The transition from Cancer Season to Leo Season marks a powerful moment. As the sun exits the sign of the crab, it makes a tense T-square to the North and South Nodes, creating a fated turning point in our consciousness. We must release what we think we new in order to open to new awareness. At nearly the same time as the sun makes his homecoming into Leo, Venus starts her 40-day retrograde. We can expect a review of our passion, sensuality, feminine energy, and relationships over the coming weeks.

Fated moments are possible this Saturday as the Aquarius Sun hits the exact midpoint between the nodes of fate. This T-Square to the North and South Nodes illuminates both our past and our future, allowing for a shift in perspective about what baggage we need to release in order to move forward on the path ahead. The First Quarter Moon in Taurus meets up with the North Node this morning, bringing emotional awareness to the shifts we’re experiencing.

On the final day of this moon cycle, emotions run high. The Capricorn moon meets up with Pluto and opposes Venus, bringing up intense feelings and making us needy for affection. But the Leo sun locks into a T-square with the North and South Nodes today too. Tuning into our heart can bring a shift in consciousness. The moon moves into Aquarius this afternoon, illuminating what makes us unique.

The day leading up to tomorrow morning’s full moon in Leo is full of uncertainty and tension. The Aquarius sun forms a harsh 90º angle to the North Node, forcing us to acknowledge the lessons we’re here to learn… whether we like it or not. Beware of letting your ego take over today… especially as the Leo moon opposes Saturn.
