Get ready for a rush of energy and ideas. Mars makes a lovely trine to this new moon, and the fiery energy serves to ignite our passions and zest for life. You are getting a glimpse if not a full download of a vision and strategy that will serve you in the months to come. We are all getting a short reprieve from the retrograde energy and other transits this year that have required us to dwell in uncertainty for long periods of time, so make the most of it! We’re not fully out of this cycle until the end of 2020/beginning of 2021, however this new moon offers a welcome glimpse of how to actualize your desires and fuel your creativity into something valuable and fulfilling.
Leo helps us take up space with our individuality, strengthening our will power and fueling our heart’s desires. This energy also helps you both to enjoy more of life and ask for more from life. Since this has been a wonky year (perhaps an understatement), finding us to be waiting and/or in survival mode at times, your heart is yearning to break out of its cage and have a moment to dance, play, create, sing, write, whatever strikes your fancy. This is an important step to build up your will power and confidence for the next chapter.
Mars continues its galvanizing journey through Aries. For this new moon the warrior planet is close to squaring Saturn (exact on 8/24), which will require you to find ways to look at time as your ally versus your enemy. While you may feel impatient with any delays and slowdowns, there is another part of you that is well aware that every idea and project has its time. Any supposed setbacks you encounter are an opportunity to get stronger and connect to the deeper rhythms that govern your life.
The Aries and Leo energy of this full moon foster boldness and independence. Will you need to make adjustments along the way? Of course. Will something or someone come across your path to challenge/object to your approach? Probably, as it’s all part of the process. And like a good novel, there are twists and turns. Which is why it’s important right now to connect to your inner creative fire and to let this supernova of energy power you through the fall.
Intentions: I am connected to my inner fire and it’s bold and beautiful. My will power is focused on cultivating situations that bring me joy. Any slowdowns/delays help me connect more fully to my deeper rhythms and the rhythms of the universe.
