Right now the Moon is in Sagittarius (Waxing Gibbous, 87% illuminated), and the Sun sits in Leo.
This month your Fire energy meets a restless Moon. The Waxing Gibbous Moon in Sagittarius lights your outer horizon, pushing curiosity and a hunger for bigger context. As a Cardinal sign led by Mars, Aries tends to act; with this lunar shape in Sagittarius, the impulse is to escalate from impulse to intention — to take sparks and ask what they mean in the wider story of your life. Conversations and ideas feel bigger than usual; you might notice impatience with details and an urge to speak from principle.
Mars colors how you go after that urge: quicker, more direct, and less tolerant of hedging. That intensity can help you initiate bold learning or expand a relationship, but it also leans toward charging ahead before viewpoints are fully tested. The Moon being almost full (about 84% illuminated) invites a rehearsal rather than a finale — experiment with scale and tone, then step back and listen to how others respond. Your task is to temper the Martian shove with Sagittarian perspective: act, yes, but with curiosity about consequence.
Try one of these small experiments this month to make the transit tangible. Journal for two evenings on a single big question: what belief are you ready to defend, and where might you be overly attached to being right? Invite a trusted friend into one conversation where your immediate strategy is to ask three open-ended questions before giving an opinion. Notice one boundary: when you feel the urge to interrupt or redirect, pause and count to four before speaking.
This phase favors expansion that’s tested against reality — bold proposals framed with room to learn will feel most satisfying.

Cardinal fire that leads with instinct — quick to start, quicker to move on.
