New Moon in Leo 08|16
Hello Beautiful Souls & Welcome Back!
Lately, I have not been in the space to verbally chitchat on stories so why not utilize my blog and share what is going on in the cosmos?
On August 16th we will have a New Moon in Leo. As many know, a New Moon represents new beginnings and fresh starts. I don’t know about y’all but I could really use some fresh new energy right now. This is a time to gather all your intentions, create a plan, and release it to The Divine (God, Angels, and Universe).
Take a moment to think about where you’re currently at in life. What area(s) could use some fresh new energy? Is it your health & fitness, family & home, relationships (platonic and romantic), career & business, travel & adventure? How can you call in fresh energy or pour newer energy into those areas? What are your intentions and what is the action plan? Once you have created that give it to The Divine. This is the vital part. You must be willing to surrender and trust the process while doing what you can (taking action) as things are being prepared by the Higher Power. Trusting the process is not always easy because we feel as though things are not happening.
You must remember sometimes we cannot always see what is happening behind the scenes, but when the curtains open there is a beautiful performance taking place.
Now let us talk about what it means to be in the sign of Leo. Leo is ruled by The Sun. The Sun symbolizes ego, basic personality, consciousness, vitality, and stamina. Just like everything in life, there is the positive and negative side of Leo.
Leo’s Positive Side: brave, playful, leader, fun warm, protective, generous, and charismatic.
Leo’s Negative Side: egotistical, dominating, stubborn, controlling, show-off, and vain.
Leo’s Ruling House is the 5th which is creativity and entertainment. Its element is fire.
Before we move forward we have to backtrack a little. We currently have Venus in Retrograde in the sign of Leo. This began on July 23rd and will end on September 3rd, but you always want to give it a 10-day grace period for the energy to stabilize. Venus is the planet of attraction, love, relationships, art, beauty, and harmony. If you can, take a moment to reflect on your own personal life. What areas are feeling challenged and what areas are blooming?
During this time it is known for relationships to end, have challenges, and/or when past ex-lovers resurface. Yes, when relationships end or go into separation it can feel like the end of the world. It can feel confusing and hurtful. With this all happening in the sign of Leo be mindful not to show up in those negative ways: egotistical, dominating, stubborn, controlling, show-off, and vain. This can cause much more pain in the connections/relationships. Try your best to show up with positive energy: brave, playful, leader, fun warm, protective, generous, and charismatic. If the other person or persons are not aligning with you or you cannot see eye to eye; that is OKAY. It simply means that y’all need space to breathe or that y’all no longer align.
Endings can be scary because you cannot see the future or how things will turn out. I know firsthand how tough this can be, but every time I reach the light I am gifted something so beautiful. And I think to myself, damn why was I even trippin’? But it is all part of the process.
If you find yourself or found yourself stepping back into old patterns of behaviors or thought processes please hold space for yourself. It is okay to f*ck up and react in ways you wish you didn’t. IT MAKES YOU HUMAN. It is all a gift. Sometimes we get so caught up in the moment we cannot self-soothe and the emotions override us. When you begin to calm back down how can you self-soothe? Can you take a cold shower? Splash cold water on your face? Go for a run? Meditate? Call a friend? What do you need to shift back into taking care of yourself before you return to that challenge, problem, or person(s)?
Okay, back to the New Moon in Leo. This is a time to be more expressive. Finding new ways to express your feelings, express your creativity, and socialize with others. All while being more aware of self. We are going to gain this overall fire energy within. We are going to feel more passionate, energetic, optimistic, confident, and independent. This is the time to live from your HEART. Open it up especially if it has been closed. When you set those intentions and create the action plans you are being asked to trust and know everything will be created and moved with LOVE.
New Moon Oracle Reading
I pulled two cards for the New Moon Energy. We got Deep Knowing and To The Sea.
Deep Knowing: trusting your intuition, listening to your higher self within, empathy, and hypersensitivity.
Know that you have the ability to read between the lines and find all the truth that was missing when the story was told. Deep knowing allows you to open the door of wisdom far greater than what is available in the limitations of the human experience. The trick is to listen and then act accordingly. To receive the messages you must sit in silence (meditation) or do what you need to do to calm the mind. Also, pay attention to the signs.
To The Sea: being in flow, returning to the source, recognizing how pieces fit together, a natural pattern of events.
Doesn’t it always feel great when you feel yourself in the flow of life? This card is to remind us that going with the flow is exactly what you need to do right now. Ride the waves of opportunity. Allow trust and faith to guide you forward as you flow like the river into the sea of life.
