As we step into February, the skies are serving a potent, politically charged Leo full moon, the likes of which we haven’t seen in a while. If you’ve been feeling the tension between “me” and “we,” between authority and the collective, you’re not mistaken. On February 1, 2026, the Full Moon at 13º Leo stands like a lone wolf, directly opposing a powerhouse stellium of planets in Aquarius: Mercury, Venus, the Sun, Mars, and Pluto. This isn’t just a celestial event—it’s a cosmic call to stand up for the higher good.

What Does a Full Moon Mean?

For those new to lunar rhythms, a full moon occurs when the Sun and Moon sit opposite each other, illuminating the night with their reflective dance. Astrologically, this marks a culmination, a completion, or a moment of heightened awareness. It’s when what was seeded at the last new moon comes to fruition—and often, to a head.

This Leo Full Moon, however, is anything but ordinary. It’s more like a showdown.

The Cosmic Showdown: Leo vs. Aquarius

Leo: The Sovereign Self

Leo, ruled by the Sun, embodies heart, creativity, leadership, and sovereignty. It’s the sign of the king, the performer, the one who stands center stage. In its highest expression, Leo leads with warmth, generosity, and courage. But in its shadow? It can become self-serving, dramatic, and tyrannical—a ruler more concerned with their own needs than the kingdom they serve.

In this full moon configuration, Leo—symbolizing the ruling class, the establishment, the “old guard”—stands alone. With no planetary allies in Leo, the Moon, reflecting the light of the Sun, stands alone, while the stellium firmly planted in Aquarius (sign of the collective) challenges the Moon.

Aquarius: The Collective Awakening

Opposing Leo, we have a stellium—a cluster of planets—in Aquarius:

• Mercury (communication, ideas)
• Venus (values, relationships)
• Sun (core identity, vitality)
• Mars (action, drive)
• Pluto (transformation, power)

Aquarius is the revolutionary, the humanitarian, the visionary. It represents the collective, equality, innovation, and social change. With Pluto here, the call for a systemic overhaul isn’t just a whisper—it’s a roar.

This clearly represents the people versus the king. And the power is unequivocally with the collective.

The Big Picture: From Capricorn to Aquarius

This movement didn’t start overnight. Remember the New Moon in Capricorn back in January? We had a stellium of personal planets in Capricorn that moved over the threshold into Aquarius by the end of January, creating a crack in the foundation of the old guard—the moment we stood united and questioned the validity of top-heavy structures, governments, and hierarchies. As the personal planets moved from Capricorn into Aquarius, they joined Pluto, transforming the imposed individual concept of powerlessness into a united collective force for the higher good of humanity. 

What we’re witnessing now is an ongoing power shift, one that’s gaining momentum by the day. Corrupt leaders are being exposed. As a result, we’re witnessing a wave of motivated young leaders stepping up to work with the people, for the people to fix the broken system. This Full Moon is an awakening to confront your individual strength, collective power, and to say, “Enough!”

Global Implications: A Shift in Power

When I cast this Full Moon’s astromaps chart over Denmark, something fascinating emerges: the Midheaven line passes through Greenland, aligning with Chiron (the wounded healer) and Neptune/Saturn. This suggests a period of profound change, possibly centered on environmental, political, or social healing in the Arctic region.

But the implications are global. With Neptune already in Aries and Saturn about to join it on February 13, we’re entering an era where ideals (Neptune) meet structure (Saturn) in the sign of the individual pioneer (Aries). The call isn’t just to dream of a better world—it’s to build it, fearlessly.

This Energy Isn’t New—But It’s Intensifying

If this all feels familiar, that’s because it is. This wave began building in mid-2025, and it will define the entirety of 2026. We’re not just experiencing a blip on the cosmic radar; we’re living through a generational shift. The Leo Full Moon is the spark, but the fire will burn all year.

Your Personal Journey: Questions for Reflection

While the outer world churns with revolution, your inner world is being called to align. This Full Moon invites you to ask:

• What do I need to release? For many, it’s the illusions we’ve held about our reality—the stories we were told, the roles we played, the systems we thought were unshakeable.
• How will I engage with others? Especially those who seem opposed to my beliefs. Can I find compassion and empathy—seeing the similarities instead of the differences?
• Who am I becoming? This Full Moon sets the stage for your entire year. It’s time to decide: Will I cling to the old throne, or will I join the collective rise?

Conclusion: The Heart of the Shift

This Full Moon isn’t just an astrological event—it’s an invitation. An invitation to step out of the shadow of self-interest and into the light of collective responsibility. To recognize that true power doesn’t come from ruling over others, but from standing with them.

As the Leo Moon illuminates the night, let it illuminate your heart.

• Where can you lead with more courage? 
• Where can you release the need for attention and instead, attune to the needs of the whole?

The people are rising. The old structures are crumbling. And you have a role to play. Stay brave, stay compassionate, and remember: the future belongs to those who dare to dream it, together.

Please keep an eye on the skies around February 13, when Saturn enters Aries. This period of significant change is just getting started.
