This is a time to take center stage in our yown life, pursuing your passions and expressing your unique talents without hesitation. The energy of Leo invites you to be bold and fully expressed, stepping out of your comfort zone and into the spotlight.

The Moon is in Aquarius today, adding a touch of innovation and community-oriented thinking. Aquarius asks you to think outside the box and connect with others on a deeper level. The combination of Leo Sun and Aquarius Moon provides a balance between individual expression and collective awareness. It’s a great time to start new projects that benefit both ourselves and the wider community.

BRINGING SOMETHING HIDDEN INTO VIEW
Today, the Sun in Leo opposes Pluto, creating a powerful dynamic that may bring something hidden into view. This opposition highlights previously hidden power dynamics that must be revealed to create necessary change. Deep fears and desires must be confronted to allow a process of transformation. By facing hidden darkness, you can emerge stronger and more aligned with your true self and purpose.
Look at the power dynamics in your relationships and environments. Are there areas where you feel disempowered or exert too much control? By addressing these issues, find a healthier balance and create more harmonious interactions. Allow profound change within yourself and your connections with others.
With the Moon entering Pisces at 9:23 am EDT, intuition and emotions are heightened. Pisces brings a gentle, dreamy emotional state that encourages connection with your inner world. This is a time to listen to intuition, explore dreams, and find healing through compassion and understanding. The combination of the Sun-Pluto opposition and the Moon in Pisces makes today a powerful day for inner work and emotional healing.
Reflective questions for today: 1. What hidden aspects of myself am I ready to confront and transform? 2. How can I harness my intuition to navigate challenges? 3. What power dynamics in my life need reevaluation and adjustment?

GENTLE REFLECTION
With the Moon continuing its journey through Pisces, today offers a gentle, reflective tone. Pisces invites you to connect deeply with your emotions, dreams, and inner wisdom. This is a day to develop and reach for compassion, healing, and creativity. Allow yourself the space to meditate, journal, or rest in the intangible flow of a dream state. Honor your emotional landscape.
The energy of Pisces is ideal for creative and spiritual pursuits. Whether through art, music, writing, or other forms of expression, today is a day to let your imagination run free. This can be incredibly therapeutic and can help us process emotions that we might not be fully aware of. It’s also a good time for spiritual practices such as meditation, prayer, or spending time in nature, helping us reconnect with our inner selves.
On a practical level, today may not be the best day for making major decisions or tackling complex problems. Instead, focus on activities that nourish your soul and bring a sense of peace and fulfillment. By honoring the gentle, reflective energy of Pisces, we can find clarity and insight that will guide us in the days to come.

DYNAMIC SHIFTS
When the Moon leaves Pisces and enters the cardinal fire sign of Aries at 10:53 am EDT, it is a dynamic shift in our emotional environment. When Mercury does the same, entering Aries at 6:41 pm EDT, our thinking shifts from passive compassion to thoughts of dynamic action.
Mercury entering Aries suggests direct and action-oriented thinking and communication will be expressed in the coming weeks. A new thought may be articulated before it is fully considered. Our thoughts and words become sharper, and we are more inclined to speak our minds without hesitation. This can be a powerful time for asserting our ideas and making our voices heard. It’s important, however, to be mindful of how and what we communicate, ensuring that our assertiveness does not come across as aggression.
At 10:32 PM EDT, the Sun sextiles Mars, presenting an opportunity to significantly enhance your drive and enthusiasm toward your goals. This aspect will also impact tomorrow, boosting your physical activities, strategic planning, and any tasks requiring determination and focus. Embrace this assertive, proactive energy to make significant progress in your endeavors.
Reflective questions for today: 1. What bold actions can I take to move closer to my goals? 2. How can I communicate my ideas more effectively and assertively? 3. What new opportunities are presenting themselves, and how can I embrace them?

You could overcome significant obstacles today by starting new projects, making important decisions, or taking calculated risks. However, it is important to balance this proactive energy with patience and mindfulness to avoid impulsive actions that you may later regret.
Channel your inner warrior and focus on tasks that require courage and determination. Whether it’s a work project, a personal challenge, or a new venture, today’s energy supports decisive action and forward movement. Let momentum propel you forward.
