Wednesday, JUNE 17

The Moon moves into the sign of Leo at 8:05 AM EDT, stirring our need to play, express ourselves, and create. Showing confidence and backbone brings rewards with this transit.

However, with today’s Venus-Pluto opposition, we’re confronting areas of our lives where we might be holding onto something too tightly for fear of losing it. Confrontations or events can bring complicated feelings and fears to a head. We may make uncomfortable discoveries now, and while some of them can ultimately help us, we may be pushing too far in search of answers.

It’s best to watch for manipulative behavior arising from insecurities or fear of betrayal. It can be a time of intense feelings, some emotional distress, and struggles against, or for, control. Feelings of being used can emerge, possessiveness can be a problem, and fears of betrayal or attachment might drive our behavior.

Problem areas that have been buried or operating just under the surface of things can now emerge, disrupting the flow.

The Moon hooks into this energy as it aligns with Venus and opposes Pluto almost simultaneously, and we’re especially emotionally invested in these concerns. It’s a confrontational, challenging energy, but it may also help us connect with our needs, perhaps in a convoluted way. There can be some intensity in our relationships and/or inner emotional turmoil. It may be best to avoid mind games and prioritize self-care.

The Moon is void from 3:41 AM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a conjunction to Jupiter), until the Moon enters Leo at 8:05 AM EDT.
