New Moon in Leo August 8th & August 8-14th Astrology

Sunday: This New Moon in Leo has a rad, rockin' aspect to Uranus in Taurus. Stuck energy may be rattled until it lets go, giving way to fresh and necessary perspective, opportunities and ways of being. We may find out that holding on is too painful or limiting, and brave steps must be taken. Some will find this wonderfully energizing and motivating while some may resist and feel fearful. Anxieties are likely with the Uranus effect. Mercury is also not far from New Moon and Sun, and so plans and decisions will go forward faster than you might expect. Leo is the sign of children, teachers, all who perform and share their art, and also leaders and people in politics. News and changes in these areas spark with Leo New Moon. It's a great time to plunge into new learning or commit to a program that starts in a month or even during the next 6 months.  One thing this New Moon may not bring is calm, settled, quiet feelings. Breathe well through shifts and changes, travels and studies. White is our New Moon color.

Monday: New Moon meets Mercury at 1:45 am EST, and opposes Jupiter at 8:23 am before moving void of course just until 10:56 am EST. The Jupiter opposition involves how big and bold to go, or how much to scale down. This may relate especially to events, educational plans and collaborative projects. Travel plans may come into question, such as do we go on the trip we postponed or do we wait longer? Jupiter is currently retrograde for revisiting questions and decisions in any of these areas. New Moon signals fresh approaches and feeling things with a renewed, open heart. Virgo Moon time begins, and tonight the Moon and Mars ignite step by step, organized plans and concrete action on your motivations and heart's desires. If it's not what you want, this is a time to do something about it. Venus opposes Neptune for romance, even if it's a fleeting connection. Artistic sensibilities stir. Monday's color is Indigo.

Tuesday: Virgo Moon aligns with Uranus in Taurus, the planet that was a huge influence on Sunday's New Moon. Uranus would be your spontaneous, maybe rebellious friend prompting you to just take the leap, brave the unknown, and shake everything up. Virgo Moon balances that with sensible and methodical approaches. Change it all up, but with a flexible plan and earth centered wisdom. Make the change real and tangible rather than holding onto a bunch of ideas you never take action on. Wear Brown.

Wednesday: Virgo Moon with an interesting trio of planetary aspects. First, Neptune and the Moon oppose. This could result in unreliability, whether it be people or plans that fall through. The upside could be romance and dreamy drifting today. The Moon also meets Venus. We may look for perfection in our lover and love life. It's also a good conjunction for working with detail and design. The Moon then aligns with Pluto giving life to our desires and dreams. Try not to hold back or be shy with what rises as truth and self expression, from inside. Be yourself. Let judgments dissolve as you feel what's authentic. Venus also joins forces with Pluto tonight for beautiful manifestations from the inner world of dreams and love. Virgo is about helping, serving and offering. Offer your gifts to the world unabashedly. All this before 7:22 am EST! Void Moon 7:22 to 4:08 pm EST. It might not be the finest time for accomplishing, but it could be an excellent time to drift and see where life takes you. Libra Moon follows, and Mercury moves to Virgo for a few weeks beginning at 5:57 pm EST. Today's color is Lavender.

Thursday: Serious decisions and negotiations are timed with this Libra Moon. The Moon and Saturn retrograde are in harmony. Revisit a collaboration, commitment, legal matter or other important decision. Remember that Sunday's New Moon continues to empower things begun or renewed this week and through August 22nd Full Moon. Today's color is Black.

Friday: Libra Moon in harmony with the Sun in Leo for extroverts, connections, social events, performances and even new romantic attractions and relationships.  Arts events are favored. Go out dancing or have your own dance party! Libra is a sign of grace and benefits from movement to dust out the mental cobwebs. Celebrate an achievement or decision made this week. Try not to let old anxieties get the best of your energy. Now is NOT then. Train your inner voice away from self criticism. Feel your place and connection with someone or within a group as the Moon and Jupiter form a happy trine. Void Moon 4:39 pm to 8:01 pm EST. Scorpio's emotional waters run deep tonight. That does not have to be a negative thing. Are you willing to delve deeper, feel more, understand fully? Wear dark Red, such as maroon and wine colors. 

Saturday: Scorpio Moon in harmony with Mercury and Mars in Virgo, square to retrograde Saturn, and opposite Uranus. Uranus electrifies whatever is brewing, and can lead to bursts of invention and creativity and to stubborn disagreements as well. Today could be difficult or magical, but one thing's for sure, it will not be boring or stagnant. We are rolling through changes. The Virgo planets help the planning and the actions. Think things out well, avoid unnecessary stubbornness, stay persistent with whom or what's most important and dear, and be willing to change on the fly if needed. Black is today's color. 

Sunday: Somehow Sunday snuck in again this week! I wrote it without thinking. This is an important day for me as my business Leaping Waters opens! And sure enough it's a Scorpio Moon engaging with 5 planets for a variety of emotions and influences. (My own Moon sign is Scorpio and New Moon was on my birthday one week back! My home was also purchased and moved into during a Scorpio Moon in the summer of 2000. There are no coincidences, really.) Bask in the chill waters of a Neptune trine which might help you paint something beautiful (and probably blue) or may lend itself to doing nothing much at all. The Moon aligning with Pluto is not much different. This all connects us to our inner world of dreams, imagination and feelings. Try not to rush anything. The Moon also squares the Sun in Leo and Jupiter retrograde in Aquarius. Creating and manifesting is the result if one works through the challenges or differences these squares highlight. Give it a bit of extra energy and see how a problem or block is actually the catalyst for something even better and more dynamic than the original idea. Finally at 11:05 pm EST, the Moon aligns with Venus for romance, love, and seeing eye to eye. Immerse yourself and engage fully in whatever is most important. Void Moon is only 7 minutes long and the Moon moves to Sagittarius then. Today's color is Purple.
