The New Moon in Leo at 16 degrees
On August 8, 2021 at 9:51 AM EDST
The New Moon in Leo marks a breathing space. A point in time to bask in the light. To sense the warmth. To be encouraged by glimmers of inspiration. To ignite the flames of creative self expression. To be the source of energy that insures moving forward through what seems to be the growing pains of our evolution. It sure does appear to be a strong component of this amazing era that we are living through.
The Sun/Moon Leo conjunction heralds in a new cycle. A new beginning. There is a softening of stress and tension since Leo embodies the energy of re-creation. To frolic, play and amuse. Amuse being the operative word here.
Leo imbues our experience with fascinating enticements. Captivating our desires towards taking chances on whims and ideas. Ventures, whose sole purpose is to bring delight and/or even applause whenever possible. There is nothing like the hot Sun influence of Leo to warm and bring the light of love to the cool and intellectual Aquarian. Aquarius being the shaping principle that is influencing the energy we are traveling through now.
It’s an invitation to enjoy the spirit of the Summer. To play as a way of experiencing the heart and soul of your life. To move forward in courage and strength towards meaningful goals.
The Sun/Moon conjunction is a cycle that happens every month. It’s what defines this moment as a new beginning. It’s the New Moon which begins the waxing cycle. The waxing cycle leads to the culminating Full Moon. The Full Moon flows into the waning Moon cycle. The waning moon cycle marks a period of inner reflection. An opportunity to ponder goals and tasks accomplished or not. The Waning Moon affords us a valuable resting place. It’s the ebbing of the Waning Moon that turns the cycle once again towards the New Moon. It’s the Waxing Moon that then offers us an opportunity to set a new intention. Which is where we are now.
This New Moon in Leo is influenced by Mercury at 22 degrees Leo. The conjunction to the Sun and Moon encourages communication of all kinds. Particularly via the arts and creative pursuits. There is a Renaissance feeling held within this time. The Sun/Moon/Mercury conjunct in Leo offers a flowing river of creativity. It’s just the thing that’s needed to light the fire of the heart and soul of passion. To begin to awaken the quintessence of fundamental compassion. To let it go and ring it out in breathtaking melodies waiting to be heard.
Do allow yourself to be inspired as you are being offered the opportunity this moment brings. To take a chance on pursuing what is communicated from your heart to your mind. This is where courage and wisdom are born.
