Full Moon in Leo: The Turning Point between Eclipse Seasons
Moon opposite Sun – 2/16/22 @
10:56am CST
Less than a week after this
Quickening Moon cycle began, Mercury stationed direct. With all planets direct for over a week now,
the true feeling of ‘quickening’ has taken hold and some amount of forward
progress is already underway. This
direct motion continues for a while, until Pluto stations retrograde on April
29th.
So now that we have reached
the Full Quickening Moon, we arrive at the culmination of what was seeded in
the dark of the New Moon (Jan. 31st). Moon square her nodal axis signifies that we
have come to an emotional turning point that is highly charged…and critical
issues are calling us to action. Where the lunar nodes are shows where the
eclipses will be, and we are currently in between eclipse seasons while the
luminaries square the nodes. Because the North Lunar Node in Taurus is conjunct
both Sedna and the fixed star Algol, many of the significations of November’s
Lunar Eclipse (Eclipse of the Scapegoat) will also be present now and calling
for action.
The feeling of the Full Moon
in the fixed fire of Leo is passionate and demonstrative. The inclination is to just be who you are and
feel what you feel. This Full Moon is also
conjunct Regulus, the heart of the Lion, a fixed star that reminds us of the
importance of listening to, trusting, and taking action on our
heart-knowing. What is your heart
directing you to do or be, that furthers your ability to love who you are?

Just a couple hours before
this Full Moon culmination, Mars met up with Venus in Capricorn for the 1st
of 2 conjunctions this year. This is a
rare occurrence that Mars, moving a bit quicker than Venus at the moment, ‘overtakes’
Venus through conjunction. Venus-Mars
conjunctions can incline a lot of passionate energy anyway, but with Mars exalted
in Capricorn being much more powerful right now…the impetus to take action may be
more forceful than graceful at this time.
Remember to act on what will establish a solid foundation for future growth,
not just on what incites a powerful emotional response.
As mentioned, emotions will be
on high as the luminaries square the nodes, especially in global affairs. Moon’s nodes are in Taurus and Scorpio, signs
traditionally ruled by Venus and Mars…so the conjunction is overseeing the
collective soul challenge for this next year and a half, and the luminaries
illuminate the more immediate changes that are needed.
Some Key Words for each axis:
The Nodal Journey
(Taurus/Scorpio, 1/18/22 – 7/17/23)-
integrating soul lessons of life/death, growth/transformation, simplicity/complexity,
pleasure/pain
Full Moon turning points
(Leo/Aquarius)- actions involving leadership/collaboration, self-expression/humanitarianism,
heart/mind, feeling/logic
Each of these fixed signs have
a home in the houses of your natal chart, which will show you in what areas of
life these transiting energies have the most influence. Look to your chart to see where Taurus, Leo,
Scorpio, and Aquarius are. If you have
any planets or angles in these signs, they will also color your experience of
this Full Moon.
Love and Gratitude,
