Dear friends and followers, welcome to this summer kickoff edition of Moon Scope, and thank you for visiting NB!
The current moon cycle began on June 18th with a brand-new moon in the astrological sign Cancer. We’re now four days in, and tonight, pending clear skies, we should see a beautiful waxing crescent illuminated 19% in the sign of Leo.
The nights of the waxing crescent, which are the first seven nights of the new moon phase, is a time of new energy. It’s an exciting energy, and we’re supposed to be active.
The crescent moon symbolism, along with the spear, bow and arrows, the torch, and the lyre have all been attributed to Artemis, the ancient Greek Goddess of the hunt, the wilderness, wild animals, sudden death, and childbirth.
In general, the Moon represents a feminine energy; it’s receptive, reactive, and responsive. The moon also represents the subconscious. In our astrology charts, the moon can represent female figures, like your mother or your wife.
In the fixed fire sign of Leo, we find the emotional power and energy needed to set ablaze an otherwise passive moon. Fixed signs are known to be a bit stubborn, and there’s nothing wrong with that as long as we’re not intolerant, boastful, or pretentious.
Subconsciously, thoughts of having children may have been circulating, or perhaps, you’ve been feeling the urge to get started with a new creative project. All of that will surface now, and during the crescent phase, the time is perfect to finally get the wheels turning and move towards drafting or planning. We are taking thoughts or ideas from deep within us and using Leo’s fire to bring them to life.
Leo is always theatrical and loves being noticed, so, however you respond now, you’re sure to catch the eyes of others. Discern between those that can be of help and move you in the proper direction, and those that are a hindrance or just plain old jealous.
Leo rules the 5th House, a house that governs short-term pleasures. There’s nothing wrong with trying new things. I mean, how else are we going to find our heart’s desire or what we truly enjoy? As long as you know when to let certain short-term pleasures go so they don’t become habits, it’s all good.
Whatever you create now will be near and dear to your heart because Leo’s ruler, the Sun, is in the sign of the protector, Cancer. This is serious stuff, and you’ll want to keep an eye on it.
On a lighter note, it’s Thursday; one more day and the weekend will be here. Go out and enjoy yourself tonight. Add hints of yellow and orange to your attire! Hey, it’s the Leo way!
Leo rules the heart, back, and spine, and if you’re experiencing issues with any of those body parts, it might be time to get looked at.
As always, have a blessed evening, and thank you for visiting Nooz Buffet!
