The Leo New Moon August 8th is extra special as it also falls on the Lion’s Gate, a phase each year when our Sun aligns with the star Sirius, bringing a spiritual force that connects consciousness to Higher Dimensions, opening you to spiritual insights and downloads. Tune in.
This New Moon kicks off new starts on all things centered near and dear to your heart. This phase is for stoking your inner fire, your will and your very life essence, and for getting in touch with the things you’re passionate about, those things that fill you with pride and joy. This phase may call on your talents and skills, boldness, leadership ability and follow-through.
Mercury closely connects with the New Moon, while exchanging glances with Neptune in Pisces, blurring the lines a bit as all is not so clear right now. You could have creative projects and plans, while imaginative and perhaps whimsical or glamourous, may still need some fine tuning to get them off the ground. It may be that your plans, questions and conversations bring children’s matters front and center; childcare, school and activities, etc. may be on your mind, while some things seem vague and unclear and may still have to be worked out.
Discussions and exchanges now are lively and entertaining and can even get heated. You can speak from the heart, with authenticity now and go with the flow. Alternatively, there could be misunderstandings, something said, or that you hear, may not feel right to you.
On another level, there’s a fine-tuning of the heart, mind and intuition, so that they’ll work together, and from here on out, life is lived through the heart center. Feel into that space to discern and determine your direction.
Stickler Saturn stares down the New Moon from across the sky in Aquarius, calling for accountability and discipline, structure and scheduling. This influence also insists you give thought on how you spend your time and if it’s well spent on the people and things that you love. Or about how much time you’ve put into a talent, skill or project. It’s possible you could be forming a group, community or an organization that is a hub for a favorite pastime, passion, or project or for kids, creativity and fun. Additionally, Saturn’s influence also points to social rules and restrictions.
Uranus in Taurus also nudges this New Moon, awakening your senses, goading you to act out of character, to take a little risk and get out of your comfort zone. This influence loves the liberty to just be unfettered and free. On another level, this influence stimulates market speculation and fluctuation, changing costs, unexpected expenses, or changes in currencies or the value and worth of currencies. You could also add to your earnings thanks to one of your talents, skills or hobbies.
Chiron in Aries supports the Leo New Moon in opening and healing your heart and making a new start, centering on love. Love is the highest vibration. On another level, heart conditions or illnesses could come to light.
Mars and Hygeia are connected in Virgo signaling that the time is right for healthy pursuits. It’s a good time to get moving- walking, running, biking, hiking or start a new exercise and diet routine or to power up one you already have. This influence also emphasizes jobs in the health sector, healthcare workers, skilled crafts and trades, and service members.
Venus in Virgo faces off with Neptune in Pisces highlighting healing and healers, cures, therapies, toxins and poisons. You could find the right healer or protocol for you during this phase. It’s also a good time to detox and flush out or to problem solve, sort out and systematize your daily routines. On another level, this is about using discernment and scrutinizing your relationships and loved ones, while toning down your expectations or realizing not all that glitters is gold. This influence can also bring creativity and imagination while being able to put the pieces in place to bring a dream alive.
New Moon Blessings and Good Vibes to ALL!
