- Full Moon in Leo (1/25/24) -

The Full Moon in Leo is such a potent time for self-expression, creativity, and really letting your inner light shine! I always feel a surge of energy during this period, and I've found that channeling it into specific practices can be incredibly rewarding. If you're looking for ways to truly connect with this powerful lunar event, here are some personal go-to's that have helped me. First off, I absolutely adore embracing the artistic side of the Leo Full Moon. The energy of Leo is all about performance, creativity, and being seen, so it’s the perfect time to engage in some art therapy. I often find myself sketching or painting, drawing inspiration from the glowing full moon outline itself, or even imagining a majestic Leo lion's head as a symbol of inner strength. You don't need to be an expert artist; it's more about the process of expression. I love making a moon-themed collage, using vibrant colors like the purple and blue of a night sky, reflecting the kind of artistic illustration that captures the moon's magic. This practice helps me connect with my inner child and simply have fun, allowing that creative joy to flow freely. Another incredibly insightful practice I've adopted for strong lunar phases, especially the Leo Full Moon, is working with a mirror tarot spread. This isn't just any regular reading; it's designed for deep self-reflection and seeing yourself more clearly. I typically lay out cards in a way that creates a mirror image, focusing on questions that encourage honest introspection. For this Leo Full Moon, I used questions like: "What is my FUEL – what truly ignites my passion?", "What is my MAGICAL PEAK – where do I shine brightest?", and "What needs PURGING – what limiting beliefs or fears are holding back my authenticity?". This spread has been phenomenal for exploring my power, challenging limiting beliefs, and understanding my true resolve and creativity. It’s like having a soulful conversation with your higher self, guided by the cards. Beyond these, I also make sure to engage in rituals for cleansing energies. The full moon is a perfect time to release what no longer serves you. This could be as simple as writing down what you want to let go of and safely burning the paper, or a cleansing bath infused with salts and essential oils. It’s all about creating space for the new and embracing change with an open heart. I also love to spend some time under the moonlight, simply meditating and setting clear intentions for what I want to manifest, letting the powerful Leo energy amplify my desires. These practices have truly transformed my experience of the Full Moon in Leo, making it a time of profound growth and self-discovery. I encourage you to try one or all of them, adapting them to what feels right for you. It's about honoring your unique spirit and letting your light shine through!
