Full Moon Astrology
The full moon at 00° Virgo 42? is conjunct the mighty fixed star Regulus in the Heart of the Lion, Leo Constellation. So this is a strong, sexy and daring full moon. It is makes the bountiful trine aspect (120°) to a Mars Uranus conjunction. This exciting and revolutionary alignment compliments the bold nature of Regulus.
Regulus Full Moon
Fixed star Regulus at 00° Virgo 05? gives courage, independence, ambition, success, power and fame. It is the star of royalty, generals, presidents, sex symbols, athletes and astrologers. Regulus makes people competitive, aggressive, generous and open-minded.
However, the success, brash self-confidence and frankness of Regulus breeds envy, hatred and powerful enemies. Not so long ago, to become the king you had to kill the king. Donald Trump has Ascendant and Mars conjunct Regulus. He will be on the front foot and especially combative during this eventful two-week moon phase.
According to Robson , Moon conjunct Regulus gives occult interests, powerful friends, gain by speculation and public prominence, with great power, honor and wealth. But such benefits seldom last and there is danger from enemies and false friends, violence, trouble and sickness. Regulus with the Moon also makes women high-spirited and independent.
The Leo Constellation is associated with royal events, especially the ascension or death of kings and queens, the election or death of heads of state, assassinations, uprisings, massacres, currency, the stock exchange, the Vatican and European Union.
The precession of the equinoxes explains why this full moon is in the Sign of Virgo but the Constellation of Leo. The planets and fixed stars influence your life, not 12 imaginary divisions on a piece of paper.
Full Moon Planets
The full moon astrology chart shows Mars conjunct Uranus connected to the full moon by the harmonious trine aspect. There is another significant planetary alignment as well. Mercury conjunct Neptune is sextile Venus conjunct Saturn. But the most important influence on the full moon is the Mars Uranus conjunction.
Mars conjunct Uranus gives a strong urge to break free of limiting conditions. On its own, this is an erratic, unpredictable and volatile conjunction. However, the harmonious aspects to the Sun and Moon lower the risk of reckless behavior and upsetting events. This means you can let your hair down and take a few risks. Let this full moon spice up your life with change, excitement and adventure.
You can trust your instinct and follow your passionate desires. You can fully express your kinky side under this sexually provocative influence. Open mindedness and experimentation could be sexually liberating, reinvigorate an exiting relationship, or bring a passionate new romance. A lowering of inhibition will bring greater personal freedom and unexpected opportunities.
This is a good full moon to get new projects off the ground with a burst of daring energy. Although your fighting spirit and adrenaline will eventually fade, you can get new projects to a state where that initiative is no longer required.
Mercury conjunct Neptune on its own can bring confusion, fear, deception and scandal. But the sextile to Venus Saturn brings sensitivity, romance, sensuality, karmic attraction and creative imagination.
Venus conjunct Saturn on its own can bring sadness, loneliness and lack of affection. But the sextile to Mercury Neptune brings companionship, true love, reassurance, loyalty and commitment.
Together, the alignment of these four planets brings compassion, healing, selflessness, clairvoyance and spirituality. This is a good full moon for dreaming, psychic awareness and learning occult subjects like astrology and Tarot.
Summary
Both Regulus and the Mars Uranus conjunction have the potential to bring irritation, rebellion and violence. But their high-spirited, lusty and outgoing natures complement each other to bring positive change, adventure and excitement.
In a similar way, the negative influences of Mercury conjunct Neptune and Venus conjunction Saturn are alleviated by the sextile aspects that link them.
This means the incredible amount of energy created by Regulus, the full moon and the three planetary conjunctions, combine in a complementary way that is more harmonious, safe and user-friendly than each on its own.
So this full moon brings exciting opportunities that will make you feel more alive and free. Many separate things which have confused, scared or depressed you will seem to come together and make sense. It should restore your faith that God, or the Universe, does have a plan for you.

Last year, according to earthsky.org, in 2018, the month of February had no full moon at all. But this year’s February presents a much different story, as today shows off the biggest full moon supermoon of 2019. By the way, that bright star accompanying the February supermoon is none other than Regulus, the brightest star in the constellation Leo the Lion.
The moon will appear plenty full to the eye on the nights of February 18 and 19. That bright star accompanying the February full moon is Regulus, the brightest in the constellation Virgo the Maiden.
