Aquarius season is all about breaking free from convention, embracing the unexpected, and stepping into the future. It’s a time when we’re challenged to think big, push boundaries, and reimagine the world around us. Yet, when the full moon in Leo rises on Feb. 12 — at exactly 8:53 a.m. EST — we’re called to step back into the spotlight, embodying our most authentic selves and claiming the space we know deserve. Where is 24 degrees of Leo in your birth chart? This is where the moon will reach its peak of fullness, which, in turn, brings emphasis and clarity to these Leo themes in our lives.
This particular full moon marks the crescendo, if you will, of a story that began back in August 2023, which is when we initially planted our seeds of intention. These energies and potentials were then brought to the forefront during the first-quarter moon in Leo in May 2024, which led us to make a bold and courageous move. Now, it is time to gather all we’ve cultivated and watch it bloom in all its glory. Again, be sure to check which astrological house belongs to this Fire sign in your chart for reference.
As always, the sun sits directly across from the moon during the full moon phase, which is also considered a call for balance between the divine feminine (moon) and sacred masculine (sun). The sun is a symbol of our ego, soul purpose and physical identity, while the moon represents our innermost feelings and emotional landscape. That said, this lunation brings the essence of both Fixed Fire and Fixed Air into balance — Leo, a passionate, creative and heart-centered sign and Aquarius, a visionary and intellectual driven by the desire for progress.
The polarity of these Fixed energies reminds us that we’re not only here to be unapologetically ourselves but also to make an impact — to show up authentically while also considering the contribution we’re making for the greater good of mankind. Are you ready to be seen for who you truly are? What part of your identity are you ready to evolve? Under this full moon, the clarity we’ve been waiting for finally arrives.
Prepare to witness the full extent of what’s been building and manifesting since August 2023. Expect a significant revelation — a turning point where we gain the insight we need to take bold action and perhaps even pivot in a new direction. However, I wouldn’t get too comfortable considering the fact that the energy surrounding this full moon isn’t exactly subtle. It’s quite the opposite as a T-Square led by Uranus in Taurus adds a layer of chaos, rebellion, and unexpected change. This is where things get interesting, to say the least!
In addition to being Aquarius’ modern ruler, Uranus is the planet of upheaval, technology and surprising breakthroughs — it urges us to break free from stagnation and let go of what no longer serves us. In Taurus — a zodiac sign its been transiting since 2018 — these Uraninan themes manifest in areas surrounding our creature comforts, value systems and overall sense of stability.
The cosmos beckons us to embrace change and step into a new chapter of our story. And though the influence of Uranus is nothing short of disruptive, it holds the key to your individual freedom. Consider what you’ve outgrown and trust that whatever is unfolding is meant to set you free. Now, as with any full moon, there’s a delicate balance: While the sun in Aquarius calls for progress and emotional detachment (as a way to prioritize intellect), the Leo moon craves love and acknowledgment. This is a dance between our self-expression and collective contribution.
Just days after its Cazimi, Mercury will be in close proximity to the sun, presenting us with the insight and intellectual clarity we need to make necessary shifts. This is a moment to reflect on what really matters, to set intentions with both your heart and mind—stay open to the opportunities that are coming your way. Stay true to yourself, and trust that the universe is guiding you to where you’re meant to shine.
This full moon isn’t just about our personal transformation; it’s about embracing our role and unique mission on the planet. It’s a reminder that we are both the creator and creation simultaneously. The disruptions stemming from Uranus are almost inevitable and while this can be unsettling, know that they’re ushering in a much-needed awakening and breakthrough.
It’s time to boldly step into your next chapter — don’t be afraid to take up space. The world is shifting — and you, with your unique spark, are a vital part of that transformation. The clarity and courage that arrive now will not only fuel your personal growth but will inspire others along the way.
Read on for your full moon horoscope and reflection, according to your zodiac sign:
Aries
The spotlight is yours, Aries! This full moon in Leo highlights your creative spirit, inviting you to take a bold step into the limelight. Whether it's showcasing your talents and skills or finding new ways to express your passions, this lunation is a call you to claim your sense of belonging in the world. With the sun in Aquarius opposite the moon, expect the unexpected in your social circle — friends and networks might just push you toward the next big thing. The T-square led by Uranus encourages you to break free from any financial or self-worth constraints. Full Moon Reflection: What part of your creative expression is ready for an upgrade? Are you ready to step into the spotlight and share your gifts with the world?
Taurus
This full moon is an invitation to create a healthy balance between your personal and professional life, Taurus. With the sun in Aquarius lighting up your 10th house, you're being called to show up in your professional life while also tending to your emotional foundations. Uranus (in your sign) leads a T-Square, making this a pivotal moment of self-discovery and personal revolution. Changes may occur around your home and family life but it’s important to remember that that these shifts are setting you free. Full Moon Reflection: Is your personal life in alignment with your heart’s desires and/or the person you’re becoming? How can you create a sanctuary that supports your soul’s purpose?
Gemini
February’s full moon brings a moment of clarity, specifically around how you share your ideas with the world, Gemini. For others, this could pertain to siblings, neighbors and peers. In any event, with the sun in your ninth house of expansion, big-picture thinking around travel, philosophy and education could potentially challenge your usual way of thinking. Uranus will also lead a T-square from your 12th house of secrets, signaling a deep internal shift — an awakening of hidden truths and subconscious patterns. This full moon could come with a significant breakthrough, perhaps in your self-expression and communication style. Full Moon Reflection: Are you ready to relay an important message? Are you willing to express yourself fully, even if it feels a little unsettling?
Cancer
Happy full moon – this one’s charging up your second house of money and values, Cancer! More importantly, it’s a call to reflect on everything from your sense of self-worth to your sense of stability. Meanwhile, with the sun in your eighth house, there’s a greater focus on your shared resources and emotional bonds, but Luna is mainly pushing you to re-evaluate what you truly desire and value from these partnerships and joint ventures. Given the influence of Uranus, however, it’s important to keep an open mind as sudden revelations or changes may occur within your social circles. Nevertheless, trust that these shifts are here to set you free. Full Moon Reflection: How can you embrace new ways of feeling valued and supported? What do you need to release for emotional and financial freedom?

