Now in the season of the majestic Lion, whose regal presence and mighty roar rivets our attention, the Sun and Moon perfectly align in the sign of Leo, signaling a time of bold new beginnings. Charged with an abundance of enthusiasm this New Moon lunar phase puts a fire under our desire to shine. To bring what is within us out into the open, expressing ourselves with heart, soul and maybe even some humor!
Ruled by the Sun, Leo is fixed fire, charismatic, creative, dramatic and playful. With a generous heart, vitality and natural leadership abilities, Leo’s high vibration and evolutionary goal is sincere and natural self-expression.
Jupiter in Aries in a trine with the New Moon adds fiery optimism that can open doors of opportunity as well as motivate us to take a chance on ourselves, our dreams and future goals. However, be aware that Leo’s shadow of egotistical or pretentious behavior can more easily occur under Jupiter’s expansive influence.
It’s important to note that within two hours after the New Moon alignment, Jupiter in Aries will station retrograde where circumstances or events may come to a head as the energy of Jupiter begins to retrace it’s recent forward movement.
In the Cosmic background a powerful conjunction of Mars, the North Node and Uranus all in Taurus occurs. The North Node and Uranus are exact, indicating some level of personal and collective changes. These sometimes sudden shifts concern security, resources and personal connections as we strive to evolve authentically. Mars close by adds the courage and drive to take action which will gain power and volatility when Mars moves closer and all three are exact on July 31st through August 1st.
Disruptive and unsettling changes have been happening for a couple of years and as they continue it’s important to ride out these changes with as much calm and mindful attention that stabilizes your continued efforts for personal growth and overall wellbeing.
There is something within you that needs to be revealed and this is the time to look deep within your heart and recognize and appreciate your own uniqueness. Who you are and what you have to give is needed by others.
During this New Moon in Leo think big when considering what you want to set in motion until the next New Moon phase. Open your heart and mind to new sources and expressions of joy and creativity and use your voice to tell your story that connects, inspires and heals. Trust that what you have within yourself will reach the right people, if you risk vulnerability, courageously show up and shine your light in the way that truly matters to you; that makes you feel vital and alive!
