New Moon in Leo: Opportunity Knocks

“Luck is what happens

when preparation meets opportunity.”

~ Seneca, 1st C. Roman Philosopher

On Saturday, July 26, we have a very special New Moon in the fire sign of Leo the Lion, but the energy is already kicking in due to the close presence of Jupiter in Leo. Like all New Moons, this is ‘seed planting time,’ when we are asked to break ground on new projects that will bear fruit over the following 28 day cycle.  But this time, we are in for an extra-big wallop of good cheer and positive power. The jovial planet Jupiter, who brings expansion, luck, and growth, is conjunct the New Moon, beaming even more strength to the Sun. It’s like having a double-whammy lunation of opportunity!

Even if you don’t live on the West Coast of the United States where temperatures are rising, the heat is surely on in your life as Jupiter and the New Moon in Leo want you to shine, shine, shine. Have you been hiding your light under a bushel? Now is the time to stand up and be counted, and receive the blessings that the Universe is just falling over itself to gift to you!

Jupiter is HUGE. This planet, whom I like to call the Lucky Uncle benefactor, weighs more than all the other planets and moons in our solar system combined! In fact, Jupiter is so heavy that if just a little nuclear fusion had occurred inside of him when our solar system was forming, he would have exploded into a second sun! (This happens in other solar systems, scientists say. A planet becomes a star due to intense fusion in such a large body.) Like a sci-fi movie, we would have looked up at the sky and seen Sun One and Sun Two! That is how powerful Jupiter is… and so, for this New Moon, the heat is definitely ON.
 
Leo’s motto is “I Create.” This is not limited to arts, crafts, music, writing – all activities we traditionally associate with “creativity.” Rather, the creation talent of Leo is UNLIMITED SELF-EXPRESSION. Leo models for us the power of self-actualization, and self-realization, through expressing the essence of one’s very heart and soul. Leo is bold, playful, impactful, and unique. We never forget the presence of a Lion-hearted in our lives. And, no matter what our Sun, Moon, or Rising Sign, we all have Leo energy in our constitution somewhere.

This New Moon is all about letting go of the barriers and blockages in the way of full recognition of your self-expression.  And Lucky Jupiter, who just danced into Leo to party for a full year (!), is here to prod us on and shower us with gifts. Gifts all around! It’s like Christmas in summer!

We only have to make one promise. Do you know what that is? We must promise to RECEIVE that which we are offered, whole-heartedly, without shame, guilt, or question. It is your birthright to receive the goodness now. Simply say YES. Put yourself out there, now, my dear friend. Make the call, send the letter, sign the contract. It could be a business deal, a proposal of marriage, a sweet job offer, or even a healthy new lease on life.

This New Moon in Leo, combined with Jupiter’s grace, requires us to do something with all the Luck pouring in, raining pennies from Heaven. This is by far the best lunation of the year, super-powered by generous Jove.

Take the risk, roll the dice, and say, “THANK YOU!” You got nothin’ to lose.
