New Moon in Leo: Making Sense of Great Change

The last new moon seed stood across the sky from Pluto, dredging up all sorts of ‘underworld’ material.

Our next new moon, in Leo on August 16th, tightly squares Uranus. Uranus is a disruptive and innovative influence. A square aspect suggests some strong tension erupting inside of us, a need to make decisions and plant directions that support greater sovereignty.

From 2012 to 2015, Uranus and Pluto danced in a square aspect with one another. This was the first turning point in their cycle that began in the late 60s. Recall Arab Spring and Occupy Wall Street as key events during this opening square.

It feels like our last new moon opposite Pluto and our upcoming new moon square Uranus gives us an opportunity to integrate and embody key revolutions in our personal lives.

While the last few years have been full of upheaval, so were the years previous! Pluto entered Capricorn in 2008 and brought financial crisis, and we are just wrapping up that storyline, slowly.

gaze at the shadows cast by your proud and waving flag: new moon-solar eclipse in Leo

As creator of ‘nataleo.com’ I’d be remiss not to publish an article about the giant, important, awe-and-fear-inspiring, so-called “Great American Solar Eclipse” that is happening in the late degrees of Leo on Monday, wouldn’t I?

SO MUCH has been written on it, by vague, new-age-y astrologers and excellent, critical, well-researched astrologers and everyone in between. It can be overwhelming to try and contribute something interesting, unique, and fresh.

I don’t wish to repeat what others have said so well, and there are so many layers to this moment in time.

I never thought cat pee could make me so happy

Today is the beginning of a new lunar cycle in the fabulous sign of Leo. I planned to write a post about it but life got in the way this week! Here is a little update...stay tuned for the new moon blog coming out this weekend!

A week ago, my lover and I returned from a fun, refreshing, and romantic vacation. We raved, danced, socialized, nude-beached, spent time with friends and family, enjoyed lots of scenic driving, fucked/made sweet love, and connected through deep conversation.  After 2.5 weeks on the road away from our home and our cat, Marshall, we were both ready to return to Saskatoon.
