One of the primary reasons we follow astrology is to understand the question, “Who am I?” Tonight’s Full Moon in Leo is suggesting that it’s okay not to be so certain about that.

There’s also the idea in the chart that we might try to overcompensate by clinging to some certainty that may have worked in the past, or defining ourselves by a very narrow concept of identity. You could say this is the opposite of enlightenment. On one side of the Full Moon (which is an opposition, or polarized situation) we have the Moon in Leo conjunct this weird point called Transpluto. Leo Moon = self concept and Transpluto = over-focus. That would translate approximately to, “I’m a plumber, I’m a plumber, I’m a plumber, I’m such a dedicated plumber, I’m a plumber, oh I’m a dad and I like Pink Floyd. I’m such a plumber.”
The other side of the Full Moon is the Sun conjunct Neptune. The Sun has a connection to Leo/Meo (as the ruler of that sign), and conjunct Neptune it’s lost in a fog. The Leo sense of Me can evaporate when it gets around Neptune. Sun conjunct Neptune is saying, “I was a plumber yesterday. I dreamed of being a plumber last night. I like plumbing. Plumbing is so interesting. All these pipes lead to God. God is water. Water is everywhere. I feel so meaningless and alone. Who am I? Oh, I’m a plumber. I better get to work.”
This is compensated by the Leo Moon conjunct Transpluto, which then says, “I’m the best fuckin’ plumber in this city. I’m such a plumber. Wanted to be one as a kid.” And so on. Note, this is a kind of false dialog. It’s not really a conversation that goes anywhere or gets any information onto the floor. Fortunately there is a new influence in the picture, that will help a lot with clearing fog: Chiron in Pisces. This little planet, discovered spinning around our Sun in 1977 (it started a revolution, but that’s another topic) is opposite the Full Moon. It’s right in the mix.
