The Leo Full Moon occurs on Tuesday, February 7, 2012 at 1:54pm PST/ 4:54pm EST/ 9:54pm GMT.
The full Moon brings to light what we planted at the new Moon. The new Moon in Aquarius highlighted our need for a new collective vision. Mars went retrograde hours later to begin the process of honing our personal story in relationship to these times of cultural change and transformation. The 60s are back - redux!
This full Moon between the Aquarius Sun and the Leo Moon brings out the best in us. Since the full Moon symbolizes the sacred marriage, the energies evoked this month are powerful. He's an Aquarian -- noble, truthful, controlled and rational. She's a Leo -- noble, self-aware, creative and intuitive. They both value nobility of spirit -- he because it's the right thing to do, she because it's innate to her nature. She's an Aquarian -- a humanitarian, a rebel and definitely a free spirit. He's a Leo -- self-confident, charismatic and proud. They both value their uniqueness, she because she values her freedom, he because he values his individuality. The Leo-Aquarius axis energizes us to develop our creativity and offer it to our collective future.
This marriage brings together our unique personality with our collective purpose. It is no longer relevant to create just for ourselves. There is this over-riding feeling that whatever we create must be beneficial to all humanity. We each have a piece of the collective puzzle, and as we move through these next years of social change and global transformation, each of us can contribute our piece to the picture. If we do this, we are sure to create a future world that benefits all of us.
The Sabian Symbol for the Sun at 19* Aquarius is: Amidst smoke and drizzle, jubilant fire fighters dig the final trench around a mountaintop blaze. It is up to us to mobilize all our faculties to bring destructive passions under control and then channel them into further human evolution. As we work with these elemental powers of life, we are doing the groundwork to manifest our vision of the future. It takes courage and fortitude to face the destructive fires ablaze in the world and create something new with them. This is the time to engage in alchemy.
The Sabian Symbol for the Moon at 19* Leo is: Revelers on a houseboat dance to the sounds of a swing band. It's time to have fun and engage in life. Just as we think we are headed to disaster, the fires are contained and we can rejoice. Dance to bring in new life, dance to understand the wisdom of life. There's no way we can escape the limits of life, but we can dance our vision as we listen to the rhythms of life. The cosmic rhythm is telling us to dance a new creation into being.
Mercury joins the Sun this full Moon, enhancing our ability to communicate (Mercury) our ideas to our group. We have to have a clear idea or vision before it can manifest. Group work helps.
With Jupiter in Taurus still working with Pluto in Capricorn, we will find opportunities to build and manifest our dreams. That is, if our dreams are sourced in Love and humanitarian principles. We are creating our brave new world as the old world dies its natural death.
Saturn goes retrograde hours after the full Moon at 30* Libra. Three mounds of knowledge on a philosopher's head. This is a symbol for understanding and wisdom. Saturn marks the boundaries of our reality; at this degree, we are urged to understand the universal truths that underlie justice and fairness. It's time to ponder how a responsible humanity must act for the benefit of all. Saturn will stay retrograde until June 25th. This is a time to decide how to handle karmic relationships - it's your choice whether to transform, end or begin one.
The year feels as if it is rushing ahead, and yet nothing seems to be proceeding. Take time to meditate and exercise, so you can be clear about what you intend to manifest in your life this year. Mars retrograde will help you do it.
Bright Blessings as we watch the Light grow!
