2024 Leo Full Moon

The year’s first emotional release is larger than life – playful, attention-demanding, self-involved, and generally over the top.

The outlet is the 2024 Leo Full Moon, the sign of the child, the marker of the Baby Boom, and the dominion of the Sun. Because the Moon is in its sign, the Sun is in charge of this event, inflaming emotions with fieriness, spectacle, and expression of the self.

The month’s Capricorn emphasis has led to intense productivity that has, at times, felt relentless.

Everyone’s burning with the need for recognition, appreciation, validation, and evidence that what you’ve been working on – and that you — matters.

“Nobody puts Baby in the corner” is the 2024 Leo Full Moon’s imperative. Unlikely, a hunk will strut onto the scene to pull us into the spotlight (although these days, who knows), but we will all be pushing back against anything that does not honor our specialness.

Some people will exhibit more grace and style in this response than others. The proud and regal expression of Leo would be to ignore, yea, even walk away from, detractors and people who don’t get you.

The childlike-to-childish expression would be temper tantrums, foot stomping, and spectacles that scream, “Look at me, look at me, LOOK AT ME!”

You may be surprised by who takes the second approach. You may indulge in it yourself. So many of us have been under incredible, backbreaking pressure. Sometimes, a meltdown is cathartic and ultimately helpful, even if it clears the room.

The 2024 Leo Full Moon is bringing more than an epidemic of squalling toddlers, though. It also delivers a cornucopia of validation, honors, and tangible reinforcement of your inherent worth.

The common denominator: Everything is extreme.

Two influences are making everything cartoonishly, inescapably large.

One is more-more-more Jupiter in the resource-focused sign of Taurus. Jupiter is traveling in the opportunity aspect of a sextile to Saturn, the planet of order, commitment, and adulting, in the all-connecting sign of Pisces, a connection that’s dangling grounding cords and offers structure.

Jupiter is the 2024 Leo Full Moon’s point of focus. The Sun and the Moon are bearing down on Jupiter, who’s monkey-in-the-middle in a t-square, equally pressuring him with reason and with emotion.

The pressure is amplifying Jupiter’s indulgence in…well, amplification. Hence the enormity of the dramas and emotional venting.

There is a governor in the mix, however. The 2024 Leo Full Moon’s inconjunct to Saturn underscores the need for adjustments. Acting responsibly toward yourself may mean that something’s gotta give.

A calming point may come in early February when the traveling sextile between Jupiter and Saturn becomes as close as it will get.

The other reason for the 2024 Leo Full Moon’s extreme expression is also the other way in which it is a first. This Leo Full Moon is the first one in our lifetimes with Pluto in Aquarius.

The lord of the underworld has been in the futuristic, collective sign of Aquarius for only a few days. Still, this Moon tingles with the evolutionary change that’ll be unrolling over his next 20 years in the sign.

We got a foretaste of shifts in power (from top-heavy and institutional to lateral and community) and technology (Chat GPT is nothing compared to what’s coming) when the agent of unavoidable change lingered at the doorway to Aquarius from late March to mid-June 2023.

Now we’re in a proper orientation phase, with Pluto in Aquarius from January 20 to September 1. After a few weeks of final clean-up in Capricorn this fall, he’ll return to Aquarius on November 18.

For now, Pluto is directing a laser beam – and a laser scalpel – into the 2024 Leo Full Moon.

His presence is awakening fears, phobias, and obsessions that generally reside beneath the surface.

He’s stirring power games and moves and deep, dark secrets.

He’s pointing to situations, dramas, issues, patterns, and, yes, people that need to be cut away for our health and growth.

Listen for the distant but insistent voice repeating, “Resistance is futile.”

So, step into the spotlight. Claim it. Ask the stage manager to move anyone or anything that’s blocking it. Bask in it. Ignore the people in the audience who aren’t paying attention to you; their loss.

Expect to revisit, finetune, and finish the potentials of this Full Moon in December when retrograde Mars backtracks over this degree.
