How would you feel about a week of creative energy, motivation, and passion? If that sounds like your cup of tea, keep reading to see what the stars have in store for you this week!
We have one major transit this week – the First Quarter Moon in Leo, taking place on April 27th, is a powerful time that occurs approximately one week after the New Moon in Aries. This phase marks the first significant challenge in the lunar cycle and brings a burst of creative energy and motivation. During this time, it is essential to focus on setting clear intentions, taking action toward your goals, and connecting with your inner fire.
Leo is the sign of the child, and during this time, it’s essential to tap into your inner child’s energy. Do activities that bring you joy, creativity, and playfulness, and allow yourself to let go of any inhibitions and fully embrace the present moment.
Leo is ruled by the Sun, and during this time, connecting with this powerful energy source is beneficial. Spend time outdoors, meditating in the sunlight or visualizing yourself basking in its warm glow. The Sun represents vitality, courage, and creativity, all qualities you can tap into during this phase.
The sign of the lion is also associated with self-expression, so during this time, it’s essential to find ways to express yourself authentically. Write, draw, paint, or dance – whatever form of expression feels most natural to you. Allow yourself to be bold and unapologetic in your self-expression.
The First Quarter Moon is a time of action and momentum, so use this energy to take steps towards achieving your goals. Make a plan, schedule, and act toward your desired outcome. You may encounter some obstacles during this time, but don’t let them discourage you. Instead, use them as opportunities to learn and grow.
April 24th – April 30th is a Week to Get Creative, Take Action, & Move Towards Your Goals
It’s a good week to focus on expressing your creativity, taking bold actions toward your goals, and connecting with your inner self. Engaging in spiritual practices such as meditation, yoga, or visualization can help you tap into your intuition and connect with your higher self. Incorporating affirmations and positive self-talk into your daily routine can also help boost your confidence and help you take more risks in pursuing your dreams.
How can you tap into my creativity during a First Quarter Moon in Leo transit? Be sure that self-expression is a major part of your focus this week.
