotional time of romance, fertilization, and relationships. The Leo-Aquarius polarity deals with the balance between all that is personal Leo and all that is impersonal Aquarius. The energy of the Leo Moon is creative self-expression and the boost to the individual ego that we receive through pleasure and romance, while the Aquarius Sun rules the group, more impersonal friendships, and objectivity. This Full Moon urges us to strike a balance between romance and friendship, and between expressing ourselves in personal and impersonal ways.
The Leo Moon is proud discontent with simply being just one of the team. The Aquarius Sun, while individualistic as well, values independence and the team. Aquarian energy understands the power of the collective, while the Leo understands their individual power but fear the vulnerability needed to really allow the collective in and further their motives. Leo energy is hyper-independent to a fault and during Aquarius season we are led to ask for help where we need it although we must remember to detach from the results. This Full Moon illuminates this conflict.
It’s time to express ourselves, and to let things out of our systems. Of course with caution, intention, and care as we aren't looking to hurt anyone w we love while doing so. Another important facet of this moon is the responsible use of power. There is responsible power in expressing your grievances with grace and respect no matter how angry or hurt you may be. Using power responsibly is a life-long challenge that requires great strength to accomplish. Temptations to abuse power are rampant, just look at the world around us.
The Leo assumption is that there are two distinct groups of people leaders and followers. Followers do not want the responsibility of leading others, nor do they have the strength of being to accomplish the goat of pursuing responsible leadership in the face of the many temptations along the way. The Aquarius view is that each individual has the capacity to ascend to a level of consciousness where the responsible use of power is simply business as usual. There can be no possible mob, or mob thinking, if each member of the group achieves a state of self-actualization. If each person understands their own purpose, passion, and power and works with others to expand, strengthen, and innovate on that for the good of all then there is. Ni need for anyone to feel inferior or superior. No need for leaders, or followers. Simply individuals working as a collective. With compassion and self awareness, no outside leadership would be required. Think about where you need to balance the power struggle of leading vs following; contributing vs inventing, and delegating vs demonstrating. Ask yourself how you can become more open to the process and detach from the outcome so you can manifest the support you need.
It is important to let go of toxic relationships they will be illuminated under this influence. Emotional manipulation gaslighting narcissistic tendencies fear of taking risks, toxic isolation, ego death, karmic closure are thing to clean up and cut off before we move back into retrograde and eclipse season in April.

Burn & Release: This is the time to purge and release any last road blocks, habits, or self sabotaging hang-ups. While fire can be painful and bring grief and loss; it also is purifying and creates space we may not even know we needed. We are retrograde free, it is still closure season, and we are pushing through the last of the darkness. What do you want to leave behind here as ash when you emerge from the darkness of the burnt debris? What are you letting go or parting ways with even if it is painful?
Write it all down, take a deep breath, put the paper in a fire safe dish and let it burn until nothing but grey ash remains, then flush those ashes right down the toilet and kiss it all goodbye.
