How Each Zodiac Can Break Free/Claim Their True Power Under The Leo Full Moon (2/12)

ARIES

If you’ve lost touch with your inner fire, the Leo Full Moon is here to reignite your confidence, and with Venus currently in your sign, it’s time to let yourself shine. This Luna urges you to be like the Lion and have courage—the courage to be the most radiant version of yourself, to be bold, to pursue your passions. What stifles your self-expression and creativity? What keeps you from taking risks? What stops you from embracing your unique gifts and sharing them with the world? Break free from your fears, self-doubt, and hesitations. Allow yourself to be seen. Stop keeping it small and play it safe. If you must redefine your path to align it with what brings you true joy and fulfillment, then so be it. Remember, in your life, you are the main character. 

TAURUS

With the Full Moon illuminating your foundations, you must release emotional and energetic baggage. Break free from the past so that you may step into your future as the person you’re meant to become. Let go of unresolved feelings, lingering emotions, or memories that have kept you from moving forward. Reframe old wounds as lessons and break their hold on you. Grow from the experiences, stories, and mistakes that have shaped you. The Moon squares off with Uranus in your sign, shaking up your personal life. If you’ve been stagnant or resistant to change, take matters into your own hands—let go of relationships you’ve outgrown, make yourself heard at home, change your living situation, identify generational patterns you must break, update your living space, and learn to find security within yourself.

GEMINI

You have the opportunity to thrive under this lunation, which lights up your Third House of communication, interaction, and perception, the house ruled by your sign. With Leo’s influence, this Full Moon has important truths right on the tip of your tongue. Be bold, Gemini, and let it all out. Break free from the fears and hesitations that stop you from expressing your heart, thoughts, and ideas. Claim your true power by speaking your raw, unfiltered truth. That heaviness weighing you down that you can’t quite shake no matter how hard you try stems from holding back. How have you been silencing yourself? If you’ve been making yourself small at work or home, it’s time to confidently speak up. Have the hard conversations you’ve been avoiding. Shoot your shot and confess your feelings. Stand up for yourself if you’ve been hurt.

CANCER

The Full Moon in Leo sweeps through your Second House of livelihood, security, and confidence. Are you happy with your finances, Cancer? Break free from any bad financial habits that drain your bank account and prevent you from setting yourself up with a comfortable future. Make a detailed plan for ridding yourself of debt and to start saving. If you’ve been thinking about trying your hand at another stream of income, go for it. Eyeing that promotion? Apply for it. Think about your most precious resource—time. How are you using it to invest in yourself? Remember that self-worth is derived from within, and not from external sources. You can be as successful as you always dreamed and have the praise of the entire world, but it’ll mean nothing unless you’ve done the self-work—this is how you claim your true power.

LEO

This is your Full Moon, Leo, and it’s all about renewal and reinvention. Luna moves through your First House of identity, new beginnings, and personal goals. This is your annual invitation to release versions of yourself that you’ve outgrown. Like a snake, you’re called to shed old skin that no longer serves you. Let yourself transform into a more authentic, empowered you. The growth this lunation urges you to do is going to be uncomfortable, painful even, but it’s spawning something majestic within you. Be honest with yourself about all the ways you must evolve. To be able to name them means you’re ready. The Moon illuminates your untapped potential—personal, professional, and otherwise. What things do you need to break free from to level up? Let them go. Claim your true power by embodying the person you wish to become. 

VIRGO

The Leo Full Moon feels especially emotional, and melancholy even, as it makes its way through your Twelfth House of spirituality and solitude. This is the sector of your chart that rules over endings, closure, healing, and your subconscious. Don’t ignore or try to suppress the big feelings stirring within you. These emotions are rising to the surface because they can no longer live in the depths in which you buried them. You need to break free from them to tap into your true power. Heal the old emotional wounds that have prevented you from opening up to new experiences, opportunities, and connections. This lunation illuminates patterns, relationships, and situations that no longer serve you. Let go of the baggage keeping you from writing your next chapter. Treat this Luna as a spiritual reset and a chance to connect with yourself again.

