Today, the moon reaches apogee, meaning that its orbit has taken it as far from Earth as it travels. At apogee, the moon is further away, and its brightness intensifies, making it a favorable time to tend to flowers. However, this is overruled by the planet Mercury as it crosses the elliptical plane of the Earth and the Sun; today is a descending node, but it also has an ascending node during each orbit it makes around the Sun due to its elliptical path. We can make the most of the warm quality of Leo, as we will soon return to the early qualities of Libra.
