New Moon in Leo

General Predictions for the New Moon in Leo:

On July the 28th, at 17:55 UT, the Moon meets the Sun, in Leo, forming the New Moon.

During the waxing Moon period, Mercury enters Virgo, on the 4th of August, and Venus enters Leo, less than half a day before the moment of the coming Full Moon, on the 11th of August. Furthermore, Jupiter turns Retrograde on the day of this New Moon, at 20:38 UT. By doing that, 40% of the major planets are now Retrograde, which is a very significant amount of retrograde energy. It will reach 50% during the coming waning fortnight, and 60% during the next waxing fortnight, which will be this year’s peak of retrograde activity. So, things are slowing down and need more caution, and this will remain the case, until Jupiter turns Direct, on the 23rd of November.

So, the planetary scenery changes, not really much, but, still, significantly so.

The inauspicious aspects of the New Moon:

Saturn squares Uranus. This is a years-long aspect that keeps stressing us since 2020 and it will completely cease affecting us on the 24th of January 2023. For the previous couple of months it was too weak and almost unnoticeable. As it had been growing stronger fast, it became quite noticeable during the previous fortnight, and cross the midpoint of the 5°. On the bright side, the square won’t become accurate again. Nonetheless, it will reach a deviation smaller than 1° from the 15th of September and until the 23rd of October.

Amongst else, this square reduces our freedom and sense of freedom. It makes achieving changes much more challenging. It can also gives us the feeling that achieving those is out of our hands. During the previous fortnight, this one, and the next one, Mars will also be adding to this square’s stress, which might make things feel much more difficult than they really are. As Saturn is now Retrograde and soon Uranus will be, too, we might feel like we are progressing “backwards”. On the bright side, Saturn will be forming more auspicious than stressful aspects during the remaining period of this square’s activity – and especially so when the square will be very strong. Therefore, things are more likely to be not easy, but easier than during the last months of 2021 and the first months of 2022.

So, Mars squares Saturn. The aspect will become accurate on the 7th of August. It is active, though, since the 23rd of July and it will remain so until the 22nd of August. This square can raise our stress levels, considerably, and it can also make us more irritable. Bone health also needs more care and attention. Similarly, accidents can happen more easily, so be extra careful when driving, when you are engaging in dangerous activities and when you are near fire or metal.

The Sun barely opposes Pluto. The aspect became accurate on the 20th of July, and started affecting us on the 10th of July. It will remain active until the 30th of the month. Financial dealing during this aspect’s period of activity need a wiser consideration. There might also be a feeling that our financial condition is lacking. That doesn’t necessarily mean that there is a change in that condition, though.

Also, Venus squares Jupiter. This square became accurate on the 25th of July, and got activated on the 17th of the month. It will remain active until the 2nd of August. Amongst else, this aspect might bring some extra problems, or make existing ones stronger, in our love and social life.

Furthermore, Mercury squares Mars. The square got activated on the 21st of July and became accurate on the 26th of the month. It will remain active until the 4th of August. This can also bring some tension in our social life. Work related social activity, too, will be affected. Also trade receives more stress. Vehicles and means of communication might act oddly, malfunction, or they might need repairs, too.

Also Mercury squares Uranus. Accurately so on the day of this New Moon, the 28th of July. This square is active since the 24th of July and it will remain so until the 3rd of August. Amongst else, this square will add to Uranus’ and Saturn’s square’s stress. Also, online social activity and jobs, as well as computers, smartphones and other electronic devises and devices of communication can have some problems and issues. During the period of this square’s activity purchasing new computers, smartphones and the like is not advisable, unless you really need them. It’s also not advisable to make new contracts with internet providing services and the like.

Similarly, the Sun squares Uranus. Accurately so on the 11th of August. This square will be active from the 1st of August and until the 22nd of the month. Amongst else, this square will create similar effects as Mercury’s and Uranus’ square. Thankfully, the two of the will be active together only for two days, when both of the will be quite weak.

Of course, the Sun squares Mars, too. The aspect will become accurate on the 27th of August, the day of the next New Moon, when the Sun will be in Virgo and Mars will be in Gemini. Nonetheless, it will be active from the 30th of July, when the Sun will still be in Leo and Mars in Taurus. It will remain active until the 17th of September. During the period of this square’s activity we can get too impatient, or we might tend to be more hostile than usual. It’s advisable we try to control these tendencies. Furthermore, health needs some extra caution.

Moreover, Mercury opposes Saturn. Accurately so on the 31st of July. The aspect is active since the 27th of July and it will remain so until the 5th of August. During this aspect’s influences, meditative techniques might be more difficult to bring good results. Also, health, both physical and emotional one, needs some better care.

