The New Moon of Leo – Love it!

The New Moon in Leo begins on Saturday, July 30, 2011 at 2:40 pm EDT (11:40 am PDT).

With this New Moon we are influenced by the fiery sign of Leo. It is ruled by the largest celestial body, the sun. So it’s no wonder that Leo’s have a strong desire to take center stage. This cycle is all about “the self” and is influenced by Leo’s attributes of leadership, hard work, generosity, creativity, adventure, and ceaseless energy. This is the perfect time to breathe new life into existing goals and evaluate your progress.

Self-expression is a big part of the Leo characteristics. How can you best express your talents? Leo supports us as we build self-confidence and discover hidden talents and dreams. Allow the inner-child to step forward and embrace the playful nature of Leo. Use the passion of Leo to follow your dreams, create new relationships or rejuvenate existing ones.

With this fiery sign we have a great opportunity to make big changes that will last beyond this lunar cycle. Let go of the schedules and time-lines, allowing this creative, playful energy to enhance your goals by bringing in new inspiration. Collectively we humans are primed for big changes, so watch any fears or doubts that surface. They are keeping you stuck in old patterns instead of creating the break-through moments that create a new path.

The New Moon is the time for new beginnings, a clean slate, planting new seeds, and is the perfect time to revisit existing goals or beginning new ones. This Leo New Moon is intense compared to the flowing energy of the Cancer cycle we’re just leaving. You may experience a new found strength that fuels your progress. It may just be the boost of energy you’ve been waiting for.

What do you want to create? Where is your attention focused? What specific situations are coming up that need your consideration? These are the questions you should be asking yourself over the next couple of days as you prepare for the New Moon. Although you may have one agenda, your Higher-Self may be bringing up what you actually need to face.
