Welcome to the Full Moon in Leo

Despite the winter season, the Full Moon in Leo brings a warm, playful, charismatic energy that wants to be noticed ... one that will make an effort to satisfy this yen. Metaphorically, it's time to assess your personal talents and compare them to your long-term goals.

The inner, emotional part of you wants applause, attention, and plenty of cheering from the assembled throngs -- for the deeply generous, highly visible, flamboyant character you can be ... when you try.

Another part of you wants to kick over the traces and do something wild, something different, something totally independent and oh-so-unique. It's an eccentric, explosive energy that just waits for the slightest spark to detonate in either a totally off-the-wall adventure ... or a deafening display of emotional fireworks.

* What Does the Moon Represent -- in Your Natal Chart -- What is it ... and why is it important? ---> The Sun / The Moon ---> What's the difference? ---> The Sun in your horoscope represents your essential self -- the outer personality you present to the world and to most people who know you.

He can be a delightful mix of youthful exuberance, playfulness, enthusiasm and joy ... like a real-life Peter Pan, the kid who refuses to grow up. He can be an inspiring leader ... able to rally followers and inspire confidence with his own dramatic displays of courage and personal charisma.
