The Lion Roars in on the New Moon in August

In a summer that just doesn’t seem to be able to get started, our watery moon roars in and brings the heat of the sun in Leo.  In all this watery energy, things get the fiery push you might need to finally get some things done and feel a little ambition and zip again.

Though, I must admit I am thoroughly enjoying this water trine, having Neptune conjunct Jupiter in Scorpio myself; I do love the sun and I most certainly love Leo’s and the energy of the Lion.  This incendiary marriage of the sun and moon at 14* of Leo will bring further exposure and certainly some strutting of leaders who want to be the leader of the pride.
I like the brave hearted aspect of this conjunction, though I do expect some of the dark-hearted and egotistical expressions of this energy; I also like the courageous actions of standing up for those who have a hard time standing up for themselves.  That includes people who come forth and take a stand for their beliefs, without throwing other people under the bus.

Lions are loving and protective of their families, so they usually make great parents, as long as they don’t spoil their children with all that flattery that they themselves are so susceptible to.  You earn the badge of Leo as an aspect in your chart, hopefully you will make good use of that aspect and energy and swallow the pride, while you exalt the sunny disposition and roar as necessary to protect others.

I love the passion of Leo’s and their ability to entertain and own the stage.  Some famous Leo’s:
Madonna,  Halle Berry,  Martha Stewart , Sandra Bullock, Iman , Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Mick Jagger, Charlize Theron, Whitney Houston, Robert De Niro, Bill Clinton, Dustin Hoffman, Antonio Banderas, Kim Cattrall, & Robert Redford to name a few…get the picture?

Note they all have ‘swag’ and that ability to take over the screen with charm and charisma, they have it in spades.

Go out and make some campfires, bring out the children and entertain family and friends, this is the time to warm up the heart and be affectionate and generous.  So go ahead, splurge a little, Leo reminds us to LIVE, to remember the world is your stage and you are the main actor, but also to share the warmth and include others.

Tell someone they look good, you like their haircut, their smile or their company.  Flattery will go a long way in a Leo New Moon.

Light a candle every day up until the full moon August 20^th at 9:46PM, and let it burn all night into the 21^st.

Pay attention to the colours that make you feel alive.  What do they mean, how do they make you feel?

Jupiter (Jove, expansion, children, joy) and Mars (action and energy and where your passion gets ignited in your own chart) in the watery depths of Cancer still, have a resonance with this new moon too, and they are squaring Uranus (sudden changes, insights, brilliance, groups)  in Aries so expect those sudden changes to plans but trust that Jove (Zeus) has joy in store for you, and go follow those flames into the watery and surreal world of magic and make believe.
As Uranus is still squaring Pluto (Hades, power, sex and the underworld) there are going to be power plays both on the world stage and in your own personal lives, and the better you are at feeling confident and secure, and finding levity and humour in the situation, the better the ride will be.

At the same time, we have the obvious opposition that comes with Mars and Jupiter in Cancer to Pluto in Capricorn, so expect the transformation at some level, within the home especially when it comes to who is in charge and unfortunately, divulging secrets as a power play in persuading and extorting some vulnerable place in your heart, so find your heart song and sing it out, don’t let the darker energy of Pluto/Hades scare you into retreat.  Fact: Hades loves a good lament and music is his weakness.
Take a cue from Etta James and cry like a rainy day.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7igDwNCos-w

You can’t fight water, you can’t hold back the tide, you can only take a deep breath and open your eyes, there is magic afoot, it will come sauntering into the room and howl in the wind, it will also whisper in your ear when you are just waking up, or falling asleep, and the divine loving hand that guides us all, has a sweet message for you…Listen…let the words fall into your dreamy being and shine a light on your soul, waking up the slumbering memory that you are never alone, and the Lion doesn’t really sleep at night.

All is well in the mighty jungle of the Lord.
