Leo (Jul 24 - Aug 23)

The seed grows into knowledge and life.. ~~sabian symbol

It is your New Moon, Leo. What are you going to do with it? At present you do not see an outlet for what you have to give, although you are in a position to bring great healing to the situation. Talk about decisions that will make changes. You feel a hesitation about giving your heart to someone or some situation. These doubts will put you in a position to lead the way emotionally. If the situation is unmovable than withdraw completely. The people around you will learn from you. This is about cultivation and teaching others the importance and wisdom of emotions. Lao Tzu said, “To see things in the seed, that is genius.”

Aries (Mar 21- Apr 20)

A woman activist in an emotional speech, dramatizing her cause. ~~sabian symbol

There are many elements in your life that are not working the way they need to. To deal with your worry it will be good to keep your hands busy. You are definitely ready to do some repair. This, actually, is the way everything is supposed to happen. That way you can speak up about what is bothering you and others will learn about cause and effect. You are trying to lean into your intuition to figure out what to do next, because your creativity is on the fritz. Susan B. Anthony once said, “Cautious, careful people, always casting about to preserve their reputations….can never affect a reform.” Be unrelenting and conscientious in your day to day life. Once you change your attitude you will be able to find hope.

Taurus (Apr 21 - May 21)

The human soul, in its eagerness for new experiences, seeks embodiment. ~~sabian symbol

You really are not seeing things as they are right now. Your dreams are probably showing you all kinds of subconscious crazy stuff. You have been offered a gift on an emotional level. How you use this gift will determine what will come next. You are saying all kinds of things. It is true you do not want to hampered in with rules and regulations. But think of those around you and how you are influencing them. They will emulate your example. Make a good showing. If you start a conflict or move forward too boldly you will create a bad situation for you and all those around you. Earl Nightingale once said, “We must be the epitome, the embodiment of success. We must radiate success before it will come to us. We must first become mentally, from an attitude standpoint, the people we wish to become.” Develop your inner motivation so you can be a person that you can admire. Although the beginning has difficulties, if you remain calm and centered you will have a successful outcome.

Gemini (May 22 - June 22)

A massive, rocky shore resists the pounding of the sea. ~~sabian symbol

Although you are in a stable spot, the storm has and will still beat on you. It is hard to keep your attention on your daily life right now because of it. Your emotions are tiring you. The flirty, charming side of you is inoperable, feeling shy and self-conscious. There are conflicts in communications with an important relationship in your life. Just like Leo, you do not see an outlet for what you have to give. However, you are sure about one thing. You are ready to venture out emotionally and explore new territory. Be direct with the ones that are working against you. Discredit their influence. Believe it or not, you are progressing. Organize yourself, because even though the storm is over, you may run into some after-shock. Daniel Defoe said, “The height of human wisdom is . . . to make a calm within, under the weight of the greatest storm without.”

Cancer (Jun 23 - Jul 23)

A council of ancestors has been called to guide a man. ~~sabian symbol

You are well on your way to attaining what you want. However, there is a drama happening in your life. You really do not want any part of the mental chattering and maneuvering. You have no manipulation or strategies. You do not even have roots fashioned into your dreams. There are more steps to go through. Ask questions to those that have come before you and have done it before. If anyone comes back to you and criticizes the way you are going about things, do not worry. You are at the beginning and you can use their comments to improve yourself. You will gain the respect and admiration of those around you, so that you may pass the knowledge onto them. There is an old Native American Proverb, “We do not inherit the land from our ancestors; we borrow it from our children.”

Virgo (Aug 24 - Sep 23)After a heavy storm, a rainbow. ~~sabian symbol

You are open to new possibilities now, even if you are not aiming straight for them. It has been a difficult time and this has been good. How else would you have been able to explore the darker reaches of your spirit? Someone once said, “The soul would have no rainbow, had the eyes no tears.” It is not time to jump into the new world. You have everything you need, but it will be good to wait. What you say these days is teaching those around you much of what they need to know. Your thinking is clear. Direct things from behind the scenes and when things do move, you will see the perfection in your life.

