What’s Up in Your Chart?
Tips for How the Leo New Moon Can Affect You Personally.

Everyone has the Leo New Moon influence in one, or more areas of their chart. Here are a few areas of your chart where you can experience the Leo New Moon influence:

  • The Sun rules the sign of Leo. The Sun shines its radiant light to bring warmth and life to whatever it touches. Its brilliance can eradicate the darkest of shadows. The Sun is the universal symbol for Consciousness and the power of awareness to overcome ignorance.
  • The Sun rules the 5th house of romance, children and investments. The 5th house is also the house of gambling and taking risks.
  • What personal celestial bodies are located in your 5th house? Do you have any easy flowing, or hard aspects to this house from one or more of your personal planets, or points? The easy flowing aspects offer support and protection to your feeling of esteem and recognition in the world. While harsh aspects will augment the challenges presented at this time.
  • What house is your natal Sun located in your personal astrology chart? If you have harmonious contacts from your personal planets to your Sun then you will feel more supported at this time. You may want to lean into the energy symbolized by these harmonious aspects to your natal Sun for support.
  • If there are stressful contacts to your natal Sun you’ll want to take note of this. Challenging aspects give you an opportunity for growth. If you can remember that when under any stress you experience at the Leo New Moon its best to be contemplative and reflect about whatever is happening rather than be reactive to whatever surfaces. Let yourself be guided to the best course of action.
  • The moon moves quickly through each sign and house, so whatever happens though it may leave a lasting impact upon your psyche the emotions will be transient. Best to let your emotions settle before taking action that may have long standing results.
  • The Leo New Moon cycle brings fresh opportunities that will play out until the next New Moon which will be in Virgo on September 14th.

The Leo Moon brings opportunity for impressing others, as well as getting praise and admiration from others with mixed results. Though there’s a part of you that may seek, or even crave the limelight, there’s also a part of you that feels insecure when getting attention. The Leo Moon may bring an opportunity to look at your fear of criticism. Perhaps you need to realize the fear comes from your own inner critic’s voice. You can create peace within when you turn your inner judge into a worthy ally by accepting and appreciating its feedback for your own improvement. Now is a great time to start a new self-nurturance program. Give yourself the attention you seek outside.
