Today, Friday August 14, is eventful from an astrological
point of view because we begin a new lunar cycle. This New Moon occurred just
before 8:00 am PDT and it will stay in the sign of Leo only until 11:45 pm PDT when it
begins its transit of Virgo. Incidentally, the Leo Moon is void of course at
8:36 pm PDT when it ceases to make aspects to other planetary bodies.
Symbolically, the New Moon represents a new phase that calls
attention to particular emotional needs. When the Moon is in Leo, we want
recognition and we want to be loved and to love others. Leos often go to great lengths
to project their personalities, and that is why many seem to gravitate to
activities where they can be on stage, whether that is serving as a top executive
at a big business or acting before a large audience. When the luminaries are
conjunct, we get a double dose of what that sign represents, so today the
energy calls attention to our emotional and ego needs to shine and be
appreciated. This is an appropriate time to develop intentions on how to meet these
needs more effectively.
Yet, there seems to be another message on this day. The Moon
transitions into Virgo shortly before midnight, and we are presented with a
much more responsible and contained energy. It seems almost as if we are given
the signal to party hearty with the proviso to clean up afterwards. But hey, 15
hours of partying is nothing to sneeze at, so enjoy and don’t forget to pack
some wipes in your bag!
