Valentine's Day & The Path of Lust | Moon in Leo
Sidereal Astrology
The Moon will be in Leo for Valentine's Day, aligning with Lust. Leo rules passion, but Lust (Strength) isn’t just about sex. It’s about self-actualization. Sexual energy is the source of life and spiritual transformation, but how we engage with it determines whether we evolve or stay trapped in cycles of seeking external validation1.
Many people spend their lives chasing sexual fulfillment but without feeling truly satisfied, constantly wanting more but never feeling whole. On the other hand, that same sexual energy can be channeled into self-mastery and self-actualization, ironically making one more magnetic, desirable, and in control of their own experience.
The Moon’s Aspects: A Reflection on Desire
The Moon will oppose Saturn – exposing where we feel restricted, unsatisfied, or limited. This can show up as expecting others to meet our emotional and sexual needs while avoiding the real work of meeting ourselves.
The Moon will sextile Mars – fueling our drive, passion, and inner fire. At a higher level, this is the moment to harness personal power and transform frustration into motivation.
At the lower level of this transit, emotions and desires can feel endless, unfulfilled, and frustrating. People may project their dissatisfaction onto their partners, feeling like “they’re not doing enough” or “they should do more” rather than using that energy to become the version of themselves that doesn’t need external validation.
At the higher level, the focus shifts inward. Instead of needing support, you become the support for others and yourself. You step into your authority. Saturn in Aquarius reminds us that true mastery isn’t about taking but giving from a place of wholeness.
Leo, Teth & Kundalini Activation
The letter Teth (ט) is connected to Leo, the Lust card, and the concept of the coiled serpent (Kundalini). Teth represents hidden power, raw potential, and the force within that must be awakened.
Teth is the 9th letter, and this is a 9-year (2025), amplifying its transformative energy.
2025 is also the Lunar Year of the Snake, reinforcing inner growth and spiritual awakening themes.
This is a pivotal time for self-transformation. Instead of getting caught up in external frustrations, emotional expectations, or relationship struggles, this moment invites you to turn inward and rise.
Embodying the Higher Moon in Leo
We stand at a crossroads every moment between lower instinctual nature and higher spiritual self-awareness. The question is: Are you using your energy to grow, or are you wasting it on resentment and disappointment?
You can be mad about what someone else isn’t doing, or you can embrace self-love and use this time to activate who you are.
Mastering Lust is about harnessing your desires rather than being controlled by them. The more you focus on becoming, the less you need to chase.
This Valentine’s Day, choose yourself. Choose transformation. Choose mastery.
