The point of a New Moon is when the Sun and Moon seem to rise and set together creating a dark sky. Today’s New Moon in Leo is in a tight combust conjunction with fellow fire planet Jupiter. Fanning the flames further is Mercury in Cancer forming an out of sign conjunction. This dynamic new start happens with Luna at her apogee which is when she is at the furthest point from the earth.
The Sun represents our ego mind and the force that drives us to do and act. Jupiter is the expansive teacher of higher knowledge and far-reaching ideas. Having Jupiter in a fellow fire sign of Leo inspires good vibes and urges the self-esteem to act and “go for it!”
Mars in Scorpio squares the Sun and Moon today causing a necessary irritation to drive toward the good and true uniting of spirit. In addition the Goddess Vesta in Libra forms a separating square. She reminds us that what we thought fanned the flames of our hearts are moving into a more balanced and steady course.
July 31 Mercury joins the celestial gang in Leo. When the messenger spends time in the lion’s lair, he has a tendency to get a little too chatty. Mind your manners and think about the appropriateness of what you are about to say before you blurt.
The Full moon in August is called the Sturgeon Moon, known for its often blazing red color. The tribal fisher-people that named this lunation were grateful for the bounty of their efforts and planned wisely for the months to come. In other parts of the world she is known as the Green Corn Moon—a symbol of early usefulness and a promise for great potential. This Full Moon finds Luna in the colorfully mindful sign of Aquarius on August 10. Many are on summer break in the northern hemisphere and our friends in the southern portion of the planet are cozying up for the dark dreamtime of winter. We are all connected and therefor can utilize the suggestions of both ancestral lineages. Place extra attention on what you are accruing. Think ahead and save a bit of for the future.
August 15 Mercury returns to Virgo, one of his home signs. The discriminating mind can be critical and analytical. It can also become obsessed with detailed knowledge. This may be to our detriment in daily life, although it is very beneficial for doing any kind of research. Be precise in all communications with others.
The Sun is our source of life. August 22 the Sun moves gently into Virgo. The high energy and forward force of the last month can seem as if it is slowing to a halt. Stay focused on the little tasks at hand. Do your best to work meticulously and complete every job. Through this process you are able to develop a new set of positive habits. These in turn help with your advancement on all levels throughout the month. Little steps build a big bright new future, take your time and be patient!
