What Does the Full Moon in Leo Mean?
The Full Moon in Aquarius at 16 degrees reveals it is time to pause and reflect on the intention you have set (consciously or unconsciously) on the New Moon in Aquarius (January 29, 2025).
Doing this will make it easier to recognize how you show up for yourself and your community.
If you are not the type to keep a journal, but you do keep a calendar, look back on what you were doing around January 29, 2025, to see what new thing you had started, big or small.
From there, you’ll see what intention you’ve set for yourself and how it has influenced you up to this point.
Moreover, if you are aware of your birth chart, look at it to see which house Aquarius rules for you, for that is where you will have new realizations during this cycle.

The Full Moon reminds us we are coming full circle with our intention, and it invites us to break free from (ours or others’) expectations if it doesn’t align with our deepest truth.
With the Full Moon, we can show up as we are and accept what might be considered “unacceptable” about ourselves.
The Sun at 16 degrees Leo, opposite Moon (creating the full moon), informs us that our inner life is illuminated through confrontation with others who might be a bit dramatic.
They might want to control your situation or dominate what you feel is right, because they want to maintain control or power over you.
You may wonder where there is room for progression in your life when there is a lot of drama going on around you.
However, don’t let this Moon overwhelm you. Slow down to see that even during times like these can be a gift.
This gift could be revealing where you have power and how you can best use it to improve your life and its progression.
Plus, with the Moon co-present with Pluto, and the ruler of this Moon, Saturn retrograde in Aries, there is gold to be discovered if only we are patient enough to review where we have control, take responsibility for ourselves, and alchemize the challenging situation to our benefit.
I hope you have a wonderful Full Moon in Aquarius, and don’t forget this is your opportunity to show up differently for yourself!
What to do with this Moon?
