Lion's Roar Leo New Moon
We are officially in the midst of the cross quarter of Lammas, celebrating the first harvests after the Summer Solstice. This was traditionally a time to gather the seeds to save for next Spring's planting, and to relish within the rays of the Sun as the doorway to the inner realms are beginning to open once again. We may begin to assess our fruits, as we are reaping the harvest, both physically and metaphorically.
On Saturday, August 7th we enter the realm of the Balsamic Moon phase, drawing us deep within our psyches for great healing. This place of stillness offers an abundance of magick, particularly as we are in the midst of the Lion's Gate Portal. The Lion's Gate is associated with the original heliacal rising of the star Sirius, which was celebrated by the Ancient Egyptians, as it brought fertility to the Land as the Golden Nile river would fill the land with fertility. Sirius is closely linked to the Great Goddess Isis, and many believe this star to be a spiritual sun for the Earth. The Nile is a mere reflection of the Milky Way Galaxy, as above, so below, and as below, so above.
We are in a celestial conversation with the cosmos themselves. As certain events are fated, there is also free will in our actions. The beauty of astrology is that it is an art and science which informs one how to decipher these starry codes.
The Lion's Gate portal aligns us with divine timing, an ancient knowledge that at any given moment, we have the ability to operate from this force field.
The Lion's Roar Leo New Moon comes through boldly on August 8th at 9:50 am EST at 17°. Leo transmists the archetype of the Queen, the King, the shining one, as it is passionate fire that is assured, radiant, and heart centered. In its shadow this energy may be narcissistic, egocentric, dominant, and immature. As the Sun and Moon marry in the Sun's home sign within the center of the Lion's Gate Portal, our ability to receive Solar lightcodes of new hope, genius solutions, physical strength, and vitality are amplified.
Miracles are magnetic, and this New Moon offers many an opportunity. As we are in great stormy weather and polarity, there are also many challenges to clear with this Lunar cycle. The Sun, Moon, and Mercury in Leo square Uranus in Taurus, and Saturn in Aquarius. We see this square playing out collectively with the distoritions coming to the surface left and right, and in every other direction possible. Many opinions and projections of what people should do and should not do are being voiced in all forms of media. It is essential that we continue to find unity within the heart of humanity, and the Leo New Moon pulses that Call. I speak in depth about the power of this Lion's Roar Leo New Moon within episode 33 of Stars, Stones, and Stories and invite you to dive in.
Our reality is shifting at lightspeed before our very eyes. Grounding and anchoring are as essential as breathing oxygen in these times. Daily practice is just as important as clean water. May you have the courage to listen to the song of your heart.
Our hearts hold our divine blueprint and are designed to guide us through these times. May you vision with this New Moon, as in many ways it is like a renewal of vows, an opportunity to honor your soul's purpose.
With a marriage between the Sun, Moon, and Mercury the master of communication, information, and symbols, there is massive guidance through the Lion's Gate Portal. By Wednesday, August 11th the messenger settles into the sign of Virgo, to bring precision and clarity around the next steps forward.
In these times, we take things step by step, breath by breath. Collectively and personally we have the potential to alchemically transmute any low vibrations into gold. Even as you find yourself surrounded by fear, grief, anger, you have the potential to hold the frequency of the diamond mind. May you find the willingness from deep within to ROAR with victory in these times, despite however many demons you must slay.
