New Moon in Leo Forecast

Reality-Shifting Radiance

New Moon in Leo - August 4, 2024 - Exact at 7:12 am EST

Peak summer is upon us. Can you feel the transformative power of the light?

Leo shows us what it means to be fixed on shining. And with this Leo New Moon, that lesson runs especially deep.

This is the first Leo New Moon that anyone on earth has ever experienced with Pluto occupying Aquarius - the sign of Leo’s opposite - reminding us there is power in our radiance. 

Radiance is our birthright. Our potency as creators.

The light that pulses through us is as ancient as the Sun from which it came. Our lives are fractals of our 4 billion-year-old star whose light travels 94 million miles to sustain all that ever was and ever will be on this planet.

When we are devoted to our embodiment as creators, we are devoted to the light of the Sun that’s shining through us. The light that touches all signs and constellations, all planets, all life, and all time as we’ll ever know it.

While half of the planets are in fixed signs anchoring commitment in the face of challenge, the other half are in mutable signs energizing the changes that must be made to clear a path to our devotion.

As Mercury prepares to station retrograde in Virgo on Monday, August 5th, we are being called to review the ways we may sacrifice our shine and falsely call it service.

Virgo comes from the word virgin meaning whole unto oneself. 

With Venus in the final degree of Leo where she is re-appearing on her wisdom throne as an evening star, we are reminded that to embody the sovereign skillfulness of Virgo, we must first honor and embody the transformative power of our inner light. The power that pours from the cracks in our broken hearts. The power that illuminates our darkest depths. The courage we only know if we dare make space to feel it.

And as Mars approaches Jupiter in Gemini, both in a supportive sextile to this New Moon, a steadfast mind is the way to make space for this expansion.

We forget that stars are brightest in the darkest sky. We forget that all adversity gives way to strength. 

Reflect on:

  • What limiting beliefs must you counter to make way for the light of love that is here to be expressed through you – even amidst your greatest challenge? 

  • Are there ways you are of service that emblazon and regenerate your life force?

  • What would be possible for you if your inner light was unencumbered? If you claimed shining as your birthright? If we all did?

This New Moon in Leo summons devotion to your radiance. For the good of you and the whole of life you’re made of.
