New Moon in Leo, August 2nd, 2016 | Loving You
On August 2nd we have a New Moon at 10 degrees Leo with many planets in Fire signs.
FIRE is ACTION, EXCITEMENT, INSPIRATION!
This quote by Jay Griffiths, author, aptly describes the energy of Leo the LION:
‘All humans are essentially wild creatures and hate confinement. We need what is wild, and we thrill to it, our wildness bubbling over with an anarchic joie de vivre….The more suffocatingly enclosed we are – tamed by television, controlled by mortgages and bureaucracy – the louder our wild genes scream in aggression, anger and depression.
With no planets in AIR signs, how about ignoring that voice in your head that keeps telling you that you cannot do it and going with your wild side??
Each zodiac sign rules a particular body part and Leo rules the heart.
Recent research shows the heart as the most powerful electrical and magnetic field generator in the human body. Although the brain does hold its own electromagnetic field, it pales in comparison to the field strength of the heart. Studies show that the heart is 100,000 times electrically stronger and 5,000 times magnetically stronger than the brain.
The heart is the first organ to function after conception. Within about 20 days after conception, the heart starts to function, but the brain does not function until after roughly 90 days. This information tells us that the brain is possibly secondary to the heart.
What can you do to open your heart at the time of this New Moon?
Saturn is square to Neptune bringing up issues of boundaries. Are your boundaries clear or are they fuzzy? Are people stepping over your boundaries? If so, how can you communicate from your heart while at the same time being clear about what works for you?
This is the challenge of the New Moon in Leo.
New Moons always give you an opportunity to do something new. The Fire signs are bold, daring and courageous. What can you do to add spice to your life?I took a risk by publishing a video of Summer Bacon, my wonderful channeling teacher and myself having a conversation that we weren’t aware was being recorded!
At first, we both wanted to edit out the parts we felt made us look silly, but in the end, we decided that if we were discussing channeling – which is all about being vulnerable and surrendering – we had to set the example and not shy away from people possibly rejecting or turning away from us.
Why is it that OUTTAKES are so fascinating? Because it’s when we make mistakes that shows our humanity. We are always trying to hold things together, keep the status quo. How about allowing yourself to be SEEN this month?
Uranus is trine to Venus bringing surprise encounters, exciting new liaisons, sudden meetings with interesting people.
What can you do that brings some FIRE and COLOUR into your life?
Feeling FREE and having a certain ‘joie de vivre’ is the key to good health and happiness.I am reminded of my beautiful osteopath who was born before the war and who still practices her profession with great passion and joy. I asked her what is the secret to her youth and her strength. She said she derives JOY from the SIMPLEST things in life. Where can you find JOY today??
Uranus in Aries, on the other hand, is all about freedom, people taking control of their own lives and breaking free from the controls of governments and authorities.
With 6 out of 10 planets in Fire signs, this is time to step out and to be yourself and to speak up for what is important to you.
Aries is a very physical sign. Venus is in Aries encouraging you to LOVE YOUR BODY.What does your body want? Are you listening?I’ve been learning yoga for the last few months and my body is telling me that some of the poses don’t work for me. So I adapt them to suit my body. I do ‘Barbara’ yoga, and not a prescribed format.
I was so uncertain about posting my last video about the Lunar Eclipse in Libra. Time and again, I looked at it and I wasn’t sure. Then I decided to throw caution to the wind, and to trust my intuitive voice telling me to ‘JUST DO IT!’ And the same is true of the video for this New Moon, and yet again, quaking in my boots, I posted it!
