The sturdy Taurus sun squares the reactive moon in Leo. The moon will rise at noon, peak at dusk, and set at midnight in all time zones.
At the first quarter, we decide what to carry forward from the new moon into the rest of the lunar cycle. Quarter phases help clarify our plans. The moon is waxing, gathering momentum for the full moon. Get ready for a Full Moon in Sagittarius on May 23 – the first moon phase of Gemini Season 2024!
When fixed constellations connect in the sky, passion and forceful emotions rise to the surface. Leo comes with his claws out, ready to fight. The question: how to channel this volcanic energy? There are lots of options, including physical exercise and creativity. But bottling all of it inside and letting it scald the heart with billowing flames of resentment? No.
You’ll know whether or not you’re in the right-place-right-time if you’re feeling energized, extroverted, and at home within yourself. The moon in Leo makes us playful and childlike when we are well-situated. If you’re feeling sick or tired or angry, it’s time to get real and ask Taurus for help. How/where is your emotional/creative security being compromised? Which decisions must be made now in order to dance upon the coals of the upcoming full moon?
Take the power of Leo and direct it inward. Use it to boost your confidence. We have to believe in ourselves more than ever; we have to trust ourselves, our heart, our intuition. Be on your own side! Set boundaries! Communicate your needs!
If we are in a relationship or circumstance that doesn’t feed our highest Self, this moon phase will feel pretty uncomfortable. It might be uncomfortable anyway because the moon will square not just the sun but also Jupiter + Uranus in Taurus. Expect the unexpected. Travel not recommended. I do recommend managing expectations; disappointment is likely here.
self-love ~ realness ~ energy ~ passion ~ creativity ~ joy ~ sexuality ~ determination ~
