Summary
Leo Moon periods always have something going for them insofar as the Moon has a modicum of essential dignity through the like-engirding principle, and the fixed fire nature can create a lot of activity, excitement, and spontaneity.
But just like last month, there’s a lot of challenges coming in the way here. We have to deal with an aversion to the Moon’s ruler, as well as oppositions from Mercury, Jupiter, and Saturn and the square from Mars, which will all conspire to make this period fairly tricky. Difficulties in the use of words, hard lessons from authority figures, intense self-doubt, and tendencies towards anger and frustration are all bound to arise. It will be challenging to overcome these aspects and make this period super light and productive.
However, the inherent strength of the Moon in Leo can help to provide you with the impetus and encouragement you need to stay strong and committed to your own intentions, even if you don’t get as far with them as you would have liked. Life is about the process and the journey, so don’t’ get too wrapped up in trying to push yourself through all resistance to see your will carried out. Instead, take the obstacles as opportunities to learn, and use them to your advantage as lessons and teachings.

Astrological Signatures
Entry: Wednesday the 24th at 7:22am EST / 12:22pm UTC
Departure: Friday the 26th at 12:07pm EST / 5:07pm UTC
Moon in Leo: Light-sharing of the Moon with the Sun - strong essential dignity. Leo functions as the Moon’s diurnal, solar domicile, since her and the Sun are two halves of the same coin. The Leo Moon is an excellent period for being productive and getting a lot done. After going inward during the Moon’s travels through Cancer, you can take the insights and wisdom received there and apply them towards something practical. The Moon in Leo has a focused drive to accomplish quite a lot, since the fiery passion to act combines with the steadiness and reliability of a fixed sign.
Triplicity and Quadruplicity: Fixed fire. Fixedness indicates prolonged activities and an overall steadiness in people’s moods. The Moon in fixed signs makes activities more stable and their duration longer. The fire element indicates the realm of spirit and ideals, and the Moon in a fire sign often expresses more enthusiasm, spontaneity, and creative, heart-centered expressionism.
Moon’s ruler: Aversion to the Sun in Pisces. Insofar as the Sun is the Moon’s ruler here, the aversion indicates challenges for manifesting long-term results and making anything come of this period. Stay in the present moment instead.
Relationship to the Sun: See above. This is a neutral placement. Your outer circumstances and the events that surround you will not pull down and fight against your will, but they will not lift you up and support you either.
Aspects
Fixed Opposition to Mercury in Aquarius. Great tension between your emotions and your thoughts. Putting your foot in your mouth, misspeaking, and difficulties expressing oneself are common issues now.
Inferior Fixed Square to Mars in Taurus: Roadblocks, obstacles, arguments, fights, tension, discord, and conflict. Greater potential for burnout and overextending yourself. You may find yourself getting angrier more easily.
Fixed Opposition to Jupiter in Aquarius. Challenges related to personal growth and awareness. Financial strains and difficulties making money, but potential for growth if you work hard. Mentors coming in with harder lessons.
Fixed Opposition to Saturn in Aquarius. Stronger potential for depression, doubt, and negative self-talk. Could easily become overpowered by negative feelings. A fog may come over you at times leaving you feeling depressed and anxious.
