When things get hectic and everything seems out of your control, Leo acts like a beacon of light which brings you back to your true self.

The influence of this instigating red planet is of such nature that it makes anything possible, anything can happen. Things are stirred and brought to a raging boil. However, all of this astrological bustle can turn out to be a gold mine as you push through hard times and uncomfortable experiences, growing stronger and wiser in the process. “Realness” is what you will hold onto at this time: you set your own standards and you stay true to them no matter what. Long story short, your vulnerabilities can become your assets.
The mighty Jupiter stokes the fire of natural enthusiasm in Leo with a hearty dose of optimism, vitality, and thirst for adventure. Venus is in Cancer, promoting love and art, and it opposes Pluto.

This lunation is all about power: to fight for your dreams and for who you really are, to live and act in accordance with your true self. This is a valuable chance to focus on yourself and to reconnect with those parts of your soul and mind which have been ignored for a while. Leo requires that you whole-heartedly embrace life and the New Moon gives you the opportunity to renew yourself, so take advantage of these astrological circumstances and reinvent yourself, recommit to living the best life imaginable.
As for New Moon rituals, this lunation is all about artistic self-expressions. Therefore, you could make a collage based on your favorite things, paint something in vibrant colors, go out and “play,” go on an adventure, and embrace new friendships.
