LOVE THE INNER CHILD
On February 12th, 2025, the Full Moon in Leo shines brightly at 24° Leo, illuminating the sky with its fiery brilliance. Full Moons mark a time of culmination, revelation, and emotional intensity. Leo, ruled by the Sun, represents the divine child within us all—full of joy, creativity, and self-expression. This February 2025 Full Moon in Leo brings a powerful mix of energies, as it squares Uranus in Taurus, opposes Mercury in Aquarius, and trines Chiron in Aries.
Expect the unexpected, as Uranus shakes the foundations of what we thought was stable. The opposition to Mercury demands honest self-reflection, while Chiron, the wounded healer, offers a path to deep emotional healing. The healing invitation of this Full Moon? Loving your inner child—embracing the parts of you that felt unworthy or unseen and giving them the love they always deserved.
Awakening the Inner Child
Leo energy is bold, radiant, and unapologetically expressive, but what if your inner child was once silenced? What if you were told that you were too much, too loud, too sensitive, or too different to belong? The February 2025 Full Moon in Leo challenges you to awaken the forgotten parts of yourself and bring them back to life.
With Uranus in Taurus squaring the Moon, expect revelations that shake you out of old conditioning. Uranus brings disruption, but it does so to liberate you from what is no longer serving your growth. You may suddenly realise the ways in which you have suppressed your true self to fit into societal or family expectations. Now is the time to reclaim your joy, your spontaneity, and your ability to play without fear of judgment.
Ask yourself: What parts of me did I learn to hide in order to be accepted? How can I give myself permission to be fully seen?
Breaking the Old Narrative
For many, childhood was shaped by the need to conform to family expectations. Some were taught that love had to be earned through achievement, obedience, or sacrifice. Others learned that their dreams, emotions, or unique qualities were inconvenient. This Full Moon, with Mercury in Aquarius opposing the Moon, asks us to rewrite the old narrative.
Mercury, freshly separated from the Sun, brings clarity and truth. It invites us to challenge the beliefs instilled in us and create new mental patterns that support, rather than diminish, our authentic selves. Your inner child deserves to hear a new message—one rooted in love, acceptance, and self-worth.
Take a moment to reflect: What did my inner child need to hear that they never did?
Now, say it. Say it out loud. Write it down. Affirm it until it becomes a new truth.
Healing Through Self-Love
The trine to Chiron in Aries is the guiding light of this Full Moon, reminding us that healing is not about erasing the past but about integrating it. Chiron teaches us that our wounds are not proof of our brokenness; they are the birthplace of our greatest wisdom.
Loving your inner child means embracing all the moments you felt unworthy and reminding yourself that you are enough—just as you are. It means taking courageous action to express yourself, even if your voice shakes. It means dancing, laughing, playing, and reconnecting with joy, even if it feels weird and unusual.
Under this Leo Full Moon, take a step toward self-love by doing something that makes your inner child feel safe and celebrated. Whether it’s engaging in creative expression, spending time with animals, singing at the top of your lungs, or simply telling yourself, I am lovable just as I am, let this Full Moon be a turning point toward deeper self-acceptance.
February 2025 Full Moon in Leo: Love the Inner Child
The February 2025 Full Moon in Leo is a powerful call to love yourself fiercely, and the child within. The square to Uranus shakes us free from old limitations, Mercury’s opposition asks us to shift our mindset, and Chiron’s trine offers a path to healing.
Now is the time to celebrate who you are. To love the parts of yourself that once felt unworthy. Speak the words of encouragement your younger self longed to hear and radiate your essence unapologetically.
Because when you love the inner child, you awaken the magic, joy, and brilliance that have always been within you.
What is one thing you will do today to honour your inner child?
Let the light of this Full Moon guide you back to yourself.
With love and care,
