1 August 2019 - New Moon in ♌ Leo @ 1.11pm AEST
The New Moon and two to three days before for going within, to honour the darkness - not in an evil sense - but the dark space/energy from which life is conceived; the feminine-creative energy.
Here is where we meet and (hopefully) sit with what is stirring within. It’s a time to slow down, not necessarily stop, a time to connect with and trust and honour your intuition.
Here is where we begin to feel into what our Soul requires from us for the lunar month ahead. And here is where all potential exists - this is where we begin to sense the dreams, visions and fears that have been awaiting the right time to surface.
The New Moon, for me is the time to sit and pay attention to the whispers of my Soul, to honour the needs of my body and Soul. It’s a time to recharge, to replenish my energy reserves and to begin to energetically prepare for the lunar month ahead.
It’s about two to three days after the New Moon, when the silver sliver of the Crescent Moon appears in the daytime sky, that it’s time to get clear on our goals for the coming month and begin to formulate a plan of action from what our Soul has been collecting and sharing during the Dark of Moon/New Moon time - allowing for ebbs and flows, shifts and changes.
♌ Leo energies…
Leo, ruled by the Sun, brings an infusion of happiness, playfulness, drama and the power of self-expression to the fore.
Leo loves the spotlight, he thrives on it and he’ll even do it at your expense if it means that he gets more time on stage. It’s not that Leo means any harm, it’s just that he values being looked at - he equates this with being adored - and doesn’t realise that feelings can be hurt and hearts can be broken as he continues to search for his audience. The ego is activated in Leo.
Leo announces his entrance by bounding into a room with the exuberance of a child - they really do just want to make everyone happy, not quite realising that sometimes people need some quiet time. They mean well, they really do, but it is possible for them to forget (or intentionally distract themselves from) the importance of self-reflection and the need for solitude; it does after all, get pretty noisy when we begin the inner journey and this ‘noise’ just isn’t something that they’re comfortable with.
They always seem to need an audience - or is it their defense mechanism? A way to keep from delving into the depths of their Soul to recover the wisdom that lies within and do the necessary inner work that will bring healing, perhaps?
When I think of Leo, I think of the lion in The Wizard of Oz...bravado on the outside - all for show, creating a noisy distraction so that no-one has the chance to ask any deep questions - and fear and emotional immaturity on the inside. This isn’t all Leos of course; there are some who are courageous enough to delve into the depths and recover their inner lion/lioness.
🌑 New Moon in ♌ Leo energies…
This month’s Leo New Moon helps us to get in touch with the parts of Self that are beginning to stir in the lead up to the peak of the Lion’s Gate on 8 August - the portal/gateway has been open since 26 July and will close on 11 August, but more about that in the coming days.
This Leo New Moon might feel extra challenging (I want to say ‘suffocating’) for many as Leo in it’s ruler, the Sun, feels as though it’s attempting to steal the spotlight and isn’t allowing us to go within as is natural at the New Moon. This might cause us to feel extra grumpy, unsettled, and have us looking like a deer in headlights when we feel pushed to ‘perform’ something that we don’t feel ready for.
Also taking place today: Mercury stations direct, meaning that his retrograde cycle has ended and he’s preparing to pick up speed as he moves through the celestial realms once more. This station has felt quite clunky and may take a few days to settle; perhaps it’s to jolt us out of the last remnants of the old version of self so that we can begin stepping into the new version of self that aligns more closely with Self as we near the peak of the Lion’s Gate.
We are being asked to notice where we travel to in our daydreams (and even our nightly ones) as many are visiting healing temples and ancient libraries to recover the healing wisdom that we need for ourselves and others as we head towards the end of 2019.
My sense is that by the next New Moon on 30 August, most of you reading this will have your new energetic template between 60-70% anchored thanks to the Lion’s Gate energies which have a magical way of speeding up our spiritual-human evolution.
⭐ These are the underlying energies for this lunar month so bear these in mind as you set your intentions for this lunar month within the next day or two.
If you get stuck or need some clarity about how this is playing out for you, book yourself in for a reading with me and we’ll begin to unravel and dissolve the energetic threads that are preventing you from showing up in your life as you feel called to.
August brings a pivotal change into our lives - things will shift immeasurably, and the more we resist, the more difficult things will become as we move forward. We are running out of options to fall back on.

Inner Work & journalling:
When we take and make the time to connect with the inner realms, we can initiate and/or facilitate great shifts. The more we know ourselves, the better we become at handling what comes our way. Begin by writing about how you feel - physically and/or emotionally, then as you discover these feelings (and even emotions), describe how they feel and as you write about them, you’ll find that there may be a pattern or underlying theme that stands out.
Hydration:
Keeping our bodies hydrated is important with all of these energetic upgrades. Drinking water and herbal teas is a great way to flush out the toxins that are being released by the body. For the coffee and black tea drinkers: drink one glass of water per cup of caffeinated beverage.
Suggestions: lavender; rose; sage; camomile; peppermint; lotus; rosehip; ginger; lemon; nettle.