Leo
Own the spotlight — this full moon is all about you, Leo. With the moon reaching its peak in your sign, you’re called to fully embrace your authenticity and self-expression. Granted, with the sun hovering over your seventh house of relationships, there could be a greater emphasis on your commitments, contractual agreements, and one-on-one connections. Meanwhile, Uranus will lead a T-square (from your 10th house of authority), pushing you to make bold moves, whether in your personal or professional life. This could potentially create disruptions in your relationships, but it’s liberating you in the process. Full moon reflection: Is your personal revolution aligned with your true, vivacious essence? Are you ready to pursue your purpose?
Virgo
Take a beat, Virgo. February’s full moon is touching down on your 12th house of unconscious patterns, highlighting everything from your hidden desires to emotions you’ve chosen to keep under wraps. With the sun in Aquarius opposing the moon — in your sixth house of daily routines and health habits — expect surprising revelations around your work-life balance or lack thereof. Uranus will also lead a T-Square between the sun and moon (from your ninth house of expansion), triggering a spiritual or intellectual breakthrough as it nudges you toward a deeper understanding of your mission on the planet. Full moon reflection: What subconscious beliefs are you ready to surrender to step into a more authentic and emotionally fulfilled version of yourself?
Libra
Luna is charging up your social sector, making you the ultimate socialite, Libra. Expect a new sense of clarity regarding the people you surround yourself with. With the sun opposite in your fifth house of self-expression, everything from your creativity to your romantic relationship could become a focal point. Meanwhile, with Uranus leading a T-Square (from your eighth house of intimate affairs) there’s a transformative energy surrounding your shared resources and joint ventures. If anything, this lunation is a call to reflect on the impact your social circles have on your personal growth. Full moon reflection: Who are you ready to let go of, and who are you ready to invite into your inner circle? How can you honor your individuality and nurture the right connections?
Scorpio
Take the lead, but most importantly, reflect on whether your work truly aligns with your personal life and vice versa. After all, with the sun in Aquarius shaking up your fourth house of home, family and emotional foundations, you could feel a tug-of-war between your ambitions vs. what’s going on at home. Uranus will also lead a T-Square (from your seventh house) between the sun and moon, signaling abrupt changes and disruptions in your one-on-one relationships. It’s a time to be flexible and open to sudden shifts that can lead you toward a more authentic career path. Full moon reflection: What part of your career path needs to evolve? Are your professional partnerships in alignment with your true calling?

Sagittarius
The full moon ignites your ninth house of expansion, travel and higher education, Sagittarius. However, as the sun journeys through Aquarius and your curious third house of communication and immediate surroundings, expect a balancing act between your big-picture dreams and everyday exchanges. Keep in mind, the influence of Uranus in your sixth house could bring unexpected shifts to your daily rituals and work life, possibly pushing you toward a more unconventional routine.

Full moon reflection: Are you ready to broaden your horizons and take a leap of faith? Are your dreams in alignment with your day-to-day life?
Capricorn
Luna is charging up your eighth house of intimate unions, joint ventures and shared resources, Capricorn. And with the sun in your second house of finances and stability, you’re encouraged to reflect on the balance (or lack thereof) between your personal values and your investment in others. In the meantime, Uranus (in your fifth house of self-expression) leads a T-square between the sun and moon, urging you to break free from patterns that no longer resonate with your authenticity. If anything, this is a pivotal time to release emotional baggage and welcome new ways of merging and bonding. Full moon reflection: What’s keeping you from embracing change in your relationships and financial investments? Do your intimate affairs reflect your core values?
Aquarius
The full moon brings clarity to your closest relationships, Aquarius. Whether romantic or business-related, the sun in your sign (opposite the moon) calls you to reflect on how your identity and personal growth impact the people around you. With your modern ruler, Uranus, in the mix — triggering a T-square between the sun in your sign and the moon in your relationship sector — the change-maker planet could bring surprising shifts to your home life, nudging you toward more freedom and independence. Full moon reflection: Have your commitments and one-on-one relationships been contributing to your growth or holding you back?
Pisces
Fall in love with your routine, Pisces. As the moon peaks in Leo — your sixth house of daily rituals, due diligence and acts of service — you’re gaining insight into the conscious and unconscious patterns surrounding your day-to-day life. This is especially true when considering the sun in Aquarius igniting your 12th house of healing and your life behind the scenes. Moreover, while transiting your third house of the mind, erratic Uranus will lead a T-square between the sun and moon, triggering an influx of ideas, epiphanies and perhaps even some inspiration to embrace a new approach or let go of habits that no longer serve you. Full moon reflection: What stagnant routines and habits are you being called to release? What does a productive and fulfilling day look like for you?
