New Moon in Leo: August 2024
NEW MOON IN LEO, August 4 2024 4:13 a.m. PDT
Astrologically speaking, the New Moon is the time to set intentions to attract what you want into your life. This New Moon, at 12° Leo, is THE day of the year to set intentions to bring more creativity and joy into your life. If you’re in the performing arts, this is a fantastic New Moon to set intentions for success.
If you're working on attracting romance or creating a joyful relationship with your children, don't miss this Leo Moon.
And, last but not least, if you need a boost of power to your leadership abilities, this is your New Moon too!
But as always, you’re not limited to these areas. Set intentions for anything you’re working on – it’s a very good, optimistic New Moon. It makes a sextile to Mars and Jupiter.
But, intentions related to the areas ruled by Leo will get an extra boost.
Mercury will be turning retrograde several hours after the New Moon, so it's still safe to set your intentions. What I would suggest is setting intentions for a "second chance" or a "re-do", such as another chance to improve a relationship with your child, or another chance for romance.
How To:
Choose about 5 intentions (or wishes) to focus on. More than that seems to diffuse the energy.
- Set your intentions soon after the new Moon, within 8 hours if you can (within 24 hours will still work). Set aside about 30 minutes for this.
- You may wish to light a yellow candle and meditate with a citrine or a sunstone. Spend good 5 minutes getting grounded and centered, before you send your intentions to the Universe. (In my digital mini-course, Working with the New Moon, I teach you a powerful process that helps you work with the New Moon energies - there is only so much I can include in a post!)
- Focus on your intentions. Take some time to truly FEEL them (this is key). You WANT to be in that happy relationship full of joy, that you’re manifesting. You WANT to attract a leadership position in your career. What would it feel like when your heart's desire comes to you?
Sample Intentions:
“I want to attract and experience a joyful, happy romantic relationship.”
“I want to easily be able to create a feeling of joy and romance in my relationship with _________”.
“I want my relationship with my child(ren) <insert names> to be full of joy”.
“I want to easily find ways to bring joy and happiness into each day of my life”.
“I want to easily find myself assuming leadership in <the area of your life>”.
“I want to easily generate creative, original ideas for <my book, art, or other creative areas>”.
“I want to attract and experience success in <theater or other performing arts>”.
To Go Deeper:
I'm a big believer in working with the Lunar Cycle. I've built a consistent practice, and it brought some very nice results over the years.And so I'd like to introduce you to one of my favourite books on the subject: Jan Spiller's "New Moon Astrology."
