New Moon at 7 degrees Leo 16’
Life is a journey of self-becoming. Every day brings the opportunity to know ourselves better and to express the higher qualities of the Soul on Earth. To express the power of our Soul on Earth we must listen to our heart’s true desires. My first Astrology Teacher use to say, that the heart holds the key to one’s life purpose. The heart never lies. The heart communicates the Soul’s purpose and intention in every moment of everyday through a guiding system of emotions and feelings. When the heart feels joy and love, it is the Soul letting you know come this way…come this way to your purpose. When our heart feels fear or anger it is the Soul letting us know we have made a u-turn and it is time to reconnect to our heart’s guiding system. The journey is long and eternal; the soul is patient for it knows in time the heart will call us home. This new moon invites us to listen to our heart. It invites us to reconnect to our intuitive guiding system. The time of a new moon is the beginning of a new cycle of awareness. It is an opportunity to set new beginnings, goals and intentions. It is a time for renewal and planting of new seeds within our consciousness. It is also a time when we may be asked by the Universe to shift course, change directions or reset intentions.
This new moon will be in Leo. Leo represents the Heart Chakra. It is ruled by the Sun, which represents our center/source/ life force/life’s direction. This new moon will conjunct Venus (Love/Desire/Value), bringing a powerful message to return to the Heart Chakra, to center our value system on our Soul’s will. It is about returning our awareness to what truly matters in the Universe-the expression of Unconditional Love and Divine Will. The Universe/God/All-That-Is is letting us know very clearly that the heart is the key to our life mission and purpose. It invites us to follow our true joy.
This lunation also squares Jupiter in Taurus. Bringing awareness of an inner conflict/challenge that requires resolution in regards to making determined/steady steps towards growth and expansion. Where Jupiter in Aries brought us expansion of new ideas, Jupiter in Taurus invites us to take slow and steady steps towards forward movement in the direction of those ideas/inspirations/Soul’s guidance. Take small steps towards being happy, following your inspiration and living your Soul’s purpose. Like the old saying “slow and steady wins the race.”
This new moon ultimately invites us to listen to our heart, to embrace our true self (our inner child) and let our Soul play. Have fun. Laugh more. Smile more. Dance. Sing. Eat your favorite meal. Wear your favorite outfit. Enjoy time with friends and loved one. Meditate. Reconnect to your Divine Self/Soul. Open to your creativity and inner artist. Color outside the lines. Shine like the sun, bright and free! And above all let the light of your Soul shine through you…through your joy and expressions of love. And let your joy be the light of your heart onto the world. Make time for joy. Joy is important. Joy is the key to your life mission and purpose. It always has been and always will be, the answer to finally living the life you know you are meant to live. Let yourself be happy and free. Open to the joy in each moment…and the next and the next and the next…
