Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
Cheerful Leo Moon sets the mood today as it picks up energy from Venus and Jupiter. If you’re celebrating today, careful not to overdo it. Then again, ’tis the season. Leo Moons love to be loved. It’s a Moon for passion, romance, joy, and creativity.
We head into a quiet week, although one that feels the emotional wave of the December 22 Cancer Full Moon. It’s a good time to double down on self care and connection. Thankfully the Moon’s arrival in Leo gives us a little bit of pep after heaviness.
Mercury joins the party in Sagittarius, meeting up with the Sun and Jupiter. It’s a day for big ideas, big gestures, and that wing-it mentality that Sagittarius is known for. Plus, the Moon is in Leo, providing enthusiasm and inspiration.
Between the Leo Moon and Mercury in Sagittarius, we’re get some much needed fire element to an otherwise emotional lineup of planets. We’re feeling the desire to explore, have fun, create. But the Sun’s still in Scorpio. We’re in a deep state of rebirth.
A Leo Moon teams up with the Libra Sun, inviting us to play, socialize, and create. It’s a good day to reach out to your community or network. Don’t forget, Venus turns retrograde tomorrow. There’s a lot of subtext to our relationships right now.
The Moon trades Cancer for Leo, feeling and emotional intensity for creativity and play. With the Sun in Libra, we’ll want to get out and socialize over the next couple days, connecting with friends and lovers alike. But our interactions may be emotionally pointed.
We start off the week with a Leo Moon, a sign that inspires us to be ourselves and express our talents as well as our creativity. With the North Node also in Leo, it’s an imperative. We need to be in the truth of who we are.
The sky’s heating up in advance of tomorrow’s Virgo Full Moon. Energies and emotions are running high. Each month the full moon shines a spotlight on a theme or issue. Tomorrow we have to make a decision about our health, diet, and how we organize our lives.
We’re in the gate for tomorrow’s lunar eclipse, one that will fall in Leo. Eclipses are electric. They can quickly usher things in as well as out of our lives. With the Leo Moon and Aquarius Sun, there’s a tension between who we are and our place in the world.
The Leo Moon touches on the nodes of fate, reminding us that we’re less than a month away from the eclipses. Pay attention to what you are feeling, hearing, and experiencing. This is a preview. It also threads back to the eclipses from August 2017.
The Leo Moon lifts us out of an emotional full moon, giving us more confidence and motivation. But it’s still Capricorn Season and we’re being asked to take Leo’s talents and creativity and put them to practical use. Time to make good on your New Year’s resolutions.
The Moon is taking us through the sign of Leo today, meeting up with the North Node and reminding us of the power of ourselves, the power of our talents, and the power to create. To be in the essence of Leo is to be in the joy of creation.
