A New Moon happens on August 4, 2024 (7:13 PM, Philippine Time), at exactly 12°34 minutes in the realm of Fixed Fire, LEO, the sign of the King.
The New Moon signals the start of a new lunar phase, representing an opportunity for renewal and initiation. It’s a time for setting intentions, planting seeds for the future. This moment presents a chance to deeply consider our priorities and devise strategies to bring our aspirations to fruition.
A sweet, blissful New Moon aligns for us this month, dear reader. Luna is once again in the arms of her beloved, this time in the Sun’s home sign of Leo, the sign of the king! As with all New Moons, the energy is ripe for new beginnings; setting intentions under this luminary rendezvous is akin to planting seeds in fertile soil, nurtured by the perfect conditions of Leo’s regal warmth. What is planted grows wonderfully! Just as the Moon waxes, so too will your intentions, flourishing just as the Moon gains strength and full clarity.
This month, we are blessed with an exciting, expansive New Moon that allows us to focus on our heart center. In the realm of the king, Luna focuses on self expression and self love, as she recharges her light with a glorious Leo Sun, strong and generous in his own domain. The world is a stage and life, a performance, where Leo is concerned, and under the influence of this embrace, we experience a little bit of flair for drama and glamour, after all, Leo energy is big and theatrical; it is animated, overtly expressive, and wildy creative!
No New Moon is exactly like another, dear reader, much like how we never cross the same river twice. This New Moon engages in a unique combination of interactions with other planets, adding to the distinct flavor of this lunation. As always, lets look deeper into these aspects:
VENUS Co-PRESENCE
This lunation exchanges exciting, supportive conversations with 3 other planets. First up, a co-presence with VENUS.
As the New Moon takes place, VENUS, the planet of love, beauty, artistry travels through the last degree of Leo, spending its last moments here enjoying this inchanting spectacle. Venus at the anaretic (29th) degree signifies a critical moment of decision and transformation in matters of love, beauty, and relationships. This degree is often seen as a threshold, urging us to let go of outdated patterns and step into a new chapter with confidence and passion!
During this time, we may experience a strong desire to express our true selves, pursue creative projects, and nurture our romantic relationships. The New Moon, symbolizing new beginnings, aligns perfectly with Leo’s call for bold action and heart-centered living. However, with Venus at the critical degree, there might be heightened emotions and dramatic shifts in our personal relationships, calling for introspection and clarity.
MARS and JUPITER
Luna engages in a double sextile (60 degrees) with a JUPITER-MARS conjunction in GEMINI. This energy is excitable, and full of zest, driving us to explore new avenues with enthusiasm and curiosity! Jupiter expands our horizons, inviting us to think big and seek opportunities that resonate with our ambitions. Mars, the planet of action and assertiveness, injects vitality and courage into our endeavors, helping us take decisive steps forward.
Under this alignment, ideas come easily and conversations are lively, with the spirit of adventure permeating air. It’s a great opportunity to start new projects and team up with others, as you enjoy exploring new possibilities together. The double sextile aspect highlights harmony and cooperation, encouraging us to work together and chase our goals with a positive attitude and robust vigor!
EMBRACING THE ENERGY
Under this vibrant New Moon in Leo, we all have the opportunity to shine a little brighter, dear reader; it’s the perfect moment to focus on self-love and empowerment! Leo’s warm, radiant energy encourages us to bask in our own light, reminding us that true brilliance begins within. When we take the time to celebrate our unique qualities and nurture our inner strength, we transform not only our own lives but also but also become guiding lights for others seeking inspiration. This lunation is a powerful reminder that we can’t pour from an empty cup; by empowering ourselves first, we unlock the ability to uplift and inspire those around us!
Let Leo’s energy inspire you to embrace your true self and revel in your journey, dear reader, knowing that doing so uplifts and empowers those around you. Shine brightly and seize this opportunity for self-discovery, letting the potent energy of the New Moon guide you toward a future filled with confidence, joy, and fulfillment! Remember, the world needs your light, and it all begins with nurturing your inner flame. Take this time to let your brilliance shine, and watch as your radiance inspires others to reach their fullest potential.
