NEW MOON IN LEO ON AUGUST 1
On August 1, there will be a New Moon at 9 degrees of Leo. It will occur at 6:12 Kyiv time (3:12 GMT). The New Moon in Leo raises questions about our personal fulfillment. It is now important to understand where our strengths and talents lie. Therefore, it is crucial to start not by figuring out how to fit our fantasies into real life, but to open up to the inner dreamer. The first lunar day will last for a full day, so we will have time to dig into the most hidden corners of our dreams, which we have long kept hidden from ourselves to avoid further failures and disappointments. To do this, it is important to write down your thoughts and desires indiscriminately. It is essential to push through the moment when it seems there is nothing left to dream about—it is precisely after this that what is truly valuable to us will begin to emerge. This is the first New Moon after the eclipse corridor. We have prepared a solid foundation and cleared the necessary space for a new stage in our lives. There may be a feeling that no strength is left, and emotions may sway our state. But this is only because we want to cling to something reliable and stable too soon. Only after this will the New Moon bring the necessary energies and opportunities to claim our place. During this New Moon, the Sun is in a very strong position, as it is in its sign of domicile. That is why it is so important to use this time to awaken creative aspirations and set bold goals. The Moon in Leo will give us more self-confidence and energy to move forward. Additionally, starting August 1, Mercury will station direct and begin to gain speed. Therefore, from August 3, you can confidently go for new purchases. And after August 10, when Jupiter gains speed in direct motion, you can start new projects and make responsible decisions. This does not mean that everyone needs to start something new. You can breathe new life into your long-term projects—change priorities or adjust final goals according to new self-perceptions. The New Moon point is in conjunction with Venus in Leo. This will lend a certain charm and grandeur to all our desires. Whatever we strive for, we will choose the path to achieving our goals that is most harmonious with our inner desires. The harmonious aspect of the Sun and Moon with Jupiter will help us move in our dreams toward our development. Wish for a little more than your mind suggests, set higher criteria, and in uncertain situations, you can rely on luck. However, the square of the New Moon point with Uranus may create an excessive desire for independence from surrounding people and circumstances. Therefore, it is very important to overcome the urge to break all old ties and rid yourself of any obligations. At the moment, these could be hasty conclusions. Be cautious with decisive actions so as not to lose what you cannot yet understand the value of. Overall, this is a time of “hanging.” Since the previous New Moon in Leo, it may have seemed that we are only losing, changing, and not gaining anything—there is nothing to hold onto to take a moment’s rest from the relentless movement of life. The situation will change soon if we start acting consciously. Therefore, it is very important now to review previously unrealized prospects, unfulfilled desires, and unsatisfied expectations. If you do not consider them valuable to yourself now—they will leave for a long time. This does not depend as much on your decision as on the resources you have invested in them. Everything that is energetically empty will simply dissolve in time. We wish you to feel the power of your talents this month!
