The Moon in Leo Is Butting Heads With the Stars Today

Early this morning, the moon in Leo forms a favorable aspect with Venus in Gemini, but it’s a bit short-lived, and for the majority of the day Leo is in a bit of a conflict with Taurus and Aquarius, causing us to feel irritable and emotional. Later tonight, though, another favorable sextile lets us end the day on a sweet note.

The Moon Is Sextile Venus at 6:41 AM

This morning, the moon in Leo forms a sextile with Venus in Gemini. When the moon is sextile Venus, it forms a tender, loving aspect. All types of relationships can flourish under this influence, but it’s especially auspicious for romantic pairings. You might even start a new relationship.

It brings about increased beauty, charm, social popularity, and successful dating experiences. It’s an ideal time to be with your partners and friends if you’re able to do so right now.

When Virgo (earth) and Scorpio (water) mingle, they can kindle some playful, spontaneous energy. You might find yourself in the mood to seek out new experiences and fun activities. Lean into it.

The Moon Is Square Uranus at 7:06 AM

A short time later, the moon in Leo squares off with Uranus in grounded Taurus. This might have you feeling a bit jumpy and impulsive, leading to some not-too-stellar sleep. You’ll probably have some difficulty concentrating, and you’ll need to find an outlet for all that energy – or it will come bursting out of you in inconvenient ways. This is not the time for mundane or routine tasks. It’s time to get out and try something new.

You’ll also have a hard time relaxing, and you may have an overwhelming feeling that something BIG is about to happen. If you don’t get the newness or excitement you crave today, you may go looking for it. Just try to keep yourself out of trouble if at all possible.

You could be on the receiving end of an emotional outburst from someone else today. And while your instinct will be to run and avoid, it will be important to stay and patiently work through what’s attempting to be said. Avoid lashing out in return. Sensitivity is key here, and while it might lead to an uncomfortable conversation, the air needs to be cleared.

The Moon Is Opposite Saturn at 10:25 AM

Later this morning, the moon in Leo moves opposite Saturn in Aquarius. You might be feeling a bit sad, bored, or lonely. Your mood is infectious to those around you right now and could lead to some issues in your relationships if you take things out on them by laying guilt trips or moping around.

This is especially true with the female relationships in your life. You might need to keep to yourself and ride out this funk for the evening.

The Moon Is Sextile Mercury at 10:56 PM

Tonight, the moon in fiery Leo forms a sextile aspect with Mercury at home in playful Gemini. This is a favorable transit, and these signs complement each other well. Mercury rules communication, and the moon rules emotions, so expect some heady, revealing conversations with your nearest and dearest.

You’re in tune with your own emotions as well as those of the people around you right now, so those conversations will flow freely and easily.

Communication is the theme of the day. It’s very likely that you’ll receive more attention from friends and family than usual. Remember to check in on them as well. Your support and advice might be sorely needed. You could be a shoulder to cry on for a friend in need.

Your memory is razor-sharp, which could bring about some nostalgia or wistfulness. You might be reminded of an old friend, or maybe even hear from one. That clear head also means that routine mental work will feel easier than usual right now.
