NEW MOON AT 16 DEGREES OF LEO 14′ ON AUGUST 8th, AT 9:50 AM EDT

The Sabian symbol for 16 degrees of Leo is the following:

“A handsome smiling man walks through the park with a Lion on a leash.The beast growls menacingly where upon the man jerks the leash and brings the animal under control.”

This symbol implies self-mastery; a new beginning that brings one’s “animal passions” under control, letting passions “off the leash” only when your desires resonate with your life’s central purpose.”

Leo is the sign most capable of dominating others through sheer force of personality. A natural performer known for expressing himself and his opinions strongly, Leo loves being in love. Born with more natural talent than most, Leo whole-heartedly embraces life and feels most comfortable expressing himself creatively and confidently. He’s proud and self-centered. Leo can be ferocious especially if he feels humiliated or overlooked.

This New Moon beginning is challenged by Uranus in the sign of Taurus, suggesting a new beginning with a few surprises – some “shocks to the system,” an update/upgrade you might not be fully prepared for – and ready to accept with open arms. Uranus moves you out of your comfort zone, encouraging a detached perspective or important “passage” into a more enlightened way of operating.

Both Leo and Taurus are incredibly stubborn. This new beginning promises both encouraging “highs” and frustrating “lows.”

It’s possible something something magical, fated, or “destined to be” will “invite you in.” A “Finger of God” or Yod
formation” “points directly to the planet Mercury in the sign of Leo.

This is a “not-so-subtle hint” pointing your focus in the direction of love – something more playful, receptive, or open-ended. It could be important to engage in a conversation that could lead in an exciting, romantically promising direction. Taking some risk with a bold revelation, something playfully creative, or flirtatious could open new doors

It might be time to express what’s in your heart, to pursue a conversation that involves a bold admission, or to creatively express yourself with more confidence. It might be necessary to take some risk as you push for something emotionally or physically liberating.

A grand “air trine” unites three planets – Saturn in innovative Aquarius, the North Node in expressive Gemini, and Vesta in balanced/negotiable sign of Libra. This seems to be the perfect combination for arriving at a brilliant but unorthodox decision or solution. Finding a new way to advance mutual goals is strongly supported.

The fixed star Dubhe exactly aligns with this new Moon. It’s an influence that urges you to provide support for another – possibly at some significant cost to yourself. You might feel a strong urge to be of help to someone who can benefit from the kind of knowledge you could provide.

Bernadette Brady defines the Moon/Dubhe alignment as the urge to give one’s support to another. Being drawn to a caregiving profession is indicated. Wanting to help others is a primary motivation.

But this cannot detract from the development of your own talents in ways that attract attention, admiration, and possibly a larger, more devoted audience.

This new beginning could enhance your self-image and your ability to speak in your own behalf.

Lastly Mercury in Leo opposes Jupiter retrograding in Aquarius. A flow of ideas and plans – one more “brilliant” than the next – seem too promising to ignore. This could lead you into an exhausting cycle especially if you’re not too discriminating. It’s good to re-consider before acting or over-committing.

(The most accurate horoscopes for each sign will likely be the one corresponding to the sign on your ascendent. If you don’t know which sign that is the “Cafe Astrology” sight has a calculator to help you figure it out. If I’ve read your chart in the past I’d be happy to give you the information. The alternative is to read the horoscope matching your Sun Sign.)
