The second full Moon of 2026 arrives in Leo, bringing us face to face with our most authentic expression. Acting as a cosmic mirror, the full Moon in Leo reflects back the light we’ve been afraid to claim and the power we’ve been hesitant to own.
When is the Full Moon in Leo?
the year’s second full Moon takes place on Sunday, February 1, 2026, at 2:09 PT.
What the Full Moon in Leo
ruled by the Sun itself, Leo is solar by nature. Just as our Sun doesn’t apologize for its existence, Leo reminds us that dimming our light serves no one. The full Moon in this fire sign carries the medicine of radical self-acceptance and the courage to be witnessed in our fullness.
The full Moon in Leo illuminates which aspirations came from your true self versus which ones came from who you think you should be. Maybe you set goals based on external expectations or comparison to others. Leo reveals these misalignments not to shame you, but to liberate you.When you release intentions that aren’t truly yours, you create space for desires that are aligned with your soul.
Leo connects us to the part of ourselves that once knew how to play without purpose, create without criticism, and love without conditions.Before the world taught you to monitor yourself, edit yourself, make yourself palatable, who were you? What did you love? What made you feel alive?
The Moon in Leo helps you remember that original innocence, that untouched creative spark, that playfulness that still exists within you, waiting beneath layers of conditioning. This full Moon brings these patterns into conscious awareness. You might notice how you still seek validation in familiar ways, how you still perform old scripts that no longer serve you. Leo’s medicine is the remembrance that you are inherently worthy of love, attention, and celebration simply for existing.
This moon’s clarity creates conditions for seeing ourselves truly, perhaps for the first time. Consider how you learned to relate to attention and visibility. Were you celebrated for being yourself or did you learn to perform for approval? Did you discover that love had conditions, that you had to achieve or behave certain ways to receive it?
You do not need to do anything, accomplish anything, or create anything to be loved. The full Moon in Leo is the time to begin developing love for yourself, without conditions, for merely existing.
The journey to authentic expression requires incredible bravery. Your heart doesn’t operate like your mind. It won’t give you five-year plans or guarantee outcomes. Instead, it speaks through sensation, through knowing, through the pull toward what lights you up and the resistance to what dims your flame. Leo teaches us that following these signals takes the courage of a lion.You might not know where the path leads, but your heart knows the next step. This full Moon in Leo strengthens your ability to trust that inner compass, even when the destination remains mysterious.
Leo is the sign of kings and queens. It reminds us that each of us has the potential to lead others through the full expression of ourselves.We must, though, be willing to be seen. Kings and queens are generally the center of attention in any room. They feel confident enough to take up that space. From this platform they can lead and share their truth.
Feel into your own willingness to take up the space you deserve this full Moon and use it to share yourself with others. Accept yourself for who you are this full moon and allow yourself to extend far past the confines of your body.
integration means sharing your talents without demanding universal acceptance.Create from your soul’s purpose, but remain open to collaboration and constructive criticism.Claim your space without minimizing others’. This full Moon encourages leading with your heart, while still using your mind. Honor your individuality, remember your connection to everyone else, and celebrate the brilliance in others.
When Leo’s passion meets Aquarius’s intellect, you become a powerful force for change, both personally and globally. Honest self-reflection is key. Is your need for recognition stifling your creativity? Is your desire to be different hindering genuine connection? How can you balance your unique expression with your role in the world’s evolution?
This full moon provides space for these questions, though your answers will evolve. when these energies blend, you inspire through courageously being yourself-flaws and all. This lunation clarifies where you’ve acted from insecurity and where you’re ready to embrace your full potential.
Don’t aim to eliminate your shadows; they’re a natural part of being human. Instead, become aware of them so they don’t control you unconsciously.
Embrace both Leo’s sovereignty and Aquarius’s interconnectedness.You are a unique creation and an essential part of everything. Your healing impacts the collective. Your courage inspires change. This Leo-Aquarius axis shows us that authentic self-expression and service aren’t separate-they’re the same path.
Your heart communicates a truth deeper than words. Before thoughts or stories form,your heart already knows. It responds instantly to truth, expands with love, and contracts with what doesn’t serve you. this full Moon illuminates this inner wisdom, helping you recognize when you ignore your heart in favor of logic, convention, or fear.
Consider how your heart’s energy affects everyone you meet. When you enter a room, your heart arrives first, broadcasting your true frequency before you speak.People feel your authentic vibration-whether you’re operating from love or fear, openness or defensiveness, authenticity or pretense.
You’ve experienced this when meeting someone who promptly puts you at ease, or…
