New Moon in Leo

Wednesday, August 12 @ 11:36 (MTN)

Happy New Moon, solar eclipse, and last day of the Lion’s Gate portal!

New moons are potent times of transformation. It’s a time of reminding ourselves that we are brave enough to call in newness, to reveal what is already ours, and to claim our destiny. This New Moon is also a solar eclipse - meaning that this energy is even more potent and transformative. Allow it to slingshot you into the rest of your life. What are you feeling ready to bring into your sphere?

It is also the last day of the Lion’s Gate portal, which is a powerful time of the year that calls in magnetic energy. Manifest during this time. The combination of the new moon, solar eclipse, and Lion’s Gate portal is POTENT. It’s a portal that reminds you of your personal power and what is truly important to you. Use it to step into your dream life. Visualize the portal and what is on the other side of it. Imagine yourself stepping through it.

Leo is all about main character energy. There is a reason why so many people stop and stare at sunsets and sunrises. The world truly does revolve around the sun. Ruled by the sun, Leos are loyal, passionate, and vibrant. These fire signs are confident, generous, and are proud that the world revolves around them - (just like how it revolves around everyone). Careful with this - use this knowledge as a strength and not a weakness. You are the main character in your life, but not the main character in everyone’s life.

Picture your life like a movie. Think about everything that has happened this year, the last few years, last six months, whatever you feel most called to do. You are the main character of this movie (duh, it’s your life). What would the audience watching want the main character to do?

Think of your dream life. What do you wear, what are your routines, your habits, your friends, your hobbies? Map out your entire dream life and start living it. This might be through the routines you start to build. It might be through check ins to ensure that the energy that you are putting out is the energy you want to be putting out. You are in control of your energy. It might be through the way you choose to express yourself, in whatever way that might be. Consider how you dress, how you speak, what you consume, what you put out. It’s all art and it’s all attached to you.

We are still smack dab in the middle of summer. The sun stays in the sky for a long time, warming and allowing life to relax under it. The days are still long, though they are growing shorter. The world is yours. It truly is. Act like it. Take advantage of the sun, the summer energy, the playfulness that feels like a swingset in the sunset.

There is a lot of energy swirling around today. Channel it. Reflect with it. Use it well and bravely. There’s truths we hold within us that are just barely underneath the surface. Be confident enough in yourself to trust yourself. You know what’s best, and you know what you authentically want.

And remind yourself: you are never too old, and you are never running out of time. Aaaand: you are forever in charge and the main character of your precious life.

One of my favorite quotes is: Actually, life is beautiful, and I have time. Let that be your mantra as you move through this season.

ALIGNED ACTION

Spend a morning acting as if you are being filmed for the movie that is your life. This will help you romanticize your life, first thing in the morning. What does the main character do first thing when they wake up? What do they wear, how do they fill their time, what is their routine? How do they move through their morning, regardless of what they are doing? Do all the actions with gratitude and joy. See what comes into your sphere and how your day goes while embodying gratitude. Living joyfully is powerful. The more you do it, the more that energy goes into your sphere. Continue practicing doing this.
