Seven degrees and Fifteen Minutes of Leo
This month’s New Moon falls in the royal sign of Leo. Leo is the fiery sign that is associated with the proud, majestic lion and the heat of the summer Sun.
A New Moon occurs at the beginning of every 28-day lunar cycle when the Moon joins the Sun in one of the twelve zodiacal signs. As the start of a new cycle, the New Moon is always a symbolic time to evaluate your life goals and set new intentions in the areas of your life associated with the zodiacal sign in which the New Moon is occurring.
The zodiacal sign of Leo is the sign that encourages creative self-expression and heart consciousness. The fire of the leonine Sun ignites passion, inspiration and the ability to single-mindedly focus on one’s goals. Leo also represents children and romance, marking a time to evaluate whether or not we are nurturing our inner child, and creating romantic moments of honoring and loving the self.
As the heart is ruled by Leo it is important during this New Moon to set intentions that honor your heart’s desires. This is important for all of us, but especially important for Leos, who can actually develop physical heart ailments when they do not follow their hearts. Spiritual masters who have obtained enlightenment, such as Sri Yogananda, tell us, “God is center everywhere, circumference nowhere.” The essence of your creative light and the ability to love yourself and others exists within the center of your heart. Find the center of your heart during this New Moon and honor your unique and special gifts. This Leo New Moon is reminding us of the many spiritual teachings emphasizing the need to move away from fear and into loving relationship with self, others and our planet.
In many ancient cultures the Sun is worshipped as the giver of life and the source of light – spiritual wisdom. In fact, the Mayans tell us that the Sun’s movement into the center of our Milky Way during 2012 will ignite a mass spiritual awakening for humankind and a spiritual rebirth for our planet. Invoke the solar energies of this leonine New Moon to guide you into your center—your heart—, to further your own process of awakening.
Leo New Moon Key Words: Solar Light, Creative Actualization, Playfullness and the Inner Child, Heart Consciousness and Self Love
“When we say, you are creators, you think we are talking about creating furniture, or creating houses, or creating empires, or creating relationships.
That isn’t what we talk about when we talk about creating.
We are talking about the creating of your state of being.
And when you have understood that, and are giving that your dominant attention, then all of the physical trappings of this Universe will fall into alignment in such glorious fashion that you will amaze even yourself.
YOU CANNOT DO IT WITH ACTION. IT IS THROUGH FOCUSING UPON HOW YOU WANT TO FEEL.”
~ Abraham, The Law of Attraction
