Astro Dharma
for Cosmic Living

Tuesday - Mars Day
Aquarius Season
Virgo Moon
Waning Gibbous

Uranus is stationing direct in the final degrees of Ta**us today - and we are feeling it.

Over the next two weeks, this electric planet slowly moves forward, activating powerful tension with the upcoming Aquarius New Moon Solar Eclipse.

This is part of the fierce, life-reorganizing astrology of this month.

Today—and this week—pay close attention.

What is shifting beneath the surface?
What wants to change, evolve, or be radically reimagined?

Feelings of anxiety, restlessness, or the urge to break free are not problems - they are messages. Listen gently.

These sensations carry insight about what no longer fits and what wants to be liberated.

Virgo Moon wisdom reminds us: slow down, ground in the body, tend the nervous system:

✨Still yourself.
✨Breathe.
✨Move with intention.
✨Keep your rituals simple and embodied.

Journaling is especially potent now - helping creative, innovative solutions emerge and note-taking future visions that haven’t fully formed yet.

This is an exciting time.
But remember—there is a very fine line between excitement and anxiety.

The body doesn’t always know the difference. So move slowly. Anchor often. Be kind to yourself.

Gentle Alignments
✨Chakra: Root & Solar Plexus
✨Crystal: Smoky Quartz or Moss Agate
✨Herb: Ginger or Tulsi
✨Yoga: Child’s Pose - Slow Sun Salute - Legs Up the Wall

Mantra:
I move with change, not against my body.

Astro Dharma for Lunar Living

The Moon will be in Virgo:
Mon 2/2 10:21p est to

For the next couple of days, the Moon highlights routine, responsibility, and the quiet work of care.

This is a devotional Moon. It reminds us that tending the details of daily life is not mundane - it is sacred. How we show up in the ordinary reveals what we truly value.

✨Grounded, practical, and attentive

Astro Dharma Wisdom
Working Skillfully with Aries Fire

5 Ways to Reap the Benefits of the Saturn/Neptune Transit

We are living inside a powerful threshold.

With Saturn and Neptune activating 0° Aries, the invitation is not reckless action - but right, skillful, and wise action.

Aries brings fire.
Saturn brings responsibility.
Neptune brings soul.

When these energies work together, we can initiate change that actually lasts.

Here are 5 ways to consciously work with this energy and reap its benefits:

1. Act from the Body, Not the Panic

Before making a decision, pause and come back into body.
Feel your feet. Breathe into your belly.

Grounded action is more effective than reactive motion.
If our nervous system isn’t settled, the timing isn’t right.

2. Choose One Brave, Sustainable Step

Aries loves to begin but Saturn reminds us to pace ourselves.

We don’t need to do everything.
We need to do one thing well.

Small, consistent actions build real momentum.

3. Clarify “Why” Before Pushing Forward

Neptune dissolves false motivations.

Ask yourself:

Is this coming from fear or truth?
Is this aligned with my values?
Does this nourish my life force?
When intention is clear, effort becomes lighter.

4. Strengthen nner Authority

This is a time to lead ourself - kindly and firmly.

Set boundaries.
Honor your energy.
Stop outsourcing our power.

Revolution begins when we take responsibility for our own lives.

5. Build Where We Are

Change doesn’t start “out there.”
It starts at home. In community. In daily choices.

Tend our body.
Care for our space.
Support our people.

This is how collective change becomes real.

Cosmic Living Wisdom:

This moment isn’t asking us to fight harder.
It’s asking us to live truer.

Root first.
Then rise.
Then act.

One conscious choice...
One Cosmic Day at a Time.

Monday = Moon Day

Aquarius Sun + Leo Moon
Waning Creacent Phase
Mercury sextile Chiron

Yesterday’s Full Moon may still be echoing through the body and heart. If you’re feeling tender, foggy, emotional, or wrung-out — that’s a Full Moon hangover, and it’s real.

Today isn’t about pushing forward. It’s about feeling, integrating, and gently healing.

