Leo Full Moon- Embrace YOU!

LEO FULL MOON 13TH FEB 12.53AM-

I absolutely love a Leo Full Moon—how could I not? With my own Moon in Leo, I’ve spent a great deal of time understanding how this fiery energy operates within the watery realm of emotions. The Moon represents our emotional world, while Leo is often associated with the ego. This combination can create an emotional need for validation, but the real lesson of the Leo Moon is that the most important approval comes from within.

This particular Full Moon is infused with a strong Aquarian influence, with the Sun, Mercury, and Ceres all positioned in Aquarius, directly opposing the Moon. Adding to the intensity, Uranus forms a challenging square, stirring up unpredictability and emotional highs and lows. You may feel pulled in different directions, struggling to embrace your individuality, but at its core, this lunation is asking us to celebrate ourselves fully and unapologetically.

OK Back to the LEO FULL MOON

The Full Moon in Leo occurs in Australia on the 13th of February at 12. 53am at 24 degrees of Leo. See where this falls in your chart to determine which sphere of life is going to be most affected. Being in a fixed sign, see where you have planets in Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarians as these signs will feel the impact of this Full Moon the greatest.

No matter what your sign a Leo Full Moon is an invitation to step fully into the spotlight of your own life. Leo energy asks us to shine unapologetically, to own our unique brilliance, and to lead with heart. This Full Moon is a powerful time to embrace self-love, creative expression, and personal sovereignty. However, with Uranus in Taurus squaring this Full Moon, the universe is also throwing in a bit of chaos—unexpected shifts, breakthroughs, and a push toward authenticity that might feel disruptive but is ultimately liberating.

This Full Moon is urging us to release anything that stifles our ability to love ourself and express our truth. It is a time to shed self-doubt, people-pleasing tendencies, and fears around being fully seen. You are being called to put on your proverbial crown, claim your throne, and embody the regal, radiant being that you are. The question is: Are you ready?

Uranus, the planet of rebellion, sudden change, and awakening, forms a tense square with this Full Moon, ensuring that stagnation is not an option. If there are areas in your life where you have been playing small or conforming to outdated expectations, this aspect will likely bring revelations and shake-ups designed to set you free. This Full Moon asks us to question –

Where we might be  holding back from expressing our authentic self? What unexpected changes have arisen recently, and how might they be guiding us toward greater self-expression and what might we need to rebel against in order to find our true voice?

The energy of Uranus reminds us that true self-expression requires breaking free from societal conditioning and self-imposed limitations. Sometimes, stepping into our power means disrupting the status quo—both externally and within yourself.

Leo rules the heart, making this Full Moon a beautiful time to tune into what truly lights you up. Are we expressing our heart’s desires fully? Are we honouring the things that bring us joy, passion, and fulfillment?

Spend some time during this Full Moon to consider how much fun we have been having lately and where we might be able to invite more pleasure into our lives? When was the last time you did something purely for the joy of it?

So many of us deny ourselves pleasure, fun, and creative expression out of guilt, fear, or the belief that it is unimportant. This Full Moon reminds us that joy is not frivolous—it is fuel for the soul. Make time to celebrate yourself, whether through art, music, dance, or simply laughing wholeheartedly.

Leo’s energy is often associated with the ego, but ego itself is not the problem—it's how we use it. A healthy ego empowers us to express ourselves, set boundaries, and pursue our passions. An unhealthy ego, however, seeks constant validation, leading us to perform for approval rather than embody our truth. We can take a moment to reflect on how we seek external validation at the expense of our true selves and where we might be hiding aspects of ourselves for fear of judgment?

This is a potent time to release ego wounds—especially those that cause us to either dim our light or overcompensate by seeking attention in inauthentic ways. True confidence is rooted in self-love, not in the need to be seen in a particular way. Chiron, the wounded healer, forms a harmonious aspect to the Full Moon, offering an opportunity for heart-centered healing—both personal and collective. If there are wounds around love, self-worth, or feeling unseen, this is a moment to acknowledge and begin to heal them.

Healthy Leo energy is generous, loving, and fiercely loyal. This Full Moon offers a chance to express appreciation for your tribe, to recognise the people who uplift and support us, and to reflect on how we show up for others. This is the time to express our love freely—whether through words, gestures, or simply showing up. This is also a great time to shower your Leo friends with compliments (they’ll love you for it!).

With the Sun in Aquarius opposing this Full Moon, we are also being asked to find the balance between individuality and community. Aquarius energy reminds us of the importance of the collective, while Leo teaches us to embrace our personal essence. Leo thrives in self-expression, while Aquarius values inclusiveness. This Full Moon highlights the tension between the self and the group, between personal leadership and collective progress. It invites us to stand fully in our truth while also considering how we contribute to the greater whole.

This Full Moon in Leo invites us to align with our heart, express ourself unapologetically, and step into our power. It asks us to recognise our unique gifts and share them with the world—not from a place of seeking validation but from the joy of simply being who we are.

