This New Moon is made extra potent by a conjunction to Mars which lends power, dynamism, and determination to the Leo impetus to set out on our own unique path, and playfully create in a way that is true to ourselves. The message is clear: forget what other people want or expect of you, give up trying to please others; the path to joy is through expressing yourself in a way that is true to you. And that NECESSARILY means disappointing others and/or facing criticism.
There’s lots going on this week, both in our relationships, and on the world stage. There are always positive ways to use the energy, no matter how intense. There is a real potential this week to work through relationship issues that had been brewing beneath the surface, and to thereby strengthen relationships. Balanced relationships are likely to receive a boost of positive energy. There’s also opportunity for us, in our personal lives, as well as in society, to work toward greater freedom and justice--and sometimes, it’s violence or confrontation that spurs this positive change.
