Moon in Leo: Light Up the Sky!

Saturday afternoon through Monday evening

Having rocked the New Moon Eclipse, the Moon strides into Leo this afternoon. Here in the U.S., it's the Fourth of July weekend, a celebration of independence, a time to light up the sky with the brilliance of who we are. Leo is ready!

fireworks!

The Moon's first aspect is a meeting with Mercury, now in Leo. These two combine depth of emotion with mental strength and the ability to speak truth. What truths do you hold to be self evident? What declarations of independence are you ready to make today?

The Moon and Mercury will be inconjunct Neptune and Chiron in Pisces at this time, calling for an active adjustment between the desire to make a stand, and the call to connect with what is deeper, wider, broader, bigger than any individual. Chiron's presence reminds us that healing can be found through understanding, creating a place where we can share our unique story in a way that benefits others.

Soon after, the Cancer Sun squares off with Saturn in Libra. Fine words butter no parsnips, these two say; so make good on your words and get working, while taking care of home and family.

Overnight, the Leo Moon trines Uranus in Aries, a revolutionary combination that could bring unexpectedly bright dreams full of creative power. Soon after, the Moon squares Jupiter in Taurus, two fixed signs looking for common ground. With the Moon moving into a sextile with Mars in Gemini on Sunday morning, prepare for big dreams.

Just after noon on Sunday, the Leo Moon flows into a sextile with Saturn in Libra, a very creative, expressive combination. This is the Moon's last classical aspect in Leo before reaching Virgo on Monday evening, so allow your muse free rein to inspire you without committing yourself to a particular form.

Sunday evening, Venus steps into nurturing Cancer, focusing our attention on relationships with home, family and tribe. Late Monday morning brings a flowing trine between Venus and Neptune, a reminder that ultimately, our tribe includes all beings.

Monday evening, Leonine Mercury trines Uranus in Aries, a time when messages of evolution, revolution, and personal freedom might be heard in many places. As the Moon steps into Virgo, our focus shifts to the practicals steps needed to achieve our goals. During this Leo transit, speak your truth and express what's in your heart with creativity and passion!
