Your Feelings Want the Spotlight Today

The Moon in Leo at 25° is pushing you toward visibility and self-expression—a direct challenge to your usual instinct to stay behind the scenes, tending to others. This waxing gibbous is nearly full, meaning energy is building toward a climax, and Leo demands you be seen. Your ruling Moon is telling you something important: your needs matter as much as everyone else's. Don't shrink.

Jupiter retrograde in your sign is still working to rebuild your foundation, but today it's asking you to test your newfound confidence in public. With Mercury retrograde in Pisces, old conversations or unspoken feelings are surfacing—don't ignore them. This is clarification disguised as confusion. Venus in Pisces softens the edges; people are receptive to what you actually want to say.

Here's your move: Tell someone today what you've been protecting them from knowing. Not harshly—Cancer doesn't work that way—but honestly. The Leo Moon will give you the nerve. You'll feel lighter afterward.
