Leo

The lunar events falling across the week ahead, and what each means for you.

Sat 12 Sep

New Moon in Virgo

Aspect to Leo Semi-sextile

Neighbouring signs share a border and little else. They tend to find each other slightly baffling in a way that is more irritating than dramatic.

Fri 18 Sep

First Quarter in Sagittarius

Aspect to Leo Trine

Same element. The smoothest combination in the zodiac — mutual understanding without translation, at the risk of never being challenged.

Why this is a list rather than a story

The dates above are astronomy — they are the same for everyone and were fixed long before anyone asked. What is added is the geometry between each lunar position and your sign. Anything beyond that would be invention, and inventing it is what makes most long-range horoscopes worthless.

Computed for the week ahead

The moon changes sign 3 times in this period

Angles and focus below are computed against Leo, so this table differs for every sign. How it is worked out →

2 harmonious angles to Leo — trines and sextiles, where the moon's sign and yours share an element or a temperament.
1 tense ones — squares, oppositions and quincunxes, where the two signs have no easy way to translate between them.
Easy is how the week ahead tilts for Leo specifically. The dates below are the same for everyone; the angles are not.

Sun 13 Sep · moon enters Libra · Sextile

Balance, fairness and acute awareness of other people. The moon is sextile your sign: workable, but only if you do something with it — and for Leo that meets needs recognition badly enough that its absence reads as rejection.

Counting from Leo, that sign occupies the 3rd house — conversations, messages and short trips.

Tue 15 Sep · moon enters Scorpio · Square

Intensity, privacy and refusal to accept surfaces. The moon squares your sign, which is friction rather than misfortune — and for Leo that meets needs recognition badly enough that its absence reads as rejection.

Counting from Leo, that sign occupies the 4th house — the household, roots and private life.

Thu 17 Sep · moon enters Sagittarius · Trine

Expansion, honesty and appetite for the unfamiliar. The moon is trine your sign — the easiest angle, and the one you are least likely to notice — and for Leo that meets genuinely generous, and lifts the mood of a room by walking into it.

Counting from Leo, that sign occupies the 5th house — play, flirtation and anything you make.
