ASTRO: NEW MOON LEO
16 AUGUST 2023 @10:38 GMT
All Hail & Welcome to Astro: New Micro Moon Leo. We have reached a potent time of our turning wheel, in which harvest time is truly upon us. Lammas & the beginnings of August placed us firmly into a time where the bough is heavily laden with fruits of the Mother Earth, who revels in the glory of her fecundity & in the full potency of the Sun. The Sun is now in recession, but only just, & this month it is still a potent force of effect. The trees are showing signs of turning as we rotate our way through the seasonal changes which, if we are in tune to them, will affect our lives also. Our seeds are coming to fruit & what was sown earlier in the year will now be ripening for the harvest. ‘You reap what you sow’ is always on my mind at this time of year . Now is the time to learn from mistakes or that which failed to work out for us & to share the knowledge of what we have gleaned from our hard work and service.
Our beautiful celestial conduit will be entering its dark & new phase over the next week. The balsamic/ dark moon phase has an astonishing energy of its own. As in wintertime, mother nature retreats to her cavern to embark on inner workings & journeying, so does the moon have a rest period, as do we, And so it is! This is the phase of the crone & a time of transition & wisdom in the darkness of our cavern wombspace. A time of thinking & practice, utilising our intuition & farseeing abilities.
As we transition to new moon & that beautiful silver slither in the sky, we become more aware of that which we wish to see to fruition, that which we have been given a vision of, our beckoning destined path to journey. This is a good time for preparation, initiating ideas or preparing improved plans to move forward with. New moon is the end of one lunar cycle & the beginning of a new 28 day cycling.
In this cavern-space, we have discovered our personal truths & now in newness, it is time to act on this knowledge, feeling, intuitive blast! We may be feeling the blasts of intuition & vivid dreams more intensely with new moon Leo
Leo moon is a highly creative & extremely powerful moon. This is a good time for all things Leo such as improving our relationships with our lovers, our hobbies, relationships with children, creative ventures & building our self confidence. It is time for us to give ourselves a pat on the back for all our hard work, by taking some pride in ourselves. Learning our lessons & moving on with love in our hearts is also on the cards. Leo is a heartspace sign, so has a huge amount of love to give, but Leo can also be offended easily. Its a good idea to stay away from ego centred anything at this time. As we are on a regal journeying with the zodiac’s drama queen, it is perhaps a good idea to keep our own ego in check. Leo is all about the self, ‘me’ whilst amplifying ego & pride. We may find an overpowering urge to express ourselves without restriction, so watch for this dominant energy in group settings as it serves only the one & not the mass. Think before you let loose the Queen! Leo has fabulous energies to work with & as always a facet which is not so great, so its always good to find the balance which shouldn’t be so hard with Sun & Moon together in Leo. The positives are courage, kindness, generosity, loyalty, protection, no bars honesty! Entertainment, passion, romance, expression & playfulness are all Leo aspects we can & should revel in. However, its always good to be on the lookout for the negative traits, so as to find the balance needed for a smoother journeying. Leo can be arrogant, wasteful, cold hearted, jealous, dramatic, proud, sloppy & aggressive. So if you recognise these aspects in a situation, know that the balance needs to be found or a bumpy journey will lie ahead. Find the Leo confidence & happiness & you will love Leo season even more!
In this Leo New Moon instance, we are being encouraged to use Leo energy to connect to inner courage, higher self aspects & power up our intentions to create a better life for ourselves by taking accountability & responsibilities seriously. Leo energy encourages us to step up into leadership mode. In this case a good idea to retake control of what’s happening in our personal arena’s.
Ask:
What kind of life do I wish to create for myself in which I thrive?
In which life area do I need to concentrate , in order for my life to thrive?
What has not worked out & needs release?
Sit with these questions & allow your heart to answer. Now is the time to throw it out to the universe for manifestation.
In addition we have the Lionsgate portal peaking on 8 August. Whilst this is a fairly new phenomenon, it is associated with ancient astrology, numerology & cosmology. It occurs when the star Sirius otherwise known as our spiritual Sun, The Earth & Our Moon are aligned in the sky along with the constellation of Orion. As the both luminaries are in Leo, our Sun also plays a magnificent part in shining its light through this Leo alignment by illuminating areas in which we are wishing to manifest. This is the most potent portal of manifestation each year & is well worth putting in the effort to the areas in which we wish to thrive, leave old habits behind & succeed. We can expand our spiritual consciousness by receiving high frequency downloads which ignite remembrance of our exponential power & potential. This is a very highly energetic time for us physically & spiritually & can help us end the karmic circles we traverse.
Planetary influences
New Moon Square (hard aspect) Uranus the zodiac revolutionary - expect surprises, rebellion, changes.
New Moon Square Jupiter of expansion - expect expansion on all that we concentrate our energies on.
Both Jupiter & Uranus are in earthy, steady Taurus, so we can expect whatever presents itself to us to present us with consistency.
New Moon Trine ( harmonises) North Node - highlighted areas of neglect will need attention
New Moon Semi sextile (30° difficulty) Mercury of communication - May find difficulty in communicating with others or they may act in a way that is upsetting.
There is an element of leadership & thriving. There is also the potential for surprises & communications which may have the ability to upset. Take Leo’s lesson & saturate every situation or conversation in love before you embark. Connect to heartspace & speak from a place of love. Nothing has the power to overthrow love energy as it is pure magick!
We have come to the end of our journeying through the cosmic flow of New Moon Leo. Thank you for accompanying me. Please join me again on or around 31 August 2023 for our 2nd Astro: Full Moon article of August. This Moon is also known as Blue Moon in Pisces as this is the 2nd Full moon in one month.
In gratitude, love, light & all betwixt
