being rocked by Mother Moon?
The past week: We’ve been clearing the decks...old resistance has been dropping away!...finally!
A welcome New Moon arrives on 18th, after a week of
shifts and turns, manifestations of karmic balance, the resolution of
imbalances, personally and globally.
Trusting that your little inner child ‘rode’ the dark
of the moon challenges which rolled in from Wednesday 15th.
The planetary shifts were powerful and insistent,
challenging us to ‘take action’, verbally/physically and internally with those
demanding voices of past experience and old belief systems. We were called to
validate ourselves and heal our hearts, release karmic burdens.
Hopefully, our spiritual warriors have risen readying
to the call to be fully in truth, readying to take authority of ourselves and
bring that authority and mastery into the world. Hopefully,you’ve experienced a
deep heart healing around sense of self, self-esteem and confidence.
The colour for the past week – the
violet flame of freedom, which releases and transmutes the old stuck
energies. The freedom flame is washing over this
planet and releasing so much for us all.
With the
clearance of these days leading up to the New Moon, I imagine that at the New
Moon on 18th we can all join in singing ‘Feelin’ Good’...or something
appropriate for your generation/musical preferences. Whatever gives you the
sense that you are in new territory.

It’s a New Moon week and the New Moon is in Leo which
rules, among other things, children. How’s your little inner child travelling?
Do you check in with him/her regularly? The purity of the child can inspire and
guide us to new creative possibilities if we listen.
Leo also rules creativity, romance...lighthearted,
stimulating FUN! Remember that word????
The Sun is the ruler of
Leo, and represents our masculine self in the world. It’s energy is all about
personal expression, creativity and our ‘divine’ child, the purest essence of
inner child. Yes, the Sun is the outer expression of our ego, something we need
to evolve if we are going to be ourselves in the world. Remember, let your
soul, higher self take the lead and the ego can strut it’s stuff in the best
possible way.
Inner self aligns with outer expression: Now, with a new Moon in Leo we’re being called to bring forth the inner, possibly untapped, unexpressed creativity and find the platform for expressing it in the world. At the new Moon, the Sun and Moon are united at the same degree in Leo. Leo is about the lion energy, inner strength and courage and heartfelt expressions of love.
Take heart, take courage: Remember the lion in
‘The Wizard of Oz’ wanted a heart for courage.
Trust yourself to shine: When we
draw on the inner Leo energy, we shine from within rather than overpower and
burn others with a bloated ego. We need our ego to take us forward and the
energies at this New Moon are assisting us in getting the balance right, so we
take authority without being overbearing.
Ongoing planetary activity from last week impacting on us at the New Moon:
........taking your authority! laying the
building blocks for your new direction, your rediscovered
self!
This is a great combination and support for us taking
on some of those creative projects and ideas which have been frothing around in
the back of the mind. These projects/ideas are ones which excite you, which are
directly related to your heart’s desires. Leo rules heart energy so this new
moon has the potential to bring your heart to life, to reinvigorate it, and
along with Mars fire and Saturn commitment, give you the sense that this
heart-filled dream has a real possibility of fulfilment on the physical level.
This has been happening especially this past week,
as the dross of the deep past is cleared from the heart and mind. Uranus is the
new broom that sweeps away the out-dated ‘old order’, the parts of us that have
gone past their ‘use-by’ date!
Uranus brings surprises, unexpected change, shocks
(not necessarily nasty) which get us moving, get us to grow
into new forms. It opens up our higher mind...guiding us to the high
road!
Time to speak up...from the heart! Be true to
yourself! Overblown prideful energy drops away when we speak from the heart
because people hear the truth of who we are.
Show your true colours, be who you are, feel the
freedom: draw on your inner
strength, courage and self-confidence as you prepare to stand up and be counted
for who you are and what is important to you. Be all the colours of the
rainbow...whole and a complete ‘package’ of YOU!
Sabian Symbol for the New Moon:
Sabian Symbol for the New Moon:
25-26 deg Leo
After The Heavy Storm, A Rainbow
After The Heavy Storm, A Rainbow
The Sabian Symbol for the Sun and Moon at 26* Leo is: As light breaks through the clouds, a perfect rainbow forms. This image promises that once we have weathered the storm (last month’s Cancer New Moon: A violent storm in a canyon filled with expensive homes) we will find the promise of a deep connection between heaven and earth. With the knowledge that Spirit is all around us in the material world, we can begin to live out of our own spiritual essence, no matter what our culture expects or demands of us. We can choose from all the rainbow colors of possibilities our spirit has to offer. We discover our true Worth – not in terms of patriarchy’s sole reliance on money, but in terms of our inner gold.
The colour for the next week...next lunar month: Yellow!...how’d you guess!
Daffodils for the Southern Hemisphere...end of Winter/beginning of
Spring
Autumn yellows for the Northern Hemisphere...end
of Summer, beginning of Autumn
A couple of quotes which align with the Leo energy and particularly in line with these New Moon Energies:
From Maya Angelou: Courage is the most important of all virtues, because without courage you can't practise any other virtue consistenly. You can practise any virtue erratically, but nothing consistently without courage.
From Gore Vidal: Style is knowing
who you are, what you want to say and not giving a damn.
Upcoming Dates:
23rd August: Sun moves into Virgo
24th August: Mars moves into Scorpio
All for this week,
Love and blessings to everyone on the yellow brick road
with the courageous lion and fellow pilgrims!
We got our magical red shoes last week...now the courage, the heart, the mind and then home to Kansas!
