New Moon in Leo

A Leo New Moon forms on Sunday shortly before Mercury retrograde begins. This lunation brings a strong sense of freshness, boldness, and passion since Venus, planet of love, is squaring electric Uranus, encouraging us to embrace what’s new 🖖🏼

The primary message of the New Moon in Leo is this: only you have the honour to define and declare who you are. It’s a bold action that doesn’t necessarily require confidence but demands concrete, credible and consistent choices. These choices allow you to acknowledge fear while still defining and asserting who you are. When it comes to the fullest analysis of Leo, it’s not about attention-seeking or grandiosity; it’s a call to courage.

Thanks to the Venus-Uranus square, this act of courage has the potential to change the quality of our relationships. It also may inspire a heated but necessary exchange with Mars conjunct Jupiter in Gemini, highlighting that conflict can be a bridge to closeness. An out-of-sign conjunction between Mercury in Virgo turning retrograde tomorrow and Venus in the last degree of Leo could inspire us to get very granular about courage’s next steps-the clear, consistent, and credible ways that help us live into who we say we are.

With Mercury retrograde in the background, we still need to address issues from the past. It’s important to tie up loose ends with sensitivity and careful communication before leaping onto new trajectories.
Mercury will station retrograde in Virgo on August 27 which reminds us to slow down and remember our everyday routines that bring us health and stability. The rest of the month presents some challenges, and now is the time to set out on the right foot. We can hold our visions of love, creativity, and pleasure, while also remaining committed to our healing and sanity 🛸
