About Leo

One of the oldest known constellations recorded is Leo. Humans have been looking to the stars for thousands of years, that is one of the reasons I love astrology. It is an ancient practice.

Leo is a passionate fire that rules the heart.

The symbol for Leo is very well-known. The brave and loyal lion. Leo energy is known to be warm hearted and often beloved socially.

The lion has much pride so can bruise easily.

An important focus for Leo is playfulness and joy, allowing the inner child to shine.

About the Full Moon in Leo

Leo is all about light as the sign that is ruled by the sun.

As Leo is one of the three fire signs, this is an especially energetic full moon.

As the sign ruled by the Sun, Leo is about vitality. Under the light of this full moon focus on restoring your vitality. Doing things that your true inner self feels passion from.

Focus on your spirit, what sparks you?

There is a lot of talk in pop astrology about Leo enjoying being the center of attention, this can be misconstrued. Leo wants to be seen for who they truly are. Authentically. Leo season is a wonderful time for us to all check in on who we are are, are we showing up as our authentic self?

Natal Leo Moon

If you were born while the moon was in Leo, treat this full moon as a huge celebration.

This is an your lunar return. A lunar return is everything in the lunar cycle, the moon returns to the sign or degree when you were born. So when it is full, it's like your most vibrant exciting lunar return of the lunar year. Enjoy it!

Leo Full Moon Ritual Ideas

Ritual and celebration ideas for a Leo Full moon include:

• Be sure to connect to the moon, go outside and look at her! It seems so obvious, but we often forget to actually step outside and gaze in awe at the sky.

• Sit under full moon light. Bathe in the light.

• Take a notebook to bed. If you wake up in the night, or morning, record your dreams, visions.

• Don't neglect the sun either, Leo's ruler. Spend time outside. Watch the sunrise or the sunset.

• Focus on a creative project and creative self-expression.

• Do something fun to nourish your inner child.

• Tarot reading or tarot card pull. Here is the beautiful tarot deck I use.

Tarot for the Leo Full Moon

Under the full moon, turn to the tarot cards for a special ritual. Tarot is a beautiful tool to hold a mirror up to your soul, for bringing to the surface what you need to know at any given moment.

The card associated with Leo is the Strength card. At the time of the full moon you may wish to journal on this card.

Another ideas is to ask the cards, what do you need for more joy? For more creativity? For more authentic self-expression. And see what the cards reveal.

Tarot Deck

The tarot deck I use (pictured) is available for purchase here.

I adore the colours and art deco illustrations, while the deck remains close to the traditional imagery and meanings.
