On February 1, 2026, the Full Moon in Leo arrives like a golden spotlight for your heart, and in my world, she is guided by Venus as She Who Enthrones the Heart. This isn’t the love that begs, over-explains, or waits to be chosen, it’s the love that remembers, “My very existence is an offering.” Under this moon, the invitation is simple and profound: treat your heart like a royal altar instead of a problem to fix.
One of the easiest ways to work with this energy is through a small, at‑home ritual: a single candle, one object that makes you feel beautiful, a few slow breaths, and a moment of honest reflection about how you want to experience love more boldly this year. Love here is not just romance, it is friendship, creativity, devotion to your path, tenderness with your body, and the way you allow the divine feminine to move through your daily life. When you adorn yourself intentionally and look into your own eyes with softness instead of critique, you are already practicing Venusian magic.
If this stirs something in you and you’re longing for more goddess‑centered ritual, my Patreon Moon Temple is where we go deeper with the Leo Full Moon and every full moon of 2026. There, I share full guided rituals, extended Venus invocations, journal journeys, and ongoing teachings for spiritual seekers of the divine feminine who want structure, beauty, and emotional safety around their practice. You’re warmly invited to step into the temple and let your heart be enthroned with us.
Let us meditate together for romantic Union during the full moon in Venus (Feb 1st). Feel free to use this guided meditation. Thank you for being here, and I will continue to share full moon goddess materials.
Meditation
Close your eyes, beloved, and let your body find a position that feels supported and at ease, seated or lying down, spine long, heart softening.
Take a slow breath in through your nose, letting the air fill your chest, your ribs, your belly. Hold for a gentle count of three. Exhale slowly through your mouth, as if you are sighing out the weight of the day.
Again: breathe in, letting your heart space rise and open. Hold. Exhale, and imagine anything heavy around your heart sliding down and out, into the earth.
One more time, deep inhale. Gentle hold. Slow exhale. Let your breath now fall into a natural, steady rhythm, like the tide moving in and out under a moonlit sky.
Now, with your eyes still closed, imagine the night around you. Above you, the Moon is full in Leo: a great golden lantern in the sky, radiant, warm, and regal. Her light does not glare; it glows, like candlelight on polished gold.
See that lunar light pouring down in a soft column, touching the crown of your head, brushing your forehead, your throat, and then resting, warm and steady, over your heart. This light is healing for you. Accept any healing your being is ready for. Each breath you take draws more of that Leo moonlight into your chest. Inhale: the light flows in. Exhale: the light settles and expands through your ribs, your shoulders, your upper back.
Now, in the center of that moonlit space in your chest, imagine a small throne. It may look like carved stone, living vines, warm wood, or pure light. Or by Venus’ grace, what about a crystal or gold throne. This is the throne of your heart, the place where your love, your courage, and your desire are meant to sit in honor. Honor your heart.
For a moment, notice: has this throne been empty? Has someone else been sitting there, another person, an old story, a fear of being “too much”? Simply notice, without judgment, and with each breath, let the Leo moonlight gently clear away whatever does not belong on that throne.
Now, call Venus. Not a cartoon Valentine, but the living goddess of love and beauty, of magnetic presence and sacred desire. See her stepping into the moonbeam beside you, shimmering in rose-gold light, eyes bright and kind.
Feel her presence: warm, confident, unapologetically loving.
She places one hand on your back between your shoulder blades, one hand lightly over your heart. Her touch is both soothing and activating, like warm water and starlight at once.
Hear her voice in whatever tone feels most natural to you, and let her speak into your heart:
“You are not here to beg for love. You are here as love. You are not here to prove your worthiness. You are here to remember it.”
As she speaks, feel the throne in your heart becoming more solid, more real. Venus invites you now to sit upon it. With your next inhale, imagine yourself stepping forward inside your own heart, turning, and lowering yourself onto that inner throne. Feel how it supports you. Notice how it feels to sit as if you were inherently worthy of tenderness, of devotion, of being cherished.
If any resistance arises, doubts, old pain, fears about romance, or being seen, acknowledge them softly. Then see the Leo full moon above you, brightening, pouring more light into your chest, washing through those old patterns like warm, golden rain. You don’t need to fix everything in this moment; you only need to sit, and breathe, and allow.
