The Moon is leaving Leo behind on November 3rd, carrying with it the last quarter's reckoning and release. Mars still burns in Leo alongside Jupiter, creating a final flare of boldness before the Moon crosses into Virgo at 08:27 UTC, shifting the emotional current from dramatic to discerning. Meanwhile, the Sun deepens into Scorpio at 10° 34', and Mercury follows close behind at 14° 15', both speaking in the language of intensity, secrets, and what lies beneath the surface. This is a day of transition—the old lunar cycle loosening its grip while a new emotional terrain approaches. We are caught between what wants to be released and what wants to be examined.
Venus sits in Libra at 25° 18', still seeking balance and beauty in our connections, but there is friction here. Saturn in Aries and Neptune in early Aries create a restless, questioning undertone to everything we value. Pluto in Aquarius reminds us that transformation is happening in the background, whether we are paying attention or not. The Last Quarter Moon in Leo is the phase where we begin to see clearly what did not work, what we need to let go of, what the past cycle was really teaching us. This is a day for honest reckoning and the slow, deliberate work of releasing what no longer serves.

♈ Aries
March 21 – April 19
clearing old ground
Saturn sits in your sign, and Neptune is close behind—a combination that asks you to distinguish between what you truly believe and what you have inherited or absorbed from others. The Last Quarter Moon in Leo (your fifth house of creativity and self-expression) suggests something you made or shared needs to be reconsidered, not destroyed, just honestly evaluated. Mars in Leo adds urgency to this process; you want to move, to act, but this is a day for stillness first. What becomes clear when you stop pushing?
Cosmic Homework: Sit with one belief about yourself that you have never questioned and ask yourself: Is this actually mine, or did I take it on to please someone else?
♉ Taurus
April 20 – May 20
home and foundations
The Last Quarter Moon in Leo illuminates your fourth house of home, family, and inner security—a time when you begin to see what feels stable and what feels fragile in your domestic or emotional foundation. Venus in Libra (your third house) is seeking communication and lightness, but there is tension between the desire to keep the peace and the need to speak difficult truths. Mercury in Scorpio pushes you toward depth; surface-level conversations will not satisfy you. Something in your home or family situation wants honest attention.
Cosmic Homework: Ask one person in your household or inner circle one question you have been afraid to ask because you worry about their reaction.
♊ Gemini
May 21 – June 20
words and boundaries
Mercury in Scorpio is your ruling planet speaking from the depths, and it is asking you to say something you have been editing, softening, or withholding. The Last Quarter Moon in Leo touches your third house of communication and daily exchange, making this a powerful moment for clarity—but clarity often requires naming the uncomfortable. Venus in Libra wants things pleasant and balanced, yet Mars in Leo is restless, wanting directness. You are caught between competing needs: the desire to be liked and the need to be heard.
Cosmic Homework: Write out one thing you need to say to someone, exactly as you feel it, without editing for their comfort.
♋ Cancer
June 21 – July 22
resources and worth
The Last Quarter Moon in Leo shines on your second house of resources, values, and self-worth—a time when you take stock of what you actually have and what you truly need. Venus in Libra (your second house as well) speaks to money and security, but there is a question beneath: Are you valuing yourself at your true worth, or are you still operating from old scarcity? The Sun and Mercury in Scorpio dig deeper, asking what you are afraid to claim. This is less about getting more and more about recognizing what is already yours.
Cosmic Homework: List three things about yourself that make you valuable, not in terms of productivity or achievement, but simply as a person.
♌ Leo
July 23 – August 22
identity and release
The Last Quarter Moon is in your sign—and this is powerful work. You are being asked to look at who you have been and begin consciously releasing what no longer fits. Mars and Jupiter are also in Leo, amplifying your presence and your energy, but the waning Moon softens this into reflection rather than pure action. You are being invited to shed a skin, to question the version of yourself that has been performing or striving. This is not about dimming your light; it is about lighting it from a truer source. The Moon moves into Virgo later in the day, shifting you into analytical mode.
Cosmic Homework: Name one way you have been showing up that feels like a performance rather than an authentic expression, and consider what would happen if you stopped.
♍ Virgo
August 23 – September 22
rest and reflection
The Last Quarter Moon in Leo touches your twelfth house of rest, solitude, and what is hidden—a time to pause before the Moon enters your sign later on November 3rd and brings new energy. You have been processing something beneath the surface, and this phase asks you to give that work the space it needs. Neptune in Aries (your eighth house) adds a dreamy, uncanny quality; boundaries between self and other are soft. This is less a day for productivity and more a day for letting things settle, for listening to what your intuition is trying to tell you.
