The New Moon in Leo of August 19, 2020
Every month, the New Moon is a magical moment when the Sun and Moon merge and the Light of Mother Moon is not visible in the sky.
With this magical retreat of the Moon, the power of the unconscious increases.
It is the breeding ground for everything needed for the growth of the next cycle, the phase to the Full Moon. 
Every New Moon is like a moment of awakening, of birth.
The New Moon at 26º35 ’in magnanimous Leo is spontaneous, passionate and exuberant and provides an opportunity to warm your unique Self to the rays of the Sun.
With the creative process of the New Moon in Leo, we not only break down old patterns, but try to find the form of a new creation.
The New Moon conjunct Fixed Star Alphard and Mercury forms a trine with Mars in Aries.
This energy wants to share thoughts and ideas and tell you what is on your mind.
With this aspect, words are on the tip of your tongue with this aspect!
However, the ego-focused Leo energy, we initially think for ourselves. A wonderful aspect for initiating new creative projects and pursuing our passions, but this fiery energy can also be too fiery, wanting more than we could possible imagine.
However, due to the many retrograde outer planets Uranus, Neptune and Pluto and Jupiter and Saturn in Capricorn, we have to deal with resistance, procrastination and reconsideration.
Especially retrograde Uranus in Taurus gives us a collective sense of insecurity and destabilization on all levels. Mars in Aries square retrograde Saturn in Capricorn inhibits and frustrates when fiery Leo thoughts and ideas are not shared.
The quincunx of the New Moon/Mercury with retrograde Saturn in Capricorn indicates that there are limitations that we have to abide by. What we want is not always realistic or deserved.
Keep in mind that we have to adjust our expectations.
The more we pursue goals, the more resistance we get.
Rather than starting new projects or blindly pursuing desires, it’s better to stick with what you already have.
This New Moon does not bring us what we want, but it does reveal deep-seated problems.
The best way tot deal with this is an open mind, flexibility and adaptability.
So be realistic and be close to yourself. Have patience, make plans. Trust yourself.
Dare to be a child again under the rays of the Sun, so that the path to growth and transformation is made possible.
Venus in Cancer is sextile retrograde Uranus in Taurus and Neptune retrograde in Pisces is sextile retrograde Jupiter and Pluto in Capricorn.
This pleasant aspect offers us the possibilities to do just that.
This influence lasts for four weeks until the New Moon in Virgo on September 17, 2020.
The best time to make plans is during the Waxing phase of the Moon, the New Moon from August 19 to the Full Moon in Pisces on September 2, 2020.
Happy New Moon!
