On Thursday 25th of January we have our first Full Moon of the year and it is in the outlandish and fabulous Leo. The cosmos are helping us set the tone for the upcoming year, a time of thinking big, being expansive, showing up for yourself and allowing yourself to shine baby!

What does this mean for yourself and the collective?

Well, Leos are known for their Queen and King qualities and main character energies…they have gumption! But they are also extremely loyal to their loved ones and will do anything for those they value, they wear their hearts on their sleeves which can be very opening and generous.

This cosmic gift we are bestowed upon on during the upcoming Full Moon is a time 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, think those big goals, dreaming big and going for it, focus on our passions, what lights up our hearts.

We have this mixed with the fun loving, warm and welcoming Leo - they are ruled by the sun after all!

Ask yourself - How do you feel in relation to fun and joy? Do you feel bogged down and overwhelmed that you forget to bring these feelings to your every day life? Does the sense of responsibility and dedicating yourself to your dreams take over the time for fun?

It’s Time To Release!

Remember with a Full Moon it is a time of release and in order to reach and strive towards our desires, we must first release and let go of what is no longer serving you, and this is exactly what we are gifted during the week.

Does this release revolve around joy? Do you feel if you drop your guard down, or take a moment away from the grinding and hustling that you won’t be as successful?

Well, remember life is all about balance (a true Libra speaking here) and when we get bogged down too much we loose that sparkle of joy, that feeling of vitality that brings us to life and makes us happy. This Leo Full Moon is about embracing these elements with Leo’s fun loving and care free energy that is warming like those sun rays.

What Is Standing In The Way of Your Joy?

Invite yourself to release what is no longer serving you and blocks you have around this concept of joy and happiness. Is journaling or mediating on this subject and feeling you could do? Perhaps this stems back to your inner child and you need to tap into this aspect of yourself and see what shows up for you to release. We often hold onto our beliefs that were developed as a child, even subconsciously, from what we heard and were told. These thoughts and words stick with us through our adult life and more than likely no longer serve you, so it is time to boldly let them go. Allowing yourself compassion and kindness.

Even reflecting on last year and releasing what didn’t you bring you joy and only heartbreak or doubts or hurt. This is 2024 a year of unknown energy and opportunities, and the year of abundance - it is a number 8 year in numerology. We need to be leaving behind 2023, taking and thanking the lessons and moving forward boldly and confidently into this new year.

Also think about how you can be bringing in joy and happiness into your daily life, spicing up your routine with some uplifting music, a little dance to move the energy and body, wearing your favourte perfume just because it makes you feel good just like that lipstick. Start doing things that make YOU feel good, remember it doesn’t have to be expensive or huge, life is also about the simple pleasures simply noticing the beauty of a flower or tree and their beautiful fragrances. There is beauty all around us when we seek it and take note of it.
