Daily Horoscope: Moon Transiting Leo, July 18, 2023

Moon transiting Leo, Tuesday, July 18th, may deliver opportunities for personal growth which are intimidating, but pressure you to step up and be the best you can be, as the moon joins Mercury in Leo, and together, they form a square aspect with Jupiter in Taurus. Beyond a perceived necessity of presenting an appearance of confidence or mastery, the importance of upholding commitment, integrity, respect, and reputation is emphasized as Venus in Leo conjunct Mars in Virgo opposes Saturn in Pisces, squares Uranus in Taurus, and is trine to Chiron in Aries. You can’t say one thing and do another, or profess to be someone you are not – but you can commit to the work of change and the discipline of practice – and the Yod which Venus and Mars create with Neptune retrograde in Pisces, and Pluto retrograde in Capricorn, indicates it is your fate and destiny to be inspired and empowered, so you can uplift and transform others. Late yesterday, under the Cancer New Moon, the lunar nodes switched signs from North Node in Taurus to North Node in Aries, and South Node in Scorpio to South Node in Libra. Karmic agreements and lessons were focused on money, values, boundaries, and trust – now they highlight the balance, harmony, or discord in relationships, as well as the mirror effect you experience in relationship. The lunar nodes form a Grand Cross with the sun in Cancer and Pluto in Capricorn, suggesting you are at a crossroads of transformation regarding perceptions, projections, and expectations of yourself and the “other” in relating. Be authentic, direct, and honest, and ask for the same in return, because that Grand Cross, plus Uranus sextile to the sun and trine to Pluto, supports walking away from anyone who is not.