Mercury’s supportive connection to Chiron opens a soft pathway for insight and truth — words that soothe, realizations that mend, conversations that help us understand why we feel what we feel.

Let today move at the pace of your nervous system.

Mondays aren’t meant to be a hard launch anyway, ruled by the Moon — Mondays are meant to set the emotional tone for the week.

Let it be a slow, intuitive flow — the kind that actually feels good.

Alignment Support
✨Chakra: Heart & Throat
✨Crystal: Rose Quartz or Blue Lace Agate
✨Herb: Chamomile or Lavender
✨Yoga: Gentle Heart Openers, Cat–Cow, Seated Twist

Reflection Prompt
What is my body asking for today — not my to-do list?

Mantra
I move at the speed of my truth.
Slow is sacred.

Leo Full Moon
Astro Dharma Wisdom

Where is YOUR heart asking to be heard?

This Leo Full Moon invites us back into the heart - not as performance, but as presence.

As emotions rise, we’re reminded that authentic self-expression is not separate from collective healing; it’s part of it.

When we honor our feelings with courage and care, we help stabilize the wider field.

With Pluto moving through Aquarius, the world is changing fast - and this Full Moon asks us to stay human inside that change.

Let what surfaces be felt and expressed gently. We don’t rush for answers under a Full Moon. We listen, integrate, and tend the inner fire.

———⭐️

Wherever this Full Moon falls in your chart, it invites heart-centered awareness - not immediate action. Let what surfaces inform you. Integration unfolds over time.

Aquarius Sun ✧ Leo Moon
Building to the Full Moon
(exact at 5:09 PM EST)

Today brings a moment of realization and culmination. The Aquarius Sun and Leo Moon face one another, asking for balance between your unique, radiant self and your role in the collective.

This Full Moon shines a light on the question:

How do you fully express who you are - your creativity, courage, joy, and heart while also being of service to the greater whole?

In a world changing at lightning speed, this lunation reminds us that transformation doesn’t only happen “out there.”

It happens within and then radiates outward.

Let yourself be seen.
Let yourself shine.
Your authenticity is not separate from the revolution—it is the medicine.

Leo Full Moon Ritual
Feb 1st - 5:09p - 13 degree

Heart Courage
Creative Fire
Collective Balance

This Leo Full Moon invites us to tend the inner fire - the place where courage, creativity, and compassion live together.

With Pluto moving through Aquarius and the collective field feeling charged, this ritual anchors us in heart-centered power rather than reactivity.

We work with Sunstone for solar vitality, Moonstone for emotional wisdom, and Labradorite for Aquarian balance, holding both self-expression and collective awareness at once.

What You’ll Need:

✨Sunstone (Sun / Leo / vitality)
⭐️Moonstone (Moon / emotional truth)
✨Labradorite (Aquarius / balance / nervous system)
⭐️One candle in orange, yellow, or gold
✨Ginger (as tea, incense, or essential oil)
⭐️Optional: journal, matches, a comfortable seat or mat

Setting the Space:

Begin by lighting your candle, acknowledging the Sun/Moon opposition - light and reflection, action and feeling.

Place:
Sunstone on or near your solar plexus
Moonstone near your heart
Labradorite between them, or in your hands, as the bridge

Prepare your ginger tea or light the ginger incense, or put ginger essential oil on your palms and vigorously rub together, and bring up to nose - deep breath in... inviting warmth, circulation, and embodied presence.

Take a few slow breaths.

Lion’s Breath (Simhasana) — Leo Medicine

✨Come into a comfortable seated position or kneeling.
⭐️Inhale deeply through the nose.
✨Exhale strongly through the mouth, sticking out the tongue, opening the eyes wide - Lion’s Breath.
⭐️Let sound, tension, and held emotion release.
✨Repeat 3–5 times, letting each exhale clear the chest and belly.
(google Lion's Breath for video instructions! - or ask your yoga teacher to teach you how!)

