New Moon on Monday Astrology

22 July 2011

The Sun moves into Leo at 9:12 pm (pacific daylight time). 

Leo is the sign of the Lion.  Ruled by the Sun, Leo is known for its desire to shine. And like the Sun, Leo is bright and warm and generous.  Leo happens at the height of the Summertime, it’s the Fixed Fire sign. Leo is all about the good times, and somewhat set in its ways.  

Leo is the fifth sign, and therefore associated with the 5th House of creativity and extracurricular things.  Leo rules performance, it can sometimes be dramatic, it expresses itself. Leo creates its own perfect stage. 

Here are some absolutely oversimplified ways planets might manifest in Leo (or the 5th House): 

The Sun: Warm, Generous, Loves Attention

The Moon:  Needs to be Recognized

Mercury: Dramatic Speech, Shiny Words

Venus: Dramatic love, every romance is epic

Mars: Desires to be Noticed, Generous Fun

Jupiter: Dramatic Experiences

Saturn: Disciplined or Limited Creativity (you choose). 

Uranus: Science Fiction

Neptune: Passionate Imagination, Redeemed by Creativity

Pluto: Dramatic Transformations, Powerful Outlets

Look to what house (or houses) Leo falls in your chart.  That’s the area that will be spotlit for the next month (especially when Mercury goes retrograde). 

We all shine on,
