Tonight, we have a fiery Full Moon in the lionhearted sign
of Leo. It is a fabulous influence, once we get past the overwhelming largesse of the whole thing. The Moon is conjunct the grand expander
planet Jupiter, also in Leo, granting Luna emotional superpowers this week.
Loving Leo is ruled by the heart. You may feel both the pain
and the beauty of Big Love at this time. Most of us will feel the urge to
self-express. Our hearts will be stretched wider, our emotions will range from
tears to laughter to overwhelming joy to pure “Wow! I’m alive!” This is exhilarating
stuff. Our need to share the love will move us, no doubt, to great
outpourings. Direct it to those who can receive, receive, receive your gifts.
Beware the Naysayers
There is an important caveat to all this grand heart opening – and that
is, “Beware the Naysayers.”
There is a karmic yod happening during this Full Moon, so some discomfort is unavoidable as we expand. A yod is formed when three planets form an isosceles triangle. This yod occurs between Pluto in Capricorn, the Full Moon in Leo, and Mars/Chiron conjunct in Pisces. A yod brings the need for major adjustments that are evolutionary in scope. We can expect deep, transformational (Pluto) healing activity during this Moon that may bring up past hurts with a potential sting (Mars/Chiron in Pisces). In other words, we are very likely to get challenged for our self-expression (Leo Moon).

It is easy for an astrologer to say during a Full Moon in
Leo to say “Go big! Shine bright!” Yes, but we have to protect our hearts, because
there are the naysayers who will always feel the need to correct you. This is subtle
undermining. Remember the phrase: “Those who can, do; those who can’t, teach.” If
you find yourself tempted to get teacherly or preachy, giving unsolicited
feedback, make sure you’re not alienating those who may just simply benefit
from old-fashioned acceptance and love. And shield yourself from anyone else who tries pulling that buzzkill business on you.
We still have Mercury
in Retrograde until February 11, the fly in the ointment causing
communication snafus. Perhaps you’ve noticed the old “foot in mouth” syndrome has
been popping up, or perhaps you’re having a hard time thinking clearly. Mercury
in retrograde can result in more misunderstandings than usual. Do your best to
be quick-footed around sticky situations. Instead of reacting to create more of
a landslide of arguments or hurt feelings, try being flexible.
Mercury is in Aquarius, a fixed air sign. While
brilliant in flashes of insight, this energy can be stubborn. Aquarius can lean toward
objectivity so much it forgets that feelings may be involved. People
aren’t computers and even if you think you’re just being “right,” “clear,” or “correcting,”
it can come across as insensitive or overbearing. Be especially cautious about the
emails you press the Send button on. Read them over carefully first. There is a real human being on the other side.
With the Sun transiting in Aquarius at this Leo lunation,
the personal freedom to self-express is crucial, and it should be for the good
of the whole. The bigger your light, the bigger the chance you’ll be criticized,
the more flack you are likely to receive. Don’t
pay any attention to it. If you’ve done your inner work, you’re connected
to heart and soul. Your intention is pure, so soldier on. Keep expressing in
your own unique, offbeat and upbeat fashion.
Shine on, superstar. The love light of this Full Moon is gorgeous. Just like you.

So THAT's what's going on! ,....;-)