Cosmic Homework: Spend at least fifteen minutes alone in silence without your phone, and notice what thoughts or feelings emerge when you stop filling the space with noise.
♎ Libra
September 23 – October 22
community and belonging
Venus is in your sign, and yet the Last Quarter Moon in Leo (your eleventh house of friends, groups, and belonging) suggests a reckoning about the communities and connections you are part of. Are these relationships nourishing you, or are you performing to stay in them? Mars in Leo adds ambition and drive to your social sphere; you want to matter, to lead, to be seen. But this waning phase asks: What would you keep if you stripped away the need to impress? Mercury in Scorpio digs for truth beneath pleasantries.
Cosmic Homework: Identify one friendship or group affiliation that no longer feels authentic, and consider what would need to change for it to feel true again.
♏ Scorpio
October 23 – November 21
purpose and visibility
The Sun and Mercury are both in your sign, deepening your introspective power, and the Last Quarter Moon in Leo illuminates your tenth house of career, reputation, and public role. You are seeing clearly what you have built, what works, and what no longer aligns with who you are becoming. This is not a time to make drastic moves but to gather honest information about the path you are on. Jupiter and Mars in Leo add visibility and opportunity, but the waning Moon asks you to slow down and evaluate before leaping. What legacy do you actually want to build?
Cosmic Homework: Write down three things you want to be known for—not what you think you should be known for, but what actually matters to you.
♐ Sagittarius
November 22 – December 21
exploration and belief
The Last Quarter Moon in Leo touches your ninth house of belief, travel, and expansion—a phase when you question what you have been accepting as truth. The Sun and Mercury in Scorpio (your ninth house as well) dig deeper into philosophy, meaning, and the stories you tell yourself about your life. Venus in Libra wants to keep things pleasant, but there is an underlying push toward authenticity. Mars and Jupiter in Leo suggest restlessness; you want to go somewhere, understand something, grow beyond current limits. But this waning phase asks: What do you need to unlearn first?
Cosmic Homework: Examine one core belief about life or yourself that you have held for years, and ask yourself whether you still actually agree with it or if you are just habituated to it.
♑ Capricorn
December 22 – January 19
intimacy and transformation
The Last Quarter Moon in Leo illuminates your eighth house of shared resources, intimacy, and transformation—a time when you begin to see what is truly mutual in your partnerships and what is one-sided. Pluto in Aquarius has been reshaping your relationships at a deep level, and this Moon phase gives you clarity about what that process is teaching you. The Sun and Mercury in Scorpio (your eighth house) add intensity and honesty to these reflections. Mars in Leo wants passion; Venus in Libra wants balance. What does real intimacy require of you right now?
Cosmic Homework: Identify one dynamic in a close relationship that you have been avoiding addressing, and consider what would shift if you named it clearly.
♒ Aquarius
January 20 – February 18
connection and creativity
The Last Quarter Moon in Leo shines on your seventh house of partnership and one-on-one relationships, asking you what you truly want from the people closest to you. Venus in Libra (your seventh house) seeks harmony, but Mercury in Scorpio and the waning Moon suggest that real connection requires honesty, not just pleasantness. Pluto in your sign is reshaping who you are at a fundamental level, which inevitably changes how you relate to others. Mars and Jupiter in Leo add vibrancy to your social and romantic life, but this phase asks: Are you connecting from your authentic self or from a version you think others will prefer?
Cosmic Homework: Tell one person you are close to something true about yourself that you have been hesitant to share because you worried they might judge you.
♓ Pisces
February 19 – March 20
work and daily life
The Last Quarter Moon in Leo illuminates your sixth house of work, health, and daily rhythms—a time when you take honest stock of how you are spending your time and energy. Are your daily habits serving you, or are they depleting you? Venus in Libra seeks balance and beauty in your work life, but Mercury in Scorpio pushes for depth and meaningful engagement. Saturn and Neptune in Aries (your sixth house) add an underlying restlessness; something in your routine wants to change. This is less a day for grand gestures and more a day for small, deliberate adjustments to how you move through your days.
Cosmic Homework: Identify one daily habit or commitment that feels draining, and experiment with changing it or releasing it entirely for one week.
