NEW MOON IN LEO:
The New Moon falls on Thursday July 28th at 1:55 P.M. EDT at 5 degrees Leo 39 minutes. There’s something so charming and seductive about Leo energy. It’s playful, less emotional than Cancer, and yes, a bit stubborn. Leo rules the 5th house of creativity, romance, children and games. And this sign does love to express itself, sometimes in a rather dramatic, over-the-top fashion. Leo does rule acting and the stage, after all. And this will be a month when we will all wish to show our creative and theatrical side. With the Sun & Mercury in this sign at the moment, and Jupiter in supportive fire sign, Aries, there will be a lot of dynamism and vigor in our day-to-day actions. Be creative and expressive. Don’t be afraid to step out on stage. The world needs performers, and now we can all take our turn. As Bill S. once said: ”All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players…” Show us what you can do.
Because this sign and the 5th house also rules children and child-like activities, this is a time for playing and letting that inner child out. Those who follow my writings know that I am a summer baby in all ways. I was born in July, but more than that, I consider this the best and most exciting season. Not everyone agrees with me, which is fine. It leaves more free hotel rooms and space on the beach for my blanket, as those who prefer winter await their time. But it is the creativity in August that Leos engage in that stimulates me more than anything. I love actors, musicians, film makers etc. So let’s dance the dance of life and creation, and stir up the air with that explosive need to be expressive and outgoing. It will be autumn soon enough and then the long dreary winter. This is a chance to frolic in the sunshine. Make the most of it.
Mercury will be in square to Uranus, and Jupiter retrogrades today as well. There is a lot of energy in the air, and staying alert is paramount. This is a new beginning, as all New Moons are, and the aspects that accompany a New Moon set the atmosphere for the coming weeks. Jupiter is turning around, and that implies some important changes coming to us personally and collectively. Mercury in square to Uranus shows the potential for sudden, erratic and unexpected communications and actions. Stay alert, be vigilant, and think before your act. But use all of this to push your agenda forward and to start a new cycle. You can accomplish so much when this many transits complete over a few hours.
