Lunation Forecast, Wishes and Affirmations by Sign
The Leo New Moon comes like the proverbial light at the end of the tunnel, and a long strange trip it’s been- through the eclipses and their dark relating to the Saturn / Pluto meat grinder times. This Sun and Moon coupling is blessed by Venus conjunct in radiant Leo and boasts Uranus striking his lightning bolts into the week and the New Moon; bringing insights, illuminations and potentially a courageous Spirit to break free from old patterns of being and relating to ourselves.
The light of the moon is re-born heralding trickster Mercury moving direct in late degrees of Cancer. We aren’t by any means done with the process of restructuring and re-framing of the past and of our security, but for now-- we are moving out of the inward navel gazing. The ongoing Neptune in Pisces experience- of deep murkiness, depth and illusion made many of us feel we were almost lost in Cancer/Capricorn eclipses. Like a sacred torch held high for all to see- this Leo season has the potential to teach us how to keep going through the “Long Day’s Journey into Night”.