Also, Venus, opposes Pluto. Accurately so on the 9th of August. The aspect will be active from the 2nd of August and until the 17th of the month. Amongst else, this aspect can stress our emotional health and our mood. It can also bring more difficulties in our love life and our friendships. Venus makes some beneficial influences that can help us counter some of these influences, but this is a strong aspect. Therefore, fully avoiding its effects will need much effort. Especially around the day of the coming Full Moon, when it will be at its strongest point.

Finally, the Sun opposes Saturn. Accurately so on the 14th of August. The aspect will be active from the 5th of August and until the 24th of the month. Health needs some extra caution, under the influences of this aspect. Also, more effort than expected might be necessary for achieving the desired results.

The auspicious aspects of the New Moon:

Neptune’s years-long hexagon with Pluto is already very strong and it’s growing stronger, as it’s slowly heading to this year’s minimum deviation. That is, its strongest point. As we’ve said, although this hexagon will be becoming stronger and weaker many times, without ever losing most of its strength, it won’t become accurate again until the 24th of July 2026. By then, though, both planets will have changed their zodiacs.

For this year, though, on the 25th of March the hexagon crossed the midpoint of the 5° deviation, becoming quite strong and it will remain so until the 17th of January 2023, when it will, once again cross the 5°, but, then, while it will be becoming weaker. Furthermore, during this fortnight, the hexagon will reach its strongest period, which will be from the 4th of August and until the 22nd of August. During this period its deviation will be 1° 53’ – 1° 54’ apart from accuracy.

Amongst else, this hexagon empowers magic and helps us heal our souls, and our relationships. Physical healing, and especially via traditional methods, also receives some help. Progress in medicine and pharmacology, in a global level can receives support, too.

Also, the Sun forms a triangle with Jupiter. Accurately so, on the 31st of July. The aspect is active since the 22nd of July and it will remain so until the 11th of August. On the downside, from now on Jupiter is Retrograde. Nonetheless, the two Lucky Stars harmoniously cooperating is always a good omen. More so for all the zodiacs of Fire, as the two planets are in Fire signs. Amongst else, this triangle can help all work and business matters, and all kinds of cooperation. Travelling, too, receives beneficial influences.

Mars conjuncts Uranus. Accurately so on the 1st of August. The aspect is active since the 18th of July and it will remain so until the 18th of August. Although this aspect, on its own, is a beneficial one, as those two impatient risk-takers square the conservative Saturn, it can become a double edged sword, so be careful. Amongst else, the conjunction can motivate us to work towards achieving the goals and changes we want to achieve. Make sure you don’t overwork yourselves and you don’t act recklessly.

Also, Venus forms a hexagon with Uranus. Accurately so on the 2nd of August. The aspect got activated on the 26th of July. It will remain active until the 10th of August. Amongst else, this hexagon can help us improve our love and social life.

Similarly, Venus forms a hexagon with Mars. Accurately so on the 3rd of August. The hexagon was activated on the 16th of July and it will remain active until the 19th of August. This aspect can be quite helpful for love life, both for those in a relationship and for those seeking one. As both planets receive enough stress and, also, this is “just” a hexagon, some extra effort and some extra caution will be needed from our part to enjoy the most this aspect can offer.

Also, Venus forms a triangle with Neptune. Accurately so on the 7th of August. The aspect will be active from the 31st of July and until the 15th of August. This triangle can support emotional healing as well as it can help us heal and nurture all our personal relationships. It also helps most artistic careers. Especially so for the water signs, as well as for Libra and Gemini.

Additionally, Mars forms a hexagon with Neptune. Accurately so on the 11th of August. The aspect will be active from the day of this New Moon, the 28th of July, and until the 28th of August. By then, though, Mars will have entered Gemini. Amongst else, this triangle gives much power to magic. All kinds of Fire magic, Water magic and the combination of the two, receive even better influences. Furthermore, this aspect can help us clear our mind a little. Quite an important blessing since there is a lot of stress affecting our mental clarity.

On top of that, Mars forms a triangle with Pluto. Accurately so on the 14th of August. This aspect will be active from the 31st of July and until the 28th of August. Therefore, all the time this aspect will be active, the previous one will also be active. This triangle further empowers magic. Fire magic, sex magic as well as whatever has to do with talismans, magical oils and perfumes, philtres and the like receive a boosting. Furthermore, this aspect can help us finding solutions to financial problems.

Finally, from the eve of the Full Moon, Mercury will start forming a triangle with Uranus and Venus will start forming a triangle with with Jupiter. Neither of these aspects will affect us during this fortnight, but they are two beneficial aspects to look forward for the next fortnight. So, for those who want to advertise themselves, or want to expand their social circle, or find a new love, get the preparations ready until the Full Moon. Neither of these aspects will last long and, especially so Mercury’s, so there won’t be enough time to prepare, then.

Summarising:

So, overall, this is a somewhat stressful New Moon and waxing Moon period. The beneficial influences are fewer than the stressful ones, while the retrograde activity is quite strong.
