The Dance of the Cosmos Continues
Welcome to the Leo New Moon
The new moon in Leo is the time to listen to your heart and reconnect to the childlike wonder and faith within. In this world that can at times appear to have gone mad, the New Moon message is to remember the joys of everyday life and find beauty and wonder in the simple pleasures that surround you.
Neptune, the planet of dreaming, is connected with the new moon beckoning to take time to chill, watch the clouds in the sky, and imagine how things could be. Even though the new moon it is connected with the not so easy aspect of adjusting to ones dreams, once the help from Mercury in I can figure it out Virgo kicks in, the path to your vision is clearer.
Mars has moved out of Scorpio and into Sagittarius, firing up rhetoric and defending opinions and beliefs once again. (Oh vey, more of what we in the USA have been getting only stronger.) A healthy use of this energy is to recommit to an exercise program, being physically active, and discovering new subjects that are of interest to you that you would like to learn. The urge to travel and get out of town can kick in with Mars in Sagittarius. Plans for the holiday’s months ahead can be made during this time.
The message from this New moon is very clear. Reconnect with what brings you joy while honoring the pragmatic wisdom your intellect offers.
