Daily Horoscope: Moon Transiting Leo, May 8, 2022

Moon transiting Leo, Sunday, May 8th, places special attention on mothers and their children as the moon spends the day in the fire sign which has rulership of the 5th house of children in the zodiac wheel, while a trine aspect to Venus in Aries may generate strong feelings about your own mother or mother figures in your life. While that favorable trine aspect can highlight the very best qualities of a mother and child relationship, square aspects which the sun conjunct Uranus in Taurus creates with the Leo moon, and Saturn in Aquarius, can activate the uncomfortable feelings some may have around their mother or motherhood. Some may be feeling the lack or loss of a mother today, while others are able to think of their mother fondly. Neptune conjunct Jupiter in Pisces forming supportive sextile aspects to Mercury in Gemini, and Pluto in Capricorn, gives you the opportunity to examine the spiritual significance of family connections and ancestral heritage with the goal of improving communication, gaining wisdom, opening to forgiveness and healing, and facilitating empowerment and transformation. Your own natal chart contains the potential of every archetype within it because every astrological sign is included in some way in the complete 360 degree wheel of the twelve signs. The archetype of “mother”, as well as “child” is in your chart, and an examination of your own natal chart can help you understand more about what mother and mothering means to you. While today’s Leo lunar transit on a day dedicated to honoring mothers and celebrating motherhood could bring up mixed and complicated feelings, the planetary aspects and transits help to make the good better and offer a chance to heal the hurt.
