Full Moon
Full Moon in Leo
A Full Moon in Leo is when the Moon in Leo opposes the Sun in Aquarius, bringing the tension between your own light and the wider group to a head.
Modern
The Full Moon is the bright, culminating point of the cycle, when something that has been building comes to light. In Leo, opposite the Sun in Aquarius, it lights up the balance between being seen for who you are and belonging to something larger than yourself. Feelings about creativity, recognition, and the urge to express yourself tend to surface now and ask to be honored. It is a warm, generous time to release a fear of standing out and to let your heart show, as long as you do not need the room to revolve entirely around you.
