Leo Full Moon Feb 3 2015 - Breaking the chains that bind my heart!

Once again we have reached peak emotional illumination for the monthly lunar cycle. This time in the heartfelt sign of Leo. Check your chart to see what house your Leo energy is in. This will tell you where the full illumination is occurring. (For example: house 4,10, 11, 7 -Home, work, friends, partners, etc.) In general though this full moon is going to help us understand what our heart is calling for right now as strong passionate feelings have most likely been increasing the last several days or weeks and now reach full breaking point. Nothing is going to hold us back from joy, even if it's only for a few days. Revolting to find more personal happiness is a strong theme with this energy climaxing. The Leo full moon is conjunct Jupiter and trine Uranus so is going to feel extra powerful and perhaps help us break free from those chains that we perceive binding our heart from true creative expression. Uranus is like lightning so in this case can be like receiving an emotional lightning strike that boost self confidence; faith in self and enthusiasm for new future dreams and ideas that we feel pulled to right now regardless of any setbacks that might be manifesting at this time. Full moons help us understand what is out of balance in our life between the main focus of the sun which is highlighting group concerns, friends, and future hopes and dreams on one end, and our own emotional joy, well being and sense of creativity on the other end, This full moon might make it easy to jump to the side of self and rebel against anything or anyone trying to hold us back from truly living from our heart. Are you giving too much to the group and not enough for yourself? ..or too much for self leaving others out in the cold? It's always best to find a happy balance with that so look at the source of the tension around you right now and ask yourself what side needs a little more energy over the other.

This full moon is symbolic of people becoming more conscious and authentic in self expression and self confidence with our creative ideas, having faith in the bigger picture and not succumbing to negativity being projected around us. It will be easy to over look real issues and only see what we want to see so just make sure you don't set yourself up for any disillusionment later. This will be an extra wild full moon bringing out a little more crazy in all of us. Anytime Uranus and Leo are connected you can expect the unexpected with moments of flamboyant radical self expressions. This is great recreation and party energy. Most people are needing to make more room for recreation and joy after all the recent hardwork that's been done. Whatever is out of balance for you should become obvious with this full moon. Creative urges are strong so use them to advance not only your own creative agendas but also advancing yourself within the group context as well, contributing more from your heart to the greater cause, letting people see you on a soul level. If you refuse to break the chains around you that keep you from living with more joy, passion and confidence, sharing your authentic light with everyone then life will feel extra hard for you right now as the universe will create situations that will help break you out of your rut. Leo is about love. Ask yourself what it is you love, then ask yourself what it is you love about yourself the most. Honoring that and expressing it will help to relieve any tension that is peaking in your life right now. Full moons are a time to let go of something that is keeping you off balance. What is it? The next two weeks the energy is waning so use this full moon to let yourself scream loud, sing, dance, play, or whatever it is that helps you feel free of all the craziness. Shake it out of your body, mind and soul. it's a full moon, after all.

We have courage on our side with this one - take advantage of it and break yourself free!
Happy full moon.
