August 15, 2023 Edition
Thank you for visiting N.B., and welcome to the August 15, 2023 edition of Moon Scope!
Leo is a creative sign, and it’s the sign of Leadership. There’s a proudness and regal nature about the Lion, and it was said once that Leo would rather be the kingpin of small group than a follower of large one.
The new moon tomorrow brings a fresh start with it, which I feel, is exactly what we need right now. It’s the middle of August, the summer is beginning to wind down, and there’s about 138 days left in the year.
In the grand scheme of things, I think we received all the information necessary at the time of the last full moon, which was on the night of August 1st. In Leo now, the reflective and reactive moon takes in the emotions dealing with love and creativity and leadership.
Let’s not forget that Leo is expansive, that means it covers a lot of space. However the Moon choses to react here, the arena will be open to great distances and heights. That could be the top of the corporate ladder, that could mean starting your own business, or it could mean traveling to new territories. Think expansive, think branching out, and think bigger.
I feel like the mood right now is light hearted and fun, and that’s what the creative in us needs to blossom.
Let’s talk about the Moon for a second. In ancient Greek mythology and religion, Artemis, as the personification of the Moon, was known as the Goddess of the hunt, nature, wild life, and wild animals. In an emotionally charged fire sign like Leo, it wouldn’t be surprising if the sacred feminine in all of us decides to embrace the hunt. It’s a hunt for a better life, a hunt for fun and enjoyment, and a hunt for all the things our lives are lacking right now.
Either way, I don’t think there could be a better sign to have a new moon in at this moment, and we should learn to trust in the divine timing of things.
