Leo Full Moon, 2026
Hello friends,
On Sunday February 1st, at 2:10 pm Pacific time, we had this year’s full moon in the sign of Leo.
I keep sending these out late and I think that’s just going to be my schedule from now on. I feel like I’m getting a better signal on what I want to write when the moon actually does it’s thing, so, I will no longer be rushing to beat her to the punch. Trying to do something before it’s ready is the reason why I have missed the last two letters. :(
We have a big pile up of planets in the sign of Aquarius right now (Pluto, Mars, the sun, Venus, Mercury), and so I suspect we are all in a moment of intense focus, trying to figure out how to fit into the bigger picture needs of our communities. I know I am.
This full moon in Leo showed us the tension that exists between being an individual and being a person inside a community. We have responsibilities to ourselves, and responsibilities to our communities, and we also have a responsibility to our community to show up as our authentic selves. And that showed up really strong for me when writing this moon’s journalling prompts.
I’ve been diving deeply into a new method for writing these prompts, and I think you might enjoy this process image;
If this makes no sense to you, well, it’s not supposed to. This is me vibing. (And if this image inspires you to send me a set of delightful or strange or inspired tarot cards, I welcome that!)
Here’s what I took from that afternoon divination session:
Aries - This season has you focused on so many things that are public, exterior, social, and group-oriented. This moon wants to remind you that your pleasure matters, too. Fold yourself into your lovers arms, into a creative focus, or into a game with your nibling. Rest there a moment and receive the joy that is offered there.
Taurus - There are many things vying for your attention in this moment, so many possibilities of where you could lead yourself next. This moon offers you support from the deepest darkest places inside of you, and asks you to put that energy into something specific. I suspect that you got a hint on Sunday.
Gemini - This full moon has brought up a conflict in your life. This season has shone a light onto the things you really hold to be true—what you’ve been taught, what you believe. But as you have focused on the big picture, a detail has crept into your path. What will you do? What do you need to reckon with now?
Cancer - Your relationships are really asking a lot of you right now. And there’s a lot that feels like it’s on the line. This moon is asking you—can you slow down, breathe, and be realistic for a moment? What resources are actually here for you, and are you brave enough to ask for and utilize them? If you ask, you may be held accountable to being worthy of the investment. I know that you are worthy. Do you?
Leo - This moon is showing you your reflection. Have you been looking deeply? Are you willing to admire what you see? Can you see your own creative, nurturing power waiting to be unleashed? Now is the time to learn this side of yourself. Let it in. We need you to know what you’re capable of.
Virgo - This season has you focused on “getting your shit together” and you have already made so much progress. However, it is not done. You are not done. I want to encourage you to keep going. There’s something that you need that you don’t see. In the aftermath of this moon, see if other people can mirror back to you what you need most. Then, let that inform your course as you continue on.
Libra - You have been living in the fertile ground of your own creativity for a couple weeks. This could be delightful, as in a boost of artistic energy. Or it could be difficult, as when our inner story tellers start making life more confusing. Which has it been for you? And how can you bring this rich inner life into the light to share with the rest of us, to interact authentically with those you want to build connection with?
Scorpio - There are too many influences now pulling at your material life, your home. You experience changeable nature now as much as you ever do, which I know can be particularly uncomfortable for you. This moon asks you to embrace the changes, roll with them, and be open to wanting something new.
Sagittarius - You have been taking a pause, and making a daily withdrawal into ritual has come into focus as a goal. With so much focus now on your intimate daily life and the people you spend it with, this moon asks you—what does this pause serve? What will you take with you on your long journey? What will you learn, and what will you teach?
Capricorn - Recently, you met a bully. I think this bully was feeling a bit territorial around resources, and not necessarily the material kind but instead the relational kind. Was the bully you? This season has you focused on the things that sustain you, and this moon asks you to remember that much of what sustains you is, in fact, given to you in relationship.
Aquarius - How do you belong? How are you shaped by the relations that make you? So much is going on inside you right now—how is that reflected in the shapes that you make with other people?
Pisces - This moon is asking you to deeply care for yourself. To understand that abundance will come with care and intention. This season, this is so much going on that feels “over your head” and I think you should just let it stay that way a while. It’s not your business. Right now, your business is tending to your human creature.
Friend, you are worth care, and you are capable of giving care too. Watch out for self-doubt, watch for self-criticism, and watch out for when those tendencies show up in how you show up for others. Now is the time for radical softness. With all the things going on—and you know what I’m talking about—let’s keep the faith.
Love you.
Until next time,
Alanna
