Leo For A Day
The Moon is in Leo…It’s a Waxing Moon…Empowered, enlightened, growing in influence.
The Leos?
Think: Photogenic, tweaking with their attention deficit disorder (they can’t get enough of it) and on heat.
If you are not a Leo, what to do? Maybe try being Leo For A Day??? Some suggestions…
* Hire or blackmail a minion to perform Scalp Massage during which you plan your no-longer-insane new love life. Because that was the Neptune Era – 1998 until early 2012. From now on your love life is to be epic, enviable and the epitome of sane.
* Drink Champagne (or San Pellegrino in a champagne glass if one is dieting/budgeting) and surf the net for hair vitamins, stupid conspiracy theories to use as conversation fillers and signs of how much more mental ex-lovers have become since you ‘shed’ them.
* Get a blow-dry and grace an art gallery with your inspirational presence. Or switch into Muse Mode and have sex with an artist to likewise inspire him/her but then have a falling out/existential crisis when said artist refuses to do your portrait for free and/or suggests an unflattering position.
* Attempt a gourmet dish first conceptualized by a totally thing chef with ingredients so exotic you can barely even pronounce them enough to name drop but then freak out at the stupid long-winded flambe process and eat fried potatoes in front of vintage Gossip Girl instead.
* Begin to do some positive affirmations in front of the mirror but then get the shits with how unflattering it is before falling into hate with your hairdresser and going back online to google hair enhancement information.

Is that my imagination or does that cat actually like wearing the lion’s mane hat? Most of the time cats make an ugly face when you dress them up with hats that look like frogs or whatever…
Exactly. This kitty has looked less happy with headgear.

LOL! MOOOSE!!!! poor kitty.
I had that pic on my iPhone for years so I recognized the kitty immediately. He finally got to be lion.
Gulp. I’ve experienced all of those scenarios in the last 13 years.
So odd that Leo stuff always feel so spot on when I’m an early Virgo/Virgo rising. Is it the Venus/Uranus/NN/Lilith in Leo or Saturn/Jup hooking up in the 5th house? The hair stories alone! (one of my biggest fights with my mother was over her buying the cheap shampoo).
rawrkitty HA love the headgear ! my cats are trussed up for holiday shots is hilar, promise – Ven/Jup in Leo opp Neptuner – cats on parade ! the outtakes are always the crowd fave when we are all hissy & pissy,lol.
car crown air fresheners ! bing ! my 3 kings ha great pic – *pets royal highness kitty*
Hey Rox, that kitty ~is~ SO cute with the headgear on.. lol. Some mornings I watch “Big Cats” on Animal Planet filmed in Africa. That or “Escape to Chimp Eden”…oh we tryin’ to escape alright…
Cleaning out storage this weekend. Don’t want to pay $80 a month anymore. Double xx Leo Mum and me had the storage for three years and now me, for a total of five.
Mars exact on my IC and conjunct Pluto opposite Sun/Mn midpoint. Just time is all. Pluto on the IC has always been a good transformational “scrubber” of the depths for me and with Mars there I’m hell bent to re-organize/re-prioritize for my remaining time on this earth thank you very much…
Really tho, the less shit I have, the easier on my kids….
I found Mother’s year books from 1954/1955…And a lovely black and white portrait of her at about 5 or 6 yrs old. Anyway, lots to sort “stuff” wise both inner and outer but inner feeling chill today cept for the lady who tried to box my in my car as she flipped me off cuz I honked at her for not waiting her turn to back out of the space…
For a sec I contemplated getting outta the car and whipping her ass…Then decided to pretend like I was calling 911…Eh, let someone else fight the battles today.
Gotta run as Kataka daughter has apparently emailed me about her wedding dress. Gem daughter gonna make the cake for her shower in August.
Hope all is well in your world darling. Don’t work too hard but sure you will anyhow…..xo
Please no haters on my darling Kataka’s wedding dress..
She is Mercury in Leo, Sagg Moon…but you can’t tell me she is not a Kataka at heart with this lace here…
Funny how nostalgic this weekend has been. Today I sold a gold/diamond ring my ex gave me twenty some years ago as I found it in storage…
http://www.etsy.com/listing/90761741/ellie-2-piece-lace-and-cotton-wedding?ref=cat2_gallery_10
This truly is an “unloading of stuff” period for me and Uranus conjunct Mercury trine Jup feeling like it is appropriate to unattach myself to things of the past but for the NOW and my girls…I am fully present.
