As another waxing phase begins, it’s time to get those new ideas and initiations out there to gather in the light. When our New Moon embarks in the dignified energies of Leo -the sign that consciously aims for creative self-expression- the collective is primed to tap into some inspiration and faith. Fire is Leo’s elemental influence, so be alert to the radiating gifts that are meant to unfold- as this New Moon kicks off an loyal and vital force that The Lion wishes to share with the world.

Leo energy must beware of conceited, self-indulgent, and opinionated energies that may arise. When there is plenty of magnanimous leadership around, it is easy to gravitate to not being able to recognize limitations. While a strong sense of pleasure-loving and dramatization mark any Leo passage, the cultivation of humility, altruism, thrift, and attention to detail will allow this transit to reap its’ greatest rewards.

Be sure to check the Leo House, in particular the 17-degree Leo spot, in your personal birth chart to see where a new energy is ideally meant to unfold as the Moon allows a new canvas to be painted upon at 11:08pm EDT 09 August. This is the area of life that requests an initiation in the next two weeks to follow.
