The new moon arrives in the active and charismatic sign of Leo, bringing energy and hope for improved leadership: personally, socially and politically now. The mood is optimistic, social and engaging. It is a time for coming together, organizing, and working toward our highest, collective goals.
Leo energy is all about movement and taking action, especially related to interacting with others. Whether for work or recreation, human beings are social creatures and there are so many ways we grow and thrive when we come together. The time is ideal to share, celebrate, and explore joyful and noble pursuits with kindred souls.
The LEO new moon brings us a boost of fresh energy, which can stimulate fun, creativity, passion, romance, pleasure, and purpose.
Energetically and emotionally, it is the time of the month when most of us have our thoughts and feelings in sync . . and this month is about working on CELEBRATION, managing people, coordinating events, and creating projects we can be PROUD of.
“We are more sociable, and get on better with people by the heart than the intellect.”
Jean de la Bruyère
The moon in Leo brings renewed energy for taking risks and enjoying life. This new energy is dynamic, focused, fiery and determined. Prioritize working toward what brings you excitement and might also inspire others to join along with you.
Leo reminds us that we are strong and capable and it is up to us to realize that truth and step into our leadership. Symbolized by the lion who courageously goes after what is desired, Leo encourages us to take passionate and purposeful action toward whatever we most want in our lives. Remember as you claim your power and pursue your dreams, you will be increasing your vitality as well as your likelihood of ultimate success.
This NEW MOON arrives with some interesting challenges.
The intuitive Moon joins the consciously aware Sun in Leo to set the collective agenda on social matters and human interactions. But first, the Moon has some awkward encounters with critical Saturn, shocking Uranus, and delusional Neptune. Overall, brace yourself for possible issues with authority, control, and power struggles, which are likely stemming from unrealistic, dramatic, or unyielding attitudes.
Come through this period ahead by curtailing your own knee-jerk reactions, letting go of any irritations and resentments, and rolling without getting uptight about other people’s foolish impulses. Your best course of action now is to walk away from conflict by immersing yourself in productive work as well as scheduling some fun down time away from negative situations.
Meanwhile, idea-oriented Mercury (also in jovial and drama-seeking Leo) may instigate dreamy Neptune in sensitive Pisces. With this aspect, watch out for miscommunication, including thoughtless and insensitive comments, which may result in unnecessary irritation and harm. You can best navigate this aspect by staying mindful and kind in your words and deeds. And keep your sense of humor close at hand.
The bright spot is a favorable and harmonious trine between the emotional moon and Chiron in Aries. The good news is that therapeutic modalities can bring fast and strong healing. It is a good time to use active approaches to cure whatever ails you.
Whatever we are working on can come to fruition over the next few weeks when we maintain focus and flexibility. So stay balanced and aware of adjustments that may be needed. The most favorable results now will come when we bring our leadership, enthusiasm, and positive attitude to the process.
“I’m a star player when it comes to being sociable. It’s because I’m inquisitive. When I meet someone for the first time, I want to start up a conversation with them.”
Seungri
New moons are ideal times for envisioning, planning, and initiating whatever we want to create in our lives. Answering timely questions is a great way to enhance and expand your current awareness. For even more clarity and inspiration, record your responses. Writing activates a deeper part of your consciousness. The best practice is to keep a journal, which will also give you something to look back on over time and can reveal even more wisdom and insight about all that you aspire to be.
- How can I better inspire and lift up others now
- What can I do to improve any tendency toward foolish pride or self-centeredness?
- Where can I demonstrate more social leadership, dignity and set a positive example for others to follow?
- What can I do to create more joy now?
- How can I best practice celebrating even small wins?
- How can I bring more radiance and kindness to the world?
Remember life becomes easier when we respect these themes, honor the seasonal cycles, and more fully connect with our highest ideals.
