New Moon in Leo - It’s time to lay the groundwork and sew the seeds to shine brighter than ever before!

Hi, it’s Keiko. 



With nearly 90% of the elderly having received their first dose, progress is starting to be made with regards to Covid-19 vaccinations in Japan.  However most younger people have still yet to be vaccinated, and the number of infections continues to rise everyday. 



If it weren’t for the Olympic Games, I’m sure the Japanese government’s poor handling of the vaccine rollout would be more examined by the media than it has been lately. 



On that note, this month’s New Moon horoscope also packs a punch, and to be honest, it’s quite severe! 



To use an analogy… 



The Sun in Leo is like a schoolboy who wants to have fun, but Saturn, the planet that keeps a strict watch over him to make sure he doesn’t get out of line, is 180 degrees away, in a very harsh position.  On top of that, Uranus, the planet that brings about changes in the times, is at 90 degrees, taking on the role of a stern critic, and pointing out that  “things can’t not be allowed to remain as they are now.”  



Each of the celestial bodies involved is adamant that their position is absolutely non-negotiable.



Whether it’s status, prestige, ambition, conscience, money, or the right to veto… everyone is putting forth a sound argument from their own perspective, and it’s turning into an all-out midsummer battle between all of the parties involved! 



But to be honest, that’s also the Universe’s intention.  



When all is said and done, there’s going to be a reconciliation of ideals and reality. 



Incidentally, reconciliation doesn’t necessarily mean “compromise.”  



Instead, you should think of reconciliation as, “taking the best measures possible at the time” rather than, “compromising at a random place.”



If you do your best each and every time, in the end you’ll end up with the form that you envisioned.

It’s under these circumstances that the New Moon in Leo will occur.  



Which makes this the perfect time to start steadily preparing to achieve the goal that will make you shine brighter than ever before!



Leo and Aquarius are both signs that teach us the importance of self-focus.  Leo in particular teaches us the joy and pleasure of living.  



Leo’s energy is something that everyone needs in the Air Era. 



It teaches us not only the value of having a strong sense of self, but also that it’s totally natural to have fun and be assertive. 



With so many different entities all trying to assert the importance of self-focus at the same time, how should you go about applying this blazing cosmic energy into your life? 



Here are some questions to ask yourself… 



  1. What do you find to be fun or exciting?

  2. Do you ever feel guilty about asserting your thoughts or enjoying yourself to your heart’s content?

  3. Where do you think your appeal lies? 



Were you able to answer these questions without hesitation? 



If you had trouble answering them, I suggest you read aloud the following example of a Leo New Moon Power Wish. 



I intend to live nobly and proudly as a hero / heroine on the grand stage of life. 



The Leo New Moon will occur on August 8th at 9:50am EST.  Be sure to write your very own Power Wishes within 10 hours of this time, and if that is not possible within 24 hours of this time. 



I hope you will take advantage of the power of the Leo New Moon to pursue the pleasures of life. 



There are bound to be some tough times ahead, but in spite of that I wish you a summer vacation full of passion and joy!
