This Full Moon holds a special spot in the cosmic skies, because it falls in the heart-expanding sign of Leo. It is our opportunity to reset, purge, and cleanse the energies of the year gone by. It is our opportunity to create space for the future we wish to create.
A fiery, passionate and heartful Full Moon rises on 12 February 2025, at 25th degree Leo. Leo rules the heart, making this a lunation one to stay close to the ones we love and yearn to protect.
Emotions and dramas run high at any full moon. They tend to go over the top when Leo’s involved. Leo is warm and fiery and fixed, which makes whatever it experiences and expresses stay put and grow. Confident, proud, self-oriented, it’s comfortable with attention and has a way of drawing more if it thinks it’s not getting enough.
Full Moons are always about release and it may also be a good time to look at what and who we need to let go of in our lives. This sign has the beautiful flaw of allowing its loyalty to be pushed to the limit, which only results in sore hearts and blazing tempers. With this Full Moon, it’s a moment to take stock and only give our loyalty to those who truly deserve it.
Choices and decisions are also often made during a Full Moon, and it’s common to see themes of culmination and climax. With the Sun in Aquarius, we need to look at how to find a balance between what we desire, what we are personally passionate about and what serves our individual growth, versus what we need to give back to our friendships and communities. It may be that we’ve been over giving or perhaps even taking more than we need. When we aren’t centred in ourselves, when we don’t make the effort to fill our own cups from within and build a shining inferno inside of our hearts, we are prone to seeking out validation and affirmation from others. Validation that we have a right to be here, to exist.
With this in mind, this Full Moon invites us to, instead, seek this essential validation from within ourselves. Not through our friends, family or community. We have to remind ourselves that we are Enough. When we truly believe it, we can attract those relationships and connections that do feed our soul, that make us feel as if we have come home, that we belong. If we constantly base our worth on what others say of us, we end up in a vicious cycle of seeking constant external validation. The Leo Full Moon says to let our light shine – unashamedly, unabashedly.
This full moon offers a terrific chance to rebel against the coldness in the world, the cut and paste “creative” product and the machined human being. It doesn’t really matter what we do, being aligned with our purpose comes from a deeper, simpler place. Remove the complications, let go of this idea that you have to work hard to find your purpose- reprogramme these beliefs so you can recognise that your purpose is found from within, not without.
And make no mistake about it, the Moon in Leo is a dramatic placement for the Moon! Dramatically wonderful, warm and passionate, that is! Emotions will run high during this moment in time, making it the perfect period for expressing ourselves through performance, such as dancing, acting, theatre or enjoying a great night out with our best people. Leo loves a bit of glitz and glamour, so how can you invite more of that into your world, right now? Life is here for living, and Leo knows how to live large.
One of the gifts that this Full Moon offers us is also the energy of lightness. Joy is something we all want more of in our lives, and this Full Moon invites you to not only connect with your joy, but to start clearing and doing away with all that blocks you from receiving joy in your life.
Joy is something we have to create for ourselves, so how can you use the energy of this Full Moon to create more of it? Often, creating more joy requires us to do away with things, rather than introduce anything new.
The path of joy and the path of purpose are very often intertwined. By following one, we eventually find our way to the other.
We may have to do away with something important like an outdated job or relationship, but chances are, for most of us, we will be doing away with attitudes and beliefs that are preventing us from recognising the joy that is already present.
If you are feeling heavy about something in your life, or frustrated by the events that are currently unfolding around you, reach out to the Full Moon. Allow its vibrations to bring some lightness into your being and into the situation. See if you can step back and allow any heaviness or frustrating situations to soften. See if you can find the funny side of things, or at the very least, see if you can release the bonds of attachment by reminding yourself that all is temporary.
Laughter is also a powerful medicine here, so go in search of some at this time. Reach out to friends, watch a funny movie, read a funny book, allow laughter to flow through your being.
Look back to around six months ago, and notice what seeds you planted at that time, especially seeds around personal expansion and growth. These seeds have grown to full fruition now, for better or worse, making it the time to release what hasn’t worked and to keep what has.
As such, the Leo Full Moon augurs a moment for us to act out, to make a scene. This doesn't mean to behave badly. But it does mean there is going to be more heat, passion, and reactivity in the air on the 12th. Leo, after all, is a fire sign, ruled by the Sun. It flares up. It creates situations. It’s loud. It voices opinions. It’s time for you to voice yours.
Emotions and dramas run high at any full moon. They tend to go over the top when Leo’s involved. Leo is warm and fiery and fixed, which makes whatever it experiences and expresses stay put and grow. Confident, proud, self-oriented, it’s comfortable with attention and has a way of drawing more if it thinks it’s not getting enough.
With a strong T-square aspect to freedom-loving Uranus, we may have an unexpected change of heart, where we may find that the direction we've been moving in is no longer the right one for us. Many people are trying to reach out in some way, to get to the people or the things or the parts of life that have become nearly inaccessible. I think this full moon might help with this. And although this may be initially anxiety-provoking, it’s important to trust in the winds of change and not resist whatever the Universe may be throwing at us.
To understand how this unpredictable full moon in Leo will affect you, read on for your sun, moon, and rising signs.
This lunar event asks you to take a look at your friendships and personal goals and encourages you to move away from any situations that are impeding your personal growth. If you’ve been considering monetising an artistic outlet, you should use this time to lay out a business plan for yourself and start working on selling your goods.
Careful, though: This reactive full moon could also send tempers soaring and unleash a tidal wave of pent-up emotions. Catch yourself before you burn a bridge. When your blood is boiling and you’re feeling fired up, take a minute to remove yourself from the situation and breathe deeply for a few minutes, focusing on the waves of inhalation and exhalation to calm yourself down. It’s not a bad thing to slow down and gather your thoughts before reacting; think of yourself as the tortoise, not the hare, when such situations arise. Slow and steady wins the race—and helps you keep your cool.
The fifth house is associated with the heart, so whatever you’ve been keeping in yours may come out in a raw and unfiltered outburst. The cleanup job could take longer than you expect—but there may be no avoiding that. Sometimes you have to deal to heal, as the saying goes. The full moon might take you by surprise, exposing where you have a “charge” around some topic.

Your gut can dictate a lot about your wellness, including your immunity. Consider a probiotic to keep things in check or add some kimchi and kombucha to your diet for gut health benefits.
The sixth house also rules helpful people, employees and systems. Does Team Pisces have any weak links in the chain? Use this moment to analyse where you could be more efficient and productive. Could you hire some support or delegate more? Maybe you need to train a wingperson to take over certain tasks or perhaps to upgrade to a service provider with specialised knowledge. Still staring at those IKEA bookshelves that need to be built or another lingering reno project? Hop on a site like and pay someone for a couple hours of work. Knocking that project out will be well worth the expense, especially if it helps your life run like a well-oiled machine.
