You are a Star! New Moon in Leo, 23rd July at 0 degrees.

The New Moon, Sun and Mars are all in the fire sign of Leo. The Sun in Leo shines at its brightest and is at its most powerful in his own sign of Leo. The Sun together with the Moon are arm in arm, at the same degree. Bestowing the Moon and us all, with a powerful burning love and healing energy of light. Burning away the past.
It’s time for us to recharge and shine.

The next four weeks are dominated by all things Leo. It’s time to shine and bring more happiness, joy and a touch of glamour into your life, because you deserve it. Leo is the ruler of the Sun and just like the Sun, its time to take center stage. Put yourself in focus and just as the Sun does not orbit around other planets, we too need to stop orbiting around others and concentrate on cultivating a healthy ego and our own magnificence.

It’s time to celebrate yourself!

The past few weeks have been trying, tense and often emotional, as Mars in Cancer has been making tense aspects to Pluto and Uranus. Digging deep in all that was hidden and toxic, bringing much to the surface. Making the truth impossible to no longer ignore. Finishing off any left or unresolved emotional business.

Now is the time to leave this all behind and shine.
This New Moon and Mars in Leo in the fire sign of Leo, are a cosmic gift to expand our heart energy and joy.

Leo represents the Sun and our life-force creative energy. Leo`s live life straight from the heart. They are Charismatic, generous, open-hearted, lovers of life, love and fun.

The New Moon in Leo, is a joyous, rebirthing time and re-set in the areas of joy, creativity, success and self-expression.

Something amazing is taking place at this New Moon in Leo. it’s not just that a new positive cycle is starting, but with Mars conjoined to this New Moon and a total Solar Eclipse taking place in the sign of Leo on the 21st August, we are literally being ushered at full speed and force into a whole new way of thinking, living and life style, that is infused with the positivity, of all things Leo.

This is a gift from the universe that enables us to wipe the slate clean and step into our power. Not only do we have two New Moons this year in Leo, when there is usually only one, but this New Moon is at the special degree of 0 initiating powerful new beginnings. Also, the solar eclipse in Leo on the 21st August is at the significant last degree of 29. Indicating a time that could potentially and radically, change our lives for the better. Since Mars enters the sign of Leo only approx every two years, the chances of having the New Moon in Leo and Mars in Leo at the same time at the potent degree of 0, are once in a life time, not to mention a solar eclipse in Leo in the same month.

Stay open to what ever opportunities may come your way this month and go with it. Go with everything that excites your soul, even throwing caution to the wind. It could be the beginning of something wonderful. There is so much potential for magical, wonderful surprises this month.

Uranus in a tense aspect to the New Moon is pushing for changes, to finally leave your comfort zone and old patterns of behaviour behind, while Mars is impatient and eager for adventure and a new start. Mars, the warrior planet in Leo, give us the courage, drive and optimism to initiate new changes and to take every opportunity that may come our way.

We have every reason to celebrate, whatever our current situation maybe, things will get better and lighter for us all,
Leo’s are open-hearted and generous. Lovers of life, love and fun.

It’s time to generate some serious, loving and fun energy, sending out those loving, healing vibes just enough to rock the world of others as well as your own.

Just as the Sun, we each have an eternal flame of light burning inside of us. We can let that flame burn even brighter now. We now have a powerful opportunity to generate and create even more love, joy, passion, openheartedness as well as a love for life.

We can tap into the universal and cosmic love that is all around us. By shining our light and love to others, we create and receive even more.
We can rekindle the simmering, slow-burning flame into an inferno of passion and joy for life.

Our power of attraction is at its strongest when we shine. So shine and attract, what your heart desires. Whether it be love, happiness or good luck. We have the power now, to attract those things into our life.

Don’t ever dim your light for anyone. People who constantly dim your light with negativity have ultimately a choice to shine with you or without you.

The world needs us to shine with confidence and to not doubt ourselves. No one benefits if we put our light in the shade.

We are not on Earth to hide in the shadows, but to shine brightly in any possible way we can. In our own unique way. Its time to end self-doubt and believe in ourselves.
Leo teaches us to love ourselves first of all, only then can we shine our light helping to uplift others. We need to indulge ourselves with self-care and recharge our batteries. So if you are feeling burnt out by past events, take time off to do the things that do you good the most.

We need to be aware of people, things, circumstances that drain our energy. Setting healthy boundaries. This applies to the people around us as well as the influx of too much negativity in the media.

Uranus and Leo want us to break out of routine do something inspiring and that we love. To follow where the love and our passions lead us too.

Uranus is helping us to step outside of our situation gaining a new perspective, from a bird’s eye view. Finding new solutions to old problems.
Leo in his highest form, has a healthy ego as opposed to a false or narcissistic ego.
A healthy ego is based on self-love and respect. Believing in yourself with self-confidence and in your innate talents as well as your uniqueness. There is only one of you who has a special part to play in life. By shining our own light, we help and inspire others to do the same. A healthy ego is based on the love of others wanting to genuinely help and inspire others.

We can all have a piece right now of Leo’s immense personal magnetism and ability to create love and light. Their soul’s purpose is to uplift and inspire others.

It’s about finding our inspiration and joy, awakening our inner child, where we once knew everything was possible. And teaches us, that to embrace life fully, we need to stay open-hearted.

This New Moon and the next four weeks, is a wonderful time for romance, fun and play. Any social activities, as well as love, will be ramped up by this fire Moon and and Mars . Important synchronicities, people, opportunities and new loves can enter our life now and the weeks leading up to the second eclipse on the 21st of August.
Each eclipse brings a new lesson with it to learn and to master; it’s a chance to move up to the next level of our development.

Existing relationships can benefit from a magical, romantic and dynamic energy, upgrading all relationships to the next higher level.

This month fully activates the change of the North Node into the sign of Leo after 19 years, from May 2017 until Nov 2018. It’s all about you now, actively co-creating your heart’s desire and the life that is right for you. Self-love and self-care are now a top priority. A complete shift in energy, that we will begin to feel more and more in the coming weeks. We will experience a heightened sense of adventure and optimism in love and life.

If you have been shy about putting yourself and your talents out there and in the public eye, over the next 16 months you will find yourself daring to do the things that you never thought possible before. The universe will be conspiring to push you gently towards more success and to put you in the limelight, likewise, if you have been waiting for success or a breakthrough. It’s time now to simplify our lives and make our lives less complicated, leaving more room for joy and creativity.

The North Node in the sign of Leo is one of the best placements possible, as the collective karmic assignment is to have more fun and bring more creativity into our lives

The wheel of karma is turning now, opening up a powerful energetic window for positive change, surprising opportunities and meetings in all areas of life. The universe will be supporting you by instigating chance meetings and Synchronicities that have the potential to change the course of your life.

Mercury conjoined to the North Node of fate and in positive aspect to Uranus, helps us to discover our own unique specialness and dare to express it. The power of self-expression has the effect of helping to attract like-minded people into our lives and gives them the courage to do the same. Something magical happens when we do this and people with common goals and dreams come together. This is when we begin to change our world and the world of others for the better.

It’s time to to get passionate about things that really matter to you. To do the things you love and that make you feel alive.

“I think that we are like stars. Something happens to burst us open, but when we burst open and think we are dying; we’re actually turning into a supernova. And then when we look at ourselves again, we see that we’re suddenly more beautiful than we ever were before!”
