Sunday, AUGUST 4

The New Moon occurs this morning at 7:13 AM EDT in the sign of Leo. This marks the beginning of a new lunar cycle, bringing the chance for a fresh start. The energy of this New Moon in Leo can potentially enhance our romantic life, creative endeavors, hobbies, and relationships with children. It’s a time to build self-confidence and healthy pride in ourselves, and to assume more responsibility for our lives.

We might aim to improve the Leo-ruled areas of our charts in the coming weeks. It’s time to awaken our “inner child” and find ways to express ourselves creatively.

This lunation harmonizes with Mars and Jupiter as these planets approach alignment in the sign of Gemini, boosting our confidence and enterprising natures.

However, with today’s Venus-Neptune quincunx, we may find ourselves torn between seeing things realistically and nurturing a fantasy or looking the other way. This influence can breed insecurity, doubts about others or about our own feelings and perceptions, and even indecision.

It’s prudent to delay important decisions if possible, especially with Venus in the last degree of a sign and Mercury on the brink of turning retrograde.

Venus then moves into Virgo, where it will stay until the 29th. Virgo is sensual yet practical. We may find more pleasure in our work or wellness routines than usual during Venus’s stay in Virgo, and the satisfaction of a job well done is particularly rewarding. Pleasures and pastimes that serve a useful purpose become more appealing.

We express our love through practical means and gestures–running errands, paying attention to detail, or simply being there for our loved ones. However, there may be some nervousness, and we should be mindful of a tendency to worry, overanalyze, or fret, especially in our relationships.
