New Moon In Leo Meditation On Gratitude
Show Your Appreciation
At the New Moon in Leo, plant a seed to show your appreciation. Leo encourages you to express your most radiant self and live your life as if it were a pageant, with you starring in the lead role. The trick is to fully engage with the creative drama of life, while celebrating all the others who make it possible. After all, theater doesn’t happen without co-conspirators, directors, producers, and, most importantly, an appreciative audience.
Share Gratitude
This New Moon sets the stage to share your gratitude for those who support you, with big effect. The highest octave of Leo occurs with acts of generosity. As we approach the first of two intense energy waves of Leo season, be aware of the potential to feel aggravated, anxious, or even explosive. Embrace breakthroughs yet respect the need for limits. Give yourself permission to slow down and feel the earth beneath your feet by August 2.
Sense Of Purpose
Not only does Leo season teach us about self-confidence and appreciation, it also connects us to our core sense of purpose via the astrological rulership scheme. In astrology, each sign is governed by at least one planet. In Leo’s case, it relates to the all-powerful Sun and thereby illuminates an exceedingly important area of your life. (Yes, I realize the Sun is a star, not a planet. Please go here for more on that subject.) In this way, Leo helps you understand which life topics require your complete attention and participation. When you work to fulfill this purpose, you illuminate the way for others.
