The Moon continues its journey through Leo today, and if you’ve been feeling everything a little more intensely (your desires, your frustrations, your need to be seen) you’re not alone. Leo energy magnifies it all, bringing emotions to the surface like a blazing fire demanding attention. It’s easy to wait for the “perfect” moment to start something, to feel fully prepared before taking a leap. But Leo reminds us that courage isn’t about having everything figured out, it’s about showing up anyway. If you’ve been waiting for a sign to start, this is it.

With the Moon in Leo, the cosmic energy is pushing us toward boldness, self-expression, and creative risk-taking. If this transit connects with key planets in your chart, you may feel an urge to take action in areas related to romance, creativity, or personal recognition. A transit chart can show you exactly where this fiery energy is meant to activate your life. Is it pushing you toward a career breakthrough? A romantic confession? A creative leap? Understanding how today’s sky aligns with your personal planets can reveal the areas where you’re meant to take center stage and reclaim your power.

This morning, as the Moon blazed through its second day in Leo, I found myself in deep conversation with a friend who wasn’t feeling ready. She had a big job interview lined up (one she had been hoping for, dreaming of) but when the moment finally arrived, doubt crept in. What if I’m not prepared enough? What if I mess up? What if they see right through me?

I listened, nodding, because I knew exactly how she felt. How often do we stand at the edge of an opportunity, looking at it longingly, but paralyzed by the fear that we aren’t quite ready? We tell ourselves we need more time, more experience, more confidence. We wait for the perfect moment, the one where we wake up fearless, knowing exactly what to do, exactly what to say. But what if that moment never comes?

This Leo Moon doesn’t ask us to be fearless. it asks us to be bold despite our fears. Leo, ruled by the Sun, reminds us that the only way to step into our light is to actually step forward, even when we feel uncertain. Confidence isn’t something we magically wake up with one day, it’s something we build in motion. It’s the shaky voice in the first few minutes of the interview that steadies as we keep talking. It’s the first brushstroke on the canvas that turns into a masterpiece. It’s the first step onto a stage, heart pounding, before the performance flows effortlessly.

So I told my friend what I’m reminding myself today: Readiness isn’t a prerequisite for action. Action is what makes us ready. She took a deep breath and smiled, still nervous, but a little lighter. She went to that interview. Maybe she nailed it, maybe she didn’t, but what matters is that she showed up. She stepped into the fire.
