August New Moon in Leo
I'm not sure where you are, but here on the island, the wind and rain has abated, letting the sun shine, just in time to celebrate today's Leo New Moon! The Moon joins the Sun at 28 Leo, coming together tonight at 10:41pm EST.
Sitting alongside the Lights, is communicative Mercury. This collaboration in Leo brings the mind and heart together making it easier to express our true feelings. A loving and caring ease is brought to any conversation now, as long as the Leo ego is set aside. The courageous will of the lion can roar mightily in defense of self, children or loved ones.
While the Sun in Leo is filled with life force and vitality, desiring to express itself in a dramatic outgoing way, the Moon here is borrowing courage to take a risk and allow its innermost feelings to see the light of day. The power of these two archetypal energies aligned in fiery Leo can work together to make bold declarations of love, creativity and necessary change. Where are you needing to tap into your inner strength and ignite a spark?
Mars in Aries is forming a trine to the threesome in Leo, animating whatever is coming to life with a burning intensity that will continue to grow throughout this lunar month. Just know that all this fire energy requires a good dose of self-discipline and adjustment. Thankfully, Saturn is in the picture to apply the brakes to all this martian energy, while the Sun, Moon and Mercury are all in a quincunx aspect to Saturn helping us to regulate or fine-tune whatever we are adapting to.
I like the image of a kite in the chart for this New Moon, formed by the Grand Trine of Fire between Mars in Aries, the Sun, Moon and Mercury in Leo, aand the South Node in Sagittarius, connected by sextiles to the North Node in Gemini. This aspect pattern speaks to possibilities and inspiration, trust and faith which is inherent at this time, especially with words and interactions that support and encourage others. Perhaps it's the audacity of hope and change that I'm feeling. I hope you feel it too!
While finding time to enjoy the last weeks of summer, remember... keep your head in the stars and your feet on the ground.

Full Moon in Aquarius
Hang on to your hats people, because we're in for a bumpy ride and an unexpected turn of events under this Aquarian Full Moon that culminates today at 11:58 am EST! While Aquarius is the sign of groups, technology and independence, its' ruling planet, Uranus, is squaring off with both the Sun and Moon, highlighting a time of surprises, quirky behaviors and upheaval.
This is definitely not a run-of-the-mill Full Moon! With the Sun in his own sign Leo, there's a lot of energy around self-expression and willfulness. Watch out for overt egos to be declaring that it's their way, or the highway. On the other hand, leaders and authority figures with big hearts can be shining a light on the needs of those whom they are responsible for. Reach out to benevolent persons in key positions that can assist you. And, if you are one of those loving people, thank you for using your strength and courage to stand against tyranny, abuse and neglect.
With yesterday's Sun in Leo square Uranus in Taurus, we are challenged not to insist on having our own way at the expense of others, or to refuse to budge and meet others halfway. This may not be the time to lock down certain protocols or institute new overarching programs, but it could be the moment of seeing the light coming through the cracks where the greatest changes are needed. If you need to stand firm in your ability to express yourself, don't let anyone take that away from you.
Adopting a wait-and-see attitude while the repercussions of this week's shake-ups become apparent, can put you in a better place to make decisions after Mercury enters Leo tomorrow. Aggressive Mars wants to push us into something, but it would be wise to avoid his impulsiveness just now, as he is being the bully on the playground and challenging the biggest kid out there, Jupiter, who will mix it up with him, no matter the outcome. Don't make mountains out of molehills!
While Venus is getting ready to exit Gemini, where she has been since April 3rd, we need to ask ourselves... what has our communication and interactions with those nearest or dearest been saying about our intentions? Venus is making some minor aspects to the key players today - Sun, Moon and Uranus, and her subtle influences behind the scenes may go unnoticed with all the upheaval surrounding us. However, I feel it is important for our self-worth to be clear and honest with ourselves about what we are doing amidst all the changes. Can we feel uncomfortable and still align with our conscience to raise awareness of the corrections needed? Or, do we cave into self-doubt and fear?
