New Moons are a time of starting over, new beginnings, taking action steps towards your dreams and goals, creating and renewal!
This New Moon is connected to the Sun in Leo. Leo is about Confidence, Creativity, Expression, Love & Romance, Heart-Centered Living, Playfulness, Royalty, Luxury, Strength, Respect, Courage, Generosity, Enthusiasm, and Leadership. This energy can also bring about Arrogance, Flamboyance, Self-Centered Desires, Intolerance, Self-Righteousness, Flashiness, and Bossiness.
This New Moon in Leo is conjunct the Sun and trine Saturn. This helps to bring a sense of grounding and reality to what you want to create and bring into expression. This also helps to bring follow through to any creative projects you want to complete and common sense to any relationships that need mending. It allows you to align your work, purpose, goals, and career with what is in your heart.
Have you been listening to your heart?
Are you allowing your light to radiate out your individual expression and illuminate the path for others?
Have you been leading with confidence or lacking self-esteem?
Could you take more risks in love and creativity?
It’s time to be more playful and have some fun! With Venus trine Uranus you’re in the mood for a little excitement and taking some big new risks! Whether or not you allow yourself to go on new adventures or you hold yourself back, stuck in the past, or caught up in self-doubt or guilt, it’s really up to you.
This New Moon supports you in coming out of your shell and into the light. Celebrate, vacation, socialize, and let your passion loose! Romance is in the air and with Venus Square Mars you are likely feeling extra frisky, seductive and playful. Love encounters are intense now and whether they be new or old there is passion. Whether this plays out as built up sexual frustration, hidden tension and causes arguments, expectations, and demands OR it plays out as passionate encounters and a lot of love energy being expressed depends totally on your relationship.
Mercury squaring Mars does add to irritations and arguments. If you are challenged you are ready for a fight. You can stand up for yourself and anything you believe in with ease now. Just make sure you’re not being overly dramatic just to put on a show.
You have something you are meant to share with the world. Something near and dear to your heart that lights you up every time you think of it. Take a risk and express your heart, your passion, your love, your creativity! Be BOLD. With Uranus retrograde through the end of 2016 revolutionary change is provoked from the inside out. Uranus is the planet of rebellion, sudden and unexpected change, liberation, and revolution.
If you have been settling or giving into the status quo, shying away from your truth, and denying your progress Uranus will SHAKE you AWAKE now. This retrograde shoves you in front of the mirror and drags you out of your comfort zone. No more hiding. No more denial. No more turning a blind eye. No more settling. A flash of insight, a bolt of lightning, an electric zing to your ‘system’. Get ready to adapt to a new normal. Use this Leo New Moon and Leo season to celebrate the joys of renewal. Dance in the mystery of the unknown. Revel in the risks and adventures. Play in the sunlight of a new day.
Affirmation:
“I easily allow the radiance of my inner being to shine openly.“