And with Uranus in the mix, expect surprises. Embrace change. Allow yourself to break free from anything that limits your radiance.

So, what will you release under this Full Moon? And more importantly—how will you shine?

To discover how to shine in your most embodied, empowered, and authentic true essence, consider exploring your natal astrology with me.

Together, we will explore where and how in life you need to shine your light, what challenges might be holding you back, what gifts and tools you have at your disposal and how to step into being unapologetically YOU

AQUARIUS NEW MOON

The New Moon in Aquarius occurs on January 29th at 9:26 PM AEDT,  and sits at 9 degrees of Aquarius, ushering in a profound and deep opportunity for fresh starts and inner transformation due to the wide but significant alignment with Pluto in Aquarius . The Aquarius New Moon is always a time to shake things up a bit, an invitiion to embrace thinking differently and to honour those whom think different to us. The New Moon offers some depth from Pluto and expansion from Jupiter to explore deeper truths, and connect with our most authentic parts of our selves and others.

Being a fixed sign,  Taurus, Leo and Scorpio, as well of Aquarius of course, are likely to feel this one strongly, so explore where 9 degrees of Aquarius lands in your chart to see which house is being activated This will tell you the themes of life that are ripe for intention setting and growth.

Aquarius is the visionary, the innovator, the change-maker, the rebel and the humanitarian. Its energy is electric and eclectic, forward-thinking, and unafraid to question the status quo. This New Moon encourages us to break free from limiting beliefs and patterns, especially in how we think and connect with others. As we see more and more division in the world, this New Moon is a reminder to open our minds and hearts to hearing what those who are different to us, might have to say, without judgement. More than ever, we need to listen and hear the various perspectives of others. This is a time to really explore some different and new insights and expand our thinking outside our echo chambers.

This New Moon offers us a little more depth than a traditional New Moon in Aquarius due to a wide but significant alignment with Pluto. So we are invited not only to expand our thinking and perspectives but to also dig deep and explore what might be hidden beneath the surface. We are invited to ask ourselves ,What thoughts or ideas have we buried that are ready to come to light?

With Pluto and Mercury in the mix we are  encouraged to dig deep into our minds, our thinking patterns and possibly uncover hidden insights. Old ideas, suppressed memories, or even buried desires could resurface now and if they do, this is the perfect time to sit with and reflect on how you would like to work with these new insights. We can also ask ourselves, What mental habits, beliefs, or thought patterns are holding us back and what new intention can we set to possibly rewrite the stories we tell ourselves? Set new mental intentions: Think of this as a cosmic reset button for your intellect.

This combination may also stir deep conversations or bring clarity to areas of life where you’ve felt stuck. Be open to revelations—they might not be comfortable, but they’ll be transformative.

As Aquarius rules friendships and particularly groups of people who share our interests this New Moon also shines a light on our social dynamics. Are we showing up as our most authentic selves in our relationships? Are our connections supportive of our growth and aligned with our actual values. Group dynamics that may not be serving us might surface now, so we can use this as an opportunity to realign or set future boundaries and set intentions for the kinds of connections and communities we want to cultivate moving forward.

One of the brightest aspects of this New Moon is its harmonious trine to Jupiter retrograde in Gemini. This energy feels expansive and full of possibility, even as it asks us to reflect and reassess. This is a time for brainstorming on expansive new ideas and to let ourself dream and explore new ideas, dive into learning, or revisit projects that light us up. This is a feel-good aspect, so lean into optimism and curiosity. We can ask ourselves What knowledge, skills or ideas do I want to expand and how can we align with technology or new tools to move our vision forward?

The traditional ruler of Aquarius, Saturn, is in a trine to Mars retrograde in Cancer, bringing some emotional discipline to this lunation. This grounding energy supports deep work on family dynamics, boundaries, and emotional healing. It’s not flashy, but it is a  productive time to think about what family patterns or emotional habits might need our attention and new intentions to move forward

Mars in Cancer also forms a sextile to Uranus ( the modern ruler of Aquarius)  retrograde in Taurus, offering a spark of innovation and spontaneity. This energy also supports taking practical steps toward creating stability in a new, inspired way. So we can think about what changes in our homes, security or routine for bring fresh energy, more freedom and insights?

And of course I am always here to help support you through any changes that may come to the surface now, just reach out or head to www.aspectastrology.com.au/book-online to make a time for a session. I would love to work with you.

Cancer Full Moon- Leading With the Heart

The First Full Moon of the Year: Leading with the heart

The first full moon of the year is always one of my favourites. This is when the Moon returns to her home sign of Cancer, where the themes of nurturing—especially self-nurturing—are profoundly resonant. With Mars in Cancer retrograde sitting alongside the Moon, this full moon invites us into a beautiful space of internal reflection and emotional processing.

In my own reflection, I’ve made a significant decision this year: I will no longer be creating my Full Moon Workbooks. While they’ve been a labour of love, the amount of work involved, combined with my increasingly busy astrology practice, has made it clear that it’s time to shift my focus.

