Leo Full Moon (Snow Moon) 2008

A Place in the Sun

I Have a Dream

January 22: Leo Full Moon: Sol in Aquarius opposes Luna in Leo at the second degree. A balance of self and others stresses communal values. Mercury, Neptune and the North Node of the Moon are trine to retrograde Mars in Gemini, reminding us of the great humanitarian speeches upon which the notion of human rights was founded in the past. Venus and Pluto in the late degrees of Sagittarius sextile the Aquarian stellium, giving the humanitarian impulse an extra measure of philosophical depth and beauty.

Jupiter in Capricorn is in exact trine to retrograde Saturn in Virgo, helping us to achieve health and wealth through the regulation of our daily routines.

On the other hand, Venus in Sagittarius squares Uranus in Pisces, making us a bit flighty and prone to emotional outbursts -- as if disinclined to go along with the rest of the rational and well-regulated energy of the Leo Full Moon. Since Mercury is exactly conjunct Neptune and is getting ready to go retrograde on the 29th of the month, it would not be a good time to make major decisions because we are more in tune with the imaginative processes of the subconscious mind than with the rational impulses of the Aquarius and Capricorn energy at play.

It's a good time to imagine the future in altruistic terms.
