Hi friends,
It’s time to us our voices for the power they truly hold.
And the Leo Full Moon on February 12th, 2025, wants to help us do just that.
This Full Moon will shine brightly in Leo, igniting an energy that encourages self-expression, courage, and bold action.
Full moons are always a time of culmination, bringing things to fruition, shedding light on the hidden, and encouraging us to release what no longer serves us. The Leo Full Moon, however, brings an added layer of vitality and strength, pushing us to embrace the spotlight and speak up—both for ourselves and for others.
And if you are paying attention to what is happening here in the Unites States, and elsewhere around the world, you know there is good reason for us to use our voices to support each other.

BOLD LIKE A LEO
As the fixed Fire sign, and represented by the lion, Leos’ are known for their brave and bold expression, self-confidence, self-expression, creativity and courageous love. The kind of bold and unconditional love that shines so much brighter than hate ever could. Associated with the Heart Chakra, Leo knows that authenticity is an expression of unconditional love for oneself and for the world.
Leos are known for their ability to stand in the spotlight, exuding warmth, generosity, and that contagious, unapologetic confidence, that is just so gloriously Leo. But as a fixed sign, once Leo has set their sights on something, they’re not easily swayed away from it. While that can lead to strong, consistent leadership, it can also veer into stubbornness or an inflated sense of ego if not kept in check.
Leo’s energy helps us tap into our inner strength and courage, asking us to step forward unapologetically and showcase our talents. It's a sign that thrives on authenticity and self-expression.
But like all signs, Leo has its shadow side. The negative traits of Leo energy can include arrogance, selfishness, and an overblown ego. Sometimes, Leo’s desire for attention and validation can lead to drama or a tendency to overshadow others.
Ruled by the Sun, Leo is associated with creativity, passion, and a desire for recognition. Yet Leo is not just about personal glory. This sign also governs the heart, symbolizing love, generosity, and the will to advocate for ourselves and those we care about.
Which is a good thing, because heart-driven advocacy and love-filled communities are required for us to continue moving forward with our values intact.
SAY IT LOUDER
This Leo Full Moon, is encouraging us to speak up—not just for ourselves but for others too. Especially those who are being unjustly targeted and unethically scapegoated. Which is easy to see happening here in the US right now. So if there’s a part of you that’s been holding back from standing up for a cause you believe in, now’s the time to let your voice roar.
Now this doesn’t mean taking to social media to vlog your opinions outward (unless that’s feeling in alignment for you, in which case, have at it!) - but it does mean speaking up and sharing your truth when you have the opportunity to do so. It means staying true to yourself and your values, regardless of what changing laws in any land state.
And I just want to speak up and share my values loudly and proudly - values that view all humans as humans, regardless of gender identity, sexual preference, religion, color of skin, immigration status, or country one was born in. Values that know it’s always wrong to scapegoat and take rights away from people. And if for some reason these values offend you, you are more than welcome to align yourself elsewhere with those who’s values you do share. (There’s my Mercury in Leo using her voice this lunation!)
This Leo Full Moon doesn’t want you just advocating for others though. If there’s a part of you that’s been holding back from expressing your needs and desires, this lunation will help you let that go.
The Leo Full Moon offers us the courage to push past our comfort zone and speak our truth. Maybe you’ve been quiet when you should’ve been vocal. Maybe you’ve been waiting for the perfect moment to step into your own leadership. Leo energy says, “The time is now.”
Leo’s fire wants us to remember that it’s okay to be bold, even if it feels uncomfortable at first. It’s not about being loud for the sake of being heard—it’s about knowing that our voices matters, and they deserve to be heard.
It’s also important to note that to be courageous does not imply to be without fear. Instead to be courageous, to me, implies moving forward despite the fear. So if you feel afraid to share your voice, know that fear is the first step in bringing forward your courage as well, and remember your power of choice.
heart, throat, third eye
When I felt in intuitively to the energies of this Leo Full Moon, the three chakras that “dinged” for me were the Heart, Throat and Third Eye chakras. I first felt a strong pulsing sensation on the right side of my throat, both front and back and saw the word, advocate, as I got a sense of courage to speak up for ourselves and others.
Then I was taken to the Third Eye and received the messages to hold the vision of a world where we are safe to express our Heart’s expression and our authentic truth. And that we can each maintain the safety within ourselves, and within our communities*, against any who might try to claim it. There was an understanding that we are building something foundational right now, as we are rooting in with others who share similar visions and values, and that our time and energy is best spent focusing on what we can build within our communities.
*If you’re looking for a community space where you can feel invited to share your authentic expression, please check out THE INTUITIVE MOON COMMUNITY.
With the Moon in Leo, illuminated by the Sun in Aquarius, we are tasked with balancing our personal need for authenticity and creative expression (Leo) with our impersonal, and more collective need for innovative progress (Aquarius). While Leo is focused on the craft of actual authentic expressing, Aquarius sets the scene to ensure diverse and authentic expression is welcomed to begin with.
So, with external forces at play attempting to deny us our rights of free expression, this Leo Full Moon may have us feeling particularly fired up to speak up and out, demanding human rights for all.
This lunation also reminds us not to forget that our voices also have the power to claim or deny energies within our own lives too. So one way to work with the enegies of this lunation is to use our words wisely and intentionally.
[For those who like to work with music and dance during your Moon practices, there were two songs that came into my head while I was working on this Moonblog: 1) Falling Slowly, by Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova from the movie Once and 2) Let’s Get Loud by Jennifer Lopez (lol)]

I’m also on IG, YouTube and TikTok:
This full moon is forming a square to Uranus, which may bring frustrating sudden changes. Sometimes with Uranus, the sudden changes are fun, exciting, and welcomed. Not so much with this connection.
It may challenge the way we express ourselves, perhaps creating tension between our self worth and our freedom. Are there ways we are preventing ourselves from showing up fully because we’re afraid of the external response?
Some unexpected emotions might come up that may have you wanting to hide. But confronting those emotions head on and figuring out where they stem from is how you can get past them and show up authentically and confidently.
Mercury is also activated with this Moon so taking to journaling or talking through these emotions with someone you feel safe with can really help get to the root of them.
