In addition to its energetic seeds of self-confidence, self-assurance and self-awareness that you can use to develop your self-expression, every Leo New Moon comes steeped in fortitude that can help you stand up to adversity.
Yes, Leo may be flashy, but beneath all of the glamour, clamor and drama of this fun-loving sign beats the heart of a Lion, and it earned the phrase “I Will” because it has the backbone to stand up for its values, its beliefs and its convictions.
Make no mistake. Leo is the zodiac’s designated ruler of the spine for a very good reason.
And on that note, if you’re ready to stake a claim on a momentous new beginning, this empowering new moon has your name on it.
Since Leo is ruled by the Sun, the planet that describes your conscious individuality, purpose, self-expression and free will, every year the Leo New Moon serves as your annual reminder to affirm your personal sovereignty, straighten your crown and pursue a new path that aligns with your heart and feeds your soul.
This year, its reminder comes with more than the promise of a fresh start. It comes wrapped in cosmic energy that offers a life-changing new beginning if you have the courage to follow the new moon’s lead.
Up in the heavens, the new moon will be locking eyes with the icy stare of the fearsome and powerful Pluto, and she will need to summon every ounce of her courage and supremacy to stand her ground and keep her crown intact.
Fortunately, that isn’t a problem when you’re in the sign of the Lion.
As the new moon stands tall, she will send flowing beams of creative energy to Saturn (structure) and Neptune (dream) in Aries (initiation), which in turn will use their friendly relationship with Pluto to create a profound opportunity on her behalf.
So how is this cosmic scenario likely to play out in your life?
It means that a new beginning could face some strong opposition, and if so, you will need to stand your ground and look elsewhere for support. The good news is that not only are you likely to find it, but your source of support will likely have connections, resources or ideas that will help you make it happen.
However, since Mercury is retrograde at this new moon, it does bring in the possibility that your intentions will take longer to germinate. If so, there may be something that needs to be tweaked or someone you need to get in touch with is away on vacation.
