This New Moon is fused tightly with Mars, increasing initiative and drive, and giving us the energy and fire to initiate new projects with flair and exuberance. There is a tremendous amount of energy available to get things done and get new projects underway, particularly the ones that require that extra effort and daring. The planet Mercury joins the harmonious “grand fire” triangle between Saturn, Uranus, and the North Node to essentially bring the energy of innovation to our outdated, repetitious patterns and projects so that we might ultimately break through these limitations and create a new path that is born from the heart. Venus makes an opposing aspect to Saturn during this New Moon, perhaps reflecting a sense of duty or obligation in relationships and in possibly settling old karma from the past. A balanced perspective is the aim here. If we engage in a spirit of light-heartedness, curiosity and open-mindedness in these encounters and the release the self-righteousness of our own position, we are much more likely to create an understanding environment that bodies well for making a connection. This New Moon is in stark contrast to June’s watery New Moon in Cancer, which supported an inward glance toward the emotional landscape. Now with 7 planets in fire signs, this months theme has to do with inviting inspiration to inform our path forward, and act with exuberance and courage to create that vision. The Lion of the New Moon awakens us from our laborious travails and rouses us to celebrate, to play, to live large, to take a chance, to shine. Leo energy invites us to recall our inner child, the part of us that is full of wonder and awe about all of life and how it works. Leo evokes the energy of the performer, reminding us to shine brightly and live out loud. Leo’s zodiac symbol, the lion, challenges us to rise up and summon the confidence to take charge and express our force of character.

other witches: “if you don’t do an entire ceremony with oils and an offer to the gods before/while you cleanse then you’re not really cleansing and you’re just waving burning leaves around.”

me: *at 2am in my underwear, clutching two lavender incense sticks, walking around my apartment bc i thought i saw something moving and i haven’t been able to sleep and have a really bad vibe*: “you’re getting the fuck out of my place and you’re getting out now, bitch.”

The Celts honoured watery places as givers of life and as links between the physical realm and the other world. It was mainly through the waters that druids could connect and be instructed by the souls of the dead
