Natural Chart / Whole Houses 

Note: Last year, I didn't really cover the transits of the moon other than it's relationship to other planets and positions in the form of aspects. This year, I will be covering the Moon's journey through the zodiac at the rate of one sign per month in the natural order.

The Moon in Leo (General) 

The Moon makes a full circuit through the zodiac once every 28 1/2 days spending about 2.5 days in each sign. It's mantra is I FEEL and some keywords associated with it include, but are not limited to, childhood, cycles, emotions, feelings, habits, home, change, instincts, mother, passive, subconscious. nurturing, and imagination. The Moon rules Cancer, is Exalted in Taurus, in fall in Scorpio, and Detriment in Capricorn (see essential dignity).

When the moon is in Leo, people are more social. They want to be creative and have fun. They want to go out more, see people and do things. They feel more romantic and are in the mood for love. They are not very interested in day to day responsibilities, but rather chose play over work. There can be danger of overindulgence now which should be carefully monitored. They may also seek out more attention from others in order to receive emotional satisfaction and fulfillment.

Example 

Moon in Leo and the 10th House 

Here the urge to express your emotions occurs in the area of your career and the public and this manifests in a confident, affectionate, and dramatic manner.  You feel that you want to advance in life and so you look to make connections with all the right people. For this reason you may be a bit more of a show off so that you can prove grab the attention of people who share your goals and show your worth to them. 

Aspects 

Aspects are another dimension of astrological interpretation that can be considered. However, since the moon moves so quickly through the zodiac any aspects it makes to Natal Planets will be short lived. For example, let us suppose that you have Venus at 2° Scorpio, then that would mean that the transit Moon at 0° Leo is making a square to your Natal Venus. A square is a type of hard, or difficult, aspect in which the energy or urge of one planet is at odds with the energy or urge of another planet. 

When the Moon forms a square to Venus you feel more vulnerable in social situations and require more reassurance. You can become more easily upset now which makes you irritable. You might experience problems with your lover or emotional upsets at home. This is not a good time for having fun. 

How might  the ingress of the Moon in Leo manifest for you?
