New Moon 26 degrees and 35 minutes in Leo, on the 19.08.2020 at 12:41pm AEST
Welcome precious readers, I do greet you with a grateful heart. Also, I would like to thank all of the new subscribers for coming on board this train that will hopefully elevate all of us towards higher consciousness. Just a friendly reminder that I write these articles from my experience and level of understanding, as it is now.
Happy Birthday Leo! May your special day be filled with sunshine, as bright as our Sun and may you do what you truly love. For some of you this maybe going to the theatre and watching a live performance. For others it could actually be acting in the life show.
Ladies and Gents we have a New Moon in Leo. At any New Moon the Sun and Moon share the same sign, degree and minutes in what is called a conjunction in astrology. A conjunction ranges anywhere from being exact (0 to 8) degree separation in the amount of degrees.
At a New Moon this exact pairing of the Sun and Moon is what provides that foundation filled with pure, rich and fertile soil that is ready for planting. This time we have the Sun and Moon both in the sign of Leo. This fertile soil allows each and every human being to plant their chosen new seeds of intention. This then stimulates creation with the possibility of totally brand new ways of expression.
Nurturing these new ways can at times be scary and can require courage. We have the wonderful creativity of the Leo on our side assisting us on our inspired and bold undertakings.
Leo is ruled by the Sun and its archetype is the Lion-Heart. Therefore, we are fully supported in creating these Leo characteristics with their leadership skills driven by the heart.
Our world is changing very rapidly at the moment and the more that we can connect to our heart-centre the easier it will be to enable us to take that courage driven action and feel energised and alive, as a result. This outcome can only be reached through taking action.
Our planet Mars (24 degrees Aries) is making a trine aspect to this New Moon, which further supports this bold and brave action. A trine represents an easy flow of energy filled with spontaneity and creativity, as it relates to the sign of Leo. Mars will be helping this New Moon initiate assertive and loving action with confidence, if we consciously focus on creating love.
We can examine and possibly ask ourselves: What do I love doing that fills my heart with joy? Then follow up on the impulse that we receive and that excites our being.
Although this next planetary activation is not being directly stimulated by this New Moon in Leo. It may serve you to know that there is also a more intense form of Mars being activated at the moment aspecting the planet Pluto (23 degrees Capricorn). Transiting planet Mars is squaring Pluto. The planet Mars is in his own ruling sign of Aries and Pluto is in the sign of Capricorn. What could this mean for us on a global level?
A square is a hard aspect and can create enormous stress and discord. The planet Mars in Aries can ignite a war like fiery desire of wanting to go into battle with others around us or ourselves. On a collective level it would serve us to think first before taking any impulsive action.
Also, for those who have suppressed Mars/Aries energy, become aware of possibly painful headaches, feeling angry and agitated. This suppressed anger could attract road rage whilst driving on the roads. Please know that whatever we attract is our own responsibility and we usually unconsciously draw the situation or pain to us for our own healing and evolution, no matter what it feels like. However, Leo requires acknowledgment and giving our hearts permission to open deeply to feel love.
Now is a perfect time to take the action of letting go of whatever, no longer fills our heart with joy. Therefore, allowing space to surround ourselves with only beautiful and bright colourful energy of the Sun. Supporting our own deep healing, maturely taking responsibility for everything in our lives through using the Leo energy to cultivate self-love.
The planet Mercury is conjunct, meaning it is sitting very closely next to our Sun and Moon duo. Mercury is also in the sign of Leo. The planet Mercury rules the rational mind and our thinking patterns. At this New Moon we can very easily become aware of our thought patterns and observe what they are creating.
Essentially, Mercury is there to accentuate the Leo energy by giving the human mind an opportunity to think (Mercury) and develop loving (Leo) thoughts towards ourselves and others. Becoming aware of our whole reality, how we feel and what we do and what we attract is created by our thinking mind.
In fact the whole creation of life has been thought created. How crazy is that? This point can be very challenging to acknowledge and accept, as once we do accept it, then it requires our action to change the thoughts that don’t make us feel good. Yes thoughts are this powerful!
The sign of Leo in its highest expression rules Unconditional Love. This Love is not driven by the human ego or personality like the Leo lower self does. This Leo knows, loves and accepts self without the need to be seen or recognised. This Leo is also humble and lovingly allows others to take the centre-stage. At the same time this Leo will allow being acknowledged again humbly without any expectation, rather with a full-hearted appreciation.
This is a beautiful manifestation of the sign of Leo to grow and cultivate, if we choose this pathway.
On the other hand the more that the sign of Leo seeks external attention and recognition, is an exact representation of possibly the lack of nurturing that it did not receive as a child. Then this Leo can come across as childish simply because this Leo did not feel supported and loved as a child.
This Leo would really benefit from generating self-love. It is possible that this wounded Leo may not know how to give this love to the child within. This could be due to the wounded feelings being so deeply hidden that and this Leo may not even know that they can heal. Connecting to the deep wounds may feel too painful to access. In this case there usually are fundamental feelings of undeserving of love.
The functional Leo loves to have child-like fun and it would be very helpful for the adult Leo to learn to give the inner-child playful fun that it loves doing. This will in turn fuel the Leo heart with joy when practiced regularly. Where is your Leo in your birth chart? This will indicate the area of life your Leo can create your own highest expression of love for yourself.
The individuals that have the four fixed signs of Leo/Aquarius and Taurus/Scorpio in their birth charts ranging anywhere from 22 to 29 degrees will feel this New Moon in Leo more than others.
Again, the invitation is, to please print your birth charts and physically place this New Moon in Leo, as then this will help you see if it sits on any points or angles (especially the Ascendant/Descendant and Midheaven/Imum Coeli/Lower Heaven) in your birth chart and/or if it makes any significant aspects. It is my experience that we can miss things if we simply look at our charts without actually placing the sign and the degrees of the Moon placement on a printed copy of our charts.
I hope that this serves you.
