First Full Moon for 2024 - Listen to your heart it will lead you this year

January 25, 2024 - The first full Moon of 2024 occurs in Leo, greeting us at the start of Aquarius season. While Aquarius teaches us to shift the collective consciousness by being ourselves, Leo helps us decide what that means. It helps us feel our truth. The full Moon in Leo is a time of both celebration and revelation, when we can honor the steps we have made and see what in our lives needs attention to shift.
It embodies the energies of leadership, compassion, vulnerability, strength, and love. The full Moon in Leo is the time to find what makes you shine your brightest and embrace that part of yourself despite any fear of rejection. It teaches you to love yourself fiercely and let love change the world.
With Leo’s energy governing the full Moon, we are encouraged to focus on the heart’s truth. Acknowledging this takes courage and vulnerability. It’s not always easy to listen to and follow our hearts. Our mind often has different plans and will try to convince us that these plans are safer.
This full Moon is the time to listen to the heart and follow its lead, even if we are unsure of the road ahead. It’s a time to feel the guidance of the heart through our emotions and let it give us the answers we’ve been looking for all along. The heart’s energetic field extends far past our bodies and influences others around us through its frequency. The full Moon in Leo reminds us to tend to it and accurately represent who we are at our cores.
To feel and amplify the positive vibrations of the heart, we must also be willing to feel and understand everything else the heart holds. We cannot open our hearts and feel only the good things. We have to stand in the presence of all of it, which can make us feel scared, vulnerable, and even ashamed. Leo teaches us to show up for ourselves with courage and strength. It reminds us that we can face anything within ourselves with love and compassion.
Over the full Moon in Leo, find some time to sit with yourself and listen to your heart. Feel what you’ve avoided or shut down in your heart. Breathe into your heart and listen to it without the mind and its thoughts interfering.
We often think the mind is the center of our beings. The mind would like to trick us into thinking it is in control, but the heart is the one that leads us forward. The heart knows the direction we must travel to align with our life’s purpose, and the heart knows how to tap into infinite wisdom. The mind is simply along for the ride.
Leo is also associated with the energy of play and children. It brings out our wounds around love, approval, and courage created in childhood. The full Moon in Leo is the perfect time to begin developing love for yourself without conditions. It begins by loving yourself for being you. You do not need to do anything, accomplish anything, or create anything to be loved.
Remind yourself of your inherent beauty and perfection. Align with Leo to know you are worthy of love, always.
Love and Light
