EP 142: New Moon in Leo
Leo Season has arrived. Now, normally this is the time for fun in the sun and a nice cold glass of whatever you like… But this summer feels a little different. There is a heavy, serious, and somber vibe that is palpable.
Last week we had the wounded healer Chiron station to retrograde and the Sun opposite Pluto bringing up a lot of old emotional baggage and pain that maybe you thought you were over. Think again!
The healing process is never over. We are always discovering new layers that are there to help us continue to evolve and grow. Luckily with age, wisdom, and time, the process gets easier (I hope).
With Venus still in Cancer, your feelings may be easily hurt this week as Mercury, Mars, and Jupiter are not holding back! It’s hard not to take things personally, but with Mercury in Leo we are each living in our own little worlds.
You might feel sluggish and keen to spend time alone early in the week, but you’ll get a dose of fire come the weekend.
In fact, the theme for this week is - WAKE UP! Whether it’s the climate crisis or your own personal circumstances, the planets are shaking us to come out of our sleep-walking state.
The New Moon in Leo brings with it a slew of combustible, vulnerable, and passionate energy. It helps you have the courage to make the hard decisions that will pave the way for your destiny.
You might want to blare Katy Perry’s “Roar” as you plant your seeds and set your intentions with this New Moon.
You’ll need the jolt of confidence thanks to Jupiter stationing retrograde. You might be doubting yourself, but there’s no time for navel-gazing.
On Monday, August 1st some of the biggest astrology of the year comes in for a landing.
Mars, Uranus, and the North Node meet, and they’re causing some trouble. When Mars and Uranus join forces we often experience the unexpected in shocking ways. So move carefully, mindfully, and don’t push if you’re feeling tired or overwhelmed.
You may feel pushed around by these planets throughout the week, but just know that they’re helping you move toward your next right step.
