New Moon in Leo July 28th:

Stimulate Authenticity and Recognizing the Time is Now

The new moon impacts all zodiac signs, but Leo, Aquarius, and Cancer will feel it the most.

New moons can signify a beginning, an inception, or a pause in the journey you have been creating.

Depending on what stage you are in in your life, they can mean different things and therefore, potentially cause different feelings and shifts to arise.

What remains the same for everyone no matter your zodiac sign or stage in your life, is the new lunar cycle allows us all to get introspective about what has occurred since the last lunar cycle.

If you can remember the last new moon was in the water sign of Cancer. We have now made the dramatic change from water to the fire-y sign of Leo.

Leo season began on July 22nd so the Leo sun will meet with the Leo new moon on July 28th. This alignment will allow you to lean into dreaming big. Start to think about what you could do if you could never fail.

It is time to start that manifestation technique you have maybe been putting off or coming up with excuses that you don’t have time for it. Now is the time to start asking for what we want, out loud, and watch to see what the Universe will create for us.

To do this you need to be open, let your guard down. This Leo new moon allows us to lean into our inner child and remember to not overthink or be so analytical, place our mind down and allow our innate consciousness and knowing to take over.

Leo is an energetically supported time to bring intentions around creative expression, building confidence, socializing, and self accountability.

It is also important to reflect on the last lunar cycle and what you have accomplished related to your goals and intentions since then. Self-accountability is heightened during this new moon and draws us towards understanding the connection between confidence and self-trust.

If we continue to commit to things without following through, we begin to lose self-trust and that will affect our confidence in ourselves and towards others.

Start to rebuild your confidence by committing to your new goals, and committing to the work that comes along with achieving these goals.

If you already have goals in motion, there is no need to start new ones but focus on recalibrating and see what you can maybe do differently.

Leo is incredibly fire-y and it joins us during the summer season where the heat in the middle of the summer comes to its peak. It’s at this point where plants reach their peak of maturation and become fully grown and farming occurs.

When we work with the patterns of nature, we understand that it is our time of maturation as well, and time to step into our power, reflect on our past growth, and gain a better understanding of who we are and who we aren’t.

Tomorrow, take time to get grounded, maybe spend time outside and write down your continuous intentions. Just as you maintain these intentions and draw them closer to you, with every passing day you are working in conjunction with the energy of the moon as it gathers more light until it reaches its peak during the full moon. This is where you can watch your work really come into fruition.

Other transits:

Jupiter is in retrograde. This is the largest planet in our solar system and is the planet of optimism. This retrograde is here to remind us that life is really about the journey and not the destination, and encourages us to continue to learn and gain knowledge to expand ourselves mentally.

Mercury and Uranus square off in the sky that will cause some of us to feel called to make a breakthrough through the illusions in our life. Using the Leo confidence, we will seek changes and shifts in our daily life and may cause us to draw from our grounded-ness to learn to handle the changes occurring in our life.

Mercury squares off with Mars in the sky. Mercury is busy this new moon. This square aspect heightens likelihood of friction between some signs. Heightened Mercury energy can cause us to make rash decisions, jump to conclusions, create friction, issues, or compete with dominance. Be careful when making decisions during this time and be aware of overwhelming feelings.  

Lean more towards activities and things that bring us more back into our body like creative endeavors, or whatever brings you back to the present moment.
