Full Moon in Leo | Wednesday, 2/12/2025 at 5:53 am PT
"Owning our story and loving ourselves through that process is the bravest thing that we’ll ever do." ~Brené Brown
"The Full Moon is a time to see clearly. When the moon shines bright she lets us view all parts of ourselves, especially our shadow. She gives us the space to look at where we want to go and allows us to see if we are walking on the right path. Which begs the question: Am I walking on the right path for me?"

Full Moon in Leo | Wednesday, 2/12/2025, at 5:53 am PT
"As Aquarius season unfolds, the Full Moon in the opposite sign of Leo brings our attention to how we link our personal and creative development with the awareness that we are an integral part of a greater whole. This event underlines the value of individual self-actualization as a catalyst for collective progress, while bringing our attention to the friction we may experience between our personal needs and the expectations of the groups we are part of. The Leo Full Moon squares Uranus in Taurus and opposes Mercury in Aquarius. This configuration marks an increase in our desire for change, freedom, and authentic living and is likely to inspire many of us to make decisions that allow us to break free from stagnation and explore life on our own terms."
~Moon Omens

Valentine's Day ❤️
"Yes, this day has been commodified to push sales of roses and candy hearts — but it also reminds us that our primary relationships are worthy of some serious doting. Be they with best friends, romantic partners, family members, chosen family, beloved pets, or creative collaborators, our connections are portals to transformation. They’re testing grounds, sites of support, and sources of vitality. We can subvert the sugary clichés of this holiday by leaning in to the intricacies of the planet Venus, who rules not only romance but deep intimacy, platonic love, self-love, beauty, art, fairness, and pleasure."
~Chani Nicholas
"Valentine’s Day falls under the sign of Aquarius, an air sign ruled by Uranus that represents innovation, humanitarianism and unconventional thinking. Aquarius encourages exploring love beyond conventional boundaries while the cosmic energies of Uranus add an air of unpredictability and originality that allows individuals to break free from society norms to express love their way.
Celestial bodies colliding during this time also has an emotional influence; Venus, the planet associated with love, is in an especially prominent spot during Valentine’s Day and helps foster romantic energy throughout. This cosmic alignment encourages you to delve deeply into your emotions while building meaningful connections that align with divine rhythm of the universe.
Directing Emotional Currents On Valentine’s Day, emotions run high – each wave carrying with it potential for personal transformation and growth. Take this day as an opportunity to delve deep within yourself to uncover hidden depths of love that go far beyond superficial surfaces."
