Full Moon in Leo 1st February 2026
Full moons often get a bad reputation but in reality a full moon isn’t something to fear or control. It’s something to listen to.Then to respond to with a little more honesty, rest, and care.
This full moon sits across the Leo–Aquarius axis, with the Moon in Leo and the Sun in Aquarius.
That tells us where things surface and where the real work of integration happens. Think of this axis as a conversation between the heart and the wider world. Between personal truth and collective awareness.
With the Moon in Leo, feelings want space.
They don’t want to stay tucked away or quietly reasoned through.
They want to be felt, named, and acknowledged.
There’s a pull toward being real, creative, and emotionally brave.
What matters to your heart becomes very clear.
The gift here is knowing what you truly care about.
The challenge is mistaking strong emotion for the whole truth, or looking outside yourself for validation instead of offering it inwardly.
Opposite this, the Aquarius Sun asks you to step back just enough to see the bigger picture.
It’s less about personal stories and more about patterns, meaning, and perspective.
The gift is understanding.
You can see why something is happening, not just feel that it is.
The challenge is distance.
Feeling can be set aside too quickly in favour of logic or detachment.
This full moon asks a simple question:
How do you honour what you feel without losing sight of the whole you’re part of?
Leo says, This matters to me.
Aquarius asks, How does this connect beyond you?
Neither is wrong.
Balance comes when the heart is heard and perspective is kept.
Something to ponder on:
Notice where you want to be seen or acknowledged.
Ask yourself whether you want to express something… or whether you’re looking for reassurance.
Notice where you slip into logic or distance.
Check whether a feeling needs to be felt first, rather than explained away.
Let understanding guide your choices, but don’t mute your heart in the process.
This full moon isn’t asking you to choose between yourself and others.
It’s asking you to hold both with care.
When you do, clarity feels less like being exposed and more like settling into what’s true.
When balanced, this axis supports authentic expression without self-centredness, and clear thinking without emotional suppression.
That’s the quiet work this full moon invites.
Imbolc weaves a softer thread through this Full Moon.
While a Full Moon can feel revealing or heightened, Imbolc reminds us that not all beginnings arrive fully formed.
Some are just a quiet warmth returning, a small inner yes that doesn’t need explaining yet.
This is a moment for tending rather than pushing.
For listening before acting.
For offering care to whatever is starting to stir beneath the surface.
If emotions feel close to the skin, let that be information, not something to manage or fix.
What’s emerging now grows best when it’s protected, not pressured.
Imbolc asks us to keep the flame steady.
To trust small steps.
And to remember that gentle attention is often what allows real change to take root.
Imbolc and Full Moon love
