Forecast 8/6 If you’re getting up on the wrong side of bed, don’t add to it with an early morning confrontation.
Look in the mirror and have a heart-to-heart; you might need to evaluate the source of the grievance. Sometimes an old ghost causes new trouble and you need to get clear on the underlying fault line.
Of course, if you feel pulled into someone else’s snare, hold the mirror up to him/her. Once on solid ground, a great deal of resolution and new growth can be seeded.
The Leo New Moon occurs at 5:51 p.m. This is a powerful day to conceptualize a new goal or vision.
The Sabian symbol** for this point at 14°35” Leo is “A pageant”. What’s astounding about this phrase is that astrologers consider this degree on the world axis, so when it is triggered it can make a big noise.
One would hope that this would be a jubilant sound, but because of the other pieces of the picture, there may be volatility. The best picture is controlled combustion, like fireworks or a bonfire. Taking this to a symbolic image, imagine how you want to shine your inner flame.
The Leo New Moon encourages the confident steps of the adored child who burns brightly through appreciation by the elders. The part of the body associated with Leo is the heart; what is your heart’s desire? Can you dedicate a ceremony to it? Can you ritualize the importance of your creative self?
Picture a pageant celebrating your achievement, whether accomplished, in process or in your mind. The New Moon is the time to vision that desire becoming your reality. Activities especially supported through Leo are love affairs (not necessarily long-term), taking calculated risks or a gamble (not big numbers!), glamorous events and creative pursuits including those with or having children.
In the horoscope set for the U.S.A., the tension between corporate needs and the legacy for our children is on the table. You might want to save a prayer wish for a big-picture goal as well; each person who does magnifies its potential. Since the moon is void of course/VOC* from 5:51 when it passes the New Moon, it’s best to not start right into that new project but let it cook.
*Moon VOC/Void-of-Course… in Leo, you do well to play: window-shop, go to a museum or performance, flirt, and make some artwork.
** We are still in the process of understanding the Sabian symbols, which were channeled in 1925. The spiritualist astrologer Marc Edmund Jones, took Elsie Wheeler, a clairvoyant confined to a wheelchair to a San Diego park with a project. He put a symbol for each of the 360° of the zodiacal wheel on 360 cards. She proceeded to come up with visual phrases for each one of them. They were done in random order and they have a magic that is hard to decipher, yet feels totally right.