This practice activates Leo courage, clears suppressed emotion, and wakes up the heart-fire. So perfect for this time!

Happy Leo Full Moon

Aquarius Sun,
Cancer Moon
Waxing Gibbous - building toward tomorrow’s Leo Full Moon.

Today is a feeling day. Pay attention to what’s stirring emotionally, because your emotions are carrying information.

Something is ripening, asking to be felt before it can be fully expressed. What’s been growing quietly inside you is moving toward visibility and culmination.

With Venus quincunx Jupiter, restlessness and indecision can arise around pleasure, love, and putting yourself out there.

There may be a strong desire for more affection, more beauty, more enjoyment - while also realizing that “too much” won’t actually satisfy.

Relationships can feel a bit awkward or out of rhythm, inviting small adjustments rather than big declarations.

Astro Dharma:
Listen to your feelings without reacting to them. Nourish yourself simply. Let today inform tomorrow.

Fun Alignment:

Chakra Heart
Herb: Chamomile
Crystal: Moonstone
Yoga: Child’s Pose

Leo Full Moon | Astro Dharma Tips
Feb 1st, 2026 5:09p est 13 degrees

1. Let the heart speak before the mind edits: You don’t need the perfect words yet. Name what you feel... gently, honestly, and trust that clarity will come later.

2. Express without demanding outcomes: This Full Moon is about expression, not resolution. Share your truth without insisting it be immediately understood or agreed with.

3. Take up space - Not take over: Honor your need to be seen while staying aware of the shared field. Healthy Leo energy shines; it doesn’t dominate.

4. Choose joy as a stabilizing practice: Joy is not frivolous right now, it’s grounding. Creative pleasure helps regulate the nervous system and restore balance.

5. Create something just because your heart wants to: Make art, move your body, sing, write, play. No audience. No productivity. Let expression be enough.

6. Notice where belonging has cost you authenticity: This Full Moon gently reveals where you’ve been editing yourself to stay connected. Awareness is the medicine.

7. Speak from the heart and then pause: Say what’s true, then give yourself time to integrate. Full Moon emotions are real, but not always final.

8. Tend the heart, not the drama.
Care for what’s underneath the feelings rather than feeding emotional intensity. Compassion is the container.

9. Balance visibility with rest: After expression comes restoration. Leo opens the heart; Aquarius reminds us to step back and observe.

10. Trust what’s surfacing — it’s part of a longer story: This Full Moon is an early chapter in a larger unfolding. You don’t need to know the ending to honor what’s rising now.

This Leo Full Moon reminds us that authentic expression is a form of devotion. When we live from the heart - with awareness, care, and connection - we help stabilize both ourselves and the collective.

One cosmic day at a time.

for Cosmic Living
Friday · Venus Day
Aquarius Sun Season
Cancer Moon - Waxing Gibbous

Aquarius Season carries a soft but powerful be the change you wish to see frequency.

With the Moon waxing in Cancer, self-nurturing isn’t indulgent - it’s necessary.

When we tend to our own emotional waters, we naturally become more resourced, compassionate, and available for others.

Take the break. Make the soup. Rest your nervous system. Care is contagious.

Mercury is quincunx Jupiter, reminding us that our minds may be stretching in two directions at once - big ideas, big feelings, but not all the pieces fit neatly yet.

This is not a day to force clarity or over-explain. Adjust expectations, simplify communication, and let intuition fill in the gaps. Gentle recalibration > grand declarations.

Reflection Prompts
✨Where do I need to nurture myself before showing up for others?
✨What belief or perspective needs a small adjustment - not a total overhaul?
✨How can I lead by example through care, not effort?

Cosmic Alignment
✨Chakra: Heart & Sacral
✨Crystal: Moonstone or Rose Quartz
✨Herb: Chamomile or Oatstraw
✨Yoga: Child’s Pose, Gentle Side-Lying Twists, Heart-Opening Restoratives

Mantra
When I care for myself, love moves through me naturally.
