Saturday at 11:38 pm EST is the Leo Full Moon — the yearly opposition between the Sun in Aquarius and the Moon in Leo. This particular Leo Full Moon is raising questions around being our own authority, especially involving our sexual identity and healing. Where do you take ownership in your life and where do you give your power away?
To broaden those questions, how do we contribute to healing the sexual or emotional abuse pain that permeates our culture’s collective consciousness? How do we claim our sexual identity?
On one side, the Aquarius Sun is conjunct an asteroid called Ophelia, highlighting our frequent mistrust of our value to others, especially in terms of having our sexual value recognized and respected. In Aquarius, the sign of the group, this aspect touches on a collective wound brought up for healing. Opposite the Sun, the Moon is in Leo conjunct the asteroid Askalaphus, which brings with it a message of healing the collective through healing our personal material.
Where Aquarius is about the collective, Leo is about self. The Sun and Moon opposed along this axis is asking how our authentic self can influence the collective — and what impact the collective has on us. This Leo Full Moon is an opportunity to impact the emotional collective through focusing on healing our material around sexual value and identity.
