Hello Earthlings!
The New Moon in Leo taking place on July 24th is a complicated Moon with a simple message — Show up for yourself. You are worth it.
Leo is the sign that is associated with the glorious Sun that brings life to our planet. Therefore, the people who carry this warm and noble sign, shine like the Sun. It is a generous sign of both heart and courage.
Leo is also famous to carry the creative energy that the Sun radiates. It is filled with the passion, and strength to follow through with these creative endeavors. This energy is accessible to all during the Leo season and particularly during a New Moon.
One of the most profound messages that Leo season brings, is to radically accept yourself. My first astrology teacher always said, “The trick to being Leo, is to show up.” Easier said than done but all so true.
The question of this Moon is how can you show up for yourself? How can you shine your light so that all can flourish, including yourself?
It is a common misconception that Leo’s need to suck all the air out of a room. I have done many readings on Leos that have said “I just don’t feel like a Leo because I don’t want the spotlight on me. I prefer not to be seen.”
The truth is that Leo’s don’t need to be the main character in the play of life, they just need to show up in THEIR life. Many Leos resist this, (after all they are a fixed, fire sign.) They hold themselves back from shining their light like they might be punished for it.
Then there is the other type of Leo that does suck the air from the room so that others can not shine their light. These are the ones that give Leo a bad rap. Their job, should they choose to accept it, is to break character and start using the Leo generosity to share the light.
Whatever Leo you resonate with, this Moon is pushing the boundaries to show up for yourself in a way that might be uncomfortable. Try to allow yourself to be seen for your authentic self and EMBRACE it!
Here are some ideas on how to shine that magnanimous Leo light, practice them all Leo season.
-Ask other people questions about themselves and listen to their responses without talking over them. This is a subtle and beautiful way to shine light.
-Wear something that you shoved to the back of the closet that makes you feel bold and brassy.
-Do something radically wonderful for you, such as take the afternoon off and play hooky or sign up for an art class.
-Get creative and dust off your old paint set or whatever.
-Go for a picnic with your loved ones instead of doing chores.
-PLAY! When is the last time you honestly did something frivolously playful?
This New Moon is also being pushed on by Pluto, the planet of the underworld in an opposition which is a polarizing energy. Plus Chiron, the asteroid of the original wound, is in this mix, so people are vulnerable and fragile. Tread lightly and shine gentle light.
But most importantly, show up for yourself! You are worth it.
