What This Full Moon Represents

The full moon in Leo brings a moment of truth. Leo is the sign of authenticity, confidence, and self-expression. It rules the heart, creativity, and personal power. But under the weight of challenging aspects, this full moon is not just about shining—it is about facing where we have been holding ourselves back.

This lunation calls for courageous honesty. Where are we playing small? Where are we seeking validation rather than standing firm in our truth?

Why This Full Moon Feels Like a Test

The full moon in Leo arrives under a sky filled with tension, disruption, and transformation. Squaring Uranus in Taurus, this lunation brings instability, forcing change whether or not it is welcomed. What once felt solid may suddenly shift, and the discomfort of unpredictability rises to the surface. Uranus does not allow stagnation, and under this aspect, anything built on weak foundations may begin to crumble. Resistance only prolongs the inevitable; adaptation is the only way forward.

Amidst the turbulence, the moon forms a trine to Chiron in Aries, offering an opportunity for healing. Chiron’s influence reminds us that old wounds still shape our present reality, lingering beneath the surface until we confront them. There is strength in acknowledging past pain without allowing it to define the future. The Leo moon, ruling the heart, calls for confidence in one’s inherent worth, even when the external world feels unsteady. Healing does not come from avoidance but from standing fully in the light of self-recognition.

With the sun combusting Mercury in Aquarius, clarity is difficult to grasp. Overwhelming thoughts, reactive speech, and mental fatigue cloud decision-making. When Mercury is so close to the sun, its voice is drowned out, making it easy to misinterpret both internal and external messages. This is not the time for impulsive communication or rushed conclusions. Observation is key, as words may be spoken before their true meaning is understood.

Pluto’s square to the Black Moon unearths hidden fears and power struggles, exposing dynamics that have long operated beneath the surface. Suppressed anger, buried resentment, and unspoken conflicts demand attention. The energy of this transit is raw and uncompromising, revealing where control has been taken or surrendered. Transformation is inevitable, but whether it is destructive or liberating depends on how one chooses to engage with the forces at play.

Neptune’s conjunction with the North Node blurs the line between intuition and illusion. There is a sense of being pulled toward something greater, yet uncertainty clouds the path forward. Neptune dissolves boundaries, making it difficult to discern whether one is stepping into destiny or drifting into fantasy. Trusting in vision without grounding in reality can lead to confusion, yet rejecting the unknown out of fear stifles growth. What is real will endure; what is illusion will eventually fade.

Chiron’s square to Mars adds frustration, creating a battle between action and self-doubt. The desire to move forward is strong, yet past wounds and insecurities threaten to slow momentum. This is a test of resilience. Pushing through discomfort without awareness leads to recklessness, while stagnation out of fear creates missed opportunities. Strength emerges not from force alone, but from the willingness to engage with challenge rather than retreat from it.

This full moon is not an easy one. It reveals, disrupts, and forces necessary shifts. Under its light, illusions fall away, wounds demand attention, and the path ahead requires both courage and patience. Those who embrace its lessons will find themselves stronger, clearer, and more aligned with the truth that has been waiting to emerge.

This is not a time for impulsive action. It is a time for deep listening. Let the truths of this full moon settle before making any major decisions.

How to Work with This Energy

1. Release, Don’t Resist – If something feels unstable, trust that it is shifting for a reason.

2. Observe Before Reacting – With Mercury combust the sun, miscommunication is likely. Wait before responding.

3. Trust the Timing – Neptune’s influence may create fog, but not all answers need to come immediately.

Final Thoughts

This full moon is a turning point. It illuminates both our power and our fears. It reveals where we have been limiting ourselves and what we must release to move forward. This full moon is not meant to be easy, but it is meant to wake you up. It is a call to step forward without fear and to clear space for what truly aligns with you.
