FULL MOON IN LEO
In the Arabic Lunar Mansion of confidence and power
On February 1, we have a Full Moon in the fixed fire sign Leo. It takes place in an Arabic Lunar Mansion (Manzil) called The Lion’s Brow, The Lion’s Mane or The Lion’s Rider. The planets connected to this Mansion are Saturn and Venus, with the associated qualities of power, royalty, rulership, success, and material gain. The connected Arabic number is 10, symbolizing full manifestation on the material plane.
This is fully in line with Leo’s nature and is overall a very encouraging energy, leaving no room for feeling powerless or despondent. Furthermore, there is no room for negotiation or compromise unless a true balance between one’s own needs and those of the collective can be achieved. In other words: finding one’s place in the world, maybe not by grand, visible achievements, but stemming from an inner confidence, and conviction of one’s worth, and being bold enough to stand up for oneself. It also challenges us to look at our own ideas vs those of the group, and to dare abandon what feels comfortable in the seemingly protective arms of the masses.
On a more personal level, we are called to be selective about who we let into our own closer circle, and not be afraid to lose people who either fall away naturally, or turn out to be less than straightforward. The famous “Ain’t nobody got time for that!“ meme is comically apt here.
Leo’s infamous ego is very helpful, showing us the necessary boundaries we need in order to abandon who/ what doesn’t respect us, but it also cautions us to respect ourselves enough to not need constant validation and praise from others.
The Manzil’s associated planets, Saturn and Venus, are in Pisces and Aquarius, respectively. Where Venus’ placement is optimistic and outgoing, aiming to profit from and through collaboration with others, Saturn in Pisces lacks discernment, is too easily swayed, and might bring a few reality checks here and there. What this tells us is: you need to be unafraid of facing the truth about others within your social circles, but also take responsibility for how you act and react. It’s supposed to be a give and take, and while it may never be the perfect 50/50, it needs to leave everyone involved with a feeling of not having been taken for a ride.
Representing a closed chapter and accomplished task in some way, the Full Moon shows us an area in our life, depending on which house in our chart it is located in, where we have come to important conclusions and gained a level of confidence that fuels the fulfillment of our desires and needs.

Been feeling super energetic and motivated. This is a pattern with this moon, for me at least.
Like your last full moon post, this description of the current full moon also perfectly describes what I'm feeling and going through! You've really nailed it!
