full moon in leo ... info & ritual

The moon began her current cycle in Aquarius, the fixed air sign. Today she reached her peak in Leo, the fixed fire sign. Though these signs are opposite on the zodiac wheel, the ‘fixed’ nature of each sign provides a common theme between them. Fixed signs are the zodiac energy that provides a stable foundation while invigorating us to take action to improve ourselves and our world.

Leo is ruled by the Sun, master of our identity and sense of individuality and truest self. During a full moon, the moon is positioned opposite the sun and reflects him to the max, transmuting it’s fiery power into a beacon of emotional rejuvenation.

Tonight’s full moon will affect the collective in two ways…

• courageous vibes can stoke conflict as people are less emotionally inhibited and more likely to express their strongest feelings. it’s important to remember that not everyone agrees on everything. your power is best used to improve and appreciate your own ferocity without practicing on other people.
• Leo can be a very competitive sign, especially when it comes to maintaining “order”. people may be inclined to step outside their manners to show off what they got, and it’s important to soothe feelings of envy or disdain that come from competition. you are perfect as you are, and you can show it off just as hard as anyone else.
• people are gonna want attention. you can indulge this if you want, but make sure you indulge yourself as well! you deserve just as much adoration as anyone else, and you know it.

HOW TO TAKE ADVANTAGE:

• consider your own insecurities and the areas where you lack confidence. are there specific issues you have with yourself that you can’t seem to get past? Leo has no problem sending self-doubt straight to hell, and tonight the moon is ready to give you that same power. revel in your strengths and let your weaknesses burn away.
• how do you deserve to be celebrated? if you’re feeling like you deserve more recognition than you’ve gotten, it’s time to reclaim the appreciation you’ve earned. even if you don’t have time or energy for a full on ritual, be sure to write down the accomplishments you’re proud of and send them to the moon for her approval. soon you will notice the respect and attention you’re attracting. don’t forget to congratulate yourself for them as well!
