After midnight, the last quarter moon in Leo finds us reflecting on events that transpired since October 28’s Taurus lunar eclipse. Difficult as it is to find stable footing in the midst of eclipse season, the lunar eclipse encouraged us to exercise patience. Accessing safety and peace requires trust in the cosmos’ grand plan, much of which we only understand in hindsight. So, although other’s words or actions may have tested us, admitting what we could not control was the required medicine. Yet today, we’re not thinking about peace, we’re stirring up the drama! We want to be witnessed, we want praise, and we’re anxious about the slow, seemingly glacial process of transformation. Avoid escalating tensions just to make something happen. Our advice during this transit: be careful what you wish for—because you just might get it!
After sun-up, the moon trines Chiron in Aries, enhancing our confidence. We demonstrate courage while remaining humble, an attitude that ingratiates us to others. Those who’ve previously considered us to be cocky are pleased that we’ve come back down to earth. Instead of regarding past pain with shame or regret, we use it as a catalyst for connection and outreach within our communities. Old wounds have present-day utility. Our stories can serve as cautionary tales or inspire others to champion their personal insecurities.
