WHATS GOING ON WITH THE PLANETS
With our beautiful Sun, Moon, Venus and Mars all in Leo, and then Chiron and Jupiter also in fire signs – the energies are seriously heating up.
Mercury is going direct again just forty-seven minutes after the New Moon, and back into flow we go still sitting in the watery intuitive energy of Cancer! This fresh direct movement of Mercury is allowing for a time to truly re-evaluate our lives reflecting on the past few weeks and moving forward adjusting ourselves and our lives to what is most true in our hearts and souls.
You can expect a spark of ‘lightness’ and optimism on your love life, finances, creativity and leisure thanks to Venus our planet of love, as well as the need for freedom, experimentation and open-mindedness from Uranus – which may manifest as a fresh of breath air or some anxiety depending on your comfort levels and mindset. Uranus is also promising some unexpected turns, twists, changes and even behaviours – so get ready to ride the wave!
Don’t be surprised if a wave of impulsivity comes over you – have fun with it, just be smart!
POWERFUL MESSAGES: NUMEROLOGY + TAROT THIS NEW MOON
Numerologically, there is a powerful message to those located in certain parts of the world when this grand New Moon occurs – you probably noticed it – 11:11/ 1:11!
11:11 is an indication of an important and increased connection to higher consciousness. It also corresponds with the ‘Strength’ card in the Tarot, which is symbolic od Leo and the month of August – coincidence? Definitely not! Both the ‘Strength’ Tarot card and Leo correspond to the heart chakra or the ‘Heart/Christ Consciousness’. Perhaps this is a portal or gateway into a whole new chapter, with a whole new being, both individually and/or collectively during this Leo New Moon.
1:11 is a sign that the Universe has just taken a snapshot of your feelings and emotions and translated them through your thought. So – this is a powerful time to get your creator vibes going, thinking about what you do what and allowing them to manifest in the most magnificent way possible. Let go of thinking about what you don’t want. Remember how powerful your mind is – you have within you the magic that created worlds and realities, of course you can create your dream life!

TUNE IN
The potency of any ritual depends on the way in which you enter it – prepare by putting yourself into ritual mode, mind body and soul. Take a moment to ground yourself, be in your body, notice how gravity holds and connects you to the Earth – solid, strong and secure.
Imagine your body as an ancient temple—bless this temple. Imagine sacred water and flowers being poured all the way down from your head to your toes. All anxiety and negativity being washed away – your judgements, your distracted mind, your worried heart; washed away.
Tune into your heart with humility and honesty. Offer yourself, your time and your attention to the Moon and all that she holds.
During the New Moon all is surrounded by darkness, a time when psychic energy is at its high and all inter-dimensional portals are open, so solitude and a place indoors will serve you well.
Visualise a ring of fragrant flowers and herbs surrounding you, protecting you knowing that you are safe and relaxed. Breathe deeply and feel the power of the Sun and the New Moon pouring into your circle.
Imagine the energies of the Leo New Moon gathering into your circle – feel the warm, radiant, strong, generous and open-heartedness of Leo.
Feel the enthusiasm and optimism like a happy child; playful and creative.
ALLOW YOUR SEED OF INTENTIONS TO TAKE FORM
Gather your intentions in any way or form you desire – written messages, pictures, symbols etc – that you want to manifest using this powerful Lunar Cycle.
Truly open your heart to receiving your desired outcome, trusting that all will unfold in perfect timing. Acknowledge and trust that this ritual has aligned you with the energies of your desire and you are on your way to manifestation!
Before closing the ritual, ask your Higher Self if there is a message for you that you at this time. This may come in words, as a picture, a body sensation or a sound. Give yourself time to receive this message, acknowledge it and write down anything that you feel is relevant.
With gratitude for the opportunity to perform this ritual thank yourself for all that is, returning back to normal awareness.
Put out all candles/incense and be mindful when dealing with candles and fire. Always think safety first.
