On December 8th, in the early hours (5:07am GMT), the Moon will illuminate the skies as it reaches peak fullness at 16° Gemini.

Caught in a tense t-square and conjunct retrograde Mars, emotions may run high, challenging you to release, to purge, to shed the excess of what has arisen over the past six months since the New Moon in Gemini occurred, back on May 30th.

If you’re feeling the pinch, it might just be growing pains, as the New Moon in Sagittarius, occurring at 1° on November 23rd (10:57 GMT), is set to activate a seven months long shift, bringing you into alignment with your destined path…And thus making it evident just how far you may have strayed from it.

The depths of what unfolds during this time may feel challenging, confrontational, or even destabilising, as Chiron in Aries will be making a conjunction, pushing and prodding at some of your deepest, most personal emotional wounds.

Leo, at its core, is essentially about how we learn to individuate and have the courage to be our unique and authentic selves. And as New Moon’s act as a turning of the wheel, from one chapter to another, here in Leo, it’s asking us to ascertain where in our lives we might be struggling to do just that, to FULLY show up as our TRUE SELVES!
