New Moon applying to Mercury in Leo

New moons are time to release the activity of the past month, regroup, and set intentions for the upcoming cycle.  Mars and Mercury lend their strategic minds to our intention setting.  How can we be more assertive or decisive to better use our energy in the future?  How can we conserve energy for the right time?

By traditional aspect doctrine, this lunation shares no light with troublesome planets in Capricorn, leaving out any direct influence from heavy Jupiter, Saturn, or Pluto.  It is also free from the confusing and veiling effects of Neptune in Pisces.  This allows for more clarity and focus in this configuration. 

This new moon highlights how much has changed in how we connect and relate to others.  How can we embrace this change?  Leo is healthiest when they are lighting up those around them, letting others shine and be seen.  Create space during this new moon to hear internal wisdom regarding what moves your heart to act. Make that space by finding quiet solitude, time to play, or time to create something new. <3
