Full Moon in Leo | Thursday, February 17

Full Moon in Leo | Thursday, February 17th | 13:46 PM | Bali Time

Leo Mantra: I will
Element: Fire
Quality: Fixed
Ruling Planet: Sun

The more I listen to my heart, the more authentic I show myself.

Are you Being True to Yourself? The brightest Full Moon is here, to remind us the importance to connect with our authenticity, the Full Moon in Leo.  

Leo rules the heart, so this event is a perfect time to be aware of what our heart desires. But first, let’s remember what happens on a Full Moon. This event announces the end of a lunar cycle, a moment of clarity to release the old, a culmination time. A powerful time for inner work, healing, shifting blocks, and shedding the past. The Full Moon is also the ideal time to practice forgiveness and gratitude. No matter your personal Sun Sign, we are all affected by the astrological energy of each Full Moon.

The Full Moon on Wednesday will be in the sign of Leo, the sign that gives us the courage to show us as we are, represented by the lion. Leo is ruled by the sun, it invites us to connect with our life purpose, with our vitality and creativity. Leos like to be the center of attention and they often are. Leo is also the drama king or queen of the zodiac. Wherever you have Leo in your chart, you can stand out.

When Leo meets the Full Moon, is a perfect moment to connect with our heart and be honest with ourselves about who we really are, is a good time to get back in touch with our humility.

Ask yourself: Who you are? Do you act as others want you to be? Are you following your heart´s or ego´s desires? (be honest with yourself)

Remember, this Full Moon is a time to be true to ourselves, to put who I am first. It's a time to come into your own power, radiate your authentic truth and lead with your heart. Try to don’t fall into the low vibe of Leo and use this energy to be dramatic.

I would love to share a ritual and a powerful meditation for this full moon:

You need a white paper, a candle, matches, and a white plate.

  1. First, in a white paper, write all those prejudices or fears that do not allow you to be authentic with yourself.

  2. Then burn that paper on the white plate, be careful.

  3. Finally, light your candle, put your hands on your heart, and let's practice one of the most powerful meditation techniques to connect with the flame of our heart and to increase mental clarity, Trataka meditation.

Trataka, which in Sanskrit means “to look” or “to gaze”, is an ancient practice meditation used in Ayurvedic medicine that involves focusing the eyes on an external object. This meditation will help you to purify and connect with the light inside you.

  • Sit in a comfortable position.

  • Take a few deep breaths, relaxing your mind into your body.

  • Gaze at the tip of the candle flame, the brightest part, without blinking.  Continue to gaze until your eyes start to water or for up to 30 seconds.

  • Then close your eyes and gently concentrate on the image of the flame that may still be present against your eyelids, or imagine the candle flame if the image disappears.

  • Concentrate here for 1 min.

  • Repeat this process 3 more times.

Try to imagine that the candle flame is burning bright in your heart space, symbolic of the light inside you.

When you finish, read this affirmation three times:

“I am the first to recognize how much I am worth”

I wish that this Full Moon allows your heart to speak your truth!   

Happy Full Moon in Leo!