Now bring your awareness to romantic love and union, in whatever way that is true for you right now. You might be in partnership, calling in partnership, healing from heartbreak, or simply deepening your relationship with your own soul. There is no wrong way to be here.
Gently, ask your heart: “What kind of love feels safe and radiant for me now? What kind of union, with another or with myself, allows me to stay on my throne?” Do not force an answer. Simply let any sensations, images, or words float up from the heart space, carried on your breath like small petals on water.
Now feel Venus standing beside your throne, as if this full moon and the coming Valentine’s season are a corridor she is walking you through. She leans close, and you hear:
“In this month of hearts and roses, you are not a bargain to be hunted for a sale. You are an altar. Every romance that approaches you, including the one you have with your own life, must bow to this truth.”
Let those words sink in. Feel how they change the way you sit, the way your shoulders rest, the way your chest opens. If it feels right, place your physical hand over your heart and breathe into your palm, as if you are blessing your own body with this understanding.
Now, bring to mind one simple intention for this Leo full moon with Venus, something gentle and clear: “I allow myself to be loved in ways that honor my heart.” “I choose relationships where I can shine and feel safe.” “I am ready to heal the story that says I must shrink to be loved.”
Choose one sentence, or let your own arise. Repeat it silently with your breath three times.
On the first repetition, feel the words fill your chest. On the second, feel them expand through your whole body. On the third, imagine the words rising up to the full moon, to Venus, as a clear signal sent into the subtle currents of this month.
Know that as Valentine’s approaches, you are not waiting passively for love to find you. You are already generating a field of love from your own enthroned heart, and that field will quietly shape the invitations, relationships, and decisions that come your way.
Take a few more breaths in the moonlit temple of your chest. See Venus smiling, knowing that this is only a beginning, a prelude to deeper ritual, deeper healing, deeper union. She touches your shoulder once more and says:
“Remember this feeling when the world starts shouting about love. Remember that you have a throne inside you. Sit here first, and let everything else come from there.”
When you are ready, imagine the Leo full moon’s light softening, becoming a gentle glow that stays inside your heart as a small, steady flame. The throne remains. Your seat is waiting whenever you close your eyes and return.
Begin to deepen your breath. Wiggle your fingers and toes. Feel the surface beneath you, the room around you.
On your next exhale, let your eyes slowly open, carrying with you the quiet radiance of your own enthroned heart, already in conversation with Venus, already preparing for the full moon and the season of love ahead.
You’re invited to participate in my full moon goddess ritual for the Leo Full Moon. We shall work with Venus.
If my words, poems, or goddess musings have ever felt like a quiet companion to you… I’ve created a space where that energy lives and breathes more deeply.

Beloved, I have lit the flame within you, and now I ask you to hold it, not scatter it. The world outside is quiet, frozen, slowed by storm, and this is no accident. Fire does not always leap; sometimes it coils, learning its own strength.
Let your desire warm you from the inside. Let your vision mature in stillness. What you are becoming does not need witnesses yet.
The Full Moon approaches, and with it, clarity. For now, stand rooted, feel your power spiral upward, and trust that when the time comes, your flame will know exactly where to go.

The second full moon of the year is almost here, rising in all her radiant power on February 1st.
Full moons are moments of illumination, revealing what’s ready to be released and what’s meant to bloom. This one carries a potent energy of renewal, clarity, and deep feminine wisdom.
As the moon swells, you might be feeling emotions rise within you too: insights surfacing, patterns asking to be shed, or dreams calling to be manifested. This is the perfect time to slow down, create sacred space, and reconnect with your inner goddess, that wild, intuitive essence that knows what you truly need.
Preparing for the Full Moon Energy
Here are a few ways you can begin aligning with the energy of this upcoming full moon:
Cleanse your space and self. Smudge or diffuse herbs like sage, mugwort, or lavender to clear stagnant energy around you.
Journal your release intentions. Write down what you’re ready to let go of: habits, fears, or doubts that no longer serve your path.
Charge your crystals. Place your favorite stones on the windowsill to absorb the coming moonlight.
Move your body with intention. Dance, stretch, or simply sway, invite the lunar rhythm to flow through you.

