About the full Moon and Neptune, February 1 2026
The full moon in Leo makes it easy to express your emotions spontaneously and without restraint. For others this may quickly feel like too much, but self-expression in many forms (speaking, painting, writing, etc.) can help bring what you’re feeling into the light. Leo helps you find the courage to live from your heart and (more) from autonomy. Feeling what your heart longs for, and then stepping into the world with confidence.
The Sun shines its light on the Moon from Aquarius, and Mercury and Venus (next to each other), as well as Mars and Pluto, are also in Aquarius. This creates an electric energy and brings renewal into your life like a lightning bolt. What your heart is drawn to may therefore be something entirely new, yet it resonates with who you are here and now.
The Moon and Sun do not form any other major aspects. A significant event, however, is that from January 26 Neptune moved from Pisces into Aries, where it will remain until 2038. Neptune is a generational planet; it takes an entire generation to move through one sign. Such a change of sign also says something about the collective. Neptune spent 14 years in Pisces, which was beneficial for personal spiritual development, but not for structured matters like society: boundaries blurred, it brought a vague or uncertain time of existence, with little clarity about what was really going on, which could lead to daydreaming, escaping, or ‘not really being there.’
Now that Neptune is moving into Aries, this doesn’t change everything overnight, but you begin to feel again what you want to stand for. It’s as if your inner fire is reignited and your initiative or sense of purpose increases. What dreams did you have, and which ones do you want to realize? What do you want to live for? This brings more clarity from within: which boundaries do you experience, and which will you express? The image of an ‘enemy’ will completely change in the coming years, and with it the causes or passions you will commit to from your own free will. Fighting for a greater good, a higher purpose, for ‘heaven on earth’, are parts of this.
During the full moon you can feel extra clearly what may pass on, or has survived, and be carried into the next phase. Your heart shows what it is on fire for, and what it is not. So make time to listen.
Saturn will also move to 0° Aries on February 14 (marking the energy of the upcoming solar eclipse). Neptune and Saturn will be exactly on the same degree on February 21. Saturn joining Neptune can help break a habit. Is there something you’re addicted to, that sabotages you or holds you back in your development? This is a perfect time to break free from something in which you lose yourself. Pay attention to where you experience a spark, something greater than your ego, or where you (re)recognize a deep truth. The shift is here, and you are partly at the wheel, responsible for your choices and able to help shape your future.
