But first, let's talk about this Full Moon:
The Sun in Leo conjuncts Venus and Mars, so the Moon in Aquarius opposes this Stellium in Leo; this highlights the power of our individual creativity and the exponential potency of collaboration. Each of us is invited to reclaim ourselves, and add our voice, heart, and hands to something that has meaning for us.
Leo symbolizes the embodiment of heart-centered consciousness -- the expression of our own individual light, unique gifts, and inner spark of the divine -- while on the other hand,
Aquarius symbolizes the power of community and collaboration to bring about a common vision.
When we align our head with our heart, we feel our interconnectedness with all of humanity, and we create and connect from love instead of fear. Given that
Leo represents our individual self-expression and
Aquarius our vision for humankind, a
question is raised: How can we best achieve a balance between these two energies? Or perhaps even an integration?
For the next two weeks, we’ll be looking for answers to this question, as we become more aware that something is out of alignment.
Even the brightest of Full Moons has a
shadow side -- so let's take a look at the shadow of both signs involved in this Full Moon -- and please note that the shadow side of any sign is usually not as comfortable to look at or easy to embrace... As always with shadow aspects of ourselves, we need to beware of getting triggered and jumping to conclusions; we need to make sure we take time to respond rather than react.
Which is very apropos to the talk I gave last weekend at the
"Fresh Voices in Astrology Summit". This event featured 12 talks from 12 different astrologers -- and you can purchase an
All Access Pass and get recordings of each session, for roughly $10 per topic.

please email me, so I can send you the "React vs. Respond" handout I used in my talk.
Back to the shadow sides of this Full Moon -- let's start with
Leo's shadow side, since we currently have a Stellium in
Leo:
