1st February 2026 – Excerpt from The Perennial Wheel
This Full Moon has the Moon in the fixed fire sign of Leo with the Sun opposite, in detriment, in the fixed air sign of Aquarius. This fixed mode indicates an unchanging and somewhat stubborn quality, the fire of Leo brings the warmth of regal pride and the air of Aquarius, the cool detachment of humanitarian ideals. The Sun, the ruling planet of Leo and of this lunation is in detriment in Saturn ruled Aquarius, therefore not as warming and gregarious as usual.
Mars has now passed its volatile conjunction with Pluto, but its effects can still linger and they contribute to the stellium with the Sun in Aquarius that also include Venus an Mercury in the later degrees.
Saturn is still in an awkward predicament in a 2 degree orb to Neptune which can indicate depression for those prone, and as Neptune is now at critical 0 degrees in Aries, deceptions maybe playing in your mind, try to be mindful that this will eventually pass. Chaotic Uranus is still exacerbating orderly Saturn and the convincing illusions of Neptune with an easy flowing sextile.
Moon, herbs and ritual
- The full moon is excellent for harvesting herbs and especially for mushroom foraging.
- A masculine fire moon thus dry and barren
- Support and tonify the heart and circulation
- Herbs could include hawthorn, motherwort and cayenne pepper
- A simple full moon ritual could be to take some time out, light a candle and incense and place an offering of honeyed milk or mead while mentally or verbally stating gratitude and or willed intent in prayer or meditation, then chill out.
‘The stars incline, they do not compel, a trinity of testimonial’s is needed for certainty. With foresight and preparation, a certainty can be prepared for, helping to either enhance or negate, as needed.’
These transits may affect you personally, if you are predisposed, this can be seen within your natal and other related charts, usually by what is termed a Trinity of Testimonial’s, though otherwise they are general.
If you are likely to be susceptible to this influence, making preparations of meditation and prayer, practicing forms of psychic self defence maybe necessary. The best psychic self defence is considered to be from those of your personal ancestral roots and not of foreign belief systems. Creating and maintaining a strong ancestral veneration practice is seen to strengthen against malicious forces.
The safe use of herbs and other remedies will always depend upon your unique health situation, and you should always take into consideration any possible contraindications; pregnancy and lactation, children’s doses, herb/drug combinations, allergic reactions and up and coming surgery, seek advice from your trusted health professional if not 100% sure.
