August 2013

What started at the New Moon on August 6th at 15 degrees of Leo are new and unusual solutions that can solve some long-standing challenges in your life with the Sun and Moon trine Uranus in the New Moon chart. The Sun and Moon trine Uranus brings us the opportunities to discovery and opens our Higher Mind to insight and new awareness. The people who may give us support will be a teacher, healer, physician, or a musician.

New Moons are times of new beginnings – an opportunity to wipe the slate clean and begin anew each month.  This New Moon squares the lunar nodes, which is a bit like an eclipse. In an eclipse the Sun and Moon conjoin the nodes, and a square is a more powerful aspect which intensifies the sense of fate. The nodes of the Moon guide us from the past to the future, so this New Moon has the potential to be a great ally in confronting something from the past so that we can move more freely towards our ultimate destiny. It is important to slow down and give yourself time to let go of our old habit patterns and fears that came up during the Sun in Cancer cycle and embrace the transformative change that the Universe is creating with the New Moon in Leo, signifying an opportunity to begin anew in the celebration of the creative playful Divine Child and let the light of souls shine through your personality in all its splendor.

 The Leo New Moon also coincides with the exact opposition from Jupiter to Pluto. We are being stretched to our utmost now to balance our ideals with expansive Jupiter and letting go of anything that does not aid in our ultimate transformation with regenerative Pluto.

Mercury leaves the sign of Cancer and enters Leo on the 8th and for a few weeks our mental processes turn from the feeling realm of Cancer to the more Self-oriented and exuberant sign of Leo. Mercury is active over the next few days, starting on the 8th forming a square to Saturn which is a good time for working out problems or tackling a business issue but can also be somewhat heavy and have a proclivity towards negative thinking with ridge thinking and being judgmental for a day or two.

 This cycle of Mercury square Saturn peaks on August 11th just as another cycle associated with new, even radical, ideas comes into range with Mercury trine Uranus. These energies can trap you in narrow-minded thinking, considering only a limited number of solutions, none of which may really solve an important issue. If you stay trapped in these limited thoughts instead of opening up to completely new possibilities, you’re likely to find your goals thwarted. Pay attention to when you feel mentally frustrated or limited. Then consciously choose to open up to new ideas.

Venus leaves solid Virgo for Libra on the 16th, enhancing our desire for beauty in our surroundings and adding a bit of good luck. Relationships are more important with Venus in Libra and it is generally easier to find ways to find balance and harmony. 

 

It can be helpful to know where the New Moon is in your birth- chart. When you know the house placement of the New Moon in your birth chart for a given month, you will know the area of life that is best for you to focus on for your personal growth and success for that particular New Moon.
