EP 175: New Moon in Leo + Mercury Retrograde
August hosts some of the most intense astrology of 2024. It all starts this weekend with a New Moon in Leo and Mercury Retrograde.
The New Moon in Leo is charged up by a sextile to Mars and Jupiter. It's like having the hand of the Universe at your back, pushing you to gather the belief in yourself so that you can go out and take action to make your desires a reality. With Venus at 29 degrees of the same sign, Leo, she is helping you finally believe that you are worthy of receiving what you really want! This New Moon packs a punch, even if you don't have strong Leo energy in your chart.
I might sound cheesy, but in this episode, I share my personal connection to the New Moon in Leo and how this moon cycle seems to be the impetus for the majorly good life-changing events I've experienced.
Then Mercury stations retrograde. From August 5-28, the planet ruling communication, technology, and logistics encourages you to slow down and reflect, revise, and rest. This retrograde will be challenging due to a square with Uranus, but it also offers an opportunity for growth and healing if you slow down enough to hear its message.
