Fierce New Moon in Leo 2023
The New Moon and the Venus Retrograde in Leo are encouraging us to plant new seeds in the Leo part of our Astrological chart. Fireworks are lit in this area of our chart. We are in the beginning stages of a major transformation. We are getting clear about what we value, what we want, and what we need. We are clearing space from our hearts (Venus Retrograde) and minds (upcoming Mercury Retrograde).
Today, the New Moon in Leo is square Uranus and trine North Node. Change is coming. Mars, the planet of war, desire, creativity, and action is trine Uranus, the planet of sudden, unexpected changes. Dynamic energy is in the air. Expect the unexpected from now till the next New Moon. The New Moon is also pregnant with inspiration and brilliant creative ideas. New opportunities and solutions are available to us.
We are, collectively, being taught about the energy of Leo. Leo is a fixed, fire sign. It teaches us confidence, playfulness, creative expression, generosity, sincerity, romance, dignity, courage and grandeur. It is the sign of the King and Queen. The sign of the Lion. This New Moon urges us to shine bright like the Sun. We are invited to be in the spotlight. There is a need to feel recognized, loved, and accomplished. The New Moon invites us to focus on what gives us joy and pleasure. We are invited to be playful and follow our passions. Passionate pursuits, heartfelt desires, and creativity are high. We are inspired to live from our hearts. We are urged to live in our truth.
The Mars Trine Uranus aspect, inspires us to break through the mold and find creative solutions to problems. It motivates us to take inspired action toward our dreams. The Moon is trine the North Node, so make sure the actions you are inspired to take are aligned with your future. Think about the consequences and long-term repercussions of your actions. Align your heart, mind, and soul before making any moves.
The energies of the Venus Cazimi, and Venus square Uranus are also still active during this New Moon period (which lasts till the next new moon). When Venus moves away from Leo and enters Virgo later this year, we will have more clarity about what we want and changes will be finalized in our relationships and financial sectors. Right now, the Light of the Sun reflected onto the Moon is guiding us through the dark. We don’t have all the answers yet. Listen. Research. Take your time. A new moon is a birthing period, the Moon is still dark, and the seed is under the ground beginning the journey toward growth. Growth is a process.
This Leo period is an internal process. Our minds and heart are getting clear. The upcoming Mercury Retrograde will help with that. It is important not to push or impose our will onto the process of life. Let life flow naturally. Take the time to do the internal work. Keep your emotions and your mind in check. Stay in your heart. Meditate. Journal write. Go for a walk. Talk to others. Get clear. Trust the process. Keep going.
