Moon in Leo

Tuesday afternoon through Thursday afternoon

Leo Moon! Passion, playfulness, creative drive, drama ... the Moon in Leo wants everyone to know how she feels, which is great when she feels good, and sometimes not so great. The challenge for this Moon is, can she express true feelings, depth of emotion, creating the insight and catharsis of wonderful theater? Or will we get a lot of melodramatic thrashing around?

Whether we see (and experience) the highs or the lows of feeling, this Moon transit through Leo will be intense. Just after entering the sign of the fiery lion, the Moon flows energy in trine with Uranus in Aries, taking the world by storm. Later on Tuesday, Mercury reaches Jupiter, mind and communication expanding in Aries.

If you have something to say, today's energies will give great heart and passion to your words, but be careful (tough to do with a Leo Moon and all that Aries) not to go overboard. Today might be a day for writing letters saying exactly how you feel––and not sending them.

Wednesday, the Leo Moon continues adding fuel to Aries' fire as she trines Jupiter and Mercury. Later, the Moon sextiles Saturn in Libra, a creative dynamo, and later still, opposes Venus in Aquarius. This challenging mix of energies makes Wednesday an inspired day, when the muse might not be content with whispering. Again, watch your urge to speak out freely. Instead, write, draw, sculpt, sing, dance, love, all with an open heart.

Thursday, the Moon reaches the end of Leo where she opposes Neptune, poised at the end of Aquarius. The Moon closes her Leo transit with another creative connection with the planet of dreams and visions, in the sign of intuition and insight. After the heady emotions of Leo, the Moon moves into careful, organized Virgo, at 4:53pm EDT Thursday.
