This karmic Full Moon takes place on February 16th on the Leo-Aquarius axis.
Each Full Moon brings relationship issues to the forefront as the give and take are emphasized. Emotions are strong, and for some of us, it is a time for making decisions and welcoming changes. as many now realize they are ready for a change.
The Moon in Leo stirs up emotions within us, tinged with passion and joy. We desire creativity and self-expression. We want to be accepted and admired.
Opposite the Moon, the Sun is in the sign of Aquarius prompts us to rationalize emotions. It makes us more objective; it resists drama and seeks cooperation, to work together in a tandem or in a team.
This opposition, in its negative aspect, increases tension in relationships: selfish attitudes, excessive emotionalism, and attempts to impose one person feelings on others. This can result in detachment and coldness in relationships.
During this Full Moon, it is important to rationally analyze and understand emotions. Also, Mercury is in the sign of Aquarius now; it means that thoughts seek a clear expression, desire to find commonality, and establish respect for each person’s individuality. A search of independence and freedom is emphasized.
Let’s take pair skating as an analogy. The skating of two persons in unison with passion and harmony, with their hearts beating at the same rhythm, as one. Their movements in such perfect alignment with each other full of emotion and joy of collaboration.
The beauty of the dance is created by this work together. If one of the partners is trying to show off in their attempt to get more points from the judges or audience, it immediately diminishes the other’s partner efforts.
We can reach success if we attune ourselves to each other, otherwise we will fall onto… ice.
Why am I emphasizing the importance of relationships and love?
The Universe has been working its magic for several months now, either bringing lovers together, or further strengthening the bonds between existing couples who are meant to be together. These are souls that the Universe needs to work together for the common purpose of improving the Collective Unconscious and to release powerful positive energy through their unions.
The above is NOT something that all couples will achieve no matter what. but will only come as a result of awareness of the importance of the relationship and understanding of the role that the lovers-dancers are called upon to play today.
I wrote previously that 2022 will be a very erotic year for some of you, and this Full Moon highlights this very theme. Related post November 5, 2021 here: https://cosmosofastrology.com/2022-love-year/

Mars and Venus have begun their several-week-long conjunction, as they pass hand-in-hand through the 17° degree of Capricorn on the day of the Full Moon and will continue to be together until the 10° degree of Aquarius in mid-March, and remaining together, in a more open conjunction, for several days afterwards.
So, “the skater couples” are called upon to dance their parts. A male and a female, having been chosen by the Universe to do it, and this Full Moon is their dress rehearsal.
It is at this Full Moon, then, that the two dancers will lay the foundations of their success.
Mars and Venus are in an open trine with the planet Uranus in two aspects that bring excitement, renewal, new relationships, and the ability to enjoy independence while in an existing relationship.
Jupiter and Uranus will accurately form a hexagon aspect to each other a few hours after the Full Moon, bringing opportunities and new possibilities for expansion, positive change, progress, redefining philosophy, and worldview for mutual benefit.
The Moon’s Nodes are in a favorable trine – sextile formation with Pluto, bringing fateful encounters, transformation, psychological empowerment, determination, and evolution.

But then, where’s the problem, you may wonder.

What makes this Full Moon so special is that it is in a perfect square to the Moon’s Nodes, so it’s like a final test as to whether the couple will make it.
Pluto’s influence is ABSOLUTE, and positive on the one hand BUT the role that the LUNAR NODES have in this Moon is difficult, and that’s why it marks a critical and karmic period for the next two weeks.
Only if the EGO is overcome, and the WE is empowered, only if the ultimate goal is TRANQUILITY, only through understanding the MEANING that each UNION gives, then and only then, the outcome will be positive and mutually EVOLVE.

It is a full moon that, of course, does not bring all of the above to all Zodiac Signs, but it works most positively for AQUARIUS, TAURUS, VIRGO, but also for SCORPIOs and PISCES Signs, born in the last five days of their Zodiac Sign. Also, for those of you who have personal planets or points of your horoscope at 25°- 29° degrees of the above Zodiac signs.
It poses the crucial test for LEOS, AQUARIUS, ARIES, SAGITTARIUS, GEMINI, and LIBRAS, born on the same dates and degrees.
You are also very likely to make a new relationship that will transform you, especially if the Full Moon falls in the 5th or 7th house, of your personal horoscope.
The time remains difficult for the FIXED ZODIAC SIGNS of the early second decan, and for CANCERS of the last few days.
I wish a beautiful Full Moon, to all of you, and take care not to fall with a karmic slip.
