Moon Dancer: Full Moon Leo / New Moon Aquarius
🌕 February 1, Full Moon in Leo
The full moon lands on Imbolc this year - when we are half way between Winter and Spring, and the returning light is drawing nearer. Leo is all about stepping into the light: creativity, courage, heart-centered expression, and personal authenticity. This is a moment to step into your own spotlight, honoring what you uniquely bring into the world.
A somatic journal prompt for your body:
Where in my body do I long to shine? What needs to be released to help me express, play and be seen more fully?
At the full moon we practice gratitude and release.
In movement: Stand tall and feel the spine lengthen. Open the chest, release the shoulders, and invite expansive gestures. Explore claiming space, radiating from the core, moving with joy and boldness. Let the fire of your body ignite authentic expression, without editing or holding back.
🌑 February 16, New Moon / Solar Eclipse in Aquarius
The New Moon and Solar Eclipse activate the Air of Aquarius: innovation, freedom, radical imagination, and connection. This is a powerful time to plant seeds for new ways of being, both individually and collectively, and to step into practices that allow your uniqueness to align with something larger than yourself.
A somatic journal prompt for your body:
Where do I long to move differently, explore new possibilities, or connect in novel ways, to myself, others, or the world?
At the new moon we set intentions for what we want to create.
In movement: Play with asymmetry, lateral gestures, spirals, and unusual shapes. Experiment with pauses, suspension, and fluidity. Let the dance feel like a laboratory of freedom and imagination. Notice how the body responds to novelty, opening to possibilities beyond habit or routine. Expand your movement repertoire and be open to new possibilities.
Between Air & Fire: The Aquarius–Leo Axis
This axis balances meaningful self-expression.
Leo reminds us to radiate from the heart, to move with courage, pleasure, and personal creativity.
Aquarius invites us to expand outward, innovate, and explore collective connection and new ideas.
Between these moons, let your dance explore the dialogue between being fully yourself and contributing to something greater. Move boldly from your core, then allow that energy to ripple outward in unconventional, liberated gestures. Notice how personal expression sparks connection, and how connection calls for inventive, free, and expansive movement.
