The Leo New Moon
Astrology by Lisa Stardust
The Leo new moon is an extremely positive time. Lucky and expansive Jupiter is heightening our passions and desires, by urging us to embrace self-love and to be compassionate to others. With the asteroids Ceres and Varuna being active, we are able to create the world we want. The key is that we must choose to nurture ourselves and others. It’s important to give love in order to receive the kindness we want. We will see how interconnected energy is at this time and understand that we get what we give. Therefore, it’s important to lead with an open heart and generosity.
THE NEW MOON IN LEO OCCURS ON JULY 28 AT 10:55 AM PT AND 1:55 PM ET.
WHAT TO MANIFEST DURING THE NEW MOON:
A better connection with ourselves is important now. Therefore, self-love is important to manifest during the Leo new moon. Write down all the sentiments that you love about yourself and don’t want to change on one piece of paper. And, on another piece of paper, write down the attributes that you wish to change. Please the piece of paper with all of the sentiments you wish to augment in a cauldron. Light the paper with a match and let it burn. Flush the residue down the toilet so that it is never seen again. All that should remain is the list of the positive sentiments that you feel about yourself. Fold that paper eight times and put it in a safe place. This will release you from negative thinking and bring positive energy into your life.
Create space on your altar for the Leo new moon with several gold candles and photos of yourself. Make this a shrine to yourself and meditate on calling in wonderful energy and happiness.
Connect with your inner child by participating in a hobby like making a collage with photos of yourself. You can even make a mood board by adding photos that align with your goals and hopes, along with photos of yourself.
Practice self-love affirmations by gazing in the mirror each morning and evening for a month and stating your personal mantra, which can be found below.
