LEO FULL MOON TOTAL LUNAR ECLIPSE 2017

The Leo Full Moon will be eclipsed by the Sun in Aquarius on Friday Feb 10 or early Feb 11 if you are closer to GMT.
Leo is ruled by the Sun so to be eclipsed by the ball of fire while cocooned in the emotional moon asks us to love ourselves and hold ourselves gently.
The energy we are receiving here regards our creativity, our generosity – which we give to ourselves, first, and our very hearts.
With Aquarius sun it is like solar flares of creative genius are going to shock each one of us into a creative cycle. With Mars in Aries til March 9 we are connecting instinctually to that creativity and to each other.
At first we may just have roiling feelings, a fire in the belly that moves to the heart and the head.
We may not make anything at first as the influx of energy moves in waves through us. But the waves will keep coming and receding and in the calm moments ideas will be revealed. We can then commit to paper or video or conversation the creative outpouring that each one of us alone has to give.
In joining with our friends and our communities –as Aquarius is the rebel who relishes friends, the alienated one who yearns for its group, we share these pieces of ourselves that are becoming more clear and more authentic the more we have the courage to share them.
Sometimes, we may not understand what we are coming up with UNTIL we share it – we may find then, that we may have been designing one side of a coin and a friend, unbidden, has been designing the other.
In this way, the beauty and usefulness and integration of each of our creative self expression can be identified.
Each voice, each muffin, each painting, each idea, each solution or tidbit of a solution contributes to the whole.
We may sometimes go off on our own and gestate and reflect and produce. We then come back to the friend(s) and find how our pieces fit together. Like stone soup or a potluck dinner or a crazy quilt.
So if you feel ablaze with ideas one minute and incinerated the next, that's ok. Go with the kindest process for yourself. Be warm hearted and generous with yourself first. Send loving soothing vibrations to your own physical heart every day. Thanks for beating. Thanks for leading the way and for the guidance you give. Leo rules the Heart. Aquarius rules the higher mind. The Head and the Heart and the fire of gut awareness that is Mars in Aries are integrating so that we can be useful on all levels – for ourselves and for the good of the whole.
It takes heart, it takes courage, it takes naps in the Sun that lead to the allowing of flashes of genius.
We then create the lives we want with ease and grace and the delight of expansion.
Love, Lydia
