It’s Aquarius season! And it is also eclipse season!
Expect a wild shakeup this month.
This month is a month of final deaths and rebirths, as we complete what has been a huge journey of deep transformation with the year of the wood snake and enter into the year of the Fire Horse on the 17th.
You will not be exiting February the same person. The final chapter of rebirth that you have been awaiting, is this month.
Full Moon in 13degrees Leo
The month starts with a full moon in 13 degrees Leo on the 2nd of February and it sets a very particular tone for the month.
Theme: Heart-led visibility, creative sovereignty, embodied leadership
A Leo Full Moon always asks a version of the same question:
Where am I hiding my light — and what happens if I let myself be seen?
At 13°, this lunation carries a stabilising yet initiatory quality. Leo is fixed fire: it wants to anchor courage in the body, not just spark inspiration. This is not about dramatic performance for approval — it’s about self-authorisation.
Core Leo activations
Heart & spine (Leo rulership): courage must be embodied, not conceptual
Creative expression: what you make, say, teach, or offer wants a larger audience
Healthy ego: reclaiming pride without slipping into defensiveness
Inner child themes: joy, play, pleasure, spontaneity — or grief where these were suppressed
Because this is a Full Moon, something reaches visibility or culmination:
A truth about how you want to be seen
A creative or leadership identity ready to be claimed
A tension between personal radiance (Leo) and collective expectations (Aquarius Sun)
Nervous system & somatic layer
Leo Full Moons can stimulate the sympathetic nervous system:
heightened emotion
heat in the chest
strong urges to act, speak, declare, or cut through hesitation
If unintegrated, this can show up as:
overexertion
performative urgency
burnout masked as “confidence”
If integrated, it becomes:
calm authority
embodied presence
leadership that emanates, rather than pushes
Questions to sit with
Where am I ready to be more visible — without asking permission?
What version of myself is complete and ready to be released?
What does authentic confidence feel like in my body (not my mind)?
Ritual suggestions
Gentle spinal extension or heart-opening movement (nothing forced)
Candle gazing while placing a hand on the sternum
Write a declaration that begins with:
“I no longer dim myself when…”
This Full Moon is not loud by default — but it will magnify whatever truth is already burning in the chest.
Herbal & Nutritional Remedies (Cooling the Heart Fire)
Hawthorn (Crataegus) — primary Leo medicine
Strengthens the heart without overstimulation
Calms palpitations, emotional volatility, and overexertion
Excellent for people who “lead with their heart” too much
How:
Tea or tincture daily for 2–6 weeks
Especially supportive around Full Moons or visibility periods
Rose (Rosa damascena / centifolia)
Softens emotional armor around the heart
Cools excess fire while keeping warmth and love intact
How:
Rose tea
Rose glycerite
Rose oil over the sternum before sleep
Magnesium (especially glycinate or taurate)
Regulates cardiac rhythm + nervous system
Grounds Leo’s solar output into the parasympathetic system
Solar Eclipse + Chinese Astrological New Year
We have some big alignments taking place this month, with a solar eclipse in 28degrees Aquarius occurring on the same day that we move into a new Chinese Horoscope with the Chinese New Year - Feb 17th. Make sure you schedule this day out and highlight it in your calendar. DO NOT schedule anything in for this day - it is a time to be internal, to sit with yourself and be present with your inner realms.
The eclipse portal completes on March the 3rd with a Lunar eclipse in 12degrees Virgo.
Eclipse portals are times when we enter into liminal space- they are a time to pause, to witness what needs to fall away. They are not times when we should be making any major life decision. Please leave all big decisions and wait until AFTER March 3rd (plus a week of integration) to really ensure you are making the right decisions - ones you will not regret later.
Eclipse season is NOT a time for ritual. It is a time to just be, and to listen. It is like being in the void. Anything you try to “do” ritual wise will just fall through quicksand.
Eclipses bring plot twists.
ESPECIALLY when it is a month which is highly Uranian.
With February starting off with the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Mars all reside in the sign of Aquarius, which is ruled by the planet Uranus, which is the planet of unexpected and sudden change / insights and visionary guidance, expect that you may receive many visions / downloads and/or changes in direction this month.
From a medical astrology perspective, Uranus is the planet of electricity, disruption, awakening, and sudden change. In the body, Uranus governs anything that operates through speed, impulses, shocks, and non-linear signaling.
