Full Moon in Leo - February 2026

Hi everyone! I hope that you’re staying safe and warm and that you are able to find moments of peace during these difficult world events and cold weather.

Our next Full Moon will be in Leo and take place on February 1, 2026 at 5:09 PM ET. Leo wants to be in the spotlight and the Moon will be at its most visible phase so there could be a theme of visibility and light. This could be a time to put yourself out there or be in the spotlight. Additionally, the ruler of this Moon, the Sun, is in Aquarius so it could also be a time where things are coming the surface or you have a clearer understanding. It could look like stepping up to the plate even though you may feel a little uncomfortable doing so or taking a stand for what you believe in. There also might be a creative energy that brings ideas to life.

The Moon is opposing three planets at this time — Venus, Mercury, and Mars, so there is definitely a challenging quality in the air. Connection might feel difficult during this time or it may be harder to relate to others. It might be tough to express your feelings or voice opinions. With Mars in the mix, you want to be careful to not be hasty to cut people off or speak rashly. To deal with these challenges, it could be a matter of leaning into bravery or finding comfort in the familiar.

The Sun isn’t very comfortable in Aquarius. The Sun prefers warmth and sunlight and Aquarius season takes place in the peak of winter. The Sun focuses on self and Aquarius focuses on the collective. This gives another indication of difficulty. Since a Full Moon is an opposition between the Moon and the Sun, this means that the Sun is conjoining the same planets the Moon is opposing (Venus, Mercury, and Mars). So you have an opportunity to integrate some positivity into relationships, thoughts, or actions. However, you might feel that you are spent and want to retreat and that is okay too.

Overall, you will likely have a choice to try to see the silver lining in situations or to let it affect you in a negative way. The vibes might feel heavy, complex, or confusing. You heart could feel one way and your mind another. Remember that two things can be true at the same time. It is important to find balance and take care of yourself in the way that you are capable in these trying moments.
