From Cosmopolitan

The effects of last Thursday’s Solar Eclipse in emotionally-charged Cancer are still leaving us in touch with our feelings. This Tuesday’s Libra Moon motivates us to share our sensitivities with those who need to hear it. Yes, it’ll be vulnerable-but vulnerability is a prerequisite of bravery. So be brave! Speaking of, Leo Season begins on Sunday, and we’ll all be inspired to put our heart-centered strengths on the universe’s grand stage.

Can they handle the Truth, Aquarius? We know you can, so deliver it to others.

Tuesday’s moon expands the desire to be understood and experienced intimately. Allow your sexuality to be a place where you’re safe and understood. If not, point the partner to the door, and push them out. Ready to work? Sunday’s Leo Season puts work, health, exercise, and responsibility at the top of your to-do list.
