New Moon in Leo,
at 7:55 PM
Time Zone — Central European Time
In the rush of stardust and heat, we enter the centre of Summer, with the New Moon in Leo of the element of Fire. For some it means the completion of all projects, the fulfilment and completion of a cycle, for others it means the beginning of a brand new one that will assist in raising the kundalini energy through passion, attraction and desire. Strength and power fuel the motivating life force that will ignite your inner flame.
This New Moon takes place in the evening at 7:55 on July 28, 2022, in the sign of creative, flamboyant, pompous and generous Leo, a sign of fixed quality and very warm and protective energy. This is a flame that burns with equal brightness within and without, illuminating the physical manifestation.
The New Moon is a cycle that happens every month on about 28–29 days, when the Moon makes a conjunction to the Sun and thus begins a new emotional cycle for each one of us. Things grow, nature reawakens and all life on the planet gains new strength and joy. That is why we say that the New Moon is an excellent period of 24 hours in which it is good to start something, to set new intentions and goals, because their realization is easier during the next two weeks until the Full Moon.
Life`s what you make it happens from the inside out, all with the goal of building a better world, one brick at a time. Your work is done, and the New Moon in Leo invites you to have fun and enjoy the abundance that Summer has to offer. Take time to reflect on what you have lost, gained, learned and created during this year.
This New Moon is square MERCURY and URANUS, an aspect that leads to epiphanies, inspiring ideas, innovation, but is a highly unstable aspect, even though it is in signs of fixed quality, so this will be something of a storm in a teacup for many, which will lead again to clear blue skies. You will have to be most careful with communication, excitement and potential impulsiveness, because there is a possibility of unpredictable changes at the last moment and second in the hour. In other words, a new door opens through which we will have to go through and through which we will reinvent ourselves.
This self-confidence arises due to the double trines of the SUN/MOON conjunction and JUPITER, which gives a sense of harmony, enthusiasm, broad-mindedness and the feeling that an entire world lies at your fingertips. So there`s an echo — The world is yours — something that will come true if we only dare to step out of our comfort zone.
All this is due to the strongly fixed quality of the planets that are now placed in TAURUS — Mars, Uranus and North Node — LEO — Sun conjunction Moon, Mercury — SCORPIO — South Node — AQUARIUS — Saturn Retrograde.
Neither aspect is exact, but separated by 2 to 3 degrees, but still the planets touch, among which the most prominent is the triple conjunction MARS conjunction URANUS conjunction NORTH NODE in TAURUS. This conjunction will be exact on July 31 at 9:05 PM, which marks the beginning of a new cycle of companionship, love, joy, positive energy and stable emotional status. This aspect often means that you will find someone who echoes your needs, a best friend or romantic love, most likely someone from the past, and in existing relationships the old flame will be rekindled.
VENUS in CANCER sextile MARS in TAURUS is an aspect that emphasizes the need for love, romance and harmony, as well as financial success. While LEO lies down and rests after long battles, these planets make a strategy how to maintain a sense of financial stability, success in what has been accumulated, as well as forward thinking in the context of investing the acquired funds.
JUPITER will station retrograde on the same day at 10:37 PM, a period in which we will investigate our passion, mostly for knowledge, then energy, action, a sense of adventure, a tendency to be impulsive and a sense of law and order (July 28 — November 23). This is the period when we turn inward seeking our soul lessons, evolve our philosophy of life, seek or connect with both the outer and inner spiritual teacher. This is a search for knowledge, for new values and for personal growth.
This New Moon occurs at 5 Leo 39' and the Sabian symbol for this degree is named — A Conservative, Old-fashioned Lady Is Confronted By A “Hippie” Girl. According to Dane Rudhyar, this symbol, in addition to the obvious symbolism, also speaks of the need to overcome the dictates of fashion in the way of thinking and acting, but also in morality and behaviour.
It is a symbol that reveals three developments in a woman, namely a maiden, mother and crone, who should not compete with each other, but rather respect each other’s differences and experiences in order to leave an impression of what is worthy, valuable and decent. This is a symbol that causes us to understand the relativity of social values.
According to Kozminsky, if this conscious act does not happen, there will be a competition and a fight over possessions, a sense of value and what belongs to whom, therefore it is suggested to gracefully accept every moment of life, because every flower has its blooming period.
Yes, there may be a gap between old conventions and modern thinking, but therein lies the creative potential. In our human experience the soul plays multiple roles in its development, so it is necessary to learn what it means to have contrast. On the other hand, it will be the return of some influences from the Hippie era that should be considered properly and in a new light of the day. Do we learn from civilization’s past? Is humanity still seduced by darkness, addictions, cynicism, separation from the spirit, unwilling to face its demons?
The groove is in the heart — is the most important motto in the month dominated by Leo, so dear friends, pay attention to who deserves to reside in this sacred place. Here lies all the goodness and light in life, as well as emotional wisdom. This is the perfect moment between your past and future that will reveal the veil of illusion when you are ready to see.
