Full Moons are a culmination of energy.
Today’s full moon in fire sign Leo brings a turning point in a cycle that began August 8, 2021 with the new moon in Leo.
Every full moon is linked to a new moon that occurred in the same sign 6 moons earlier. The full moon is a time of blossoming, when the seeds you planted for the corresponding new moon six moons ago come to fullness and you can see them taking shape. This is a great time to harvest lessons, give thanks for all that has unfolded, and let go of anything you don’t need to hold onto anymore.
After the full moon, the moon in Leo will become smaller each cycle, until it is new in Leo again. Think of it like climbing a mountain - the new moon is the start of the climb, the full moon is when you reach the top, and then you descend the mountain again until the next new moon in that same astrological sign. It helps to remind us that big dreams take big energy to manifest, and witnessing yourself over the course of a year can help you get the most out of your personal growth work and goal setting practice.
