Leo Full Moon: Heart, Truth, and Collective Awakening
The Leo Full Moon on February 1, 2026 arrives at 2:09pm Pacific Time, illuminating the axis between personal truth and collective responsibility. With the Moon at 13° Leo opposing the Sun at 13° Aquarius, this lunation asks us to reconcile authenticity with belonging, heart-centered expression with future-oriented vision.
The Moon is conjunct the asteroid Varuna, an ancient Vedic deity associated with cosmic law, moral order, and truth. Varuna governs the unseen agreements we make — with ourselves, with others, and with life itself. Under this Full Moon, emotional awareness becomes a form of ethical clarity. What has been hidden or avoided is gently revealed, not for punishment, but for restoration of integrity.
Leo energy invites courage — not the courage to perform, but the courage to be real. This Full Moon asks us to examine where we are living from the heart and where we may be adapting ourselves for approval or safety. Truth, once illuminated, cannot be unseen.
Opposing the Moon is a powerful Aquarian stellium. The Sun is conjunct Vesta, emphasizing devotion and focus, while Pluto, Mars, Venus, Mercury, and Chariklo gather in Aquarius, amplifying themes of collective change, reform, and awakening. Mars positioned between Pluto and the Sun brings intensity and catalytic energy, urging action that is conscious rather than reactive.
A particularly meaningful signature of this chart is the tight conjunction of Chariklo, Venus, and Mercury. Chariklo, known as the wife of Chiron, represents compassionate presence — the ability to stay, witness, and hold space without needing to fix or resolve. With Venus and Mercury, this influence supports relational honesty, gentle communication, and healing through listening.
Uranus in Taurus squares this conjunction, introducing sudden insights and necessary disruptions around values, security, and attachment. While this may feel destabilizing, it ultimately supports truth over comfort and growth over stagnation.
Beneath the intensity of this Full Moon is a quieter stabilizing influence: a minor triangle connecting Uranus, Saturn, Neptune, and Pluto. Saturn at 28° Pisces and Neptune at 0° Aries are preparing us for their conjunction later in February, dissolving outdated ideals while inviting new spiritual responsibility. This Full Moon acts as a threshold, helping us release illusion and anchor vision with care.
The Leo Full Moon invites us to lead with the heart, to speak with integrity, and to remain present during times of transformation. It is a reminder that the future is shaped not only by innovation, but by honesty, devotion, and the courage to be seen.
