Welcome to the 2023 Leo New Moon. 

 

Once a year we have an opportunity to launch passion, pleasure, joy, creativity, and self-esteem on the Leo New Moon.   After 29 days where so much of our actions in the Cancer cycle were done based on what felt ‘comfortable’.   With Leo, our actions are bold and are driven by desires so strong that we are willing to get out of our comfort zone and do something.   

 

Leo is connected to the Sun which is critical to life on our planet.  Leo understands that which is vital and worth protecting and is associated with acts of bravery.   Even when scared, Leo says, “time to be brave.”      This year we have already been circling the power of Leo since July 22 when Venus began its retrograde in Leo.   Every eight years the Leo New Moon is influenced by a Venus Leo retrograde cycle.    During this Venus retrograde we are really centering and answering the questions: “What do I love doing?  What do I love experiencing?  How am I expressing my love through my creativity?   “Am I being appreciated?  Is my value understood?”    

This is all Leo and we have been percolating in it since the end of July and will continue until mid-September.  So, it makes sense that a Leo New Moon launching in this landscape is a bit more juiced up then the usual Leo New moons.   Going back 50 years, you may want to think back what was going on with you around the mid-summer of 2015, 2007, 1999, 1991, 1983, 1975 and 1967.   What do those summers say about creativity, love, joy, being bold, being big, being the center of attention, being valued, being brave?
