The new moon in Leo officially took place on 07/28 at 1:55PM est, 10:55AM ptd. This moon is powerful, as it carries a vibration of intense change on the horizon. Taking place at 5:55 universal time, at the 5° of Leo, this moon highlights how change is always possible, but we have to decide it for ourselves. Sitting opposite to Pluto in Capricorn, the powerful changes that take place under this moon, may not be easy. Whatever we are calling in and looking to upgrade, will most likely come with sacrifices. However we should embrace these changes anyway, and believe in our ability to achieve greatness! With positive aspects to Jupiter in Aries, this new moon provides us with a great boost of confidence to believe in our visions. Jupiter truly steals the show, as the planet of expansion, luck and wealth stations for retrograde just a few hours after the new moon.
Some of the shifts we are going through now, can be ignited by visions and confirmations provided by Jupiter, as we are given a new (and more true) perspective of ourselves and our goals. It’s time to embrace new opportunities while tapping into our playful creative side! Often times the best methods of manifesting, are the same ways we engage in self care and pleasure. While there is heightened excitement in the air, we are also reminded to take our time completing these goals. Mercury in Leo squares off to the Taurus stellium (Uranus, Mars, north node), reminding us that working hard doesn’t always require us to apply force or pressure; our essence is more than enough!
Aries
This moon calls in for rest and charging. While this is a great time to create vision boards and set goals, take your time creating a plan! If the goal is to live your best life, why rush it?
Taurus
A sudden shift in plans can take place under this moon cycle, as the planet of surprises and innovation connects with yours. Embrace these changes but don’t get yourself too down! Allow the dust to settle before reacting.
Gemini
This is a time for deep reflection and contemplating on what you have accomplished thus far. There may be a desire to enhance your long term plans at this time. Trust that the changes (no matter how ugly they may look now) will unfold with more abundance than you could have imagined!
Cancer
It’s time you finally do something that scares you! Sticking to the status quo will only deliver you more status quo; nothing changes if nothing changes! Prosperous opportunities of a lifetime could be offered to you, are you brave enough to say yes to them?
Leo
Happy lunar return! With this moon taking place in your sign, this is an abundant time full of luck and opportunity as the planet of expansion and wealth connects with this moon. While you celebrate these new blessings, prepare your space and self by releasing what is no longer.
Virgo
This moon can have you feeling doubtful and down if you’re not careful! Whatever realignment that may be taking place now, know that this is not a reflection of failure but a reflection of your dreams being bigger than you expected! Big dreams require big space, how is space expanding for you at this time?
Libra
The planet of strategy and action, and the planet of innovation and change both connect with yours, shining light on new opportunities. These new experiences could fall in your lap quickly, so be sure to say yes when they come around! Delaying your plans due to uncertainty of how they may unfold, is a quick way to block your blessing. Trust yourself!
Scorpio
This moon can bring some discomfort, as you are being challenged to dig deeper into your feelings. This is about shadow work and recognizing that your shadow (and ego) are not the villain! You actually need both, but how you see them effects how they show up for you. Confront whatever discomfort you feel now and reclaim your power!
Sagittarius
With your ruling planet stationing retrograde under this moon, deep revelations can be expected at this time. Your intuition is heightened at this time too, which means your dreams may have some important insight for you to receive. Allow these visions to fuel your desire to call in new experiences and new levels of abundance!
Capricorn
It’s time to return to the drawing board and review what’s working and what is not working. While you complete this, solutions will be highlighted which can help you make bigger strides in your plans. Remember, in order to recognize these changes you have to pause and look at them.
Aquarius
With this moon taking place in your sister sign, emotional tides can be heightened now. You are being called to see the bigger picture and recognize that in order to be a star, sometimes you have to burn. The intense pressure you may be feeling is proof of this. Breakthrough, or break down!
Pisces
Psychic upgrades and heightened messages from your guides can be expected under this moon, as one of your ruling planets connects with multiple celestial bodies. This is an ideal time to start planting new seeds, while taking your time and being as intentional as possible.