I suppose it makes sense too as current Leo Moon on my Uranus, 3rd, trine South Node and Sun…
Making “neighborhood trips” (3rd) back and forth from storage to home…one more trip tomorrow…
Oh Sweets, the dress is pretty ! Simple and elegant, weddings are the time for lace, right ? xo
how cool is that ? Pluto & Uranus on natal Saturn for me.
So glad to hear you are sorting your things, I recently got my exes papers out, burned the refuse, got a giggle cause that was the cremation of that life…gone now. The strange thing, just came on me in a wild hair after years of putting it off, and no kidding my future came knocking right after.
Feels good doll, enjoy the new freedom having less brings ! xo Glad you are doing well…planning for a wedding, how fun ! I am working, but happily so, hope you are enjoying your writing. Great to hear from you !
love + hugs xo
I love leo moon time, especially when I do my hair, it always looks purrfect on a leo moon day. even bangs are suddenly no problemo
OH NO!
I’ve been getting a little miffed at all of the leo-bashing I’ve been perceiving (key word) lately, and I went into reading this thinking it was going to be totally unrelatable to me, being the exemplarily FANTASTIC Leo that I am; but now I feel like someone’s feeding secret footage of me to some online study, because that description has totally nailed me on any given day.
I shall proclaim today my own Moon in Taurus day, and spend it gardening and researching homesteading!
That kitty is like, “Yes, this is what I should have always been.”
Good hair products, essential. Like taking Vitamin D.
Actually, that is how the cat believes it IS. As a Leo ascendant and amateur lion tamer (well, feral cat tamer at least) I should explain.
Every cat has an invisible mane. It is their sensory field, mostly associated with its whiskers and the hairs on the tips of its ears. This is a sort of defensive mechanism, my grandfather was a vet and he told me this is how cats can tell if they can fit through a hole. If they poke their nose in and their whiskers hit the edges, they know they won’t fit.
But that doesn’t explain things like this:
I fit – see !
cute Charles…reading up on animal totems I find it fascinating horns and hair are linked with sensory perception and intuition ~ animals and humans too ~ your post cements that and the cat moose pic earlier too.
cool !
hahahah omg little kitten
*Grace an art gallery with your inspirational presence*
Tick being doing for last 2 years… now have schemed a fab ‘flash night’ of art awards for my Visual Art course… I’m the judge of course, posted the awards on our FB group and now planning the big Awards Ceremony starring moi in fishnets, shitkicker boots, and feather boa! Rock n roll!
*Or switch into Muse Mode and have sex with an artist to likewise inspire him/her but then have a falling out/existential crisis when said artist refuses to do your portrait for free and/or suggests an unflattering position* YES YES YES, I can totally do that! Spot-on Mystic!
And all I have in Leo is Dionysis and Persephone (otherwise empty 4th house)…
My inner Leo certainly does come out when I PAR-TAY! Roarrrrrrrrrrrrr
Empty houses have always made me feel… empty, disappointed in them. UNTIL Kimmy’s recent comment on her Venus thread, in response to the wise Shell. As Kim put it:
“Empty houses are my favourite because there’s not so much competition for fulfillment there.”
Sounds like your inner Lioness is right ‘at home’ sashaying in the 4th. Like all kitties, CUTE!
I so love being a Leo and yes, my hair is the envy of my friends. But with all the shifts going on there hasn’t been much male attention and I’m feeling unusually invisible. What’s going on? This is like Leo prison.
Try going redhead HW you can never be invisible then. I love it
So THAT’s whats going on! I have been dreaming about central Leos in my life for the past two nights. And not just ordinary, run-of-the-mill dreams … ultra intense, under-your-skin vivid dreams.The kind that stay with you for weeks on end.
Possibly stupid question for those more expert than myself: Does having my ruling planet (Jupiter) in Leo in the third house make me much more sensitive to Leo energy? I love Leos. I identify strongly with Leos. I identify strongly with my hair as well. And 2 of the 3 most important people in my life have been Leos and I feel a particular attachment to Leo in my chart. It must, right?
Whatever the case, I am definitely feeling this moon.
I’m lounging on the red velvet chaise, near the window with the glorious view, and doing a bit of stretching between sips of espresso. My panther has come to join me. She loves window views too.
the leo is luxuriant like a panther in slumber and more important than the Eiffel Tower
Funny, I’ve been missing some Uranian scales, wondering if I called they’d show, in the old magic double act.
