The Sabian symbol for the Sun and Moon at 27* Leo is: The Luminescence of Dawn in the eastern sky. Dane Rudhyar says this symbol represents "the exalting challenge of new opportunities at the threshold of a new cycle." Dawn is the beginning of a new day, and we are in fact living it. Instead of fear, we are called upon to exalt in the excitement and joy that we are living in just the life we incarnated for.
Mercury conjuncts the Sun on August 17th, a day before this New Moon. Hopefully, our minds will be inspired to create something new in our lives that will help us deal with this continuing collective drama.
The interesting thi ng about this Leo Mercury and New Moon is that they inconjunct (150*) the Three Amigos in Capricorn, meaning that in some ways they can't 'see' the Capricorn planets without doing some stretching. What would that look like? Well, we've been immersed in this chaotic energy for over 6 months now. Perhaps the challenge is to step away from our concentration on this breakdown of culture and use that respite to break-through to new insights about our own creativity. Sometimes we have to step away from the crisis to get centered and open to new energies and new insights.
The Leo Sun energies want to light us up and warm us with their generous spirit, their need to create and their powerful sense of Self. Aligned with the Leo Moon, we can access our innate Leo energies on an instinctual level and see what wants to come out and play. Look to see which house Leo rules in your birth chart. That's a good place to start.
Mars in Aries is a big player in this New Moon. Mars trines (120*) the New Moon and Mercury, adding its dynamic Aries fire to Leo's fixed fire, reinforcing and supporting whatever endeavors Leo is working on. This is an aspect that wants you to 'be' the fire, the enthusiasm, the warmth. Let it flow through you and have its way with you!
The Sabian symbol for Mars at 25* Aries is: The possibility for humanity to gain experience at two levels of being. Rudhyar states: " Be open. Be able and willing to shape your translucent mind in the form revealing spiritual fulfillment. And you will be able to experience life and power on inner as well as outer planes."
A t the same time as it works with the Leo planets, it challenges the Three Capricorn Amigos to keep changing. This square produces inner stress and tension, which can be relieved by playing with your creative fire. Don't get mad, get creative!
People are worried about this Mars retrograde coming up on September 9 th since Mars in Aries can be warlike. But we don't have to fall for the old ways of using energy. Mars in Aries can help us find ourselves and our identity. It is our assertion and our ability to grapple with problems. It is our desire nature which drives life. What do we desire most?