If you imagine a priestess starting a spiritual business, you might picture endless free time, silent mornings, long baths, and perfectly staged altars. That is not my reality. My reality is five kids who need breakfast, a sink that never empties, and a brain that holds grocery lists and goddess invocations at the same time. My reality is feeling the moon pulling on my emotions, wanting to honour her with ritual, and then realizing it is already midnight and I am exhausted. For a long time, I used that as proof that I could not be “properly spiritual” or “ready” for my own business.
Then I noticed something: the women I wanted to serve were living the same kind of life. They were not waiting in monasteries with nothing to do; they were working, parenting, caregiving, healing from religion, rediscovering their bodies after trauma or shame. They did not need a priestess who lived in a tower of perfection; they needed a priestess who knew how to pray while stirring the pot, to invoke Aphrodite while folding laundry, to speak with Persephone while brushing her teeth, to call on Hekate at the crossroads of everyday decisions. They needed a temple that would fit inside a human schedule.
This is where Lovestar Temple comes in. It is my answer to the question: “How can I keep ritual in my life forever, not just when things are easy?” For 2026, I created a Full Moon Goddess calendar and journal, not because I am organized by nature, but because I know that without a plan, my rituals will be the first thing sacrificed to exhaustion. The calendar pre-plans the altars, the archetypes, the questions, so that when life is loud, ritual is still possible. Ten minutes at the sink becomes a moon bath. A single page in a journal becomes a temple floor on which you can kneel. Ritual becomes sustainable, not fragile.
Fear still whispers: “What if no one comes? What if they judge you? What if you fail in public?” But when those fears surface, something deeper answers: “This was never just about success. This was about creating a home for women who feel the same ache you do.” If you are reading this and your body longs for ritual but your life feels too full, Lovestar Temple was built with you in mind. You are invited, not as a perfect devotee, but as you are: messy, tired, hopeful, holy. In this temple, every imperfect attempt at showing up counts as worship.
There was a moment when I realized that if I waited to feel “ready,” Lovestar Temple would never exist. I would keep writing love poems in the cracks of my day, mothering five children, scrolling past other people’s dreams, and telling myself I needed more time, more money, more structure, more permission. But under all of that, there was a softer, truer confession: I was afraid of being seen as what I really am, a priestess of the feminine body-temple, a woman who turned her own desire for ritual into a living sanctuary.
I grew up in the church, where ritual had a time, a place, and a building. I miss that sometimes: the predictable rhythm, the way you always knew when the candles would be lit and the songs would rise. That cadence shaped my nervous system. It taught me that ritual is not just “woo”; it is structure, medicine, calendar, container. But as a working mother of five, those old forms of ritual no longer fit my life. I do not have two hours to prepare elaborate altars every week. I have ten minutes in my bathroom. I have the walk from the kitchen to the laundry. I have the curve of my own hip and the softness of my own voice. Somewhere along the line, I realized: what if my body is the sanctuary now?
Lovestar Temple was born from that question. It is my mission-led, ongoing experiment in turning a human woman’s life into a temple of love. The “Temple” is not a distant marble building; it is the way I treat my body when I am tired, the way I speak to my reflection, the way I write to you about love, goddess, and desire. It is the poetry I share on Facebook and Threads, the free ebooks I give away, the romantasy tales and goddess activations that invite you back into your own softness and power. Lovestar Temple is my promise to keep choosing this path publicly, even when my voice shakes.
Starting this business terrifies me because it is not a mask; it is my real heart. There is no safe distance between “brand” and “being.” So I made a quiet oath for 2026: to stop using fear as proof I should wait, and start using fear as proof that I am entering holy ground. Every time the fear voice says, “Who do you think you are?” I answer, “I am the woman who was lonely for ritual and built herself a temple.” And I offer that temple to you, not as something you must believe in, but as a mirror. Your body is a temple, too. Your longing is an altar. Your daily life can become a ritual of love. Lovestar Temple is simply one way I am learning to live that truth out loud, so you never have to walk back to your own temple alone.
Beloved, for this January 3 Full Moon in Cancer, Selene is moving close, asking you to let your heart be cradled instead of constantly holding everything together for everyone else.
Tonight’s Full Moon in Cancer is a Selene moon: soft, tender, mothering, and fiercely protective of your emotional body. This is the kind of moon that brings everything up to the surface, not to overwhelm you, but to finally be soothed.
