Full Moon in Leo: The Mirror of the Heart

The second Full Moon of the year rises in Leo, and it is not quiet energy.


This is a mirror Moon.


Not a mirror that shows you your appearance—but one that reflects the light you’ve been afraid to claim and the power you’ve been hesitant to own.


Leo energy doesn’t whisper.

It illuminates.


And this particular transit offers one simple but profound gift:

It helps you feel okay to acknowledge what is in your heart.

Not what sounds right.

Not what’s expected.

Not what keeps the peace.


What is actually true for you?


Full Moon in Leo vs. Aquarius — The Inner Tension


During this Full Moon, the individualistic Leo Moon opposes the collective-minded Aquarius Sun.


You may feel pulled between:

  • What I want

  • What we need


Leo asks: "What brings you alive?"


Aquarius asks: "How does this serve the greater good?"


The wisdom of this Moon is not choosing one over the other.

It’s learning how to bring your authentic “me” energy into the spaces where you collaborate, love, lead, and belong.

This is where true leadership is born—not from ego, but from embodied self-honesty.


The Mirror Moment

Full Moon in Leo

Full moons are mirrors.

Leo’s mirror reflects the heart.


You might notice:

  • a desire to be seen

  • a craving for creative expression

  • bold feelings rising

  • old fears around confidence or self-worth surfacing


This Moon may test your self-esteem before strengthening it.


If insecurity rises, it isn’t proof you’re failing—it’s the doorway to reclaiming a part of yourself you left behind.


Leo reminds you:

There is only one of you.

Your voice, your perspective, your heart—they matter.


But Watch the Ego


Leo energy can become:

  • arrogant

  • dramatic

  • attention-seeking

  • reactive


And Aquarius can turn:

  • argumentative

  • stubborn

  • rebellious for rebellion’s sake


This Full Moon in Leo asks for heart-centered courage, not pride.

Confidence, not performance.


Before taking action, ask:

Am I acting from my heart… or from needing to prove something?

Reflection for This Moon


Sit with this gently:

What truth in my heart have I been downplaying or avoiding?

Not the loud one.

Not the noise.

But the quiet, persistent ache.


The Leo Full Moon is not asking you to perform your power.

It’s asking you to recognize it.


Grounding Practice for the Leo Full Moon


Place your hand over your heart and ask: “What is asking to be acknowledged right now?”


Don’t analyze.

Don’t fix.

Just witness.


Let the Moon illuminate what has been quietly waiting for your attention.


A Gentle Invitation


If this Moon is stirring questions about identity, confidence, or belonging, you don’t have to sort it out alone.


My work at Wild Moon Healers® is built around reflection—learning to see yourself clearly, move at your own pace, and reconnect with the truth already living within you.


You’re welcome to explore quietly, take what resonates, and leave the rest.
