Moon in Leo, into Virgo

Yesterday's Moon in Leo was alone on center stage, enjoying the spotlight. Today she's joined the high profile late-degree party, and is finishing her walk down the red carpet with Mars in Leo now. The last few hours may have been dramatic!

By midafternoon (beginning around 3:45 pm EDT), the Moon will aspect the opposition between Saturn in Virgo and Jupiter-Uranus in Pisces, lending her influence to Saturn's practicality and wanting Jupiter-Uranus to turn their Pisces visions into something passionate and real. At 5:45 pm EDT, the Moon opposes Neptune in late Aquarius and Chiron in early Pisces with the same message: Visions are lovely things, but we need to express them ... let's get passionate and creative about what we want!

At 7:45 pm EDT, the Leo Moon squares the Sun in placid Taurus to join the dance ... and succeeds, as the Sun enters bright, social Gemini! Having moved the Sun, the Moon takes a void of course rest until 9:00 pm EDT, when she settles into practical, analytical Virgo, where those wonderful, passionate, creative ideas can be evaluated and put into service ... the next step in the cycle of becoming.

The discerning eye of the Virgo Moon continues to oppose Neptune and Chiron, wanting to ground Pisces' visions in something useful. Then at 10:00 pm EDT, the Virgo Moon flows energy with Venus, now in nurturing Cancer ... a combination that spells practical care, grounded nurturing, and service at home. If you feel the urge tonight to clean closets and bake bread, this could be why!
