New Moon in Leo: New Beginnings Aligned With Our Authentic Selves

We have finally come out of Eclipse season and Mercury is direct after three weeks of being retrograde! It's been an intense past month or so where everyone's been so encouraged to get in touch with and follow their emotions. Besides that there could have been major new things coming together and a lot of release of the old, especially emotionally. With Mercury Retrograde there could have been some reflection needed, some realizations about what you truly feel. Probably not complete clarity though about how it all plays out. Now with a New Moon in Leo, which happened last night here on the west coast (July 31st) and today in other time zones this really marks the beginning of a new chapter. Whatever new things came into being during Eclipse season, whatever you've realized, whatever you processed and realized, you can take everything you've learned and move forward! 

With the New Moon happening in Leo you are able to start fresh in a way. Anything aligned with your authentic self can get going now. Wherever you are going and whatever you are starting should either jive with your true self, awaken your heart or help you live a life that allows you more freedom to be you and pursue the life you want. This is the key right now. Not just the Sun and the Moon, but Mars and Venus are also in Leo right now. Leo energy is all about showing up in your full authenticity, about having the courage to be yourself and follow your heart, it's about being creative and playful. About shining your light. It's regal. It's time to hold your head up high and own who you are, what you want and what speaks to your heart. This is all the energy we can tap into at the moment. 

Mercury turning direct will bring more clarity. The clarity could take some time to show up since Mercury needs time to move back to the degree where it was before the retrograde. Still the clouds are parting and things may make more sense. Important communications can happen now. There is greater chance of being understood. Greater ability to express feelings. Also, the past can be much more laid to rest. 

Recently the Sun squared Uranus and it still rather affects the New Moon. It's important that we liberate ourselves at this time. Holding onto anything old or unhealthy will probably just result in some crazy shakeups. Also, it's not a good idea to hold on to fear. You are free to be you. To live an authentic life. To follow your heart and express yourself from the heart. Free yourself! Even as the New Moon comes about there could be unexpected things that could come about. 

Venus in Leo is playing a big part during this New Moon as well. Following our hearts in terms of relationships is important now. New beginnings with relationships are possible. Venus will be trine Chiron in Aries at the time of the New Moon. This means within this new beginning energy there is potential for relationship healing. Ability to heal some wounds around love and relationships. This can be very general, but because of the signs these planetary bodies are in, Leo and Aries, there can be a healing around getting to be who you really are in relationships. Healing from times you felt you couldn't be yourself or that it wasn't honored in a relationship. This can affect you within any relationship dynamic, not just romantic and it can also affect you if you're single. There's just a lot of self-love healing with this placement too. To really honor and accept who you truly are. To heal identity issues. To drop the masks. Also, great for healing and following what you really want in relationships. If previously you have not gone after the type of relationship you wanted, weren't in relationships that were true to your heart you can heal from that and move in a better direction. 

Venus will also be squaring Uranus soon after the New Moon. Again, if you are holding onto the past or anything unhealthy in terms of relationships, expect some shakeups. You need to liberate yourself in terms of relationships. Free yourself to have excitement, passion and authentic love. Don't hold on to stagnation, what's no longer working, the fear etc. There could be any sort of unexpected things within the realm of relationships as well since we're dealing with Uranus. 

It's truly exciting that this major Eclipse season is done. It's time to move into some new, more authentically aligned territory. Now we can express ourselves and have more clarity about the direction we are going in. It's a vibrant, exciting, courageous, loving and healing time. Also, unpredictable as Uranus in aspect could throw some curveballs. 

New Moon Solar Eclipse in Leo: There is No One Alive Who is Your Than You

It's here! The last of the Eclipses! The New Moon Solar Eclipse in Leo will happen in the wee small hours of tomorrow morning (August 11th ). Eclipses happen astrologically when the Sun and the Moon are conjunct the Nodes, so this is the time for us to finally get the lesson of the North Node in Leo and the South Node in Aquarius. 

✨Leo Energy ✨

I know I've talked about this energy so much by now, but here I go again! This Solar Eclipse is really the big final moment to fully embrace this energy. It's a new beginning. Mercury and Mars are still retrograde so this new beginning is starting more on the inside at this time and then the full effects will start to all come together at the end of the month. 

