This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine
Greetings Earthlings! The Leo New Moon comes leaping in today 8/16/23 at 2:38pm PDT on GIANT puddy tat paws! This New Moon’s pounce is exposing our vulnerability and bringing up all our self-worth issues so that we will claim our light. Take heart, courageous one, for in choosing your light, you choose life.
Leo is ruled by our beautiful, powerful Sun that radiates light for all of us unabashedly. The Sun has no reservations on how big, bold, and bright it is, it just shines. This is the axiom for Leo, just show up and shine. Now this is easier said than done but this New Moon in the sign of the jungle queen square Uranus, the planet of the unexpected, requires us to be open minded and flexible.
Also Venus retrograde is involved with this New Moon in Leo and this aspect seems to be slowing many “full steam ahead” plans to a grinding halt. Venus is what you want, the Moon is what you need, and Black Moon Lilith (who’s also involved) is rejected desires and wants. With Venus retrograde, many of your feminine relationships (including your relationship with yourself) might be coming up for review and remodeling. With Uranus involved, you might be blindsided so that you will change courses towards a more healthier and lighter direction.
The terrible news of Lahaina burning and other heavy news, has us all sitting back on our haunches and taking review. It has been dark and tragic. It makes it hard to laugh, smile and be silly. This New Moon gives us the opportunity to shine light in that direction but not to let it burn up your inner light. We must keep hope and love alive in our lives so it spreads out and grows. Contribute, send good energy and take care of yourself. As within, so without.
And last but not least, lighten up a bit! Get playful and go for a fun romp or do something creative and spirited. If things still feel too heavy to be playful, then take baby steps in that direction. Spend some time with a loved one and appreciate how delightful it is to be with them. Do some art or wander in nature. All these will brighten your light and help you feel vital again.
Show up for yourself and shine the light for yourself and consequently those around you will feel it. Try some radical acceptance of yourself. Let your little light shine!
