21 Leo 30

Impulses that have been smoldering all summer catch fire with August’s Leo New Moon. The event takes influences from two overlapping cycles, rolls them into a fireball and hurtles them — and us — forward.

Under normal circumstances, the Leo New Moon gives a boost to our egos, playfulness and need for recognition and attention. This time around, the Leo New Moon is not merely priming our inner spark. It is pouring desire and willpower into that spark and catalyzing dramatic developments.

The catalyst angle comes from the Leo New Moon’s tight, easy flow to Uranus, cosmic agent provocateur. Pressures and impulses from the last three years, and from the end of June in particular, are catching fire. (Again.) This link imbues the Leo New Moon with the radically liberating, individuating end of the change imperative that has rocked the foundations of our lives since 2012, as the unforeseeable and perspective-altering (Uranus) clashed with the unavoidable and transformational (Pluto).

This summer is taking us through a corridor between constant upheaval and the new platforms to come this fall. With this Leo New Moon, we’re hitting a section with tripwires, which will break us from remaining tendrils of the past and shoot us more and more toward our individual, distinct paths. The tripwires were set at the end of June (the exact date was the 27th, but the days on either side could also play a role). That’s when Jupiter warmed up the spot now being occupied by the Sun, Moon and Venus.

All of them are in an open flow with unpredictable, mind-blowing Uranus, which will continue for the Sun and Venus into next week. A spark from late June will catch fire now. (The ends of last March and September may fuel the story line, too.) The traveling flame will hit the end of the fuse and set off the dynamite. The next stage of the saga will erupt. Another shoe or five will fall. Another can of spinach will appear — a case of it, more likely — and send us into action, fast, furious and double-time.
