Leo New Moon ♥

We have a New Moon this Friday 29th of July falling in the fire sign of Leo. With both the Sun and Moon in Leo all things associated with the Leo the Lion will be amplified.

When the Sun and Moon link up in the same sign it marks the beginning of a new Lunar cycle for the Moon and represents the formation of a new venture in the birth charts of all of us.

So even if we don’t have any planets in the sign the Leo New Moon’s taking place in, it still brings forth a time where we are being called to embark on something new.

Taking place in Leo this time around, these new beginnings are all about identity and sense of self. Now is the time to incorporate new ways of honoring our most authentic expression into our lives unapologetically.

Since Leo is the sign ruled by the Sun, there can often be a desire to be seen or acknowledged by others, but the Leo New Moon is less about validation from others and more about how we authenticate ourselves, regardless of who’s watching.

If you can, look at the house in your birth chart Leo governs over. This is where you can expect some new beginnings to be brought forth surrounding self-expression, acknowledgement, and authority.

There is s softness to the Leo New Moon that will feel like quite a relief. Leo rules the heart, loves to play and be creative. As one of  the sweetest New Moons we have experienced in a while. It carries the vibration of abundance, joy, and creativity. It is a beautiful New Moon for checking in with the flow of our lives and if we are where we want to be.

Some days, life tends to pass in a blur. We get caught up in the rush and swept up in the flow of our past actions and beliefs. But the Leo New Moon is a good time to pause and consider the direction of our lives.

Are we moving in a direction that feels good? Are we taking actions each day that fill us with joy and inspiration, or are we living merely out of habit?

Whatever awakenings we may have around these questions, the Leo New Moon will be on our side, supporting us through any changes we wish to make or any new ideas, habits, or ventures we wish to try.

We can also use the symbolism of the Leo Lion to help guide our direction. Leo the Lion shares the message that we can be proud, confident, and fierce in who we are.

When we shed the superficial, when we shed the burdens, when we shed the things that block us from being our true selves, we are able to truly shine.

Venus and Black Moon Lilith are traveling closely together at the time of this New Moon, further amplifying this need to be our true authentic selves, especially when it comes to embracing more of our feminine qualities, which live within us all.

But, the most active planet under this Leo New Moon is Jupiter. Jupiter is the planet of abundance and expansion. Coupled with the energy of the Leo New Moon, it will guide us to bring more of our heart energy into the world. The world definitely needs more heart energy right now, and this New Moon offers all of us that gift.

Moments after this New Moon, Jupiter also stations retrograde, making its energy doubly strong and more influential.

In astrology, Jupiter is known for bringing optimism and allowing us to see the silver lining, so if there is something challenging going on in your life, use this New Moon to help see a more positive or hopeful side to things.

While the Leo New Moon brings waves of harmonious energy into our being, there is another force that is humming along in the background, which may bring some unsettling energies into our world.

This unsettling energy comes from the Uranus North Node Conjunction. As nice as this Leo New Moon is, we may not be able to escape some of the upheaval that is destined to unfold from this powerful conjunction.

The Uranus North Node conjunction is about raising our collective destiny. The things that we once relied on may not feel so reliable anymore. Our values and the things we depend on as a society is changing. But all of this is in an effort to escalate our collective consciousness and to move us to a higher timeline of our destiny.

A certain amount of chaos is inevitable on this journey, and we may see some of that triggered around the Leo New Moon. But we all must remember that the Leo New Moon offers us a beginning to a beautiful authentic way of being, a beacon of light.

So if we feel or world is a little rocky, or unsettling energies are whirring around, remember to look for and know that the beacon of light is pulsing outwards and getting stronger.

Love and Blessings

88 Leo New Moon ♥

On Sunday the 8th of August we have a New Moon falling in the fire sign of Leo, this day is also the peak of the 88 Lionsgate portal. This amplifies both the energy of the New Moon & the 88 Lionsgate, it is quite a magical day & uncommon for these two events to happen simultaneously.

New Moons always represent the beginning of a brand new cycle. The Moon has been gradually disappearing from our sight, and from now on she will start growing again, showing a little more of herself each night.

The days before the New Moon, also known as the Dark or Balsamic phase, are days of healing and rest, of introspection and reflection. 

The Sun and the Moon join forces in Leo, inviting us to celebrate our individuality, our passions, and our need to be seen and appreciated. The message of this New Moon is that we are safe to be ourselves and to explore the desires of our hearts. She inspires us to develop unshakable self-confidence and faith in who we are and encourages us to share our true and authentic self with the world without fear of being judged.

