You're on Fire Today, Thanks to the Sun, Moon, and Mercury in Leo

We’re being inundated with fiery energy today between the sun, moon, Mercury, and Mars. This means we’ll have a greater chance of really getting some things done right now, but we could also err towards being impulsive and hot headed.

Mercury is Trine Mars at 1:28 AM

While we slept, Mercury in Leo formed a trine with Mars in Aries. This transit brings with it a burst of mental clarity and energy. You’ll be in the mood to tackle difficult problems that you haven’t known how to deal with until now.

You’ll also have an urge to speak your mind today. Not to pick a fight, necessarily, but to let your opinions on things be known. Aries and Leo are doubling down on this, so just make sure that you approach these declarations with tact, since so much firepower can get a bit impulsive and rash.

Take advantage of this confidence if you can. If you’ve been looking for an opportunity to get in front of managers or employers to prove your worth, now is a great time. Stage fright is all but nonexistent right now, so presentations should go over well.

The Moon is in Leo at 1:35 AM

A few minutes later, the moon moved into fiery Leo. A Leo moon makes us feel dominant, confident, and expressive. The world is our stage. After a subdued, homebody Cancer moon, we want to be out there living life to the fullest! How much we can physically be “out” is a bit up in the air right now, but the energy is undeniable. This transit will last a couple of days, and we can expect this flirty buzz to stay with us. If you can’t get out on the town, at least dress up for yourself today.

The Sun is Conjunct Mercury at 11:12 AM

Later on this morning, the sun in Leo forms a conjunction with Mercury, also in Leo. A conjunction brings the planets together and somewhat blends their energies. This brings about a chance to reset and clarify your intentions going forward, clearing away any cobwebs obstructing your mental clarity. It also brings with it an influx of mental energy and open, grounded communication.

The Moon is Square Uranus at 8:06 PM

This evening, the moon in Leo squares off with Uranus in grounded Taurus. This might have you feeling a bit jumpy and impulsive. You’ll have some difficulty concentrating, and you’ll need to find an outlet for all that energy – or have an emotional outburst. This is not the time for mundane or routine tasks. It’s time to get out and try something new.
