Leo Full Moon 1/2/26
The Full Moon perfects at 13° of Leo on February 1, 2026 at 5:09 pm ET.
This Full Moon illuminates your personal power, self-expression, and emotional authenticity but not without tensions tugging at some crucial things you need to face.
There's a lot at stake when you choose not to be honest with others about your truth: denying or hiding parts of yourself is disempowering. But, having said that, this is a survival strategy for many of us whose perspectives, lived experiences, and identities have historically been (and continue to be) under attack.
There is tension with this lunation between showing up boldly for what you believe in, for who you are, and going along for self-preservation or self-interest.
This tension is demanding attention right now.
This is mirrored by the Moon's opposition to Mars, Venus, Mercury, and Pluto who are all in Aquarius. Simply put, you are being asked to show up for yourself and the wider community in a way that doesn't negate one over the other.
What's more, the Moon in Leo's near-trine to Royal Star Sateves adds a deep alchemical undercurrent to the current energy bringing massive potential for transformation through shadow work. But also, there is a risk to cling to grudges, obsess, or resist in letting go of something you have little control over.
There's a lot here with this Full Moon that's activating the courageous part of you to wake up. We are amidst massive energy shifts as Neptune just entered Aries (Jan 26) for the next 13 years. And Saturn will be joining it soon on Feb 13.
I have created the guide below to help you navigate these energies consciously. My intention is that is supports clarity, decision-making, and self-discovery over the two weeks following the lunation.
Questions to Reflect On
Where am I craving recognition, expression, or validation right now? And what is that need pointing me toward? (Not to judge it, just to understand it.)
What emotional reaction or tension has surfaced recently that feels worth paying attention to rather than pushing away? (What might it be trying to show me?)
If I didn’t need to resolve anything immediately, what truth about myself could I simply acknowledge right now?
May these questions help you move through this Full Moon’s energy with intention and clarity. If you’d like to access the 2-week Guide and your Rising Sign messages for deeper guidance, you can join us in the Cosmic Sanctuary membership.
with care,