Your voice ‘sounds’ different though. A different set?
What happened to Leo’s six weeks ago?!
In the last two days I have had two phone calls from peeps, both Leo’s telling me about all this stuff that is happening in their lives – huge/massive/mind blowing changes that occurred around 6 weeks ago.
AND WHY ARE THEY TELLING ME NOW?!
It’s the Zap Zone innit?
Hmmm…Just over six weeks ago, there was the last quarter moon (Pisces square moon in Sagg – Leo’s 8th and 5th house?pregnancy, crisis with a child? passion, jealousy, betrayal?sudden bequest/luck?). Mercury in Aries (9th?) had just gone retro, and Venus was conjunct Jupiter in Toro (10th?) and exactly trine Mars in Virgo (2nd) and Pluto in Cap (6th).
Six weeks ago my Leo sister’s teenage son had a skateboard accident that left him hospitalised with concussion skull fracture and bruising to the brain – very stressful for her and him as it wasn’t immediately clear whether he’d be left brain-damaged like so many kids who have similar accidents. Certainly fits the 5th (child) and 8th house (crisis) themes of that last quarter moon.
Wow! Thanks so much for checking it out Fi and boy does it fit! btw I hope your nephew is ok!?
One of the Leo’s didn’t have a crisis as such but did move house very suddenly. The other Leo had a breakdown of marriage and crisis involving teen!
Nephew IS ok we think, thanks BGem, although very, very lucky according to doctors, and still getting some weird symptoms. Final checkup scan today I think.
I hope it all goes well, best wishes! xx
love the cat in the lion suit.
Hmm… Spent the day “Hanging out” with my very aquarian “friend” who has a leo moon (aquariuan sun, but the mercury and venus oppose his leo moon…) Therefore… He is VERY confusing to be with, virgo rising just to make it worse… and I can never tell if he actually likes me in a romantic way… or if he just wants to be friends… or if this is the longest courting process I’ve ever experienced while he slowly pulls his guard down…
So… with this leo moon – Normally he doesn’t leave the house but today he was all “heey where are you?” and then rode his bike accross town to find me for a “quick bite” which turned into long walks in the sun and shandies on the picnic blanket as the sun goes down. But apart from that it was nothing.
So… if the moon is in leo… does this mean well? he’s feeling more at ease with the world because he has a leo moon himself?
You may like to add my following suggestion :
” Dream and formulate a career move so bold, brazen and avant-garde that makes you the envy of those whom ever doubted your potential – one for which you will achieve favourable esteem, importance and celebrity of epic proportions. . . …. as you lean forward to honor your new horizons from the seat of your private jet climbing higher and higher, you look back at the departed landscape to realise that you have left your Leo past together with those who mistook you and whom have become mere faded, depleted, specs of dust in your imaginary, soon to no longer exist. … .. You recline back into your chair as a handsome green-eyed, blonde haired waiter, with a muscular physique, hands you your martini and a gentle smile that has the invitation and promise of an evening of love-making so carnal and raptuous like scattered lightening in an abyss. “
*like*

yeah baby thats my kinda sunday afternoon
Fuq yeah! Over the past 24 hours I’ve decided to create a Flash night with my artist fellow students, where I star as MC in an ‘alternative’ awards ceremony… posted the awards on FB to universal acclaim and admiration
Written 3 pages of my awesome e-book ‘Radical Dating Advice from a Yogi’ (working title) which will be downloaded for $7 and make me a millionaire within 6 months…
And thinking about which of my younger man crushes I might have a fling with (if it is for both of our highest goods, of course)…
Just missed out on an awesome arts related part time job but the senior boss lady called me to say they had chosen someone with more marketing/writing experience… then gave me a 15 minute rave about how impressed they were with my savvy and enthusiasm… so I think it will translate to even more lucrative freelance work instead… A well spent 40 minutes of my time to engage and introduce myself to a gallery director and senior arts person at local council, who both now *love* me…
I think I’m becoming a Lioness!!

Mystic….are you just describing YOUR weekend darlink?

Whoah! It MUST have been Leo Moon… i nearly bought an originally $700 pair of booties cos they were, you know, on sale.
…AND they were leopard print.
I bet they looked fecking awesome though.
It was hard to walk away! But there was a spot that didn’t feel right and i know what that would mean after a few hours. This Piscean has run the gamut of beautiful painful shoes, and my Horses like to gallop.
