The Moon entered Leo this morning, striding onstage for the final dress rehearsal before tomorrow's Full Moon performance. Her opening contacts with Neptune and Uranus are strong and flowing, so expect abundant intuitive messages today. Awkward aspects with Jupiter, Chiron and Pluto add some edge to this last rehearsal. Things might be a bit rocky, but that only guarantees a stellar performance.

Tomorrow, the Moon opens the day by flowing fiery energy into the North Node, our path in this life. The Sun and Mercury join forces, sharpening our mental acuity to a fine point. Brilliant ideas form easily, innovation is in the air, but remember the trickster is about too––don't get too wedded to any one model.

Another reminder to step carefully arrives as Saturn stations retrograde in Libra. For the next months, we need to walk our talk, be impeccable with our words, and follow through.

These are always good ideas, but with Saturn retrograde, chickens might come home to roost rather quickly for those who pursue manipulative and shady paths. Venus awkwardly inconjunct Saturn is just one more reminder to stay true to our brightest visions.

Then the Full Moon! This Moon in Leo, sign of the heart, of the light we're meant to shine forth, of our courage and joy, is surrounded by aspects that point to creative inspiration combined with the power to manifest.

This Full Moon illuminates our heartfire, letting us know whether it's burning high and bright, or needs some passionate, playful fuel.

Each opposition surrounding this Moon calls us to balance personal creative vision with the good of our communities. With the Full Moon in Leo, it's vital we are part of that balance. At this Moon, we're not called to self-sacrifice, but to bringing our juiciest, most authentic self on stage.

As if to emphasize this, Venus enters Aries early Wednesday. Our relationships, finances, and creative lives surge forward. We're ready to set the world on fire. An awkward contact between Venus and Neptune reminds us not to move too quickly, while urging us on to action in alignment with our dreams.

A flowing sextile with Saturn closes this Moon transit through Leo, giving power to our ability to manifest. Wednesday afternoon, the Moon enters careful, detail-oriented Virgo. While she shines forth in Leo, we listen to our muses, vow to take action on our heart's desires, and make it so.
