A Stellar Rendezvous:
In the early hours of August 16th, at precisely 2:38 a.m., PDT, a heavenly rendezvous takes place as the Moon joins forces with the Sun in the radiant sign of Leo. This embrace forms the heart of the Leo New Moon, a powerful conjunction that sets the stage for a profound journey.
But wait, the cast of characters doesn't end there. The luminous Moon finds itself entangled in an intricate dance with retrograde Venus, Black Moon Lilith, Mars in Virgo, Uranus in Taurus, Neptune in Pisces, Pluto in Capricorn, Chiron, Eris, and the North Node in Aries. Each of these players adds its own unique note to the symphony, creating a tapestry of energies that shape our experiences during this celestial event.
Astrological Alchemy: As the Moon cozies up to retrograde Venus, the echoes of the recent Venus Star still linger, infusing the air with an enchanting allure. It's as if the universe beckons us to explore the depths of love, beauty, and self-expression, inviting us to take center stage in our own lives.
Meanwhile, the Moon's semi-sextile to Mars in Virgo adds a touch of practical magic to the mix. Our dreams and desires are grounded in reality, urging us to take inspired actions to manifest our heart's desires. The cosmos is our canvas, and with Mars in the meticulous sign of Virgo, we become the masterful artists of our fate.
Navigating Cosmic Surprises:
Hold onto your starry hats, because an electrifying square to Uranus in Taurus injects a surge of unpredictability into the choreography. It's like a lightning bolt, jolting us out of our comfort zones and into uncharted territory. The universe whispers, "Embrace the unexpected, for it holds the keys to your growth and evolution."
A harmonious biquintile to Neptune in Pisces adds a touch of ethereal magic to the Leo New Moon's dance. It's as if our dreams and intuitions become the guiding lights, leading us toward profound insights and creative inspiration. Neptune's watery realm merges seamlessly with Leo's fiery spirit, igniting a spark of divine imagination within our souls.
The Dance of Transformation:
As the Leo New Moon forms a triseptile to Pluto in Capricorn, the energetic tides usher in a transformative wave. It's a timely nudge, encouraging us to shed old layers and step into our authentic power. Just as the phoenix rises from the ashes, we too have the opportunity to rebirth ourselves, embracing the full spectrum of our being.
Rays of Healing Light:
Amidst the celestial whirlwind, the Leo New Moon extends a healing embrace with a trine to Chiron. It's a gentle reminder that our wounds are not our weaknesses but rather our sources of strength. Just as the Moon's light bathes the night in a soft glow, Chiron's energy illuminates our path to self-discovery and self-acceptance.

Embrace Your Inner Maverick:
As the Leo New Moon is also trine to Eris, the rebel, and the North Node, we're invited to embrace our inner maverick and venture courageously along our path of individuality. Eris challenges the status quo, inspiring us to question norms and dare to be different. It's a call to step out of our comfort zones and into the arena of authentic self-expression, where our unique quirks and qualities shine like stars in the night sky.
Navigating Tension Between the Fixed Signs:
Between the degrees of 20° to 26°, the fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius) experience a subtle tension during this Leo New Moon. It's as if the universe is challenging us to find a harmonious balance between stability and change, inviting us to dance on the tightrope between the familiar and the unknown.
The House Matters:
This Leo New Moon takes residence in a specific house of your birth chart, casting its luminous glow on a particular area of your life. Whether it's relationships, career, creativity, or self-expression, this Sun/Moon conjunction brings opportunities for growth and transformation. Curious about its impact on your unique blueprint?

After the Moon Enters Virgo: The Moon is set to go void-of-course right after its enchanting union with the Sun. For optimal results, I recommend waiting until the Moon enters Virgo at 4:14 p.m. PDT today, August 16th. This window extends until August 19th at 1:51 a.m. PDT when the Moon trines Pluto. During this period, your intentions can be imbued with the practical and transformative energy of Virgo and Pluto, setting the stage for meaningful manifestations.
As the Moon Enters Libra: Another auspicious opportunity arrives as the Moon gracefully enters Libra at 4:53 a.m. PDT on August 19th. This window remains open until 1:31 p.m. PDT on August 21st when the Moon sextiles the Sun. During this time, the harmonious vibes of Libra infuse your intentions with balance and grace, while the Moon's sextile to the Sun amplifies your intentions' potential to shine brightly.
Remember, the cosmos is a symphony of energies, and by aligning your intentions with these cosmic windows, you're creating a harmonious resonance that can amplify your desires and dreams. So, grab your pen and paper, bask in the celestial melodies, and let your intentions flow like stardust into the universe. Your majestic journey begins now!
