First Quarter Moon in Leo

On April 27, 2023, we'll be experiencing a Leo 1st Quarter Moon.

There is a building tension between values that seem to be in conflict with the Taurus sun squaring the Leo moon. This is a time for taking inspired action and making compassionate yet clear observations about where you are visible, valued, and admired by others as well as in what ways you long to be loved and appreciated just as you are in your authenticity. With this 1st Quarter Moon, how you want to play, have fun, and express your creativity is coming into conflict with your material world value. You may have internal struggles around praise--how you want to be praised, whether you are praised, etc.

You may find yourself triggered, agitated, and in conflict with yourself. This tension is designed to help you sort out what values matter most to you so you can live in greater alignment with your values. Take a deep breath and just notice what you feel and think without passing judgement on yourself. Take stock of how you feel about admiration and material value and authentic self-expression and praise and creativity.

You can use the following meditative journaling prompts to aid you in taking inspired action on your own values and accurately observing the results:

Meditative Journaling Prompts for Leo 1st Quarter Moon

• What do I believe about my material contributions? Money, impact on the world, physical possessions, skills acquired, physical health and beauty, etc?
• In what ways do I crave admiration? In what ways do I reject it?
• How would it feel to be admired by others while still living in alignment with my own personal values?
• In what ways do I let my material worth influence how I allow others to love me? To see me?
• How would it feel to show up authentically without fear of being wounded by rejection?
• What is the difference between love and admiration?
• How do I feel about playing?
• How would it feel to embrace play and creativity and fun and curiosity in my life?
• What is one thing I will do today to allow myself to play and relax like a child?
• What is one thing I will do today to show myself love and admiration?

Both 1st and 3rd Quarter moons trigger internal stress that is designed to help us progress. To prod us into further development of our souls. To keep us from stagnating in our dis-empowering (yet comfortable) ways. It can sometimes be incredibly uncomfortable to feel the tension of quarter moons, but it's oh-so-necessary for our progression and development as offspring of Divinity.

I wish you all the best as you navigate the energies within yourself and without!
