Moon & Mercury in Leo

Powerful Inner Mind

MOON meets MERCURY at 3°LEO where Personal Rulership is key!

Additional action this Independence Day! Right along with the push for Inner Movement at the Moon/Mars meetup!

The constellation for this area of Leo is CRATER the celestial cup that sits upon the back of sea serpent HYDRA.

Mythology speaks to the energy of Leo in epic tale! APOLLO was viewed as the essence of the Sun in (human form).

Leo is ruled by the Sun. As the myths relay, Crater is the Cup of Apollo. One day, Apollo was thirsting for experience.

So he sends his power animal CORVUS the Crow with cup in tow, to fetch some water of conscious life experience.

But the Crow finds some fruit, soon to be ripe in a few days, so he spends the time waiting, only to stuff his own gullet.

Needing an alibi for his return with an empty cup, the crow grabs a snake to blame for blocking access to the water.

Apollo was wise to the ambitious Crow and knew his words to be untrue. On that day, crows lost their ability to speak.

Apollo places a Wise Owl, Receptive Cup, Ambitious Crow, and Creative Urge of a Snake in the heavens for all to see!

A permanent record so mankind can remember this common human struggle over the base instinct of selfish ambition.

Perhaps the CROW is very well suited for reflecting this natural instinct of the Outer Self; the energy of personal AMBITION.

As the story goes, crows were originally white. Quite symbolic of a time when the ambitions of man were truly pure.

The picture symbol for this degree reflects the old adage and modern country verse: "A little less talk, and a lot more action."

A dignified outer representation of long standing wisdom reflects the idea that successes are gained through transformation of base instincts.

Moon & Mars in Cancer

Revelatory Inner Action

MOON meets MARS at 13°CANCER where Personal Revelations 

can-cer-tainly rock our world!

The MOON wears the crown here in its home domain of Cancer. Yes, this watery realm of feeling is home to the Inner Self.

Today, the Inner Self aligns with the mighty motivation of MARS who is primed and ready to take Action on the task at hand!

The constellation for this area of Cancer is the epic mythical creature HYDRA the celestial sea serpent with too many heads!

The Creative Inner Urge of the personal MOON often expresses out into the sea of experiences in unconscious ways.

Learning the placement of the personal Moon at birth reveals the characteristics and motivations of the Inner Self.

Bringing awareness to the unique design of the Inner Moon and its demiurge for manifesting its deepest desires.

Inner desires are at the forefront, as the Moon & Pluto oversee this area of Cancer. The Sabian picture symbol for this meetup degree:

The longstanding personal identity looks deeply into a personal area where complete unawareness is present.
