13° Leo 3’
5:08 PM ET / 2:08 PM PT

February 1, 2026 — A Leo Full Moon forms on Sunday, offering joy and release in a time of collective intensity. The sky is crowded with planets in Aquarius, bringing urgency to our shared narrative. Meanwhile, Saturn and Neptune are moving toward their conjunction in Aries, exact on February 20—a rare alignment that dissolves old structures and births new ideals. In the throes of great change, the luminous Leo Full Moon arrives like a candle in the dark, reminding us that even as paradigms crumble, our individual playfulness and creativity remain essential. What's the point in transforming the world unless we remember why we love it?

Astrologically, we're standing at the threshold of an extraordinary portal. A Solar Eclipse arrives with the Lunar New Year on February 17, followed by a Lunar Eclipse on March 3, and Mercury stationing retrograde on February 26. Time is compressing, and the pace of change is quickening. There’s no turning back.

With Uranus stationing direct, revelation and surprise amplify the Full Moon’s energy, perhaps delivering an unexpected breakthrough or a sudden shift in perspective that we’ve desperately needed. The planets are asking us to take leaps, trust the process, and most of all, soften our attachment to outcomes. Just as old trajectories fall away, unexpected ones may spring forth, offering gifts we could have never imagined.

The Leo-Aquarius axis is alive with creative tension and possibility. We’re balancing our unique self-expression with belonging to something far larger. Leo wants us to express ourselves and feel the warmth of being alive, while Aquarius calls us toward community, collective vision, and the ideals worth fighting for. This Full Moon offers a momentary exhale, a reminder that amidst the chaos of ushering in a new era, pleasure, beauty, and childlike wonder still matter.

LEO FULL MOON ASPIRATION

On this Leo Full Moon, may we embrace the spark of joy that lives within us, even as we face the drama of change and great mystery of the unknown. May we leap with faith, remembering that cultivating each of our tender hearts is essential to birthing a better world.
