The Leo new moon more than any other time of the year is the time to play have fun, and enjoy the gift of life and honor the special person that you are.
The Leo new moon is July 31st 11:12pm EDT just minutes before Mercury moves direct. Sitting still and listening to the wisdom in your heart will reveal what you have been seeking.
Venus is in Leo next to the Sun and moon in Leo. The new moon with Venus in Leo adds another emphasis on bringing into your life what makes your heart sign. She is in a complicated pattern with Uranus and Neptune (Square Uranus and sesiquadrate Neptune) this is a curious combination of wanting something different and a longing for divine love and acceptance.
Venus traveling with the sun is her sacred time, she is invisible now and preparing in the weeks ahead to be reborn as the evening star. Having Venus and the Leo New moon connected with shake up life Uranus and reality isn’t real Neptune has a strange effect that is lovely and unsettling at the same time.
In addition Mercury which has been retrograde the last three weeks moves direct the day of the Leo New moon. Mercury is connected with deep thinking Pluto, the journey over the last 3 weeks to reconsider what brings security, safety, and a sense of belonging begins to take form. The next phase is to implement changes that you have decided will help you have more of what brings contentment and joy.
Every year at the Leo New Moon is a time to set intentions for our hearts wishes.
