Did anyone else notice the effects of this? I certainly did... and spent much time alone... (which was a good thing...)

NEW MOON IN LEO

Thursday August 4 is a new Moon in Leo. The Moon, Sun, Mercury, and Saturn are all in the sign of Leo the mighty lion, creating much strength and focus. Everyday events are intensified, passions are strong, relationship dynamics are powerful, tending to children is important, and no one wants to lose.

For some, this could be a trying time in the midst of this Mercury retrograde in Leo, which will end on August 15. Communications can be confusing and events may not go as planned. The effects of this Mercury retrograde will continue to play out until the next new Moon on September 3. So try and keep a level head, do not blow up at anyone, and now is the time to draw on the wisdom of your spiritual development to cultivate understanding.

Do not become discouraged by delays or a sense of being stuck. After September 3 the new Moon in Virgo can bring healing and new doors can open. In the meantime, keep life simple and try not to err on the side of excess. Take inspiration from the strength of the mighty lion instead of contributing to the opportunities for chaos that could easily surface during this lunar cycle.

This planetary line-up in Leo will most strongly influence the fire signs Leo, Aries, and Sagittarius and those born during Monkey, Dragon, and Rat years.

Happy new Moon,

Susan
