Astrology for Tuesday, 24 September 2019:

Today the Moon enters Leo and immediately forms a sextile to the Sun in Libra. This gives the Moon reception from the Sun, support for its time in Leo. The Moon sextile the Sun can feel like an ease between our felt sense of self and how we are seen by others. Leo invites us to show up more fully as our most authentic selves and trust that others will appreciate, celebrate, and love us for who we are. Brené Brown writes that “authenticity is a daily practice. Choosing authenticity means: cultivating the courage to be emotionally honest, to set boundaries, and to allow ourselves to be vulnerable; exercising the compassion that comes from knowing that we are all made of strength and struggle and connected to each other through a loving and resilient human spirit; nurturing the connection and sense of belonging that can only happen when we let go of who we are supposed to be and embrace who we are.” As the Moon moves into a square from Uranus, we may feel the push to break with other people’s expectations and instead offer them the opportunity to know us as we experience ourselves. Finally, Mercury in Libra forms a sextile to Jupiter in Sagittarius. This is a good time to follow your curiosities into new, unfamiliar terrains, explore new ideas and perspectives, and nurture new connections to people who have something to teach you. It is also a time to express our gratitude—to our teachers, to our loved ones, to our ancestors, and to the Earth.
