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 there’s a lot of challenges coming in the way here. We have to deal with an opposition from the Sun, making for a fairly rocky situation all around - don’t expect any work or tasks to be accomplished easily. The fact that the Sun is also the ruler of the Moon’s sign is helpful for grounding significations and making long-lasting changes (the fixed sign helps as well), but don’t expect that change to come easily.
Additionally, the oppositions from Mercury, Jupiter, and Saturn and the square from Mars 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.
This is a time to test your mettle - remember that the Moon is inherently strong here in Leo through the like-engirding principle. She can overcome the obstacles and so can you. It will just take you tapping into your truest potential. Don’t be afraid to push yourself. Try and get yourself to exercise more. Wear red carnelian and ruby to help ignite your fire and stave off depression and thought loops. You can go far if you try.

Astrological Signatures
Entry: Wednesday the 27th at 9:54pm EST / Thursday the 28th at 2:54am UTC
Departure: Friday the 30th at 3:02am EST/ 8:02am 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: Opposition to the Sun in Aquarius. This is a challenging placement. There will be great struggles between your own intentions and the events and situations that your environment provides to you.
Relationship to the Sun: See above. The opposition indicates that the Moon has some support for grounding her significations into reality and actualizing long-term plans, but it will come with obstacles and roadblocks.
Aspects
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. Mercury stationing intensifies this aspect.
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.
