First Quarter Moon in Leo

Tension is in the air.

You know that you can achieve your goals, which is half the battle, but this card suggests you need to be less show and more substance as you move slowly towards your goals. Don't try to impress anyone with money. Avoid allowing your ego to overwhelm you. Don't opt for something merely because you think it'll impress others. Practise grounding. In a financial situation, slow your spending. In love, if you're being stubborn or possessive, now is the time to stop.

This card holds a lot of power — you just need to challenge the heated energies in a wise way.

Identify and clear any blocks. Step up to receive all the goodies that life has to offer you. You have to want it.

Your Sacral chakra (Svadhisthana) is located a little below your navel and is bright orange in colour. This is the centre of your sexual energy and it helps you to connect with the people around you and to express your creativity.

Hold this card to your lower belly and visualize yourself in a column of orange light from the highest source. Allow yourself to bathe in it. Call in the energies with these words: 'Energies of the First Quarter Moon in Leo, thank you for reminding me to shine while staying humble!'

The best time to work your magic is when the Moon is in Leo, on a Sunday (the Sun's day) or during the Sun's hour.

The First Quarter Moon in Leo takes place when the Sun is in Taurus and the Moon is in Leo. It knows that being strong doesn't mean being stubborn.