But god yes for a brief moment i pranced about and they nearly came home with me.
I;ve made that journey. hobbling is NOT hot. $700 is an awful lot to pay for a shoeful of blisters!
PS I”m sure I “need” a sane love life but I sure don’t *want* one…it’s my uranus-scorp 5th house and venus aries… pluto transiting my 7th and permanently aquarian Mars… *minor lightbulb moment* No WONDER – on the balance of all that – I run screaming from any r’ship format that even thinks about whispering “psst…conventionall…balanced…socially acceptable…” aieeeeeeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEE *flees*
ConventionAL. one “L”..
Nah PUNM… Conventionalls fine.
Its Sigmund your AquaMars speaking.
I’ve got plenty of Uranian but I would love an aquarian one instead of the Aries tag team I’ve got.
Too feisty sometimes.
I’m sure the double L in conventionall stands for lotsa Linoleum or something
” lotsa lunatics” …
Welll… yeah .
Just a glimpse of the WORD ‘nventional ‘ conventionally spelt is going to get me started…
I’ve only just in recent years kinda made peace with myself over dealing with the concept of beige.
(tho it took a month of solid Ayahuasca to sort out that little hurdle….joking…)
haha. sometimes we must resort to extreme measures… maybe a month of psychoactive hoochie juice was worth overcoming the psychic blocks around beige.
the Nuances….:) gawd..I’m sounding like a snobby Aquarian..I just think we all owe it to mamaGaia to attempt the extra-ordinary in some way all the time these days.
well said. I know it, conventional shamenional bah!
Ha. Looks a bit like my yellow cat! I even named him Christian, after Christian the Lion – look it up on YouTube if you have not heard of him – great story.
LOVE the picture!
Actually, all cats know that they are lions or tigers- one of our cats, an orange tabby, would usually ignore the tv set, except when a nature documentary about tigers was on. Then, he would give it his rapt attention. We always joked that he wanted to be a tiger when he grew up. Sadly, this beloved kitty passed away a bit over a month ago 
I hope that he is a tiger in Heaven.
Sad to hear of the passing of your little Tiger Feline.
I’ve seen the passing of many animals in my lifetime and for me it carries the same gravity as the loss of my human friends.
It resonated for me for a bunch of reasons but mainly reminded me of a situation I had with a stockhorse mare years back.
Some horses just get into trouble. Some try to go through fences no matter how horse friendly they’re made and she was into both. A divine grey at the age where her dapples had a full on starburst effect and a fair bit of thoroughbred in her, so incredible poise.
She went through a fence and severed a major tendon just bellow her knee one day and the vet sewed it back together, cleaned up the wound . He thought there was a 10% chance that it would hold and we were all very lucky.
The reason your story reminded me of her was that without wanting to sound grim, they used to use cat-gut to sew these things together and I guess that was just like us donating organs.
Mainly tho, around the same time your Tiger passed, I had a few days where my immune system felt like it just got Belted from something in the ether. You know sometimes theres some bug or something flying around and its like , whoa, what was that??
I think these things just bounce off me these days thanks to what I learned from seeing Lulubelle heal herself. She got lots of herbal help for the wound (it was horrible) but I think what got her there was the fact that she was on a property with huge biodiversity. It was a coastal/forest cusp with incredible varied herbage and I often watched her instinctively find what she needed to fuse that tendon.
These days I find myself grazing all sorts of things whenever I’m out of sorts.(Plus some common over the counter preventative TCM.:) )
Now I might be going out on a limb here but It may be that instinctual drive to find the dietary items our bodies need is an astro influenced mechanism. Kinda like the geo-location system flashy phones have but with an eat local kinda solution..I dunno.
but if so theres certainly a good chance that a lot of the completely scientifically (un)lucky dip of synthetic additives /pesticides and whatever could totally scramble that radar..
I might be following that theory a bit more closely than I would Because I am DREADING the lollybag aftershocks my 4 & 6 year olds put me through week after week. I’m sure it aint just the sugar.
Oh..those lollybags..thats from the procession of their schoolmate’s parties that are just unavoidable….
My only scorpio friend, with some tight mars pluto goin on.. So i always wondered why his hands were so shaky but, that is before I understood aspects. He named his new pisces kitten Marchmallow. I have been turning down scorpios, I just dont trust the male ones at least. Or maybe its just my scorpio moon. dont jive well with the suns…
Lol, I forgot moon was in Leo yesterday -had many great compliments on my hair.
