This Leo Full Moon is exactly at 11:16am PST / 2:16pm EST / 7:16pm GMT
Welcome to the first full moon of 2021! This is a powerful portal of shift to release that which no longer uplifts you, and illuminates your heartfelt & passionate self to roar as the wise leader of your own life (Leo). Now is the time to amplify your sacred desires and offer your gifts to serve in the world with a sense of inpsired action and responsibility.
This is a pivotal window for us as a collective where our feelings, emotions, and intuition come to light to catalyze renewal and regeneration at the level of the heart, solar center and soul. It is a Full Moon to breakthrough adversity and resurrect self-love, unconditional love, forgiveness, compassion, truth and power. And it is a time to liberate and celebrate the wild soul that you are!
As Venus is at the Root Chakra, this full moon brings forth amplified feelings, emotions, and intuition connected to your relationships, your sense of belonging, stability, feeling grounded and supported! Worry, hesitation, doubt and mistrust may arise. Know that these challenges are part of your alchemical process. Stay steady. The Fires of Purification are burning away all illusion - until the the Truth of who you are remains.
Call upon the Royal Rose Lions of Sirius & Lyra in this Leo full moon to support continued releasing of distortion AND to empower the royal illumination of your heartfelt and passionate Self! It is time to Rise as the Queen of your life! ROAR that which has been holding you back, and that which you are reclaiming! This celestial activation ignites creativity, inspired passion and devotional desires for offering your gifts as sacred service in the world on the Path of your Becoming. And so it is!
This is also the 'Wolf Moon' that comes from Indigenous Tribes of North America who gave names to each of the moons, in relation to their qualities connected to nature and the seasons. This particular moon was when the wolves would appear in the middle of winter, howling with hunger in villages.
Wolf Medicine, representing ‘Teacher’, great wisdom, wildness and inner freedom is beckoning our attention. Maybe you are already feeling it in your bones and are ready to dance and howl! This Wolf Moon reminds us of the importance to express our heart's truth and our wildness, to live feeling free.

Leo Full Moon Ritual
This potent ritual is offered in love to your Bright Soul! The intention of this ritual is to empower you in releasing anything that may be preventing you from living in the fullest expression of your Wild Sacred Feminine Essence and rise in the wisdom, beauty, and truth that you are. Blessings to you!
Build a fire and bask in the radiant flames. Let the heat penetrate your body. Let the colours into your eyes, empty yourself of thoughts and allow for the flames to guide you deep within. If you can't build a fire, then light some candles and bask in the full moon's light if possible.
Write down all the things in your life that you were told you couldn't do, or weren't allowed to do and all the beliefs that arose from that. Take your time with this...
Then Reflect on how this makes you feel, speak your feelings, write them down and allow your body to express these feelings.
Now investigate how this has affected your life and may still be affecting you. Again, take your time.
Then offer to the fire all the parts the beliefs that are not true, that you may have been living with. Honour them for their time with you and now they are no longer needed. Sacred. Deep. Release.
Dance Dance Dance! If with a fire, let the heat of the fire soften your body and move in ways that make you feel free and empowered. Dance your truth. Dance your heart and soul.
Speak aloud what you are capable of, and the truth of who you are! Speak your wisdom and what your passions are. You can start each sentence with I Am.... and claim your truth. Run wild with this! When you feel complete (and maybe after many tears...) Repeat, "And so it is!" as many times as you like. This will anchor in and affirm your sacred truths.
Finally, write down these truths, so that you can refer back to it when you need reminded of your power.
Close with gratitude and long deep breathing. Or, continue in whatever way feels most resonant for you.
Remember: Put out your gemstones and jewels in a window or in water for cleansing, renewal and activation. Preferable in salted water (sensitive stones and jewels leave out the salt part).
Commune: Gather is an intentional way with loved ones and do the above ritual together if possible for extra potency and support. Now is a such a powerful time to be with the energy of the collective.
Full Moon rituals can be done the day before, of and after the actual full moon. This is the 3 day potency period. Blessings to you in this powerful and wild and powerful time.
Love Achintya
