This last month in Moon ruled Cancer, we have been nurturing ourselves and others. We took time to “take stock” of where we are in life and perhaps make some decisions. We grounded into home and family so we can once more emerge and get down to business – whether thatis a great summer bash or literally back to busness.
We have moved into sun-ruled Leo, a sign that is about the self, but not so much in a reflective way. Leo is a sign that moves out from the self, rather inward. Do you see the rhythm? The in-breath and the out-breath; lunar to solar.
This is the traditional holiday time in Canada – the end of July and beginning of August, and Leo is an active sign that enjoys a good time. This is the time for a summer romance – Leo likes it intense – as hot as a summer day.
Leo is known as the Lion – courageous, loyal and royal. When those born under this sign are in their element, aligned with true Leo, they radiate self-confidence, leadership, strength and stamina. Leos can be powerful people – they have that potential. Leo’s can be very determined and focused people – great attributes if we want to move forward.
Leo loves to be in the limelight – getting the attention. When confident and standing in their power, they are a great addition to any party or endeavor. They just have to take care not to move into self-centredness or ego.
People born under this sign are often creative. They love to express themselves through the arts and various projects. This seems to be an aspect of Leo that is being underlined this year. We are being asked to step into our creativity, to experience more creativity in our lives. So, pick up a paint brush, do a collage, learn to knit. Whatever tweaks your interest.
Leo’s are very loving, encouraging others with kindness. They are loyal friends and partners and can be quite generous.
Physically, Leo rules the back and spine, the heart, exhaustion and inflammation.
If you are setting intent this New Moon, her are some samples:
- I am asking to develop strong, benevolent leadership qualities, inviting people to follow me, not demanding.
- I am asking to be guided to the best healing techniques, guides and products to heal my back and spine.
- I am asking to realize self-confidence and stepping into my power in order to follow through with my plans, goals and creative ideas.
- I am asking to have a joyful fun vacation this year.
