FULL MOON 13º Leo ♌︎, February 1st, 2026

~ We are the one’s we’ve been waiting for ~

In Evolutionary Astrology, Jeffery Wolf Green, its founder, tells us that the way to develop Pluto’s evolutionary intent is through the Pluto Polarity Point.This Full Moon is the Full Moon of the year that takes place in the sign of the Pluto Polarity Point of our times – Leo.

During the twenty years of Pluto in Aquarius (2024-2044), the way we best develop our collective Soul mission of evolving the collective through technology, science, truth seeking, the third eye chakra, meditation, enlightenment, friendship, the elites, rebellion, networks, the future, all things Aquarian, is to balance this Aquarian archetype with qualities of the opposite archetype of Leo. The Heart.

This Full Moon means it’s show time for us all in terms of how we want to show up as a unique individual contributing to the future.

Ask yourself in these days of the Leo Moon, who do I want to be? What is my unique, individual purpose in relation to a socially relevant need?

It is a time to take charge of our own destinies and shape our futures in accordance with thoughts that are coming to us now. Trust these thoughts and the ensuing actions as they are unfolding. Trust that you and the Universe are co creating our collective future. Recognise that you are an instrument, a tool of the Universe, a powerful, unique creator being. The Universe is getting to know itself through you and what you create. Never before has there been you as you are now. The Universe adores you, basks in you, explores in you. Warts and all. Especially at this Full Moon.

This Full Moon is a time of innovative creation. Innovative self-actualisation.

 

Now is the time to be yourself.

Back to the warts.

Although we are loved just as we are, for our errors are essential for us to learn, grow, appreciate. It’s also important at this time to contemplate does it qualify as a useful contribution to the collective?

For if it does not, if it is just narcissistic, ego gratification for our own pleasure at the expense of others, there are consequences for ourselves as well as others.

Perhaps this is part of the journey? Our exploration of the shadow sides. However, do we want to learn the hard or easy way? The conscious or unconscious way? This is also within our own power to decide.

It is the very first days of Neptune fully moving into Aries, and some symbols of this combination of energies are already seen and can illustrate the spectrum of positive and negative potentials. On the one side of the spectrum we have the now famous Buddhist Monks walking for Peace, showing how little we need to be able to play a part in making the world a better place, how the inner world changes the outer world.

On the other end we have a new tool that brings our delusional capacity to next level dangerous. Highly advanced AI image/video creation capacity that is so realistic we can no longer trust a single thing that is shared on media platforms to be authentic, opening up a whole new realm of deception and confusion.

The planetary energies create the full spectrum of potentials. It is our job to choose which ones we manifest in this place of free will.

Back to the co-creation notion.

With the North Node and South Node currently two thirds of their way on their journey through Pisces and Virgo, we are by now fairly familiar with trying to understand how much and what is in our power and how much and what is not in our power.

It has been plain to see that we need to have attention to detail, keep to do lists, try to improve ourselves, do self-analysis, look after our health and daily routines during the last year, what would have happened if we let that slide? Would we even still be here?

However, it has been equally plain to see that we are not really in charge. No matter how careful we are, how organised, how much therapy and physical polishing we do, we are not actually in control. We have had to simultaneously learn to surrender and accept what is, who we actually are and the importance of unconditionally loving and accepting ourselves and everyone else and everything just as it is, in all it’s and our chaotic beauty and ugliness.

Ultimately, ideally, we are learning to balance the two. To use our ever improving powers of discernment to know when to take action, and when to let it go and just go with the flow.

Learning to have the wisdom to know what we can change and the wisdom to know what we can’t. What’s that song/hymn/poem? The details escape me, but the sentiment is there, may something outside of myself fill in this memory blank. (Do you like my South Node in Virgo/North Node in Pisces example here?)

Mars, Venus and Mercury in new phase conjunction to Pluto means all sorts is taking off in the collective this month.

All manner of new ideas, new values and new impulses flying in every direction. Exciting times. Too exciting?

In deciding what impulses, ideas and values to follow through on, remember to ask the question does this serve the whole? With compassion for all, including and all importantly, ourselves? For if suitable self-care is not there we just add to the problems others have who we had hoped to help.

And yet if we are only serving ourselves and our own egos, we are headed for a fall. It won’t endure.

All this impulsive energy taking off at the moment needs putting into a little more context.

If we contemplate how the challenging planets of Chiron, now Neptune and soon to be Saturn are all in Aries these days, these years, it soon comes to mind how these are not easy days for our egos, our wills, our energy. Before we do the Chiron, Neptune and Saturn work, it’s inevitable that we will feel thwarted, lack self-confidence and drive, but keep going, press on through the doubts and confusion and pain. Doing the work of these planets will bring precious rewards from all this inner and outer work. The potential for each of us to evolve into actual spiritual healers is now. It takes time and patience, as it doesn’t happen overnight.

May this Full Moon illuminate each of our unique paths to the best versions of ourselves.

 

KEY ASPECTS:

Mercury and Venus in Aquarius inconjunct Jupiter in Cancer

1st/2nd February

Our minds and values are detached and bigger picture orientated whilst we get most growth and good feeling from tending to our personal emotional wellbeing. The advice with challenging aspects is to tend to both.

 

Uranus goes Direct in Taurus

4th February

Notice the shift from inner to outer unexpected rumbles in the earth, the financial system, our sensual lives, our local, self-sufficient communities.

 

Jupiter in Cancer square Ceres in Aries

5th/6th February

Jupiter wants us to do family and home, Ceres says you can’t trust that, leave me alone. Try not to fight with family and get sent even deeper into our own personal underworld.

 

SATURN INTO ARIES

15th February

Saturn joins Neptune at 0 degrees Aries.

This is the moment that astrologers have been talking about for last couple of years; the big reset of our collective unconscious simultaneously beginning a new manifestation of it in the material world. This really marks the beginning of a new era. A new way of being begins here in our structural systems, in our framework of beliefs. This will show itself in all manner of ways. For better and worse.

Hollywood no longer provides us with adequate role models to aspire to. Now we want people working on enlightenment, awakening, and manifestation of higher vibrations here on earth. Is it delusional? This is our next journey, separating the wheat from the chaff. What is delusional, deceitful nonsense? Versus what really stands the test of time?
