Leo

Your instinct right now is to push forward hard, and that's very Leo, but the First Quarter Moon sitting in Capricorn is asking something more interesting of you than simple forward motion. It's asking you to be strategic. There's a difference, and you probably feel it in your bones even if you haven't named it yet.

The Sun in Aquarius opposing Chiron in Aries puts a specific kind of tenderness on the table today. Something about how you're seen, or how you fear you're seen, is closer to the surface than usual. Don't make that into a whole production. Notice it, let it inform you, and keep moving. The sextile between your Sun and Jupiter in Taurus is genuinely generous energy, and it's working in your favor whether you're paying attention or not. Opportunities have a way of feeling like coincidences when Jupiter is involved.

Venus is retrograde in Scorpio and squaring Pluto, which, look, that's not the most comfortable setup for the heart. Old desires resurface. Something you thought you'd resolved turns out to have one more layer. The thing is, that's useful information. You don't have to act on it, but you can use it.

Mars trine Saturn right now is quiet and steady and honestly kind of underrated. It's the kind of aspect that helps you do the actual work, not the showy work, the real kind. If there's something you've been putting off because it felt too unglamorous or too slow, today it actually gets traction.

The Moon conjunct Pluto in Capricorn before she moves on is asking you to be honest about what you actually want underneath what you say you want. Those two things aren't always the same. Getting them aligned is where your real power lives right now.
