2021 Full Moon in Leo ♌︎

Today at 2:17 p.m. ET, we have a Full Moon in Leo. You can read more about it in the January 28th MoonLetter, but these are summaries of what themes you can expect to be highlighted based on your rising sign. Because it is activating the Saturn-Jupiter conjunct from December 2020, make sure to reference back to the Solar Eclipse in Sagittarius horoscopes for additional insight!

Aries ♈︎

This Full Moon is happening across your 5th and 11th houses, highlighting a need to regulate your own pleasure versus that of a group. You are being called to accept—and maybe share—how your ways of curating joy and expressing your creativity are different than others’. Belonging is important but so is being true to your own process.

The Full Moon makes a T-square to Mars and Uranus in your 2nd house of values and resources, bringing possible financial losses or surprises that add extra pressure to this situation. You might be owed something that it’s beyond time to demand.

Taurus ♉︎

This Full Moon is happening across your 4th and 10th houses which culminates any topics of tension between your home life and work or public life. You may have been avoiding talking about your aspirations with those closest to you, but it’s time to bring them in as a sounding board.

Square to Mars and Uranus in your 1st house, this Full Moon promises that your position—and who you are becoming—will surprise others. If you don’t share your thoughts, they could come bubbling up in an uncomfortable emotional confrontation.

Gemini ♊︎

This Full Moon is happening across your 3rd and 9th houses emphasizing learning opportunities and your personal beliefs. Have you heard the expression that teaching others can support your own learning? This is particularly relevant to your Full Moon story, because it’s time to share what you’ve been studying in a way that bonds you to others.

This Full Moon is square to Mars and Uranus in your 12th house. In contrast to the guidance above, if you hermit yourself away during this time, you are likely to feel an uncomfortable amount of pressure to make progress resulting in sleeplessness or even illness.

Cancer ♋︎

This Full Moon is happening across your 2nd and 8th houses which speaks to your bank accounts and debts. You need to set boundaries and be clear about your financial responsibilities, especially in partnership. What’s yours cannot always be theirs. You can likely tell something has been imbalanced in what you give and receive, even if you haven’t been able to put a name to it. Listen to that discomfort—it’s not imaginary.

Square to Mars and Uranus in your 11th house, you might be feeling pressure from more than one person in this regard. Reassess commitments (time, money, energy) to groups and associations to see where your resources might be taken for granted, and better served by investing in your more immediate needs.

Leo ♌︎

This Full Moon is happening across your 1st and 7th houses, highlighting a culmination of events around your partnerships—whether business, friendship, or romance. Have you been honest in interpersonal exchanges? At this juncture, honesty may mean laying it all on the table, complicating factors, previous omissions, and all. Mutual understanding is beneficial for everyone involved.

The Full Moon is square to Mars and Uranus in your 10th house. Withholding could cost your reputation. Additionally, there may be significant and unforeseen changes to your career around this time, which will be hard to grapple with while Mars remains in Taurus until March 3.

Virgo ♍︎

This Full Moon is happening across your 12th and 6th houses. It will emphasize where you work hard, struggle, and sometimes fail to be of service to others. If you are not getting recognition for your service, it will feel close to impossible to continue producing good work. You will be better able to express your position if you take a break to get in touch with how you really feel regardless of what others need of you.

Square to Mars and Uranus in your 9th house, you may feel particularly challenged by your personal beliefs and worldviews that have carried you into your current situation. You’re questioning whether the principles you espouse are right at this stage of life, and this is another challenge that could be helped by a break or retreat inward. Things might feel clearer once Mars leaves your 9th house on March 3.

Libra ♎︎

This Full Moon is happening across your 5th and 11th houses, pointing your role in a group reaching peak importance, especially one that supports you professionally or creatively. You can find lots of help if you ask for it, especially if you’ve felt uninspired lately. Interactions with community can rekindle a spark of joy within you around this Full Moon.

However, with a square to Mars and Uranus in your 8th house, you are likely having a hard time seeing past anxiety. Do not let feeling like an imposter, or like you have nothing to give to this community, prevent you from reaching out. You may be surprised by how much support is available.

Scorpio ♏︎

This Full Moon is happening across your 10th and 4th houses which throw your private and public lives into contrast. You are called to take a position on which of these you want to nurture and grow, realizing it cannot be both no matter how much energy and time you have. This is a good time to be vocal about boundaries in your career to make space for private pursuits.

This Full Moon is square to Mars and Uranus in your 7th house. Demands from partners, bosses, and clients may propel the conflict mentioned above into the spotlight. If you can avoid responding from a place of inflexibility, it may help you express your needs while accepting others’.

Sagittarius ♐︎

This Full Moon is happening across your 9th and 3rd houses which point to a crisis between your long-held beliefs and the way you operate day-to-day. Something isn’t working, or it’s working in a way you did not expect. You need to get clear on whether your underlying philosophy or daily habits need changing, and speaking to an advisor—especially a spiritual teacher, mentor, or coach—could be quite helpful.

Especially due to the square to Mars and Uranus in your 6th house, the crisis could be having a deleterious influence on your health and your ability to manage daily tasks. Consider alternative healing modalities or revolutionary time management techniques to tide you over as this crisis plays out.

Capricorn ♑︎

This Full Moon is happening across your 8th and 2nd houses, emphasizing finances and what you value, especially resources that are shared with another. If you have been making changes to your own budgets and investments, it’s time to make sure those effected by these changes are onboard. This lunation could bring some argument around finances into your home.

Square to Mars and Uranus in your 5th house, arguments are all but guaranteed to center around entertainment budgets and/or money spent on children. Be especially careful of how conversations around money and resources could offend romantic partners.

Aquarius ♒︎

This Full Moon is happening across your 7th and 1st houses, so it’s a very personal Full Moon for you. Relationship issues are under the microscope, and you may feel inclined to make demands of your partner(s)—platonic or romantic—right now. Do not be surprised if communication feels especially tense, as Mercury (planet of communication) is about to turn retrograde in your 1st house. These issues will be revisited over the next month, so do not make any ultimatums or dramatic gestures right now.

Square to Mars and Uranus in your 4th house, some partnership conflicts could stem from tumult in your family or uncertainty about a living situation. Certain decisions or utterances cannot be taken back, so be cautious issuing heat-of-the-moment proclamations! Avoid making pressurized choices until at least March 3, when Mars leaves your 4th house.

Pisces ♓︎

This Full Moon is happening across your 6th and 12th houses, which highlights things you are not in control of. Sometimes it’s good to relinquish control, but sometimes it’s stolen away from us. If you are able to express what you no longer feel in control of, it may lessen the mental burden you’re carrying. And note, expression could be as simple as writing it down.

Square to Mars and Uranus in your 3rd house, carrying the weight of the world without an outlet will result in problems thinking clearly. Destructive 3rd house behavior could be a litmus test of how well you are coping with this lack of control; beware of gossip and dishonesty as a way to manipulate people or seize some semblance of power. When Mars leaves Taurus on March 3, bitter medicine will probably become easier to swallow.
