The Moon continues her journey through Taurus - the sign of her exaltation. She trines (brakes off) a retrograde Jupiter at 11:51AM EDT, squares (tension/frustration) the Leo Sun at 12:44PM EDT, sextiles (opportunity) Neptune at 2:31PM EDT and finally trines (brakes off) a retrograde Pluto at 8:03PM EDT.
Lots going on now.
Her/our challenge that 3rd/Last Quarter Moon - the waning square between the Leo Sun and the Moon in Taurus. Fixed energies; heels dug in. As we approach next week's New Moon in Leo here is some compulsory tension/frustration that questions our need to stay safe and secure vs. our need to put ourselves out there and take a risk. Leo/Taurus. Risk vs security. Fiery initiative vs earthy stability and preservation.
With the Moon's desire to be all comfy in Taurus, the pull toward what's safe/same will be strong, but with the Sun in Leo, our heart will want what it wants, too. What makes us happy? What makes us proud? The tension is a necessary part of our journey to next week's New Moon with its confident trine to Mars.
Vesta joins the Sun and Mercury in proud Leo. A spark is LIT with a focus on and devotion to a Leo theme - creative projects, children, romance or recreation (plus your natal Leo house theme and the house of your natal Sun - the spaces you are intended to SHINE in this lifetime).
Where Vesta goes we find what will keep us up all night.
Hopefully this transit will help those of us (is this all of us?) whose fire has been doused by collective events/energies.
Vesta will be in Leo until October 2nd.
Keep in mind with our South Node in Sagittarius (what we are needing to release) the capacity to be at peace with a kind of "empty" is vital and a great gift if and when we can manage it - and we will probably roll in and out of any feelings of "peace" now. I can personally move between peace and panic a dozen times a day. :)
It is challenging, especially for people with alot of fixed energy, to eliminate the old, without the security of the new,
to be, in a very real way, "fire-less", so we don't inadvertently synthesize some kind of "empty" enthusiasm that will work at cross-purposes with ourselves later. A kind of survival reflex really - while the new germinates.
We are in the midst of multiple Pluto transits and they won't be cheated/shortened or bargained away .... BUT we are not intended to be without our gifts and passions for long and this year's Leo season is a time when some fires can be LIT .... Vesta will help us prolong the season.
