This morning, we wake up to a Void Moon
in Cancer. However, at 10:56 AM EDT, Moon moves into Leo and squares
Mars newly placed in Scorpio (11:30 AM). One good way to handle this
is to work to restore or refurbish something. That calls for Scorpio
power (Restoration) and Leo power (Creativity) and besides, it could
be fun! Though some do consider my idea of fun to be a bit odd. So,
if you have something like this on your “one day when I have time
I'm going to do this” list, then today would be a good day to
tackle it...in more ways than one!
On a Universal level, Jupiter recently
left Cancer. We learned a lot (whether we wanted to or not) about how
we feel and how emotions affect us. How we acted on those emotions,
defined a part of who we are. Some discovered pieces of themselves
they didn't know they had. Have you ever done that? I have. Up until
I was about 30, I thought I was 5' 6”. Then, one day, during my
son's football physical, I measured myself while I was standing in
line. The measuring thing was set in inches. So, I asked someone to
help me with the math because my brain doesn't like numbers and I
hate math. They came back to me and said, “You are 5' 8.”
Moon square Mars can feel ambiguous. As
if you can't get motivated or can't get into what you are doing.
Dealing with two masters like Scorpio and Leo can be difficult. Look
to the positive expressions of each archetype to balance the energy
out.
At 3:35 PM Moon in Leo finds Jupiter.
This can be a wonderful feel good time or it can be a "things were bad
and now they feel HORRIBLE" time. Moon to Jupiter can bring warm and
generous feelings or it can take the negative you feel and put a
spotlight on it prompting some people to start the familiar roaring
of the drama queen. Remember that if your emotions are overboard and
people are offering you Oscar's at the end of the day. Maintain
perspective and try not to blow stuff out of proportion. However, if
you have a show to do...like an official one (some type of
performance) WOW are the skies ever friendly for you today!

At 6:43 PM, we have the New Moon in
Leo. You know the scene in the Lion King where the little monkey
holds Baby Simba up for the whole kingdom to admire? That's what Leo
New Moons remind me of.
This Leo New Moon is conjunct Jupiter
and square Mars in Scorpio. Our new baby lion is certainly royal
(conjunct Jupiter) and it looks like his kingdom may be in disrepair
because there is a lot of rebuilding to do (Mars in Scorpio).
On a Universal level, Jupiter recently
left Cancer. We learned a lot (whether we wanted to or not) about how
we feel and how emotions affect us. How we acted on those emotions,
defined a part of who we are. Some discovered pieces of themselves
they didn't know they had. Have you ever done that? I have. Up until
I was about 30, I thought I was 5' 6”. Then, one day, during my
son's football physical, I measured myself while I was standing in
line. The measuring thing was set in inches. So, I asked someone to
help me with the math because my brain doesn't like numbers and I
hate math. They came back to me and said, “You are 5' 8.”
That day, I discovered that not only
were there two inches of me that I had been in denial about for 30
years but, also, that I was much worse at math than I thought.
That is a literal example, but during
Jupiter in Cancer some people discovered they had feelings which are
another part of ourselves that has been repressed and denied.
Discovering something changes a person. Any time you discover
something new about yourself, it can be disorienting and confusing.
But, good or bad, the information is always helpful.
So, we have just passed through a time
when Jupiter taught us about emotions (among other things). Now,
Jupiter wants to turn the lights on who we actually are. Leo is where
we build our identity. Leo is where our inner child resides. Leo New
Moons are a time for presenting each of these parts of self
(identity/inner child) to the world in celebration.
Of course, Leo prefers that we do this
in a creative way. Perhaps you present a part of yourself by
displaying a new piece of artwork you just finished. Perhaps do this
by being generous and loving to others. Perhaps you go in the front
yard and sing out loud about how you are going to survive (not that
any Spiritual Counselors I know have done that recently...)
Either way, Leo New Moons call for a
celebration of self. And, in turn, a warm and generous celebration of
the baby lion in others. And that is exactly what I would use it for.
Who are you? Stand up and show me. YAY!
That was awesome! My turn...I am...
See how that works? Take some time
today to have some fun. You know? HAVE. FUN. Remember that? Celebrate
you. Express you in your own way. Celebrate others...your friends,
your family, your grocery store clerk. Celebrate all of it! Even if it is a little quirky..
If you find yourself in the midst of
devastation or a complete remodel, look around and celebrate the
fact that in the midst of the rubble...YOU are still standing! You
will survive.
Wherever you are, the Universe is
asking...”Who are you? Wait a minute, I can't hear you. Roar a
little louder, please. Now...WHO ARE YOU?”
And whether your Roar in reply is
booming, melodic, quiet or completely mute you wear it with pride and
share of your gifts generously. Hold that baby lion up for the world
to see!