So the Solar Eclipse is in Leo, of course highlighting the North Node in Leo. What's this energy about? It's about stepping into your true authentic self. Now is the time for a fresh start with this energy. This is happening on different levels for different people. For some this is a new concept and for others it's not so new. It's time to shine your inner light, to bask in the wonderfulness of who you are. With the South Node in Aquarius, it's time to share this with others. It's time to follow your heart. To live from your heart space. It's time to share your innate gifts. It's time to get in touch with your creative power. Now you can create a life that is authentic to you! 

It's about fun and happiness as well. Are you ready for a life that makes you happy; a life that you find fun? You won't be happy unless you allow yourself to be you and to live the life you want. If you are pleasing others you won't be having any fun. In fact that can get super boring really fast. Living someones else's life is no fun. 

It's time to step into our inner king or queen energy and create our kingdoms the way we'd like them. Or our inner rockstar. Whatever archetype you can think of that represents standing strong in your authentic power and rocking it. 

The time for giving yourself up for anybody else is over. Hopefully if you had issues surrounding that you've been working on letting that go. This is another super important opportunity to get as far away from that as possible. 

✨Mercury Retrograde Conjunct Solar Eclipse ✨

Mercury Retrograde in Leo has been helping us out with the Leo energy through reflection. It's very close to the New Moon. There may still be important revelations to be had about yourself that you may discover through quiet time and reflection. Mercury Retrograde also takes us back to the past and Leo is your inner child. It's time to reflect on who you were when you were younger. It's good to get in touch with that simpler time because there are so many keys about who you really are imbedded in that time. 

✨Mercury Retrograde Square Jupiter ✨

At the same time of the New Moon Solar Eclipse, Mercury is square Jupiter. We really still need to reflect because this square to Jupiter shows us that there's some thing or things that we really desire deep down that we're either not seeing or acknowledging perhaps. We need to really think and bring up to the surface these deep desires so we can act on them and expand. Whatever they are will most likely help us have a better life. Also, on a side note be careful what you say during this aspect as you could say too much or go to far. 

✨Venus Starting to trine/sextile the Nodes ✨

This is helping us find balance as Venus is in Libra. To allow ourselves to feel good and have what brings us pleasure in our lives. It helps us connect to love. The pure energy of love. So that we can love ourselves, experience genuine love with others and love our lives. 

✨Pluto Inconjunct Solar Eclipse ✨

There's transformation that needs to happen, but we may be struggling with that. An inconjunct is when two energies are not working together and are very different. We want to step into our new fabulous lives perhaps without having to cut away the old or to face what seems would be a crisis. We need to be willing to transform. 

~ What a crazy summer it's been! This is like the final countdown right now though and what it all comes down to. It's all about stepping into our authentic selves and all the the different energies are just pulling and pushing us in that direction. This Solar Eclipse is exciting though! It marks new energy. It can also be a fated time. Keep in mind that the energy will start moving forward after August 27th, so don't be frustrated if you don't see results right now. Things will be moving forward soon and we will be implementing this new energy. If you need personal guidance about this energy I am always available for chart readings.

New Moon in Leo: In the Spotlight With Luck on Your Side

On Saturday July 27th 2014, there will be a New Moon in Leo. This should be a really fun and lucky New Moon as it is conjunct Jupiter! The New Moon should make us just want to let go, have fun and shine in our uniqueness! 

This New Moon should be great for being in the spotlight either literally or figuratively. This will be a great opportunity to get the recognition you deserve and desire. A confidence boost should hopefully be coming your way! So this weekend let go of any fears holding you back and let yourself be special, let yourself shine and stand out from the crowd. On that note, also remember to dish out those compliments towards others ( only if you mean them of course), make others feel good, cause what goes around comes around. 

New Moons are always about manifesting and beginning new things. This particular New Moon is a great time to begin any sort of creative project, plan for an extravagant party , participate in performing arts, or anything that will make you become more confident and that allows you to shine in all your brilliance. Leo rules the heart, so this is also a great time to decide to open your heart and let it be filled with joy. 

This New Moon conjunct Jupiter will be square to Mars which entered Scorpio the day before. Usually this might be kind of intense, and I guess for some it might be. I think though that this aspect will give every one extra energy to go after their dreams and to fiercely decide that they are going to let themselves be exceptional at whatever it is they love and that they are going to stand in their own power. Also besides Jupiter making the New Moon lucky, I think Mars will make the New Moon sexy as well if you know what I mean. 

~Overall this sounds like a really fun, empowering, and fortunate New Moon. Don't forget to start new and exciting ventures and to sparkle and shine in your own uniqueness! ~