LIBRA

The Full Moon in Leo shines a light on your community, friendships, social networks, wishes, and hopes for the future. It’s a powerful time to let go of bonds that lack genuine trust and mutual support. Leave behind relationships that drain you or are inconsistent. Shatter any illusions of reciprocity or balance that you may be clinging to. Break free from people who don’t uplift you, inspire you, or challenge you to grow. Leave behind spaces that make you feel small or like you have to hide parts of yourself. Create more room in your life for authentic connections that give you the courage to embrace vulnerability, make you feel appreciated for exactly who you are, let you take up space, and help you evolve. To accomplish your dreams, you must own your true power, so surround yourself with people who reflect that power back at you. 

SCORPIO

The Full Moon in Leo directs the spotlight to your life path, ambitions, legacy, and reputation. It urges you to break free of everything that holds you back from claiming your full potential and shaping your future exactly as you envision it. This means letting go of self-doubt, limiting mindsets, confining patterns, and hesitations that keep you from pursuing your passions and dreams. Let this lunation push you into fully stepping into your purpose. Release your fear of failure and have the courage to carve out your place in the world. Whatever you truly want to pursue is worth fighting for, even if it means changing course and redirecting. It’s never too late to own your power and embrace your true calling. Remove the blocks between you and manifestation, your dream job, personal achievements, and taking up space. 

SAGITTARIUS

The Leo Full Moon, which is all about claiming your true power through expansion and exploration, calls to your wild and adventurous spirit. It’s a powerful time to break free from everything you thought you knew, everything you thought you wanted, and everything you thought you were. Release your limits, Sag, so that you may align with what truly fulfills you and makes you feel alive. Spend some time under this lunation reflecting on how you can broaden your perspective. Set some goals for the next six months. Challenge yourself to step outside your comfort zone—through new experiences, new habits, new connections, travel, and learning. It’ll provide clarity on what truly ignites your soul. Let that fire guide you to where you want to go and how you wish to grow.

CAPRICORN

The Leo Full Moon casts a light upon your Eighth House of transformation, intimacy, and deep connections. Let yourself dive deep into your emotional waters, and don’t be afraid if you end up at the shores of your shadow side. Whatever emotions, fears, or desires you’ve been suppressing are making themselves known. Some might be uncomfortable, like resentment, anger, pain, jealousy, insecurity, or regret. You might face hard truths about yourself or your closest relationships, as well as revelations about what in your past you need to let go. Personal longings you’ve longed talked yourself out of may resurface, as well as sexual wants you’ve rebuked. Break free from your shame. Address anything you’ve avoided with your nearest and dearest. Being vulnerable isn’t exactly your forte, but there’s power in it—it can offer you a deeper sense of fulfillment and security.

AQUARIUS

With Luna activating your Seventh House of one-on-one partnerships and squaring off with Uranus in your Fourth House of personal matters, you might see unexpected changes in your closest relationships. Full Moons are a time of letting go. So, what patterns do you need to release to connect on a deeper level? What shifts or changes do you wish to see implemented within your bonds in order to feel more seen and appreciated? What relationships have reached their expiration date? Who are you clinging to out of habit? Whether it’s romantic, platonic, or family, you must break free from the connection if it’s restricting your happiness and growth. You need to surround yourself with genuine, supportive, and enriching bonds if you want to harness your true power.

PISCES

Take advantage of the Full Moon in Leo to break free from everything that keeps you from maintaining a healthy work-life balance. How can you lessen the load on your plate? What should you prioritize now and what should you save for later? What commitments leave you feeling drained? How can you be better about implementing self-care practices? You should also reflect on whether your daily life is conducive to creating the life you envision and generating stability. Claim your true power by adjusting your everyday habits and rituals to support your ambitions and well-being. Let go of patterns hindering your progress and emotional, physical, and mental health. Set the boundaries you need to set for yourself. Shake up your routine. Incorporate more of what both fuels you and restores you.
