This expansive full moon heralds the gateway to Eclipse Season and an awakening of the Heart Chakra. It falls in the magnanimous sign of Leo, bringing fixed fire creative energy that activates the heart/mind axis.
This Moon calls for alignment in heart listening and intuitive mind messages. It’s the lunar event that generates pressure on new projects and endeavours, asking us to release old fears and resistance to success. Leo asks for bravery in the new, whilst disengaging from projects that don’t energise or open the heart space.
Alignment is key! In the upcoming movement into the Year of the Fire Horse (on February 17th), alignment moves us into prime position, whilst rushing or forging will lead to burn out and angst. This Eclipse guides the way, seeking a strong channel of communication between the heart and Higher Self.
The pressure is building in this momentous year. Neptune moved from Pisces into Aries on January 26th (this last occurred in 1875). We are moving from the dreamy waters of Pisces into the fiery, initiatory vibes of Aries. This signals a new fourteen year cycle, planting new seeds, writing new stories and walking new paths (individually and collectively).
Following this, Saturn moves into Aries on February 13th. Saturn (the Master teacher of discipline and responsibility) deepens the focus on the fire element bringing a lot of collective tension and awakenings. There is no more hiding when these two major planets shift into the sign of the Ram. It’s time to step out, step up and be reinvigorated and birthed by fire!
With all this fire energy moving through the cosmos, its easy to boil over with bursts of creativity, irritation, anger and impatience. Fire energy needs to be rooted in grounded action, not reckless or impulsive, but with powerful and purposeful strokes. Don’t tame the fire, let it move through you with intention and clarity.
Take care and enjoy the energies,
The Lotus Sisters xoxo
