THE MOON IS IN LEO TODAY! Keywords: Leadership, bossy, children, generosity, dramatic, ego, royalty, physical strength, playful, demanding, strong will, fun, sunny disposition, the stage

The Leo Moon is trine (easy and effortless energy) your 5th house of pleasurable activities, dating, love affairs, playtime/acting, sensual emotions, lovers, parenthood and sexuality, creativity, artistic pursuits, hobbies, recreation, procreation, children. It also includes leisure, games, sports, self-fulfillment, joy and bliss.

Folks there is a lot of important information here so everyone gets the same horoscope today because it is that important. Believe me, you want this much information and understanding to get, the get. The basic nutshell of the NEW MOON IN LEO is that there is a very strong desire for a fresh start and new beginning for self-improvement. This isn't about being perfect. Remember the Leo motto, "I will therefore I am." I WILL DO IT! Self-improvement and perfectionism are two completely different things. I want you to remember that when a New Moon occurs there is an 'orb of influence' for right at about two weeks although the impact will be for an entire year, although in 6 months when we experience the Full Moon in Leo, that will be your 6 month check-up to see how you are doing. Think self-improvement, self-improvement, self-improvement.

For your Sun Sign, this impacts the keywords in the first paragraph above. I really want to stress that you study the house in your personal natal chart that is ruled by Leo as well. If your 2nd house (in your personal natal) of self-worth and personal income is ruled by Leo, then the self-improvement would be in this house. So yes, there are two houses to consider here, the house as an an entire sign (1st house) and the house ruled by Leo in your personal natal chart. Leo is a very proud sign, so make certain that you are not too proud to improve this house or that you are not so proud that you are braggadocious and arrogant. Even a bragging and arrogant attitude needs self-improvement. Also keep in mind that Leo is naturally ruled by the Sun and we cannot survive without the Sun. Think about this Sun shining in your Leo house and how necessary it is for you to learn and grow in this house. Certainly your Sun Sign is Leo but the Sun actually rules Leo. This Sun shining brilliantly . . figuratively and literally in this house is vital to your existence. Nail down this new cycle (New Moon) in Leo in this particular house and it will feed you Sunbeams (Leo Sun) and Moonbeams (Leo Moon) for an entire year!

Even though the New Moon is in Leo and Jupiter is in Leo, let's stay focused on the Sun in Leo for a minute here. The Sun is not only in the astrological calendar month of Leo right now, the Sun is actually Leo's ruling (home) planet. Every single Sun Sign has a ruling (home) planet and the Sun just happens to be Leo's. When the Sun is in the sign of Leo, this is when the Sun is the strongest. The Sun represents Life force and vitality. The Sun is the 'Giver of Life'. Imagine a Life without the Sun, then there would be no Life. Zippo, none, nothing, zero, gone! In other words, Life without the Sun is dead. This is why you will never hear about a Leo entertaining death or the end. It is rare that a Leo will ever entertain the mind with their own death, much less anyone else's. Leo's Love Life!

Having said that, this energy brings about such vitality, vim and verve that it has strength, both physical strength and inner strength, that it is unmatchable. When that much Life force is present, there is an animation, a presence of enthusiasm and invigoration, that is both contagious and infectious. When you want a mountain moved, you call a Leo and I guarantee that mountain will be moved come hell or high water, it's moving! What makes a spirit come alive is creative self-expression. The spirit was made to produce, build and create, not just sit there. The spirit wants to bring something forth and spring into Life. Think about the plants and how they grow toward the Sun. Once the Sun rises and is lit up then everything turns toward it.

The Sun attracts! Think about your kids or when you were a little kid and drew pictures of the Sun, it always had a smile face on it because the Sun makes us feel happy and alive. It just seems all is better when the Sun shines. For this reason, Leo's have a natural sunny disposition. It is only natural that we are attracted to the Sun.

The Sun is huge, it is dramatic and at times it can be blinding and too much to handle. When Leo energy is channeled inappropriately then it acts out and burns. Leo naturally rules children, child-like behavior, the playground, romance, intimacy, Love, joy, bliss, fun, pleasure and creativity. All of these things are fun, lit-up types of energy, which is exactly why it is so important to channel Leo energy into happy and sunny filled energy. If this energy is fed straight into the ego, then it will end up burning us and we wilt inside. We shine from the inside out, not from the outside in.

New Moon's are powerful energies that are activated for a two-week period from the date of the New Moon and it is this two-week 'activation period' that can and will last us for an entire year, until the next New Moon in Leo on August 14, 2015. Remember, Leo is physically strong and strong-willed, so don't tell me that you can't do it. If you want to, then you will. I know a quadriplegic who drives and goes to work every single day, so don't tell me that you can't do it, whatever it is. Where there is a will, there is a way. The motto for Leo is, "I will therefore I am." The question is, will you? What will you? What will you agree to? What say your will?

If I wrote your Expansive Natal Chart, then look at the "The Houses" section that I included and read all about the house that is ruled by Leo. The motto, "I will therefore I am" along with all of this energy that I just described should be brought to Life in this area. This is where the Sun and Moon are shining both sunbeams and moonbeams on this house this very minute. Jupiter is expanding this house as well. If you happen to have an Interception in Leo, which means that Leo does not rule a house cusp in your chart, which means it is sitting between two house cusps, then look to the Sun in your chart to bring out this "I will" energy. Quite honestly folks, when it comes to "I will," you either will or you will not. "I can't" usually means "I won't" or some other contraction of an excuse. YES, you can!

This New Moon is a new beginning and a fresh start. Go stand in front of the mirror and tell yourself, "I will . . . . " Smack yourself across the face and wake the hell up. Splash some cold water on your face and get those eyes open. LIGHT UP! When you see a Leo get their picture taken, they always look straight into the camera. This is showing their courage and they will look you straight in the eye. Go look in the mirror (the camera of all camera's) and face yourself. If you need to throw yourself down on the floor in the fetal position and suck your thumb for a few minutes, then okay, do it, then get up and get on with your "I will . . . . " Hey, I've thrown myself down on the floor and let it all out in order to be done with it and to get over myself. I'll admit, I'm quite capable of pathetic behavior in order to thrust me into strong-willed productive behavior. Leo energy is dramatic and will go there. LOL! As I always say, "Whatever it takes to get, the get, is what it takes." Do what you have to do to LIGHT UP and start living in the Light again.
