This Leo Full Moon doesn't arrive quietly as Leo never does anything quiet does it? With the Sun in Human Design Gate 19 — the Gate of Wanting — and the Moon in Gate 33 — the Gate of Privacy — this lunation exposes where you've been bending yourself out of shape to belong, and where you've been withholding parts of yourself because it feels safer to stay unseen.

We're working the Leo–Aquarius axis with a stellium in Aquarius (Sun, Mars, Venus, Mercury, Pluto), creating tension between collective conformity and authentic self-expression. Mars and Venus oppose the Moon while Uranus in Taurus squares Mercury and Venus — lightning strike realizations about what you've been tolerating and what you actually need.

This episode breaks down the shamanic undercurrent of this Full Moon: Gate 19 as ancestral survival wiring, Gate 33 as descent into the cave to retrieve medicine, Aquarius as collective trance, and Leo as the force that breaks it. Plus deep-dive profile insights for all 12 Human Design profiles — not surface-level descriptions, but how this specific lunation lands in your design and what it's asking you to integrate.
