New Moon in Leo
The new moon is a time to foster that which we desire to grow--what would we call into our lives in greater measure? Leo Moon is a time to consider our sense of personal power and self-esteem as well as our relationship with authority. Leo Moons are also a time to invest in activities that bring us pleasure--hobbies and recreation, creative arts and entertainment. Which of these areas in your life would benefit from increased attention?
Phase: New Moon
Purpose: Beginnings
Theme: Abundance
Sign: Leo
Quality and element: Fixed Fire
Ruling Planet: Sun
Stone
Pyrite
Keywords: Money and Manifestation, Action, Creativity
I love the overlap of the fiery aspects of Pyrite’s centrifugal spark of movement and the Fixed Fire we find in the Leo moon today! Here we find the continuation of the Leo New Moon message--do more of what you love! Pyrite brings the focus to self-realization through action and firmly grounds the message of abundance into money. Pyrite encourages us to explore the possibilities behind aligning our income with what ignites passion in our souls. Your medicine--the part of you there to be realized, celebrated and expressed in sacred and joyous celebration-- is needed and necessary.
Pyrite pairs well with carnelian, citrine, and hematite.
Affirmation: My will is strong, and I use it to accomplish the manifestation of my most benevolent hopes and desires.
Oil
Wild Orange
Anchor word: Good Fortune
I attract abundance.
Feel the joy you would have once you have reached your goals here and now. You will achieve your dreams fastest that way.
Wild Orange supports a positive mood and sparks our creativity. Activating the Third Chakra, it is also associated with joy and playfulness and can help to release a mindset of scarcity, freeing us to feel into the abundance in our lives and playfully celebrating it. This oil today is so beautifully in resonance with the energy of the Leo New Moon and the Pyrite stone for today--be who you are, do what you love, manifest your passion and celebrate the abundance in your life!
Tarot
10 of Swords
Swords are the suit of Air, the element of ideas and quick movement and the tenth card of each suit represents a completion of a journey or process. In this position, the 10 of swords could signify rigid thinking or attitudes in the past, or the completion of an evolution of thought or attitude in the past. The sword pierced figure is a metaphor for the end of one life and the beginning of a new chapter.
14 Temperance
We only create reconciliation.
The Temperance card evokes balance, harmony, and especially alchemy. The angel has alchemical symbols for the Sun/gold (circle with the center dot on the forehead) and the element of Fire (triangle on the chest) evoking one more time the Fiery nature of the Leo New Moon, Pyrite and Wild Orange oil. This card encourages us to be aware not only of the interplay between opposing energies, situations or personalities, but to look for the places where this interplay creates change in the energies at hand. In this position, Temperance calls attention to the places in your life today where the balance of opposites is creating a transformation in the energies at play.
Queen of Swords, Reversed
Queen of Swords makes a repeat showing in the future position, but she’s reversed today. She represents thoughts, attitudes and ideas based upon careful consideration, wisdom gained through experience, and an ability for precise and clear communication. Swords represent the element of Air, bringing an aspect of swift change to this card. In this position, the reversed Queen of Swords indicates a future need to direct your careful consideration and wisdom towards an inner aspect of evolution and transformation, or the arrival of a person who will engage you with eloquence and intelligence to evoke change.
