| The Sun ~ Shadowscapes Tarot |
| ©Stephanie Pui-Mun Law |
The First Quarter Moon, growing ever larger in the night sky, presents the first challenge to emerging New Moon seeds. The Moon moves into dramatic Leo, flowing energy with revolutionary Uranus. Squaring the Sun, the Moon pushes for change NOW, while the Taurus Sun holds out for calm, steady, peaceful unfolding.
The Sun in earthy, sensuous Taurus is sitting with Ceres the Grain Mother, content to revel in the glories of nature. Yet even these two, who can be immovable in Taurus, feel some stirring to action. They're part of the ongoing Grand Trine in Earth with Pluto and Mars who, each in their own style, are moving and shaking our world.
Pluto is always a force to be reckoned with, and in Capricorn is inexorable in transforming our foundations. Mars is now in Virgo, working steadily in a organized, analytical way. taking direction from more powerful Pluto.
The third leg of the trine (an equal-sided triangle with easy, flowing energy) has been changing as the faster-moving planets move through Taurus. The Sun brings energy and illumination, and Ceres enhances the Taurean calm and love of nature.
All of this comes together to support action and movement––not in the lightning-quick style of Fire, but with the slow longevity of Earth.
The Leo Moon has no intention of being ignored, though. When she reaches the First Quarter square, she'll be at the point of a yod with Pluto and Chiron, bringing bright attention to the importance of Leo's courage, passion and creative playfulness in helping us reach our dreams. Pluto's deep transformation and Chiron's intense healing become the stuff of art when annealed in Leo's fire.
As we turn the corner toward the intensity of the Full Moon in Scorpio, the Leo Moon brings us right into the heart, shining a spotlight on what we care about most and inviting us to bring that forward. It's time to shine.