The New Moon in Leo reminds us not to be afraid to dream big. She inspires us to define a vision that inspires and motivates us, to believe in it, and in our power to manifest it. Sun and Moon in the sign of the Lion invite us to visualize a bright future for ourselves and our loved ones despite the hard and uncertain times we are living in.

Leo is a fierce Fire archetype, corresponding to our upper back, heart, and solar plexus. Its energy is Yang or masculine: this means that when we have a cosmic event happening here, its effects are mostly directed outwards. During this New Moon, we naturally tend to express the qualities of Leo outwardly, we show their expression to the world around us.

Leo inspires us to let go of any shyness and self-consciousness. The archetype of the Lion invites us to be bold and unapologetic, to take the space we deserve, reminding us that we all have the right to shine and be seen.

This New Moon is a strong call for honoring our personal path and letting go of the need to measure up to someone else’s standards. Success has a different meaning for everybody. This celestial event invites us to make choices that reflect our souls’ purpose and to hold on to our vision even if other people don’t support it.

 The Leo New Moon shakes up our desire for change. The Moon will square Uranus in Taurus, stirring our desire to express the truth in our hearts no matter what the consequences may be. This lunation signifies a boost of passion and courage, and creative urges could run high.

The Uranus aspect to the New Moon is a challenging one and can bring sudden and unexpected change, instability, chaos, and revolution. An unsettling feeling of impending change can make us feel excited but also restless, anxious, and nervous. This, in turn, can lead to abruptness, unreliability, impulsiveness, rebelliousness, unpredictable behavior & rapid changes in direction.

This New Moon aspect can amplify ego and pride. We may feel a strong urge to express our true inner self without restriction. But willfulness and arrogance could easily lead to ego conflicts, especially if one takes on superiors.

This is not a good time for impulsive changes, but we may have to react to change. And the best way to do this is with flexibility, creativity, and inventiveness. Avoid stubbornly sticking to routines if the universe is sending messages that you need to change. Open-mindedness and higher self-awareness can lead to a brave new path with exciting possibilities and opportunities.

New Moons are always a power time for intention setting, but this is even more so when the New Moon falls in the highly creative sign of Leo and alongside the Lionsgate Portal.

This is a time to think about what we wish to create in life, allow this creation to come straight from your heart, and then put it out there into the world so it can be manifested into your reality.

While this Lionsgate New Moon is a magical time for setting intentions, it is also a time of connecting with your Higher Self.

In many ways, moving beyond intention setting and focusing on connecting and merging with your Higher Self can be far more powerful.

Consciously connecting with Higher Self allows us to reach a new place of freedom and power. Instead of wanting or grasping for things, or telling the Universe our wish list, we need to be open and accepting of whatever flows our way, and in a state of complete trust that all is unfolding for our highest good.

Working from this state allows us to work in harmony with the Universe and the journey of our soul. By working from this place, we also tend to find that what we manifest is always automatically aligned with exactly what we need.

Jumping back to the Uranus aspect we are reminded again that Uranus is the planet of awakening and change. It can shake things up and turn things on their head, so we are forced to see them in a new way.

As Uranus is very active under this New Moon, we may receive some information that changes what we once knew, or we could find ourselves feeling scattered or uncertain about something that we once felt very certain about.

Uranus likes to bring the element of surprise, so it is not always possible to predict what will unfold. The only thing to keep in mind is that Uranus shakes things in order to awaken us.

It is through shaking up our reality that we can see things in a new light, perceive things from a new vantage point, and experience growth.

Uncertainty is a part of life, and even though it is uncomfortable, it can be a powerful teacher in learning how to detach, stay in the present moment, and open to our full potential. As the saying goes – when nothing is certain, anything is possible.

As the planet of awakening, Uranus is also connected to third eye openings and the rising of our consciousness.

This gift that Uranus brings may be more noticeable under this New Moon, thanks to the Lionsgate Portal and the other high-frequency energies that are stirring at this time.

Our intuition is very strong under these influences, listen, be open and tap in.

This energy should also make the veil between dimensions thin, making it easier for our loved ones, and angels or spirit guides to make contact with us.

The Leo New Moon is definitely a special one for so many reasons. As it activates the lion-energy within us, it is also the perfect time to find our inner confidence, to push our boundaries, and to feel the limitless potential of our being.

This Leo New Moon is not about playing small or retreating back to what is comfortable. It is about bravely standing in our true, authentic power. It is about owning all of who we are, being proud of where we have come from, and confident in our journey of what lies ahead.

Leo energy is very heart-centered and heart-driven. Staying heart focused and out of ego, we can all work with this beautiful energy from that place of Love.

Love & Blessings ♥♥♥
