You’ll se your destination before you know it. The lunar transit into Scorpio tugs on your heartstrings now, urging us to connect to each other on a deeply emotional level. Our primal instincts are sharply attuned, and flirtatious conversation could take any number of unexpected turns. You’ll be expected to follow through on what you say, so be careful not to get anyone’s hopes up by starting what you can’t finish. Monday’s full moon will bring a wild release of energy. Sensuality will be the theme, with both the sun and moon in signs that emphasize the stimulation of our senses. The moon will shift to Sagittarius Tuesday through Wednesday. Much will be accomplished in regards to taking what the world has to offer. Look for the best jobs, the best deals, and make new friends. There’s very little reason to stay home, because an exciting life awaits! Our most harmonious day is Thursday, when the Capricorn moon positively aspects the Taurus sun, and how we feel about ourselves seems perfectly in line with the roles we choose to play. Neptune traveling retrograde will make us aware of the changes we must make to our plans.

From "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" to "Look Who’s Talking" to "Clueless," it’s obvious her Leo moon ignites a passion to entertain.
