Leo New Moon Vibes
This New Moon in Leo marks a new phase of the process we have been going through this year traveling into the depths of our hearts to create a new foundation. Leo is about your unique self, showing up as your authentic self sharing your gifts with the world. It is a calm before the storm to build capacity & insights enabling us to ride our light through the things that are challenging, karma we are processing, all the healed wounds to let everything go once and for all. Becoming “what will be” leaving “what was” behind.
Plant the seeds of your becoming this New Moon. You’ve been doing the healing work on old wounds, allowing that energy to clear so that you can begin to work with Chiron going deeper into those wounds releasing and clearing ancestral and generational trauma. Healing for the collective. As Mercury stations retrograde go within, reflect on what is aligned with your true essence so you can release what’s no longer serving you. Chiron’s wife the Medicine Woman Chariclo brings beautiful earthy magic to this New Moon, helping you to ground in your own wisdom, the ancient wisdom of your ancestors will be more accessible, tap into if you are ready.
Lastly, the Lion’s Gate Portal which is amplifying powerful light energy from Sirius, our Spiritual Sun. This is your essence. What is the energy you want to release into the world? How will you be of service to those around you? Allow your vulnerability, your deepest love to shine through you as you release your deepest, ancestral wounds.
This New Moon is going to be a bit of a wild ride, illuminating our potential, the human potential that we can access as individuals and as a collective. As you prepare for your New Moon intentions, think about what you, realizing more of your potential or the depth of your potential looks and feels like. Plant the seeds to support that journey, even if you don’t have the words.
Working With The New Moon Energy
Leo, a fire sign, is ruled by the sun. It is all things creativity. Two chakras come to mind as I sit with our New Moon in Leo, Mercury Retrograde, Lion’s Gate Portal, and Chiron’s Retrograde. The Sacral Chakra aligned with our creativity and passion and our Solar Plexus which is aligned with our essence, our truest form of self. The Sacral Chakra is aligned with the color orange (fire) and the Solar Plexus is aligned with the color yellow (the sun). You may want to incorporate these chakras, the associated colors, and energy around your creativity, passion, and truest self into your meditations over the next few weeks. It could be as simple as envisioning beautiful orange (sacral located just below your belly button) or yellow (solar plexus located at the center of your torso where your rib cage connects) balls of energy spinning anti-clockwise to release and clear energy or clockwise to reset and rebalance.

Mercury Retrograde
When Mercury stations retrograde we are given the opportunity to review the details, take inventory, and reflect on what is truly important to us. During this time of deep reflection we start to remember who we are and why we are here. We rediscover what may have been lost or blurred with the chaos of life. We are literally forced to slow down during Mercury Retrograde, encouraged to observe without judgment or attachment to ensure we are creating the life we’ve been dreaming into reality or if our actions are no longer aligned with that vision. Giving us the opportunity to reassess what is truly important and if what we are designing for our lives is aligned with that vision. If it isn’t we are able take the lessons learned and to redirect ourselves coming back into alignment.
Mercury is retrograding in Virgo, its home sign. Our highest expression of Virgo transcends perfectionist tendencies in the pursuit of purification, particularly pertaining to the body & what we are able to physically create. Messages are coming from the unconscious to support alignment with your soul's purpose. During this period review, reflect & rediscover in order to invite abundance & manifestation into your life.
Mantra
I claim my true essence. I go within, I release what is no longer aligned. I allow my light to shine through.