I’m thrilled to be devoting more energy to some exciting new offerings within my practice: Astro Branding and Author Mentoring—with astrology as the guiding backdrop. You can learn more about these services on my website www.aspectastrology.com

Instead of the Full Moon Workbook, I’ll be periodically releasing other resources to help navigate some of the major astrological shifts this year. Stay tuned—these are designed to guide and support you through transformative times.

As we approach this Cancer Full Moon, I encourage you to take a moment to pause, nurture yourself, and reflect. How will you honour this energy? What will you do to create space for your own self-care and emotional renewal?

The first full moon of 2025 graces us in the emotionally resonant sign of Cancer, illuminating the night sky on January 14h at 9.27am at 23 degrees. So look to see where Cancer at 23 degrees falls in your chart to see what area of  life will be illuminated now.

This Full Moon invites us to reconnect with our inner world and nurture ourselves deeply. Its energy encourages reflection, emotional clarity, and healing, particularly as the Moon conjuncts Mars retrograde in Cancer, sextiles Uranus in Taurus, and forms harmonious trines with Neptune and the newly arrived North Node in Pisces. In a year when so many planets change into Air and Fire signs, this is a special watery moment for reflection and renewal.

Adding to the depth, Saturn, the ruler of the Sun currently in Capricorn, is in Pisces alongside Venus in Pisces and places emphasis on the balance between responsibility and emotional fulfillment. Together, these alignments create a cosmic tapestry that calls us to align our outer ambitions with the sanctity of our inner lives.

Cancer, ruled by the Moon, embodies unconditional love, emotional intuition, and the archetype of nurturing. Its counterpart, Capricorn, ruled by Saturn, prioritises achievement, discipline, and responsibility. This full moon emphasises the Cancer-Capricorn axis, challenging us to reconcile our need for emotional security and nurturing with the demands of our external obligations.

With the Sun in Capricorn urging us to plan and prioritise, the Cancer Moon reminds us not to neglect our hearts in favour of external duties. This lunar phase invites us to reflect on the balance between our inner and outer worlds. Are we allowing our emotions the space they need, or are they buried beneath a mountain of tasks and expectations?

The Moon’s conjunction with Mars retrograde in Cancer can stir up deep, unresolved emotions. Mars, the planet of action, in retrograde asks us to reflect rather than react, giving us the opportunity to process past emotional wounds.

The sextile to Uranus in Taurus offers us an opportunity for innovation, shaking us from stagnation and offering intuitive insights into how we can change old patterns. This aspect encourages us to experiment with new ways of nurturing ourselves and managing emotional challenges, especially those tied to family and home.

The Moon’s trine with Neptune and the newly arrived North Node in Pisces adds a layer of spiritual healing and soul alignment. This aspect enhances our ability to tap into compassion, creativity, and the wisdom of the heart. It’s a potent time for forgiving others and ourselves, especially in matters related to family and ancestral ties.

Pisces energy, emphasised by Saturn’s conjunction with Venus, asks us to consider the deeper, soulful connections that inform our relationships. Venus in Pisces imbues this full moon with a sense of divine love and beauty, urging us to create spaces—both internal and external—that feel sacred and aligned with our true essence.

This full moon is a time to embrace the nurturing qualities of Cancer. Sit with your emotions, reflect on the past, and allow yourself to feel deeply. Unresolved family dynamics, particularly those tied to maternal or paternal archetypes, may rise to the surface for healing.

During this full moon we are invited to sit with the following questions:

How are we nurturing ourself and others?

Are there emotional wounds we need to release?

Does my home support our need for sanctuary and rejuvenation?

Writing down these reflections and releasing them through water—a ritual aligned with Cancer’s element—can be profoundly cathartic. Whether you burn the paper and release the ashes into a stream or submerge it in water, let the act symbolise the cleansing and renewal of your emotional state.

Cancer rules the home, urging us to consider how our physical and emotional environments support our well-being. Decluttering, rearranging furniture, or creating a small sacred space for meditation and reflection can rejuvenate the energy of your home. With Uranus’s influence we can tap into inspiration for creative ways to transform our space into a sanctuary.

With Neptune and the North Node in Pisces, this is a perfect time for meditation and introspection. Quiet moments can yield profound insights about family dynamics, self-nurturing practices, or releasing old wounds. We can use this time to visualise the moon’s light bathing us in healing energy, illuminating the path forward with compassion and clarity.

This Cancer full moon is a sacred reminder to check in with our hearts, nurture our emotional selves, and release anything that no longer serves us. As we honour our inner lives, we find the strength to meet our outer responsibilities with greater resilience and authenticity.

Under the nurturing light of the Moon, allow yourself to feel, heal, and grow. This moment is not only about releasing the past but also about embracing the changes that guide us toward a more aligned, heart-centered life for the year ahead.

Happy Cancer Full Moon

Love, Dijana x
