On July 23, we will have a new moon in Leo. Remember that the moon represents our unconscious, the relationship with the mother, our sense of belonging to the world and our deepest emotions. On this date, we will have the energy of the New Moon. Let us remember that each lunar phase influences us in different ways. In this case, the new moon indicates the beginning of a new cycle, an opening, in which we will be entering a process of transformation.
As we begin in the energy of this moon, it is important to keep in mind that we should not make drastic decisions or assume positions or responsibilities. It is important to take the beginnings calmly and take advantage to reflect on where we are headed and with what energy we are working to achieve our goals. On this date, we will have not only the Moon in Leo, but also the Sun and Mars. If we could see the energy charge of the elements in this day, we will see that there are a lot of fire elements. This means, a lot of impulsive energy that will allow us to go forward.
New Moon in Leo:
The new moon will be in the sign of brightness, of the lion, of what we want to show the world. There is a lot of fire energy accumulated in Leo’s masculine sign. This generates that we are more in touch with our masculine vibration, in the search of standing out, grow and shine. We have to keep in mind that we must take advantage of this vibration to find ourselves, invest in ourselves and see what we really want. The new moon is a period where we are initiating something, and therefore, we have to work on finding what we really want for ourselves. In this way, we create a harmony between what the heart and the mind want. To the new moon, we have to help it; we have to become part of the process.
An important question is this: when we have the new moon along with the sun in Leo is when high expectations are generated. The energy of our star, the sun, is what makes us have these expectations. I understand that this is difficult not to have, but the lower the expectation and the greater the action, you will agree with me that you are much more likely to achieve your goals. At this beginning of the cycle, clarity of vision and awareness is important and working gradually towards achieving our goals. Remember that nothing is achieved overnight and that no moon is magic, it simply gives us the opportunity to open and work on what we need. Together with Leo, it will be a job to discover our talents, see our inner / outer beauty, and not be afraid to show it to the world, to make a mistake or to move forward.
Planets in Leo:
The planets we have in Leo are the Sun, the Moon and Mars. These three are known to be personal planets. As we have described the Moon, we will now see the Sun and Mars. In the case of Mars, let us remember that this is the planet of the man, of the masculine energy, of war and therefore of action. What this planet will do, is to intensify the courage and leonine brightness. It is important to work with the intensification of individualism, with showing our inner self. It is a state where we want to go all or nothing. We have to analyze what our true purpose, profession or desire is. It would be very helpful if we worked on the law of attraction, clarifying our vision and analyzing which is our energy and what we are attracting. For this, it is important to reflect on our beliefs, which often, limit us.
In the case of the Sun, this is the ruling planet of Leo. Therefore, we will feel this brightness much more intensified. We will have an overflow of energy and vitality very interesting to take advantage of. We will be dealing with a very dominant self. So the important thing is to get the juice to give us clarity of consciousness. Remember that, for internal clarity, we will have to work both this solar energy and the lunar.
Planetary Aspects:
Next, we will see what is known as “aspects”. These represent the angular relationships that exist between the planets. We will see some of the most relevant in relation to Leo. Anyway, I must clarify that these aspects are not something definitive in your life; it is simply an interesting energy that we can take into account if you feel identified with it in the days near / after July 23.
Sun Conjunction Mars:
We will feel that we do not have to give in to anything or anyone. We will be very active and willing to do many activities. The desire to grow and personal energy will be stronger than ever. We are going to want everything with urgency, but we have to keep in mind that we can`t always have everything “right now”. So it is important that if we feel this powerful energy, we know how to moderate it and use it to our advantage.
Sun Square Uranus:
This is another aspect that encourages our individualism. It gives us a very bold energy, maybe a bit transgressive, so we will have to learn to measure our reactions. In turn, this square will give us movement in our lives. You will have to learn to accompany everything that is added to your routine and take advantage of it.
Moon Conjunction Mars:
With this conjunction, we are uniting this energy of the new moon, an initiating energy, beginning of cycle with a very masculine planet. We will have to be careful with this combination as we may be much more susceptible to outside opinions, or we can take an advice/ point of view as a direct attack. It is best to take advantage of this conjunction in relation to the desire to experiment. If you are still not sure what you want to do in your life as a project or change, it is a good opportunity to try new things and see how you feel.
Mars Square Uranus:
This square is a kind of “bomb.” Mars generates a tension with Uranus, and produces a defiant character. It makes the person extremely solid and supportive of their opinions. You may not even hear the opinion or advice of others. This square will generate that you will want your opinion to be heard and defend it above all things. There is a need to highlight your point of view.
