Right now, I’m looking at this conjunction at the top of the chart below, which is dated for today at 5:39 p.m.

The Midheaven is in Leo on the 17th degree, Mars is in Leo on the Tenth House side on the 21st degree, and the Moon is in Leo on the Ninth House side on the 14th degree. If I use an orb of 2.5 degrees, neither the Moon nor Mars is conjunct the Midheaven, but I’m obviously going to widen that.
In terms of relationships, the Moon has a stronger connection to the Midheaven because it’s closer to it than Mars is. I’d say, emotionally, we can be pretty stirred up at this time with the Moon in Leo, but the Moon’s presence brings a cooler and more patient approach to things.
Subconsciously, we’re thinking big. We’re thinking about expansion. How we can be seen? How can we put ourselves in a leadership position of authority? We can see this for ourselves as the Midheaven represents the top of the tree, our highest reach, and branching out.
Leo is the sign of will, and Mars indicates courage, leadership, and aggression. We have the ability to take action here, and even though we might not be totally aware of all of our subconscious thoughts, the spirit of the warrior can certainly create new situations. Noble and full of pride, we could be quick to react to something we believe in or hold close to our hearts if we’re challenged, but the Moon gives us extra time to think things through.
With the ascendant in Scorpio, there can be lots of ambition and determination, and this works well with Leo’s desire to expand, however, it’s the square between the Moon and the ascendent that’s making things difficult at the Midheaven. In the Ninth House, we could be in a situation where we’ve had to deal with secretive and jealous people, which in all honesty has delayed our plans for a very long time.
Lies and deceit have taken a toll on your reputation, and in the Tenth House of Public Image and Reputation, people might totally misunderstand you. Instead of seeing you as a defender and a sacred warrior, they see you as someone who’s impatient, violent, and unnecessarily aggressive.
This is a very hard combination of energy for us to bring into balance. We have the ambition and the passionate desire of Scorpio mixing with the fixed fires of a potentially stubborn and self-righteous Leo. We have a person who has a tremendous desire to succeed, to grow, and to expand in an enthusiastic way. This highly driven individual will always be seen as someone who’s selfish, egotistical, and only concerned with personal gains.
This energy will draw its fair share of jealousy, and it’s way too easy for a jealous individual to use this person’s energy against them. So, you have to be cool, and you have to be creative.
The Sun rules Leo, and the Sun is in a tight conjunction with Mercury in Gemini. We have the will to communicate. We’re fearless when it comes to getting stuff off our chests, especially when all that stuff belongs to other people. We’re finally speaking up for ourselves, and we’re saying, “Hey, that’s not me. I’m not that way!”
Having a conversation with your brother or sister, or uncle can be beneficial now. You might benefit mentally and financially. In the sign of Gemini, the sign of the Twins, we finally pick up the partner we need to reach the top of the tree (Midheaven). Remember to remain loyal to those who take care of you, who show up for you, and those who treat you right.
At the end of the day, there’s an opportunity to establish ourselves locally. In the neighborhood and in the community, there’s an opportunity to recreate ourselves or to establish ourselves for the first time. Communication, commerce, and abundance is all present in Gemini in the Eighth House. That energy and the energy from the ascendent in Scorpio is rising to a peak-to the Midheaven in Leo.
Now, it’s because we’re spending time in our local neighborhoods and our communities that we’re encountering so much pettiness and so much jealousy. Everyone knows everyone and everyone is always in someone else’s business. It is what it is.
I read something today that said, “If you stop to throw rocks at every barking dog, you’ll never reach your destination.”
Keep it moving. Don’t get caught up in situations that delay your success or your progress, but at the same time, don’t be snobbish. Like everything, it’s a balance.
There’s a real good chance to rise to power, and to be seen as a king in the Tenth House of Public Image. We’re talking about real fame. Follow through on all your ideas even if they seem silly or like a waste of time. You never know!
