The Leo Full Moon: A Guide
A Time to Shine, Celebrate, and Embrace Your Authenticity
The Leo Full Moon brings bold, radiant energy, encouraging self-expression, creativity, and a celebration of individuality. Leo, symbolised by the Lion, reminds you to step into the spotlight of your own life and lead with courage and love.
The Themes of Leo
Leo represents confidence, joy, creativity, and passion. It inspires you to live from your heart, embrace your inner child, and share your unique light with the world. This Full Moon is about self-love and boldly owning who you are.
Where does it fall in your chart?
Which house is Leo in within your natal chart? For me it falls within my 8th / 9th Houses so can bring up themes of: rebirth, regeneration, and shedding layers. It can also refer to intense psychological transformation (yes experiencing that!).
8th house: intimacy, deep connection with others, the occult, transformation, other people’s money
9th house: teaching, travel, higher education, the pursuit of knowledge

To check yours, pull up your chart on https://www.astro.com/cgi/chart.cgi and check where the Leo sign is (in red like an upside down U)- check the house number in the middle of the chart. You can click the ‘add transits’ button to get the green transit symbols on the outside of the circle as shown below.
Note also if you have any other placements within Leo. I also offer readings if you want my personal insights on your chart.
Leo’s Modality: Fixed
As a fixed sign, Leo embodies stability, determination, and persistence. This energy helps you stay committed to your passions and purpose, encouraging you to follow through with confidence and resolve.
Leo’s Element: Fire
Fire signs, like Leo, are dynamic, passionate, and energising. This element fuels creativity, ambition, and a zest for life. Under this Full Moon, the fiery energy invites you to rekindle your inner spark and take inspired action.
Herbs, Metals, and Crystals Linked to Leo Energy
Herbs: Cinnamon (energy), Bay Leaf (manifestation), and Sunflower (vitality).
Metals: Gold, representing Leo’s connection to the Sun and abundance.
Crystals: Citrine (confidence), Carnelian (creativity), and Tiger’s Eye (courage).
Mythological Connections
Leo is connected to the story of the Nemean Lion from Greek mythology, a fierce creature that Hercules defeated as part of his twelve labours. The Lion’s strength and resilience remind us of the courage we carry within and the victories that come from believing in ourselves.
The Completion of a Cycle
This Full Moon marks the culmination of the Leo cycle that began with the Leo New Moon six months ago. Reflect on how you’ve grown in confidence, creativity, or leadership during this time. What intentions have you fulfilled, and how have you stepped into your power?
A Simple Leo Full Moon Ritual
Honour Your Light: Write down your unique qualities and achievements. Read them aloud under the moonlight to celebrate yourself
Creative Expression: Paint, dance, or journal to channel your inner fire. Let your creativity flow freely
Manifest with Gold: Light a gold or yellow candle and set intentions for abundance and self-confidence