Here is your free Full Moon Goddess Message from Selene:
“Beloved, put the weight down for a moment. You are not failing because you are tired; you are tired because you have carried too much alone. Under this Cancer full moon, you are allowed to rest in my light like a child in safe arms. Breathe. The to‑do lists, the roles, the expectations can wait while your heart remembers what softness feels like.
You do not have to earn my presence. You do not have to be ‘caught up’ to be worthy of comfort. Right now, your only task is this: exhale what you have been holding in your chest for weeks and let the tears or the silence come. I am here for all of it.”
If this message lands for you, place a hand on your heart, take three slow breaths, and whisper: “Selene, please hold me while I rest.” That alone can be your ritual tonight.
Come closer, moon‑child. Your nervous system has been operating in survival mode for so long that calm feels suspicious. You keep telling yourself, ‘Once things slow down, I’ll rest,’ but the truth is, you’ve been building a life that never slows down. Your inner tides are begging you to stop treating rest like a reward and start treating it like oxygen.
Under this Cancer full moon, I am not asking you to fix your entire life. I am asking you to tell yourself the truth: where are you abandoning your own needs in order to keep the peace? Where do you tuck your emotions away so no one else is ‘inconvenienced’ by your humanity?
Your body remembers every time you pushed past your limits. The headaches, the tight shoulders, the late‑night scrolling, the numbness, these are not random. They are love letters from your cells, saying: ‘We cannot live like this forever.’
Tonight, I invite you into a different kind of devotion.
Place one hand on your heart and one on your belly. Feel where your breath stops. Let it deepen slowly, without force. Then ask:
Where do I need mothering in my own life? What kind of care do I always give others but never allow myself?
Do not rush to fix the answers. Simply let them be seen in my light.

If the moon already pulls on your emotions, but your life is too full to “do ritual properly,” this is for you.
I am a working mother of five who grew up in the church. I miss the feeling of ritual, the way it gave my nervous system rhythm and my soul a place to land. But in my real life, I don’t have two hours to set up an elaborate altar for every full moon. I have bedtime, dishes, work, and the constant hum of responsibility.
So, for 2026, I created something I needed: a Full Moon Goddess Calendar that does the planning for me.
Every full moon of the year is mapped out with:
The date and sign of the moon.
A specific goddess who holds the energy of that moon.
A tiered ritual: a short “Hearth” version, a deeper “Temple” version.
An affirmation and journal prompt to focus the work.
Instead of staring at the sky feeling guilty that “I should be doing something spiritual,” I can open my calendar, light a candle, and follow the words. I don’t want to waste time thinking up a ritual. I just enter one.
For example, the Scorpio full moon with Persephone asks you to tell the truth about a transformation you are resisting and why.
The Blue Moon with Nike asks you to reframe your “defeats” as training and claim your victory under a rare, double full moon. The work is already written. You just show up.
If you’ve ever felt the moon stirring something in you but didn’t know what to do with it, this is the point of the calendar: to give your feelings a container, your longing a structure, and your spiritual life a rhythm that fits your actual life.
If this speaks to you, you can get the 2026 Full Moon Goddess Calendar as a digital ebook for $7. It contains all thirteen full moon rituals, eclipse and blue moon specials, journal prompts, affirmations, and goddess messages.
There is also a free calendar with the important stuff so you can still do your full moon rituals in 2026. Download for free on Payhip, find the download through my shop also through this link.
For those who don’t want to do this alone, I also host a Moon Goddess Temple on Patreon. Every full moon, we gather for live ritual, deeper guidance, and ongoing messages so you feel supported, not isolated, in your practice.
And if all you want for now is a small monthly touch, I offer Full Moon Goddess Messages on Ko‑fi: short, potent transmissions from the goddess of that moon that you can use as your entire ritual if that’s what you have capacity for. No ritual needed.
You get to choose the level of depth your season allows. The important part is this: your soul doesn’t have to wait for a “better year.” You can start with the next full moon.
I created a full moon calendar to help. Download the free calendar and if goddess ritual for the full moon is your style, consider the premium calendar, a $7 ebook download from Payhip.
Do not worry, though, I plan on blogging about all the full moons in 2026 and the only way I can do that in my busy life is to prepare this ahead of time.
It is the holiday season of 2025 and I gift you:
