Thursday, January 25 at 6:55 p.m. (Paris time), the first Full Moon of the year 2024. Called Snow Moon or Ice Moon (very appropriate for the northern part of France), it is placed in the sign of Leo and is announced this year rather early. This lunation is out of the ordinary, it can be the last step before success, bringing great professional satisfaction, big promotions, recognition for merits, applause for successes. Or conversely, “if you have felt this lunation rising in a somewhat catastrophic way, it can be explosive, with drama, dissatisfaction, loss of esteem and self-control” analyzes Joyce Duval, astrologer and professor of astrology. In the sign of Leo, this Moon therefore promises to be bright, certainly, but also powerful, since it is anchored in luminous energies, to celebrate a return of light and the Sun which makes the snow and ice shine.
The positive or negative energies of this Full Moon in Leo
What are the different energies of this lunation? Joyce Duval explained in the introduction, this Full Moon can be double: on one side very positive, on the other catastrophic. Let’s take stock of these two scenarios. Vector of a beautiful “success on the horizon or a drama brewing“, what should you expect?
A positive Full Moon, especially for business
Leo, with his splendor and his aura, brings an energy that “makes you want to move forward and do lots of things” begins Joyce. Haloed in light (the Sun is her planet), it is THE great fighter of the zodiac, “symbol of self-satisfaction, courage and tenacity” adds the astrologer.
On the professional side, he is there to glean honors and shine!
On the heart side, this lunation is “bearer of great feelings, beautiful declarations of love, grandiose gifts: you have to do things in a big way“says Joyce!
Financially, this Moon can be one of both happiness and misfortune. Depending on the sign and energy, it can bring a “increase, a promotion, a check or unpaid debts“, be careful, warns the astrologer. A watchword is essential: capitalize!
We must take advantage of this to tighten the budget, to avoid unknown expenses but also to surf on possible success.
The negative effects of this Full Moon: watch out for the explosion!
Faced with this description of the flamboyant character of Leo, we can already see the second side of the coin appear: the ego. This Moon is one of them, it can announce in its more negative side a rise in ego, a theatricality which can reinforce this need to shine to the point of excess. Joyce also sees a possibility of “fire to the powder at the slightest annoyance“, especially because of Gemini! The latter like to make jokes (sometimes spicy) constantly, even if it means offending, but during this Full Moon it might no longer work! Same with teasing Bull or the excessive Scorpio, watch your words and jokes! “Be careful who you talk to” advises the astrologer.
To correct the possible negative effects, Joyce suggests taking a walk if the weather permits, going to the cinema or putting on classical music to relax the atmosphere. Avoid angry topics or discussions about money as much as possible.
The signs most impacted by the Full Moon of January 25
During this lunation, certain signs will be more favored than others. Among them: nativesof Leo, Leo ascendants or people with a cluster (several planets in Leo” announces Joyce. We also find the other signs of Fire, Aries and Sagittarius, “in the front row to enjoy this Full Moon” promises the astrologer.
As for the signs impacted more negatively, Water signs will have to be careful, they risk feeling either “extinguished or bubbling“, explains Joyce, so be careful of getting nervous or being too passive during this period.
Rituals to perform during this Full Moon in Leo
This is the perfect Moon to cut your hair if you wish.”maintain your mane, boost its regrowth and volume” enthuses Joyce Duval! She advises cutting the day before or the same day until 6 p.m. On the contrary, if you have too much hair and want to cut in the pile to tame the regrowth, wait until the next day.
On the care side. to the body, Leo likes to eat healthy, local and fresh, so favor seasonal products.
What ritual to practice?
For a Moon in a Fire sign, we rely on candles, which we burn. We choose them white for purity, green for money, pink for love and gold for success, depending on what we want to attract. On the stone side, you recharge your diamond, this is the perfect time to (have) it cleaned. Otherwise, we rely on yellow or orange stones, for protection, Joyce Duval suggests:
- sunstone, for prosperity and luck
- golden beryl attracts love,
- amber, to boost self-affirmation and stimulate the immune system,
- citrine for abundance and creativity.