Libra (Sep 24 - Oct 23)

Men travelling a narrow path, seeking illumination. ~~sabian symbol

Your living situation feels unfair, I know. When are these difficult aspects going to end? You are not afraid of the work, nor are you lacking direction. It is the other people in your environment that do not seem to be cooperating. Damn. I am glad that you are not completely caught up in the drama. The Buddha says, “There are two mistakes one can make along the road to truth — not going all the way, and not starting.” Be careful about what you begin. You will find that it is the foundation for what you experience next. There will not be an end and your fate will be sealed. Continue to seek illumination.

Scorpio (Oct 24 - Nov 22)

A new continent rising out of the ocean. ~~sabian symbol

You have the strength to move oceans. Obstacles will not be a problem because you will create other options. Andre Gide once said, “One does not discover new continents without consenting to lose sight of the shore for a very long time.” If you need to ask for advice, keep an attitude of acceptance that will show your innocence. You will get what you want. Handling numerous spiritual aspects will be key and you will not have any problems with it. All in all, the new opportunities are happening exactly as they should. If you or someone around you does not feel peace, then they do not see the whole picture. Reunite yourself, avoid elitism, and find the true thread in creation.

Sagittarius (Nov 23 - Dec 21)

A new moon reveals that it’s time for people to go ahead with their different projects. ~~sabian symbol

Katharine Butler Hathaway said, “A person needs at intervals to separate himself from family and companions and go to new places. He must go without his familiars in order to be open to influences, to change.” The new moon affords you a chance to make some much-needed change in your life. These are changes that you have not been able to talk about before, but now will have the freedom of your expression. You will be doing more than your share of spiritual work so it maybe necessary to keep somethings to yourself. Just tell everyone that you will have to go somewhere for awhile and then go off and do your mental work alone. You will find that life joins everyone into its process of recycling. What you begin now will take time. It is not an overnight process, nor will it produce dramatic results right away. Gradual and consistent efforts and small steps will lead you straight to your goal.

Capricorn (Dec. 21st - Jan. 20th)

Intoxicated chickens dizzily flap their wings trying to fly. ~~sabian symbol

You are trying to move forward much quicker than your limitations will allow you. You have had a dissatisfaction that you want to move past. Situations that have not been moving are now manifesting into fulfilled wishes. Intoxicating! Even through all the difficulties, you are so well behaved. This is your prize. But, hold on. You will have to be careful now that your healing has begun. Keeping yourself talking will only block you from what your dreams want to tell you. Henry Miller, a fellow Capricorn, said, “The aim of life is to live, and to live means to be aware, joyously, drunkenly, serenely, divinely aware.” It will be best to allow someone else to lead. This will give you a chance to plan for your future. Happy New Moon!

Aquarius (Jan 21 - Feb 19)

A pugilist (boxer) entering the ring. ~~sabian symbol

There is a struggle in your world to determine who will be the leader. A big change is happening. You maybe keeping your thoughts to yourself, but you are not happy about it. The caution you feel will help in some ways, but if you are too cautious the situation will go downhill. This is something that you have tolerated for a very long time. To change things feels radical, but necessary. It is your mistake and that is what makes things hard, because the changes you have to make may hurt those you love. In the end, it will all be fine. George Carlin says, “Well, if crime fighters fight crime and fire fighters fight fire, what do freedom fighters fight? They never mention that part to us, do they?” Create guidelines, definitions, reasonable expectations, equal considerations and clear plans for your future. You will have a successful outcome.

Pisces (Feb 20 - Mar 20)

In the heat of the noon, a man takes a siesta. ~~sabian symbol

Dreams come true and, still, sometimes waiting is necessary. You have all the necessary elements to help you get through a very difficult ordeal. Good communication, receptiveness and energy are right there for you. You just have a few key elements that will not let you move forward. It feels unfair because all you want is a basic human right! Settle down, dear Pisces. Any tears are only going to make things more difficult. Any fighting is only going to make things more difficult. You have two choices: either wait and stay close to the situation you want to influence or leave all together. Joan Klempner once said, “To achieve the impossible dream, try going to sleep.” My advice is to wait for your wish. Use the time you have to wait to improve your image, hold back opinions and look at how you affect others. Dreams do come true.
