Full Moon Eclipse in Leo: Pure Gold
The
Full Moon Lunar eclipse (Jan 20th 9:15 pm PST/Jan 21st 12:15 am EST)
occurs at 0 deg Leo. It makes no major aspects to any planets or
asteroids, so its energy is quite pure. We have intensified Leo themes –
pride, glory, creativity, performance, attention. 0 degrees also has a
sense of purity about it – there’s a fresh, golden start here (even
though the Full Moon is a culmination).
This
eclipse occurs so close to the Sun’s Aquarius ingress ( Jan 20th /12:59
am PST/3:59 am EST) that we can consider it to be a description of this
entire Aquarius season (especially if your birthday falls on January
20th or 21st). The themes will be something that brings you pride and
joy, or reminds you that these things are missing from your life. Being
noticed (or ignored). Staying true to yourself and your freedom even as
you seek to create or gain the appreciation of others. Leo’s power lies
with passion for creation and love of the audience. Aquarius’ power lies
with the individual and cool detachment.
What
do these contrasting influences mean to you? The Moon is in Leo, so
that’s where the power is. But this is Aquarius season, so it’s all
about the individual and detaching from the relentless need for
attention. Remember, this eclipse is an ending but also a beginning (as
all endings are).
This
will be a massive attention grabber – an ending or result will be quite
dramatic, and with the Aquarius theme, there’s a sense of the
unexpected as well. What happens will be public, so consider if you want
people to notice what’s coming up or not. Because this is a
culmination, it’s building on what’s already happening, so you may have a
hint about what’s approaching.
Key dates:
Jan 6th: Uranus (ruler of Aquarius) in Aries stations direct
Jan 18th: the Capricorn Sun squares Uranus
Also
on January 20th there is an exact square between Venus in Sagittarius
and Neptune in Pisces. Venus is 1 degree away from a conjunction to
Jupiter in Sag, so this aspect recalls the Jupiter/Neptune square,
with the added indulgence of Venus (what you want and love).
Relationships, money and values will be a heady mix, redolent of
narcotics and sugar (addictive, sweet and dangerous). Be careful what
you spend or wish for. If you get what you want, you could end up
disappointed or overwhelmed. On the other hand, these energies suggest
magical possibilities and fortuitous breakthroughs. The square is a
crisis, but every crisis means there’s a corner to turn.
On
January 21st, we have a sobering square between Mars in Aries and
Saturn in Capricorn. Bold actions (Mars) will be blocked or limited
(Saturn). This will be a hard counterpoint to Venus/Neptune and it may
not be such a bad thing. Mars/Saturn will ensure that you only go so
far. And if you handle these energies correctly (work with the available
potential and be careful) you may be able to manifest something
extraordinary.
