There’s magic in the air.
The first full moon of 2024 is nearly upon us, and with it comes an abundance of creative energy, exciting plans, and, perhaps, some problems.
Thursday, January 25th, at 12:54 p.m. ET or 6:54 p.m. CET, will bring the full Wolf Moon, following December’s Cold Moon.
This astronomical event signifies completion and fulfillment since the full moon always happens at the end of a lunar cycle that lasts for one month. Because of this, it’s a great time to wrap up loose ends and plan for the future.
Full moons have a way of revealing hidden truths, both literally and metaphorically. Experiencing strong emotions and high energies can make it feel even more so.
Naturally, the astrological placement of the moon determines which zodiac sign it will be in at any given time, which contributes to the mystique and magic associated with each full moon. Be on the lookout for drama this month, as the full moon will rise in a fiery sign.
The Spiritual Meaning of the Wolf Full Moon in Leo, January 2024
Because of its association with the Sun, Leo serves as a reminder of the unity that binds us. Among the zodiac signs, Leo stands out as the archetypal lion. In it, you can feel the power of love, vulnerability, compassion, and leadership. Now, with the full Moon in Leo, it’s time to reveal your inner light and embrace it wholeheartedly, without worrying about what others may think. By the end of it, you will know how to love yourself with an intensity that will break the world.
The full Moon is governed by Leo’s energy, which tells us to listen to our inside voices. In order to acknowledge this, one must be brave and vulnerable. Listening to and acting on our hearts’ desires isn’t always a stretch. Oftentimes, our minds will try to persuade us that their own plans are safer than our external ones.
Right now, under this full Moon, it’s important to follow your heart’s guidance, even if you don’t know what that path is. It’s an opportunity to listen to your heart’s direction through your feelings and allow it to provide you with the answers you’ve been seeking. The frequency of the heart’s energetic field reaches far beyond our physical selves and is able to affect those in our immediate vicinity. Take care of it and be true to yourself—that’s what the full Moon in Leo is pushing us to do.
Listening is an important part of caring for the heart. Yet, adhering to it might leave us feeling exposed. Heart does not come with neatly organized spreadsheets that show us the precise path our decisions will take. A person’s emotions can be irrational, chaotic, and difficult to fathom. The emotions of happiness, love, compassion, and appreciation are contained within. Therein are stored all of our sentiments, including sorrow, remorse, and terror.
If we want to listen to and magnify the heart’s good vibrations, we have to be open to listening to and understanding everything else the heart has to offer. When we let ourselves be vulnerable, we can’t help but feel all the good things. Standing in the midst of it all can make us feel exposed, overwhelmed, and even embarrassed. True strength and bravery are qualities that Leo teaches us to embody. It serves as a gentle reminder that we are capable of lovingly and compassionately addressing any inner demons.
Do yourself a favor and tune in to your inner voice during this full Moon in Leo. Express yourself emotionally by feeling what you’ve been avoiding or denying. Breathe into your heart and tune it out any interference from your mind.
Much of our identity is based on the mistaken belief that the mind is essential. Even though our rational minds would have us believe otherwise, it is our emotional selves that motivate us to take action. If we follow our hearts, they will lead us in the right path and offer us access to boundless wisdom. Thinking is just a passenger.
Additionally, Leo is linked to the vitality of play and youthful enthusiasm. It reopens old scars from our childhood traumatization regarding love, approval, and bravery. At this full Moon in Leo, it is astrologically ideal to start loving yourself unconditionally now. Appreciating yourself just as you are is the first step. In order to be loved, you are not required to do anything, achieve anything, or offer anything. Remind yourself of how wonderful and beautiful you already are. Being in harmony with Leo will always remind you that you are deserving of love.
How the Sun in Aquarius Influences the Full Moon in Leo
Since the Sun is in Aquarius at the time of the full Moon in Leo, we are also utilizing the energy of that sign. There is a lot of energetic contrast between Leo and Aquarius, which is reflected in their astrological opposition. Yet there are numerous shared characteristics as well.
