LEO NEW MOON at 08°♌37′: Thu Aug 1, 2019, 03:12 UTC
♈ ♉ ♊ ♋ ♌ ♍ ♎ ♏ ♐ ♑ ♒ ♓
This New Moon may be an auspicious time for you redefine your future intentions, and you can benefit greatly from the sharing ideas with friends and acquaintances, various cliques and communities in which you may…
…play an important part. There is a peculiar feeling, however (some might say dread) that all you have come to know and depend upon in society, those trusted circles which once provided a steady footing for you, may be ready to abdicate their loyalty, even betray you as a member.
This uncertainty creates a suspicion and mistrust, which itself is rooted in subdued areas of transiency, death and rebirth. Hence, sudden changes in your intimate affairs can be triggered by events in your social life which are reflective of these themes.
There may be sudden legacies, perhaps due to a family bereavement which, in the pain of loss, can also offer opportunities which others may feel resentful towards. Business ventures or marriages may collapse, reminding you that nothing in life is forever. Still, you are filled with a sense of hope that any outlet that can create a forum for you to exhibit your formidable social prowess, which in itself can be threatening or offensive if it is likely to empower and validate your uniquely creative contributions about how to make this a better world.
Coming to Light:
It is healthy and wise that you not come to base your identity on the attention and approbation from such abstract groups as our ‘society’. With Uranus squaring from Taurus, chances are that things could just snap and leave you feeling empty, isolated and quite high and dry.
The Leo New Moon is here to help you to examine your role within your groups and associations a little more clearly. Inherently it is your uniqueness of being that makes you belong. In this light, you are re-minded that you are an intrinsic and vital part of creating humanity’s greater ideals for a brighter tomorrow.
This lunation is hence about you becoming aware that life is not just about gathering a bunch of lackeys and yes-dudes around you who will flatter or adulate your ego, bow and scrape to all your narcissistic needs with meaningless reinforcements and sycophantic actions.
Circles That Transcend:
Abolish any expectations that you will bolster and promote one another’s self-importance by playing into the same charade. It is more about going into the higher dimensional experience of gathering with like-minded souls, or forming communal relationships with people on every level of society.
Attention from others – having as wide an influence as possible may be ‘nice’, but it’s time to examine how it helps create a meaningful and ‘soul-minded’ group effort to produce something worthwhile and sustainable.
Note too, that you have a certain guile and social power – a certain adeptness to schmooze, dominate and manipulate within your social circles through the employment of clever diplomatic skills and Machiavellian behaviour. Be warned, that if you abuse this power for selfish, narcissistically insipid or politically divisive means, that you risk inviting your greatest nemesis into your affairs – that demon of drama, imbalance and disharmony.
This is a great opportunity for you to use your creative social prowess in an innovative, exciting fashion to bring all people together, and to create circles that transcend inequality and judgement based on superficial reasons.
New Moon Intention
I take pride in my ability to command my own destiny without allowing others to manipulate or dissuade me from pursuing my great vision.
It is my progressive outlook that is admired by others which then inspires them to assist me in my striving to become a shining example of what the future promises for one and all.
I will only look back upon my life to take the lessons from any past mistakes, choosing to let go of any residual pain, knowing that I must never repeat those mistakes in the future, nor hold a grudge against those who have come to teach me any valuable life lessons.
As much as I honour my parents, I acknowledge that their programming was mostly geared towards living up to their own standards and expectations, not mine. I will be the one who determines what standards are appropriate for my own, contemporary society and its needs for a brighter tomorrow.
It is my solemn insight that I can never really follow in anyone else’s footsteps – even those I admire the most. I must blaze my own trail down a road that has never been travelled before. In this way I will lead others who come to seek direction.
This journey is about following my own path. I must be mindful that my rebellious nature is not just a obstinate denial against the expectations of others.
I will look to find a suitable cause that I can champion which improves the social conditions of my family or community. I will fight to defend the rights and social justices of the underprivileged and oppressed for the sake of the higher good.
