Natural Paradox
As part of the human condition, we often find ourselves pulled in opposite directions. A Full Moon illuminates this paradox since the Sun and the Moon oppose each other. In this case, the midwinter Aquarian Sun stands in contrast to the fiery Leo Moon.
Radiate Friendship
Seasonally, Aquarius conjures images of crystalline snow sparkling against indigo skies. Internally, it signifies a clear untrammeled mind with a focus on progressive humanitarianism and brilliant innovation. Meanwhile, like a bonfire, Leo commands attention by radiating warmth and generosity. Honoring both means balancing the personal with the abstract. We do this through our deepest friendships, which model how to treat each other as a society. Genuinely uplifting others requires staying connected to our own hearts. Rather than feeling diminished, when individual light shines as a beacon for humanity, it enhances abundance and joy for all.
In Society
In addition, the Full Moon shows the results of whatever started at the New Moons on January 13th and August 18th, 2020. Since then, on the political stage, the U.S. inaugurated President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. Interestingly, Harris accepted the position as running mate near the August New Moon.
Furthermore, with Mercury turning retrograde Friday, we may experience February as a time of backtracking on big ideas to focus on implementation. That’s not to say visioning should take a back seat, but rather that we need creative practical solutions to staunch the flow of suffering. Do not underestimate the power of love to help with healing.
Find and Transmit Joy
On a personal level, consider what you started on January 13th to answer the clear call for accountability and transformation. Also consider any success in finding moments of playfulness and generosity despite the heaviness of the times in the past six months. Go for a moonlit ski, play silly group games virtually, or make something beautiful or delicious. Most importantly, immerse yourself in something you find deeply joyful. Using your Rising Sign (or if you don’t know it, your Sun Sign), read below to see where to find and transmit joy in your own life.
