It is here! The first full moon for 2024 emerges in the bold and fiery sign of Leo, connecting us to the powerful energies of the solar plexus chakra and infusing our hearts with warm-hearted vitality. As we bask in the golden hue of Leo's vibrant expression and Aquarius' intellectual prowess, we find ourselves navigating a complex interplay of energies that beckon us to explore the depths of our being. Get ready to feel the glow of self-expression, and creativity. Along with the potent task to address your shadow.
Leo's Solar Radiance:
Ruled by the sun, Leo stands as the king of the solar system, radiating warmth and vitality. This regal energy inspires us to embrace our leadership skills, feel confident with self-expression, find playfulness, and spontaneity again. As the moon reaches its fullest potential in the lion-hearted sign we are invited to step into our own radiance and embrace the power within. Remember who we are, what we want, and what makes us most happy.
Aquarius and the Mind-Heart Connection:
On January 20th the sun entered Aquarius; the element of air ushered a fresh desire to form communal bonds, find new or rekindle friendships, and cultivate community. When the moon enters Leo; the fiery heart-centered sign, there is an undeniable duality occuring. Leo energy is BOLD. We are called to pursue our passions, do what we want, when we want it. Live unapologetically loud and fearless. The interplay between these two energies may create a tug-of-war between the heart and mind, leaving us to find the balance between both. You may be feeling a little uncomfortable during this time, but it is not meant to be a negative thing. View it as an opportunity.
Self-Expression and Authenticity:
Right now there is a beacon for creative ideas to flourish. We are able to express ourselves authentically, with passion. This lunar phase encourages us to run with our artistic endeavors, have the heartfelt conversations you’ve been putting off, devise a plan and commit to it. However, word of caution here. Leo is commonly seen as a self-centered sign. Some self-centeredness is harmless, even good for us at times! Be proud of who you are. Stand tall and accept all the accolades. But, keep humility at the front of your mind. Do not let yourself tip too far on the side of needing external validation. The constant need for attention will put you in a low vibrational plane. If you find yourself feeling like you are better than, or you do not have the time to spare for someone that is needing support, check yourself and come back to a neutral state. It is important to be proud of our capabilities. Don’t forget, we are examples for those around us. Even if we don’t know it, we inspire those who relate, or wish to have some of our character traits and skills. Be the leader. Help others on their journey.
Illuminating the Shadow Side:
Your shadow side is ready to make an appearance. All the subconscious fears you have. What you’ve hidden away will break through and force you to acknowledge it. The key is not to resist it, but to witness, welcome and learn from the experience. Show yourself love, identify what parts of you are causing pain in your day to day life. Once you know what part of you needs to heal, you have the high vibrations of this complex energy by your side that will remind you how strong you are.
Transmuting and embracing Leo’s fiery influence:
Change and shadow work can cause emotional volatility. There are many exercises, rituals, meditations available to aid in processing the thoughts, feelings, and realizations you may experience. You are not alone. Seek help! Find support in friends, family, or community because you are encouraged to open your heart at this time. Focus on healing, release what doesn't serve, and embrace forgiveness and find acceptance. Explore what gives life meaning and what makes you feel confident and successful. Welcome your subconscious expression, recognize that you are responsible for your own emotions. Use this time to create a process for emotional regulation without purging. This will pave the way to a more enlightened self. This is an important call out, especially to our newly awakened starseeds. Do the work, the blessings are limitless. Your frequency is needed.
Ley Lines Closing Thoughts:
