Waxing Crescent in Leo -Final Aspect: Moon in Cancer Sextile Uranus Date: May 30–June 1, 2025
Moon Phase: Waxing Crescent in Leo
The Waxing Crescent phase builds momentum around the intentions set at the New Moon. It’s a time to take inspired action, clarify your goals, and nurture what's beginning to grow.
With the Moon in bold and expressive Leo, energy turns outward — we’re invited to show up more visibly, lead with heart, and embody confidence through creativity and play. This is a moment for courageous expression, joyful presence, and sharing what feels meaningful and true.
Moon’s Final Aspect Before Entering Leo: Moon in Cancer Sextile Uranus
Before the Moon entered Leo, its final aspect while still in Cancer was a sextile to Uranus — a gentle yet activating exchange between the Moon’s emotional intuition and Uranus' urge for innovation and progress.
This aspect may feel like a soft inner stirring — as though something is gently shifting below the surface. You may feel both comforted and curious at the same time, as if change is not threatening but quietly welcomed. Emotions may rise not to overwhelm, but to awaken. There can be a peaceful readiness to adjust something subtle in order to align with something bigger.
How this may show up in real life:
A subtle emotional breakthrough that feels liberating and safe
A spontaneous shift in your inner world that opens the door to greater authenticity
A comforting realization that it’s okay to do things differently — especially in how you nurture yourself or others
A creative idea arising from an intuitive “gut feeling”
Feeling grounded enough to take a small but meaningful risk
This final aspect shapes the emotional backdrop as we move into Leo — offering quiet confidence and intuitive encouragement to take the next bold step from a place of emotional integration, not impulsivity.
