Let Yourself Shine: A Guide to the Full Moon in Leo
The Full Moon in Leo is taking place Wednesday, February 12, 2025 at 5:53am PT. Leo is a fire sign that is ruled by the Sun and represented by the Lion. With this lunation you can expect themes of courage, leadership, creativity, and confidence to be illuminated.
It’s a let your hair down and embrace your roar kinda vibe.
If you’ve been holding back or playing small in an area of your life, you might feel some internal tension and discomfort—making it hard to look away from the part of you that is avoiding being seen. This is not the Universe punishing you. Instead, it’s the Universe revealing to you where you have room to grow and fully step into your power.
Alternatively, if you’ve been intentionally working on unblocking and overcoming limiting beliefs about yourself, this lunar energy may inspire you to shed what you’ve outgrown and unapologetically shine your light.
Below is a guided worksheet to help you align with the potency of this week’s Full Moon in Leo and support your personal journey of growth and self-discovery. Lean into what feels supportive and let go of the rest.
A Practice to Ground Your Body:
Sit, stand, or lie down. and feel your body making contact with the surface below you. Imagine roots growing from your body into the ground, connecting you to the Earth’s stability and strength. Take some gentle breaths, as you allow yourself to be held, balanced, and supported.
Reflection Questions to Clear Your Mind:
Where in my life am I hiding or dimming my light?
What parts of myself am I ready to express more boldly and authentically?
When do I feel most alive and radiant? How can I invite more of that into my life?
If I fully trusted myself, what would I create or pursue?
Where is my heart calling me to lead or inspire others?
What fears or doubts hold me back from stepping into my personal power?
How can I cultivate more courage in my daily life?
What limiting beliefs about my worth am I ready to release?
What is no longer serving me that I can confidently leave behind?
A Ritual to Nourish Your Spirit:
🕯️ Light a candle or incense and sit quietly in front of or near the candle. Place your hands over your heart and let yourself intuitively align with the energy of the Full Moon.
If you feel called to (but you don’t have to) seek guidance from the Universe, you can ask a question like “What guidance do you have for me in this moment?” It’s ok if you don’t get an immediate answer or download. Just asking the question will make space for clarity to come.
You can also choose, if you feel called, to repeat an affirmation like “I deserve to shine brightly and confidently.”
When you’re ready to close the ritual, take a moment to thank La Luna for her light and energy. Safely snuff out your candle before you leave the room or your home and be intentional when leaving the space, carrying some gratitude and awareness with you as you return to your day.
With the Full Moon in Leo illuminating the sky, remember that boldness looks different for everyone. For some, it’s taking center stage; for others, it’s quietly owning their truth. However you feel called to align with this energy, trust that your intuition knows the way. This is a time to honor your authenticity, release self-doubt, and step into your power—whatever that looks like for you. Let this moonlight remind you that your unique path is always enough. Keep shining, in your own way, and trust that you are worthy of taking up space, just as you are.
