Waxing Crescent Shines on the Lion’s Heart

June 12, 2024

Early this morning at approximately 1:08 AM as Wednesday was just beginning, I caught the Moon transiting the astrological 6th House. This is interesting because it was by chance. I just happened to look at the astrological chart last night when I got home from work, and it was also by chance that I saw the Moon at 12:00 noon in the 6th House in Aquarius on May 28th (that you can read about it in the last Moon Scope posting).

What I’m trying to say is that there’s a message that connects the two charts (the chart from May 28th at 12:00 noon and the chart from earlier this morning), which is kind of special because we’re talking about two different lunar cycles.

When this current lunar cycle reaches its full moon, the culmination will be about something that started during the final seven days of the previous lunar cycle instead of the beginning of this current one. That’s rare.

So, the Moon earlier this morning was a waxing crescent illuminated at 34%. The 6th House crescent was on the 29th degree of Leo, which put it in conjunction with Regulus.

Leo is the fiery-proud-and regal lion. He’s full of emotional fire, he has an absolute love for life, being on stage, and being the center of attention. He can also be a bit dogmatic and boastful, but hey, he’s the king of the jungle baby!

What I’m sensing here is break through of some kind. The 6th House will manifest energy dealing with health, the service we provide to ourselves and others, and work so that’s where this break through will be seen.

Regulus is also known as Alpha Leonis, it’s the brightest star in the Leo Constellation and one of the brightest stars in the night sky. Regulus is the heart of the lion, and across many cultures it carries a special significance.

The Moon on May 28th was in Aquarius in the 6th House, so what I see here is an energy that’s directed towards making or creating a better future for ourselves. As this current moon passes the 29th degree of Leo and makes it way into Virgo, we’ll begin to get more serious about our health, exercise routines, how we treat other people, service, and the work that we do.

This conjunction between the Moon and Regulus represents a return to prominence. We’ve either been putting something off, ignoring something, or just not giving our full attention to something related to health, service, and work for whatever reason, but the energy now supports our efforts to get it right.

You should never live in the past or the future, but know that it was your past that put you in the situation you currently find yourself in, and it’s the now moment that will create the future you want for yourself.

The vertical axis in the astrological chart from earlier this morning shows the Midheaven (MC-10th House Cusp) touching the 24th degree of Sagittarius, and the Imum Coeli (IC-4th House Cusp) touching the 24th degree of Gemini.

The horizontal axis touches the 19th degree of Pisces on the ascendant side and the 19th degree of Virgo on the descendent side. With Sagittarius, Gemini, Pisces, and Virgo highlighted, there’s a peaceful blend of mutable energy. When the energy is mutable, the way forward is to be more receptive. Watch, listen, and learn so you can adjust to the proper flow.

Dominance, aggression, and prideful activity will be thwarted through this time. I know you want to impose your will, that’s our nature, but you’ll be running into a wall. Think about how water when poured into a glass takes the shape of the glass. That’s how we need to be now, mutable, open, and capable of adjusting to new things.
