The Leo Full Moon Gives You All the Reasons to Choose Courage

Go big or go home! On January 25, 2024, the Leo full moon turns the entire world into a talent show. Where could you be more visible? Start your mental preparation now.

The first full moon of 2024, in Leo on Thursday, January 25 (at 12:54 PM EST), could bring an opportunity to put your creative talents on display, or at least be more courageous with your self-expression. It emboldens you to take a walk on the wild side!

The January full moon is also a romantic one, being in heartfelt Leo. This could spark an early Valentine’s Day celebration.

Be discerning, though, about how much you share at once, whether you’re pitching a creative concept or telling your life story to a new friend. The Leo full moon is at odds with outspoken Jupiter and opposite secretive Pluto, so some strategic withholding works in your favor.

If you focus on deeper emotional connections instead of just impressing people or putting on a performance, you’ll have them eating out of your stiletto-manicured hand without much effort.

What To Do At The January Full Moon In Leo

If you have all the toys, how can you share?

The year’s only Leo full moon brings out a collective spirit of courage and leadership. Full moons are literally about fullness. We’ve reached a moment of maximum light. This can help us to see situations clearly, illuminate a path for others, manifest our desires and share our light and love.

These magnanimous moonbeams inspire benevolence. If you’re the kid with all the toys, how can you share them with others?

Beyond the material realm, focus on being a role model.

Where have you triumphed over the odds? Share your story with the world and inspire other people to keep on keeping on. 

What do you want more than anything?

Tune into your heart (the Leo-ruled part of the body) and let it point you in the direction of your dreams. And ask the full moon to help make your desires a reality.

In Love, the Leo Full Moon greenlights soul-bearing (and selfies!)

Should you post those “tastefully risqué” selfies? Submit your work to a juried competition? Bare your soul to your secret crush? The Leo full moon says, “do it

You don’t have to be polished or perfect before you put yourself out there. Nope! This lion-hearted lunar lift rewards courage. Although there’s a performative energy to the day, try to genuinely connect with people instead of just wowing them with your pizazz.

What not to do? Court controversy with wild antics or spark a public feud just to rile people up.
