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 Scorpio on May 12.
I missed the posts for the first 2 moon phases of Taurus Season, the Quarter Moon in Aquarius and the New Moon in Taurus so it is a pleasure to share next weekend’s energy report with you now <3 I am back and better than ever, creative energy restored.
When fixed constellations connect in the sky, passion and emotion rise forcefully. 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 ask Taurus for help. How/where is your emotional/creative security being compromised?
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. However, the moon is extremely well-situated with a conjunction to Mars in Leo and a trine to Mercury in Aries. This means physical energy will be running VERY high. Should be a productive moon phase which leaves us feeling confident and motivated. This quarter moon also coincides with the first day of Pluto Retrograde in Aquarius. Time for another round of subtle yet profound spiritual inventory!
self-love ~ realness ~ energy ~ passion ~ creativity ~ joy ~ sexuality ~ determination ~
