This February, full moon was referred to by the ancients as the ‘snow’ or ‘hunger’ moon due to this seasons challenging hunting conditions.
This year, it is amplified by the presence of a lunar eclipse that offers even more depth and shadow to an already dark and mysterious time.
In order to process the challenges of this lunar event, it is imperative that we shine our light even brighter into the darkest corners, in order to give an opportunity for that which needs to be cleared to surface up and out into the flames of transformation to be healed.
This eclipse will ensure there is nowhere to hide under the powerful Leo rays. Like the lion, its energies are almighty and non-negotiable – you will be forced to free yourself of that which is holding you back and watch it turn to ashes before your eyes. This will spring a new flower that will blossom into your life’s purpose if you have the courage to throw all the pain and trauma you have been hoarding into the violent flames.
This is the first eclipse of the year, and it will reignite your personal power and put you where you need to be if you surrender to its energies and trust that it will steer you to your unique destination.
Ride on the lion’s back deep into the jungle of your life and find that hidden treasure. Fearlessly face your insecurities and harness your ego to finally claim what is truly yours. This is your time to shine, as master of your own destiny. There is also a very protective and positive pentagram formation in the celestial bodies that is accompanying this eclipse, bringing with it bright blessings, balance and harmony. This heavenly star shape will guarantee that we have all we need to succeed in the coming year as it shines its perfect magical symmetry into our lives.
This is an incredible powerful time with a strong, divine, synchronistic and guiding force that is to be acknowledged and celebrated.
Together, let us stoke the internal fire to burn off the unwanted impurities and work with the rajas to ensure that we honour our full moon in fiery Leo, in order to warm ourselves and others with the light of our spirit.
