Moon Transit in Leo

Leo belongs to the Sun, and the Moon counts the Sun a friend. Chandra passes through in about two to three days. The sign is fixed and fiery, which slows the Moon's usual flow, and pride and feeling run together here.

Leo governs the stomach, the heart, children and creative work. The Moon in this sign wants to be seen and answered, so small slights land hard during the passage. Creative work started now carries warmth.

The nakshatras are Magha, Purva Phalguni and Uttara Phalguni. Magha, under Ketu, opens with ancestors and inherited feeling, and suits shraddha and remembrance. Purva Phalguni, under Venus, brings rest, pleasure and celebration, and Uttara Phalguni, under the Sun, closes with duty and steady friendship.

Gochara counts the Moon well in the first, third, sixth, seventh, tenth and eleventh from the natal Moon: Leo, Gemini, Pisces, Aquarius, Scorpio and Libra Moons. Capricorn Moons meet Chandrashtama and do well to avoid confrontation. Virgo Moons carry it in the twelfth, where the appetite drops.

The passage shows how much of a person's peace waits on recognition. Giving attention to others for one of these days settles that need quickly.

Keep the stomach light.

• Remember the ancestors during Magha with water and a simple offering.
• Praise someone else's work before speaking of your own.
• Rest during Purva Phalguni where the schedule allows.

Moon in Leo for each Moon sign

Counted from the natal Moon, following Phaladeepika. Ashtam Chandra is the Moon in the 8th from the natal Moon. Read the ascendant the same way. Vedha and the birth chart can change the result.
