The Planetary Aspects
However, Saturn proves to be difficult at this time as it’s influence can bring disharmony. Mood swings and difficulty expressing emotions may present themselves during this Wolf Moon in Leo. It may also bring up bitter memories from childhood such as issues with finances or moments of failure.
Avoid the fatigue that Saturn may bring and try not to overdo it. Though you may feel determined and full of energy, overexertion will only set you back. Think your steps through clearly and take your time. There is no rush to get everything done.
With Jupiter in conjunction with the moon, as it passes on the far side of the sun, it can bring us even more positive vibrations. The planet is associated with good fortune and prosperity. The energy that it has alongside the full moon could result in strong business decisions and opportunities for acquiring wealth.
Mars, the God of war, also rears its troublesome head as it comes square with the moon. Angry outbursts and emotional turbulence are a common theme as the moon and Mars clash. It also creates an insatiable need to fulfil your desires. There is synergy with this aspect and the influence of Leo. Drive and determination can be felt tenfold during this full moon.
Uranus, famous for the upheaval, disruption and change that it causes, also draws square with the moon. This creates an almost obsessive need for stimulation, independence and a change of scenery. During this full moon, you may react to your environment, triggering compulsive and eccentric behaviour.