As energy beings with our own unique energetic field and frequency, we learn this during the Aquarius season. As Leo points out, our hearts beat at a higher frequency than any other organ or tissue in our bodies, and they are also the focal point of our energetic fields. Just like emotional energies, astrological energies can be vibrated at higher and lower frequencies. Imagine the 12 signs of the zodiac as a frequency spectrum.
• Leo Vibes
Leo’s higher frequencies include benevolent leadership. We resonate with courage, compassion, empathy, and honor through Leo. This high side of Leo lets us hear our hearts without judgment. We listen with love alone. We accept and love every part of ourselves.
We also express ourselves freely without fear of rejection. In this high state of Leo, we embody the confidence and poise of a great leader who accepts but does not need approval. Unrestrained by the ego, we share our highest self with the world.
When working with Leo vibrations, we face his shadow, the ego. Our ego wants to be defined. Our self-identity includes our lifelong conditioning. Our inner critic, self-defeating thoughts, and feeling isolated are also part of it. The ego can prevent us from being ourselves. It involves how we “should” act and how others “should” treat us.
Fear fuels the ego, which can lead us down dark paths of needing constant validation and approval of our public expression. Our ego should motivate us, remind us of our purpose, and help us function in society. We shouldn’t let it rule us. This full Moon in Leo allows us to recognize when the ego has taken over and closed the heart in its quest to define our existence. The higher self opposes the ego.
We are connected to everyone and everything through our highest self. Moving from the higher self eliminates the need to compare or compete. We don’t feel insecure or unworthy without separation. This place gives us fulfillment and confidence in everything we do. To stay in the higher self, we must be aware of when the ego takes over and redirect our energy toward compassion, love, and connection.
We become demanding, need approval, and feel insecure when we align with Leo’s shadow. Instead of feeling powerful, we seek approval. For attention and self-confidence, we can even cause drama in our lives and others’.
• Aquarius Vibes
Aquarius’s lower vibrations make us overly judgmental and critical of others, especially authority figures. Complaining and withdrawing from the world instead of changing it. We withdraw from love and acceptance and become aloof. We hide our energy while dominating others.
Find places in your life where you may be aligning with lower vibrations and accept them without judgment. Accepting them helps you recognize the behavior. When we enter Aquarius’ highest frequencies, we realize we are part of a greater whole. We want to spread love and acceptance to improve the world.
We can vibrate higher than ever with this pair. We learn to express love and gratitude instead of judgment or neediness. We represent the true Aquarius age, when everyone contributes their talents and works together for the planet. On this full Moon in Leo, feel what your heart wants to share and bravely live its message.
Astrology of the Wolf Full Moon in Leo, January 2024
Uranus stations direct the day before the full Moon in Leo. As a result, Uranus, the planet of transformation and Aquarius’ planetary ruler, will be very busy. What this also implies is that until April 1st, every planet will be in a direct station. Jupiter in Taurus forms a square aspect with the full Moon in Leo. At long last, the full Moon in Leo is impacted by Pluto’s influence, which is currently in Aquarius.
• Uranus Stations Direct in Taurus
Uranus activation breaks heart and ego patterns. Today you may feel more triggered or see your actions more clearly. Limiting beliefs may be highlighted to your attention. On this full Moon, observe emotions to see if they indicate a breaking pattern. If so, treat yourself with compassion and work to release what no longer serves you.
As Uranus approaches direct motion, cosmic energy increases. The time of year when all planets move forwards speeds up our nervous system. Notice if you feel rushed or pressured. Take a deep breath and make decisions without pressure. We have February and March to use forward momentum.
Note your resounding yeses during this time. You can easily overextend during this time. Make sure you’ll still say yes in six months. Clarify your commitments and focus. To achieve some of your dreams, set clear boundaries and say no. Develop a daily practice and mantras to clarify where you’re focusing your energy for the day.
