25 – Let’s Face it Together

On July 21, 2025July 21, 2025 By Ka Malana - Fiestaestrellas.comIn Astrology33 Comments

I shouldn’t rush this one.

There’s a lot about Leo that isn’t captured by popular culture, or by “culture of astrology.” Of course, I am a Leo Sun (haha in my 7th house of others!!) So I will tell you what a Leo is! And you will believe me, of course! (silly!) Silliness is definitely a thing. It’s part of it. A bit of a performer… that too! Guess what else? Can you guess? Yes, yes, playful. Anything else?

If you guessed Shameless, well, no.

Brave.

Brave!

I wrote brave twice– you wanna know why? The first time is with a period. It’s the behind the scenes brave. It’s the actual brave. The show up and be brave behind the ready to be brave. Then there’s the other brave! is the one that looks cheery and courageous, but is probably just the product of this equation:

My LOVE > My Fear = Aligned Action

If you are looking at the truth: there’s no real difference between you and me. We have all the same possibilities and potentialities. Choice is what makes us different, and to a certain extent, circumstances also make us different. We all have different backgrounds, groups, families, environmental pressures, legacies and genes, and even experiences. Please keep reading for the substance…. You are special

This post is not going to be one of those posts that tells you “this is an excellent time for: x, y and z” It’s not even about what the sign Leo means. It’s more about an exploration into the depths of you. This new moon in early Leo at 2 degrees is in opposition to the planet, Pluto (overhaul), in Aquarius (each and every one). It’s in trine to Uranus (innovation) in Gemini (the mind). There’s a lot of pressure right now to find ways to survive. What are we surviving? We are surviving difficult living conditions that still manage to mostly look like the luxuries of modern life. However, underneath it all is the existential tension of not knowing the future, not having a stable sense of the cost of goods, not knowing how the slashing and burning and bridge dismantling of our institutions is going to affect America and the entire world. It’s already affecting America. What’s worse is the backdrop of environmental degradation and decline. The climate is changing so quickly that the *very* systems designed to protect us with early warning signals and organized response teams, even research around these pertinent topics: FEMA, EPA, and more, are being dismantled completely. How will we even know the true impact of what is going on until the years past when we are long and gone? This is not an easy landscape my friends! This is not an easy life. Yes, meanwhile, we have positivity consciousness telling us to “be grateful” and how each one of us can just “put our minds to it” and “have the life of our dreams.”

What is true?

Well, that is a moving target. So that sense for the scammers hunting us every day and the people who want to steal from our trust– well, are they creating a culture of distrust? I would say, “yes.” Now, I’m not laying all this out so that we all come together and agree to just give up. But there is a lot of war going on (in our hearts and on Earth, across nations) and very, very shady, nefarious characters are acting freely from their place of power. So, I must ask you, I must beg you to keep going. Keep finding the reason to LOVE. Keep finding the reason to TRUST. Keep finding the ways to soften your heart–while getting increasingly smart to the real danger that lurks for us. This is a life of survival for ourselves and our families. The values we have fought for need to stay intact. We do not sacrifice our freedoms for anything other than a higher vision. That higher vision must come from our hearts. It must come from the most courageous part within us. It’s the anchor that links us to the very air we breathe. The heart and lungs work in tandem, you know. So be the voice, be the hope. Be the authentic gift of your own life– and give to give. Love to love. You are not alone. I am not alone.

I’m just gonna do the same, okay?

I started a youtube channel and I talk about authenticity. Spoiler: I didn’t come to any conclusions. Go ahead and take a look; feel free to tell me what you think! Thank you 🙂 Do you like the silly poses I get caught in? What are your thoughts on the topics I introduced? Oh, and apparently you have to tell everyone to “like and subscribe” so if you noticed that in everyone else’s youtubes–that’s why I’m doing the same thing. 🙂

i could

summon you,

but you are already here

you’ve been in my shadow

clinging to my insides

waiting for my consciousness

to ripen

waiting for my signal to open up

our shared eye

with you,

all our ancient promises arise

like shoots of green tendrils

ready to break through the land

and renew our promises

for a new

peace

Defining new rituals together

This piece, I just finished it. I see two different beings who are standing back to back with the landscapes within each of them unique and enchanting. They are complementary figures. The smaller (perhaps younger) head on the right has more of horizontal landscape inside. The one on the left (the elder) has vertical lines of energy, suggesting that the inner landscape is even more inward and downward facing/within. One could even suggest that this figure is facing the past (left) and the figure on the right is facing the future, the East—what is new on the horizon. They both share a central golden beam. It supports them. The swirls guide the eyes off of the image and into the beyond, so the movement just flows. Green provides this on-going, penetrating fertility.

As we move closer to the Full Moon in Virgo, with a very strong Piscean chart (Sun, Saturn, Mercury, Neptune) all in Pisces opposes the Full Moon in Virgo.

The 3 planets (Stellium) in Aquarius are Pluto, Mars/Venus are squaring Uranus and Jupiter in Taurus.

That’s where the chart might demonstrate some need to actively balance the energies. However upon closer inspection there are natural harmonies with the trine aspects of the Pisces Sun/Saturn to the Taurusian placed planets of Jupiter and Uranus which are also in loose trine aspect to the Virgo Moon.

There is opportunity for the values and needs to be balanced spiritually through the habits and rituals of the Virgo moon. That is, this —and arguably all Virgo Full Moons—offer more awareness of health and service as it relates to the Spiritual goals, bonded with the material goals. It is time to unify and make more ‘realized’ the material relationship we have with spirituality. It’s simply not just ethereal, elusive Piscean experiences. How we engage with the real world, the Earth signs, greatly influences what we manifest. Use your solar discipline to ground with your ideals so you are living as a demonstration of your highest values and not the ones imposed on you by the pressures of the culture and society. Make your dreams real by developing rituals and habits which demonstrate with regularity your spiritual commitment.

Finally, this North Node transit with Chiron in Aries (Ruler of 1st house of identity), gives us a bit of meditation, for the willing, on how self-identity has been both wounded/healed.

My family has been and will be adding more meditation to our daily routine as a shared activity. How will you intentionally share your dreams/Spirituality (Pisces) with your community (Aquarius), in a practiced way (Taurus) with service/dedication (Virgo)?
