"Rise with the fire of truth in your heart. Let your light shine not for applause, but to illuminate the path of integrity, love, and purpose. The cosmos watches, and your soul knows—the most radiant success is built on authenticity, not ambition alone."
Beloved one, the moment has arrived—On your mark, get set, go! On February 12th at 24 degrees… the energy of this Leo Full Moon does not ease you in gently; instead, it roars through the cosmos like a wildfire, demanding to be seen, felt, and acknowledged. The stage is set, the lights are on, and you are called to step forward—not just as the main character in your own story, but as the creator of your destiny.
Yet, with this surge of passion and intensity comes a sacred paradox. The fire of Leo illuminates your personal desires, urging you to claim your throne, while the Sun in Aquarius whispers of collective service, reminding you that true greatness is measured by what you give, not just what you take. Is it wrong to put yourself first? The answer, dear soul, is both yes and no. There is a delicate dance between self-empowerment and self-importance, between honoring your needs and honoring the interconnected web of life.
This full moon is not simply a moment of illumination; it is a mirror reflecting back the truth of who you are. Be mindful of how ego seeks to take the lead—do not allow it to steer you toward competition, deception, or an insatiable hunger for recognition. The cosmos is watching, and under this moon’s brilliance, all shadows are revealed. Transparency is your greatest ally now. Speak with integrity, move with authenticity, and let your actions be a testament to the nobility of your spirit.
A celestial T-square weaves tension between Mercury, Uranus, and the Full Moon, urging you to break free from expectations that no longer serve your truth. This is a moment of revelation—where the masks fall, and the raw, unfiltered essence of who you are emerges. Allow yourself to be seen, not for who the world expects you to be, but for the radiant, untamed being that you are becoming.
And though the fire of Leo may tempt you to act in haste, Mars is still in its sacred pause, moving slowly through its retrograde journey until February 23. Do not let frustration consume you. Instead, embrace the wisdom of patience. Let the flames burn away old patterns of impulsivity, replacing them with the discipline of steady, deliberate action. The path of integrity is not always the quickest route to success, but it is the most enduring.
Breathe, beloved, and trust. This moon does not ask you to shrink, nor does it demand reckless pursuit of power. It calls you to rise—with dignity, with clarity, with the knowing that true success is not built upon the ruins of others, but upon the foundation of respect, devotion, and unwavering commitment to your highest self.
Walk this path with grace. Speak your truth with courage. Honor both your fire and your heart, for within them lies the alchemy of true transformation. This is your moment. Shine—not because you must be seen, but because you are meant to illuminate the way.

Affirmation of love and wisdom
"I shine my light with courage and integrity, honoring my truth with love and wisdom. I lead with authenticity, embrace my divine power, and uplift others as I rise."
Embodiment Ritual: Igniting the Fire of Truth
Purpose: This ritual helps you embody the radiant energy of the Leo Full Moon, aligning confidence with integrity and passion with wisdom. It is a sacred practice of stepping into your authentic self while remaining grounded in love and truth.
What You’ll Need:
A candle (gold, orange, or white) to represent your inner fire
A bowl of water to balance the fire’s intensity with emotional wisdom
Your three chosen crystals (Sunstone, Lapis Lazuli, Black Obsidian)
A journal and pen
A mirror
Step 1: Sacred Grounding
Sit comfortably with your feet touching the ground. Place your hands on your heart and take deep, intentional breaths. With each inhale, feel the energy of the Earth rising into you. With each exhale, release anything that dims your light.
Step 2: Ignite Your Inner Fire
Light the candle before you. As the flame flickers, speak aloud:
"I call upon the fire of truth to illuminate my soul. I stand in my power, radiant and whole."
Hold the Sunstone in your hand and visualize its golden light filling your body with confidence, creativity, and courage.
Step 3: Reflection & Truth-Telling
Gaze into the mirror and look deeply into your own eyes. Ask yourself:
"Where have I hidden my light? Where am I being called to step forward with authenticity?"
Hold Lapis Lazuli to your throat as you speak an affirmation of truth:
"I honor my voice. I speak with love, wisdom, and clarity. My truth is sacred."
Step 4: Releasing Shadows
Take the Black Obsidian in your hands and reflect on any fear, self-doubt, or ego-driven motives that no longer serve you. Dip your fingers into the bowl of water, symbolizing the cleansing of all that is not aligned with your highest self. As you do, say:
"I release all that is false. I step forward in my true essence."
Step 5: Integration & Embodiment
Close your eyes and place your hands on your solar plexus (just above your navel). Feel your energy aligning—bold yet balanced, confident yet compassionate.
When you feel complete, blow out the candle, giving thanks for its light. Journal your insights, dreams, and any messages received.
Final Words of Power:
"I walk forward in truth, with love as my guide and wisdom as my compass. My light is a gift, and I shine it with grace."
Carry your Sunstone with you for confidence, Lapis Lazuli for wisdom, and Black Obsidian for protection as you integrate this energy into your daily life.
Sacred Blessing of Radiance and Truth
May the fire within you burn bright with truth, illuminating your path with courage and love. May your voice be strong, your heart be open, and your spirit be free. May you shine not for the world’s approval, but for the joy of simply being who you are. Under this luminous moon, may you step forward in authenticity, wisdom, and grace—honoring your power, embracing your light, and walking your path with integrity. And so it is. Asé. Aho. AMEEN. I AM.