• Full Moon in Leo Square Jupiter
Squares strain until a breakthrough. Jupiter symbolizes growth, luck, and abundance. This giant planet squares the full Moon, which may resist life expansion. This full Moon invites you to shine. Take up your rightful place. You should assert your power. Where are you not doing those things?
You may be triggered by expansion or power situations. You may feel emotions unexpectedly when these topics arise. Note where you feel tension, energy, and emotions. There is learning and breakthrough potential.
The Jupiter square also shows limitations. Leo full Moon themes reveal egos. You become limited in these situations because you are so attached to how others see you or how you define yourself. This full Moon may show how holding onto behaviors that make you feel like you fit in with others or a box is keeping you from being your best.
Aquarius and Leo teach us that true belonging comes from self-alignment and a community that accepts us. We find authentic leadership by being ourselves, even if it’s vulnerable. Use this Leo full Moon to shed identity layers that are holding you back from being your true self. Be yourself and attract people who like you, not your ego.
• Pluto in Aquarius
Pluto entered Aquarius at the start of the next two decades. Moon opposes planet, Sun neighbors it. Pluto helps with past healing. It explains our life cycles, choices, and lessons. We change with this understanding.
Experience this planet’s energy helping you break old patterns that keep you in pain. Pluto helps us transform our pain into power so we can achieve our goals. Ask yourself what you must transmute to gain power. Though you can’t change your past, you can shape your present.
How to Use the Power of the Wolf Full Moon in Leo, January 2024
1. Set fire to what you want to release
Fire is a powerful element, so incorporate it into your full moon rituals whenever it’s in a fire sign. So, gather all the things you wish to release and burn them (carefully, of course!) in a bowl. When alchemizing elements, it’s helpful to have a glass of water on hand.
2. Do some journaling
A new collective era is about to begin, what with Pluto entering Aquarius and Uranus ending its retrograde phase. Take some time to write in your journal about these planetary shifts in the grand scheme of things, thinking about how you wish to contribute to the group.
Imagine how you are contributing, on a personal level, to the impending renaissance in awareness, religion, science, and space travel.
3. Embrace Your Inner Light
Now, under the light of this Full Moon, is the ideal time to reignite the fire within you and reconnect with your most profound aspirations and goals in life.
Allow this Full Moon to serve as a gentle reminder to rediscover what truly motivates you, whether it’s pursuing your passions or reconnecting with your inner fire. Think on the things that you enjoy doing and the things that make you happy.
4. Rediscover Your Passions
If you aren’t sure what you’re passionate about, make a list of all the things you enjoy. Make an effort to compile a list of fifty things. When you challenge yourself in this way, you may find that you have hidden passions that you never knew existed.
The last item on such lists is often a surprise. Explore thoroughly; our genuine interests may lie dormant beneath the surface of our mundane lives.
Final Words
Keep in mind that the full Moon in Leo encourages you to respect your authority. You can tap into your higher self—the genuine union of Leo and Aquarius and their respective frequencies—as you engage with the full Moon.
During this Leo full Moon, consider how you might be harmonizing with the sign’s lower vibration. Is it something you feel you have to prove to get love? Does love come to you freely? Does being authentic make you feel like you deserve love?
Being in Leo, with its lower vibration, causes us to lose touch with our emotions and join the ego’s illusions. This full Moon, take some time to reflect on how you might be harmonizing with the Leo vibrations. Do not be too hard on yourself. Making a snap judgment might bring your vibration tumbling even lower. Rather, embrace these aspects of your identity and make room for them in your self-awareness. Upon becoming conscious of your shadow sides, you swiftly gain control over them, allowing them to cease controlling you.
Determine the future you are willing to embrace, make sure it is in harmony with your deepest values, and then go for it. That moment has come. When the Moon is full in Leo, it can be a sign that you need to peel back the layers that have been hiding your true light. In the end, it aids in discovering who you are, what you love, and how you wish to share your story with the world.
