Full Moon in Leo 2026

On February 1st at 2:09 PM PST the Full Snow Moon arrives! Indigenous people called it this as typically this Moon appears we have our deepest cold snap for the season. This year is no exception with many states experiencing their coldest season in years.

Leo is a Fixed Fire sign; Fixed as it lands in the second month of Summer, and the Fire element strongest as Leo is ruled by the Sun. The Sun is in Aquarius now, and the Moon is exactly opposite it at 13 degrees Leo 4 minutes. When we have a Full Moon we look in hindsight at what we were hoping for, planning for, when the Moon was New. On July 24th of 2025 the New Moon in Leo was asking us, “what is your passion?” Leo rules our authentic self, the version of us that wishes to leave our mark upon the world.  Creativity comes in many forms; the most beautiful one having children. Their unbroken spirit shows us how to play, their self expression doesn’t judge the outcome, and they automatically lean toward their reason for coming here. Art, music and imagination soar when we have patience with our abilities, and improve upon them. The key is to follow the vision of your creation with an open heart.

On this Full Moon there are many planetary aspects at work. Not only does the Moon oppose the Sun, but also Venus and Mars in Aquarius. When Venus is in this sign we love to engage with others intellectually, sharing what we care most about. But the Moon in Leo is more concerned with the self's’ fulfillment. Here’s the rub.You can have conflicting emotional desires and needs which complicate your personal life. You may feel that you cannot depend on your love partner to take care of you or perhaps you cannot decide what you really want in a love relationship. If your needs for emotional sustenance and love are not satisfied, overeating (especially sweets) can be a problem now. This opposition is a balancing act of self/others comfort, so take a deep dive and get a sure footing.

The opposition from Mars to the Moon can make for temper tantrums. When Mars is in Aquarius the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the one. You may want to gather the troops and right the social wrongs, rebel against conformity, and search for freedom for yourself and others. We can be very temperamental and impatient now, and can be very difficult to live with. Watch out for becoming irritable and bad tempered if you do not have enough vigorous physical activities or other outlets for your aggressive, feisty spirit. You can use this opposition to excuse yourself if you need to and reassess why you feel hurt. Then prioritize your actions to show your authentic feelings without blowing someone away with anger or misunderstandings.

While the Moon opposes Venus and Mars, Jupiter in Cancer inconjuncts them. This aspect asks for an adjustment, an understanding of differences. Jupiter expands energy and in Cancer, the home, family, and security are paramount. The goal being more, bigger, better for all involved. The friction comes from Venus’s need for pleasure, comfort, and unmet needs. This aspect creates tension, pushing for growth in areas of love, money, and self-worth, but often with friction, requiring conscious effort to balance abundance with true contentment.

When Jupiter, the planet of growth and expansion inconjuncts Mars, the aggressive planet of action, we can rush ahead without forethought. We can spread ourselves too thin, rush, overdo things if we don’t pay attention. Try not to take on too many projects at once; your energy could get scattered and you might not finish what you start. Avoid making major financial investments or purchases; your judgment might be a bit off under this influence.

So there you have it! It’s time to stabilize your life through considering you are the center of your universe, creating the next step with justice, fairness and love for yourself and others. It all depends on you, what you believe you are worthy of in this lifetime. Shoot for the stars!
