The Leo New Moon took the stage yesterday morning at 7:13a (EDT) at 12°. The Sabian Symbol for this lunation? An Old Sea Captain Rocking On The Porch Of His Cottage.
This image, to me, is provocative of a time of rest, reflection and satisfaction of jobs well done.
This lunation is in supportive aspects with the nodal axis, indicating cosmic support of your destined evolution. The Sun rules Leo. The Sun provides life and vitality to all things physical on earth. The Sun is conjunct the Moon at a New Moon, illuminating your internal playbook. What you want and what you fear; what you feel and what you believe are all primed for reflection now. This kind of reflection can be a catalyst for changes leading to growth, expansion and transformation.
With Mercury and Mars at odds, you may feel especially opinionated under this Moon. You may feel urges to actively speak out in support of your views. This is a perfectly fine thing to do, so long as you remain consciously aware of the potential consequences that can arise from such impassioned and impulsive behaviours.
A hookup between Mars and Jupiter in Gemini means action taken at this time may be swift and easily escalated … for good or ill. Be prepared.
Mercury and Venus get chummy while squaring Uranus. Something is likely to trigger a newfound (rediscovered?) sense of playfulness. You are encouraged to really lean into this, blissmaker! Get flirty! Flash those pearly whites at everyone you meet! Take yourself out to new places and give yourself over to the absolute delight of having some novel fun! With Venus at the anoretic degree of Leo, you may feel your urges for romping in the spotlight are stronger than ever.
Pluto squaring Chiron adds a nice layer of healing potential to this time, as well. You can find a place between the binaries of deeply healing yourself through conscious effort and fully immersing yourself in hedonistic bliss. They don’t have to be mutually exclusive. In fact, many times healing can be found when you give yourself a break from the intensity of the challenges in order to frolic, dance and laugh for a bit.
Now is the time to explore the more playful aspects of yourself. Don’t hold back! You’re being asked to be YOU in a full-throttle kind of way. This is not the time to be demure and shy and overly pleasing. Let your hair down! Sound your barbaric YAWP! Let your inner child out to revel and romp! Open to the deep healing that can happen when you stop allowing yourself to be tampered by so many serious and somber constructs of civilized societal life. After all, when you’re the elder on the porch, isn’t it really the fun bits that make a life worthy of reflection?
