This blog talks about the significance and potential opportunties associated with the New Moon in Leo.
Today there is a New Moon in the playful sign of Leo at 19 degrees. Leo is the sign associated with giving love and expressing oneself creatively. It is the most carefree, childlike sign in the zodiac.
A lunation here suggests new opportunities in areas having to do with romance, or with self expression. Pursuing one’s artistic passion is favored as are any activities that involve children, risk taking or adventure. Depending on what house this New Moon falls in your natal chart, you will find an opportunity to create something new.
Tonight’s lunation has an interesting twist however in terms of love. Neptune, the planet of illusion, confusion and transcendence is tightly opposing this New Moon. Collectively, we seem to be more confused about romantic matters than usual and the potential for being deluded in love is strong. The dream of love may be more satisfying than the reality.
Since Venus, the planet of love, is retrograde at the time of this New Moon, it emphasizes the deeper internalization of our emotions when it comes to romantic matters. While new opportunities are sure to emerge for some of us in love, I caution you to keep your eyes wide open over the next few weeks. What you see will not be what you get.
In terms of creativity, we are all so infused with the desire to create and there is certainly ample energy to do so. The creativity may or may not have a backbone of structure behind it, depending on what is happening in your personal birth chart but this energy is so amazing for creation that you must jump on the opportunity nonetheless.
Whether or not anything materializes from it is almost beside the point. Try not to worry about the results. This month, the joy lies in the creative process itself.
