LEO RULING PLANET
Sun
We are reminded to feel into our authentic selves in the Leo energy of the Full Moon. The Leo Full Moon symbolizes the majestic lion of the zodiac. It is time to find your gifts and share it with the world. Each of us has a unique set of skills that deserve to be honored and shared. Leo represents the energies of leadership, compassion, vulnerability, strength, and love. As a sign of kings and queens, Leo reminds us that all of us possess the potential to lead others through our full expression. We must, however, be willing to be seen in order to achieve this. The Full Moon gives us the opportunity to take up the space we deserve and share our energy. Feel into your willingness to do just that, and use that space to share your gifts.
LEO FULL MOON RITUAL
Set up your altar space. This can be a place in your room at home on a table or a mat placed with candles, incense, oracle/tarot cards, and your favorite journal.
Star to find some movement in your body. Like a courageous lion, Leo wears his heart on his sleeve, ruling the heart and spine. These yoga poses dare us to be vulnerable by opening our hearts and extending our spines. They help us boldly pursue our passions. Incorporate these yoga poses into your day-to-day routine until the New Moon.
Leo Yoga Poses:
camel's pose
star gazer
bound-angle
Gather stones such as:
peridot- to bring calmness and quiet
amber- to assist in addictions or need for control
carnelian- to ignite your sense of creativity
Place these stones in your hands and close your eyes and begin to meditate on manifesting everything you’ve ever dreamed of.
Focus on gratitude and the intentions you set from the New Moon during a guided meditation.
Start to journal on how your life has changed during the last two weeks and how you can be better.
With a sharpie, write on a glass candle the things you want to release. Ask the Universe to illuminate your dreams and give you clarity on the month ahead. Put this candle on your altar and light it whenever you experience negative emotions.
Journal on the following:
Why am I here? What is the message of my heart and soul?
Identify your insecurities that prevent you from shining your light
In order to shine, what must I let go of?
Light the candle that you wrote down what you want to release. If you don’t have a candle, write what you want to release on a piece of paper and burn it.
Feel the feeling of letting go of what no longer serves you.
Set some intentions to release under this Full Moon:
Full Moon in Leo Releasing Intentions
obsessive thoughts: I release ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
toxic habits: I release ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
time-wasting activities: I release ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Lastly, pull some cards
Let's take a moment to give thanks to ourselves and all those who gathered with us to honor the energy of Leo for igniting our power to transform our planet. Speak your actions into existence, and it will be yours. As the Moon begins to wane towards her shadow, use this time to align with your highest self, align with your dreams and visions, release what is no longer serving you, and know that anything is possible with the Moon by your side. Pull some tarot cards, oracle cards, or whatever cards you feel called to and write them down. Ask the cards, what message of the Leo Full Moon do I need to receive to shine and express my hearts desires? Carry these messages with you for the next 2 weeks, remebering you are not alone.
As the moon begins to wane, fully honor these intentions to let go. Slow down these next two weeks and take care of yourself. Do not pressure yourself to complete tasks. The Universe just wants you to be a human, so sit back and binge watch Netflix, or take a bath every night. The Full Moon empowers you to let go, so when the New Moon arrives, you're ready for a cosmic reset.

Until the New Moon, sending lunar love,