From around the world, the moon will look plenty full to the eye tonight (February 18-19) and tomorrow night (February 19-20) as it parades across the nighttime sky. At the vicinity of full noon, the moon stays out throughout the night, rising in the east around sunset and setting in the west around sunrise. Although the moon appears full for a few to several days in succession, the moon is only truly full for a fleeting instant – when the moon lies 180 degrees opposite the sun, from the vantage point of Earth.
This full moon moment arrives on February 19, 2019, at 15:53 Universal Time. At North American and US time zones, that means the moon turns full at 11:53 a.m. AST, 10:53 a.m. EST, 9:53 a.m. CST, 8:53 a.m. MST, 7:53 a.m. PST, 6:53 a.m. AKST and 5:53 a.m. HST.

This February full moon ushers in the second in a series of 3 full moon supermoons occurring on January 21, February 19 and March 21, 2019. All of these full moons are less than 362,000 km (225,000 miles) distant as measured from the centers of the Earth and moon. (In contrast, the year’s farthest full moon on September 14, 2019, will reside at a distance of 406,248 km or 252,431 miles.) The full moons of January, February and March 2019 are regarded as supermoons because of their relative nearness to Earth.
2019 Jan 21 full moon: 357,715 km (222,274 miles)
2019 Feb 19 full moon: 356,846 km (221,734 miles)
2019 Mar 21 full moon: 360,772 km (224,173 miles)
The full moon on February 19, 2019, counts as the most “super” of these full supermoons because it’s the full moon that most closely aligns with perigee – the moon’s closest point to Earth in its monthly orbit:
Perigee: 2019 Feb 19 at 9:06 UTC (356,761 km or 221,681 miles)
Full Moon: 2019 Feb 19 at 15:53 UTC (356,846 km or 221,734 miles)
The February full moon presents the closest of this year’s 12 full moons, plus the February lunar perigee features the closest of this year’s 13 perigees.
Amazingly enough, 14 returns to full moon almost exactly equal 15 returns to perigee, a period of about 413 days (approximately 1 year 1 month and 18 days).
So next year, in 2020, the year’s closest full moon and closest lunar perigee will coincide some 413 days later, in April 2020. We elaborate below.
Perigee: 2020 Apr 7 at 18:08 UTC (356,907 km or 221,772 miles)
Full Moon: 2019 Apr 8 at 2:35 UTC (357,035 km or 221,851 miles)
Of course, it’ll be three-peat supermoon performance in the year 2020, as well. The preceding full moon of March 9, 2020, and the following full moon on May 7, 2020, will make up the supermoon “season” of 2020.
2020 Mar 9 full moon: 357,404 km (222,081 miles)
2020 Apr 8 full moon: 357,035 km (221,851 miles)
2020 May 7 full moon: 361,184 km (224,429 miles)
Then we’ll have another three-peat production in the following year, 2021:
2021 Apr 27 full moon: 357,615 km (222,212 miles)
2021 May 26 full moon: 357,462 km (222,117 miles)
2021 Jun 24 full moon: 361,558 km (224,662 miles)
But this year, in 2019, the biggest full moon of 2019 happens on February 19, 2019, at a distance of 356,846 km (221,734 miles). Each full moon for the next 7 months will occur farther away than the one in the previous month. Seven full moons later, on September 14, 2019, this full moon will be the one to most closely align with lunar apogee – the moon’s closest point to Earth in its orbit. Thereby, September 2019 will showcase the most distant full moon and the most distant apogee of 2019.
Apogee: 2019 Sept 13 at 13:32 UTC (406,377 km or 252,511 miles)
Full Moon: 2019 Sept 14 at 4:33 UTC (406,248 km or 252,431 miles)
The year’s closest full moon on February 19, 2019, swings a whopping 49,402 km (30,697 miles) closer to Earth than does the year’s farthest full moon (or micro-moon) on September 14, 2019. Hence, the diameter of the February full moon is about 14 percent greater than that of the September full moon. But what;s more, the disk size and brightness of this February full moon are about 30 percent greater. To make the difference more concrete, perhaps, the size difference between the year’s largest and smallest full moons is comparable to that of a U.S. quarter versus a U.S. nickel. See the above illustration.
Enjoy the grand and glorious full moon supermoon of February 2019 as this brilliant celestial floodlight beams from dusk till dawn!
