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.
For this 2025 Leo Full Moon on 12th Feb at 24°06′ Leo:
This Full Moon feels like a big one - Uranus is involved - it feels like a cosmic reset. Calling us out on where we've been holding back and playing small. I’ve been feeling it—have you? That push-pull between where I am and where I know I’m meant to be.
The urge to say what I really mean, to break free from old patterns, to step into something bigger.
This Full Moon is all about clarity (Jupiter) meets chaos (Uranus). It’s here to strip away what’s no longer working. I can’t drag the old version of me into my next chapter—I’ve outgrown her.
So I’m asking myself:
✨ Where have I been playing small instead of owning my truth?
✨ What dream have I been sitting on, too afraid to shake things up?
✨ Am I ready to trust myself and step into what’s actually meant for me?
This energy isn’t subtle—it’s electric, fast, and unapologetic. So I’m letting it shake me awake, crack me open, and show me what’s possible. No more waiting. It’s go time. Do you feel it too?!
Where does it fall in your chart?
Which house is Leo in within your natal chart? For me it falls within my 9th House so brings up themes of teaching, travel, higher education, the pursuit of knowledge (yes I’m experiencing that!). View a quick summary of the house themes here.
To check yours, pull up your chart on https://www.astro.com/cgi/chart.cgi and check where the Leo sign is (the red curved ‘n’)- 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- for me I have an ‘empty house’ there so my main focus is the area of my life linked to the house, but if you have placements, take those into account as well e.g. Mars is linked to your drive, motivation and forward direction, Venus is linked to relationships, how you find harmony and your values.
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: Cinnamon (energy), Bay Leaf (manifestation), and Sunflower (vitality).

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?
