Full Moon in Leo | February 1, 2026
Collective ideals are valuable, until they drown out your own truth.
This Full Moon in Leo on February 1 brings that tension to light. To what extent does that affect you?
Full Moon in Leo
A Full Moon is a moment of completion and closure. During a Full Moon, the Sun and Moon are directly opposite each other. The Moon is in Leo and the Sun is in Aquarius. Pluto, Mars, Venus, and Mercury are also in Aquarius. They are spread across the sign, so it is not one concentrated force, but rather a lot of Aquarius energy.
Individual and Community
Leo represents the individual, putting yourself first, being the center of attention. Shining, being seen, and living from your heart. Aquarius stands for community, the common good, and putting that above your own interests when necessary. Aquarius is about equality, but also about freedom and individuality.
The planets in Aquarius provide a mirror: in what areas are you true to yourself, and in what areas do you adapt to the group or the greater whole?
Power, Autonomy, and Authenticity
With Pluto in Aquarius, it's all about fundamental change in how you relate to power, autonomy, and authenticity. Through the other planets in Aquarius, this theme seeps into inner processes, values, conversations, work, and relationships.
Need for Recognition
This Full Moon reveals where your need for recognition clashes with collective norms and values, where you hold yourself back in order to fit in, and where you can take your place.
- This can manifest itself in group dynamics, for example at work or in your family, suddenly feeling oppressive and you needing more space for yourself.
- Or that it becomes clear that in certain relationships you are seen for who you should be rather than who you truly bent are of want to be.
- You may also choose to no longer participate in a certain group, even if that means you will be alone for a while.
Staying true to yourself, making your own creativity and ideas visible, and following your own path, even if it deviates from the norm. That's what this Full Moon is all about, and Neptune in Aries supports this.
First Full Moon in a New Era
It is the first Full Moon with Neptune completely in Aries. Neptune spent 14 years in ethereal, mystical, and fluid Pisces. This sign has little action, so the focus was mainly on feeling, dreaming, and verbeelden. Die energie is voorbij. De komende 14 jaar, in Ram, betekent doen, daadkracht en pionieren.
This means a shift from feelings and words to actions. “I feel it” changes to “I do it.” This will be especially true once Saturn also moves into Aries on February 14. This will help you fine-tune your imagination and dreams so that you can materialize them in a concrete and structured way.
All in all, this Full Moon raises the question: what is stopping you from being your true self within the collective, from showing your creativity, individuality, and ideals, and from taking your place?
