The energy is sociable, outgoing and romantic. An undeniable intensity gives us all an extra dose of courage, cranking up the drama and making us all crave attention. We should be able to resolve any issues without too much effort. Embrace creativity. Watch out for validation-seeking; don’t let other people’s approval dictate our worth. Say yes to fun and a little self-indulgence. This morning, we may be feeling extra pumped and inspired to initiate projects and things that we are passionate and excited about. Emotions and mind are in alignment, so it may be the perfect time to share emotions. Make sure that we remain somewhat cool and levelheaded with all this charged and fiery energy going around. Avoid being too hedonistic or pleasure-seeking today.

MORNING : Leo Moon trine Mercury : Communications flow smoothly.

MORNING : Leo Moon trine Venus : Creative expression and heart-centred connections.

AFTERNOON : Leo Moon sextile Jupiter : Expanding our sense of possibility, growth opportunities.

THIS WEEK

CLEAN UP • SLOW DOWN • REFLECT

A week of powerful and intense energies between the Full Moon Eclipse in Virgo and Mercury going retrograde in Aries. This week is all about cleaning up the mess—emotionally, physically, and mentally. The Sun conjunct Saturn forces us to face our responsibilities. The Lunar Eclipse in Virgo means it’s time to get our act together, to get real about what’s working and what’s not. Mercury retrograde in Aries can make communication a potential battlefield. It will test our patience, but if we slow down and reflect, we’ll come out the other side with a clearer sense of direction.
