Sun &Moon at 5°38′ Leo

Allow yourself to be nurtured by the source, the center of our star system, the all encompassing Sun that bringer of life in the mild climate. And the scorching burning force melting the crust away (malefic Sun of Vedas) making us soft, playful, light or delightful! Making us glimmer and spark so that the inner source shines once the layer of conditioning is removed.
This Leo New Moon (aka Ashlesha Nakshatra in Vedic which sees the Sun in ancient dark demonic ways) is your call to break the consensual reality spell, and simply be the one you have been dreaming about. Through the Sun’s transit in Cancer connected to the realm of Piscean Neptune, what did you learn from the intense Full Moon of July 13th? Can you hold your power strong and firm so it serves you? Can you say no to the encroaching demands and yes to yourself? Can you navigate this reality from the grounded awareness of your own unique self?
Leo season is here for you to cherish your creative being. Have fun and like a true Lioness shine that inner light onto others with the power of the Mighty Jupiter supporting you with that truly cosmic trine from Aries!
With this New Moon in early Leo we are embracing the sphere of creative expression, joy and pleasure. A new lunar cycle presents an opportunity to start new projects and to find new layers of energy within to inspire you towards becoming your authentic self. The portals to the essence of our souls are open, and we are invited to explore the creative life in search of self-discovery, satisfaction, and as a result, more authentic connection to all beings.
We have been transformed within the last few weeks through dramatic events (Pluto conjunct Moon opposing the Sun and Mercury Full Moon July 13th), and now we begin a new cycle with an enhanced sense of power and self understanding.
The Sun symbolizes our identity, individual destiny, and the power of creative expression, which are the qualities attributed to the sign of Leo: self-expression, self-knowledge, self-realization. The energy of this New Moon directs us towards the deeper psychological and spiritual meaning of the Sun where the conscious and unconscious unify in a person. In Jungian psychology this state of unity is symbolized by the Self, also representing the Psyche. As we experience the New Moon we are blessed with an opportunity to readjust.
Psychologically and symbolically, it’s the time of realigning our destinies with the Sun on the quest of self-realization. The energy of Leo activates your sun sign, so if your Sun is in Cancer in the 9th house it supports your expression through foreign travels, bringing teaching and publishing opportunities in search for true meaning; if your Sun is in Capricorn in 5th house, SheUniverse will boost your creative expression enhancing your joyful sharing and placing you in a spot light.
