6 Zodiacs Who Will Enter A New Life Era During This Week’s New Moon

With this New Moon in Leo occurring on August 16th, fixed and fire signs will feel the impact of this transit the most. It will feel much more favorable compared to last year, when Saturn was in Aquarius, making these signs hone their skills and take things much slower than they would like. On August 16th, these signs will experience a new era where they can flourish creatively and will not be afraid to feel their emotions. Leo’s energy will feel a little turbulent with the square from Uranus, but it will allow them to assert themselves and pursue their dreams for the next six months. See how this transit will impact your rising, sun, and moon signs.

Aries 

You are overcoming the challenges from the past and are pushing ahead without letting anyone take you down. It is your moment to step up and go after what you want. With the Sun in Leo, you can shine brightly and stand out with ease. There is no one stopping you but yourself. Leo Season will reawaken that warrior energy that may have been dormant which will allow you to reclaim your power and to release whatever has been holding you back. While Venus retrograde has you looking to the past of your romantic relationships, you are now encouraged to look forward. Move slowly, move gracefully, but do not stop. You are pushed to feel more courageous and to pursue what makes you happy. The wave of emotions now can be powerful, but you know what when things calm down, you will feel a lot more comfortable with the direction you want to go in. Continue on your path of greatness Aries, because you can do anything.

Taurus 

Having self-doubts is pretty normal, especially if you are anticipating major changes. However, this transit is a friendly reminder that rushing will lead you to some setbacks, so take it easy and you will be able to rediscover yourself when you can practice more patience. The energy now can feel challenging, especially with your ruler still retrograde, charging away in the sign of Leo. It could feel like your goals and ambitions may be disintegrating before your eyes but do not fret. This Lunar transit is about bringing that calm and peace into your world. When you may feel a little afraid, you know to find the courage the Lion can bring. The New Moon wants you to stay determined and it will also add a little optimism. The greatest changes begin when we begin to change our mindset. Go easy on yourself and stop rushing the process. 

Leo 

Leo Season has been an awakening for many fire and fixed signs. It may have us all acting out of character as we rush to rebuild what may become undone during this Venus transit. However, you may be on cloud nine with the Sun, Moon, and Venus in your sign, making you the main event in this show. This New Moon transit brings you more reminders that you are indeed the star and should not settle for less or think of yourself in a negative light. The Moon will feel powerful during this transit because the Sun is in a favorable position, pushing you and all of us ahead and not fear being center stage. We are encouraged to clear the blockages, not live in the past and look ahead to the future. Leo energy is all about getting more connected with who we are and being proud. If you have not expressed love to yourself, you will begin to do so now. Express yourself and embrace the radiance you emanate. The next six months will be about falling in love with you.

Scorpio 

Friendships and romantic partnerships will now be in a transformative phase for you, as the moon can stand out on August 16th. There may have been changes that occurred when Saturn was in Aquarius, evolving your relationships with others. As Venus in Leo continues to be retrograde at the highest point in your chart, once again, you are going to focus on those relationships that are no longer in your life. For the next six months, you could meet new people or meet people from the past or hear about them. However, it is up to you to control whether you want them in your life or not. Nevertheless, the energy from the New Moon is here to make you feel a lot more in sync with your ambitions since you are driven to excel. It will also show you what it is you seek in others. You are not one to be stopped now as you experience your awakening and living in your truth.

Sagittarius 

Connecting with a part of yourself that has been lost will be pivotal for this transit. With Venus currently retrograde, you are reevaluating a lot regarding your creative passion and the direction you may want to go in with your career or studies. With this energy concentrated in the sign of Leo, you will be more connected with your words and self-expression. The last few years may have been tough with your self-expression, making you prefer to shy away or to do things on your own. Now that you are being pushed to collaborate with others, things may feel shaky or uneasy for you. But Venus is easing you into doing what you love and rediscovering your passion. The New Moon will inspire and spark something within you that will help you feel a lot more like yourself and will enable you to reconnect with who you are and your pursuits.

Aquarius 

Although the New Moon can feel a little chaotic, this energy will be something that you can flow with. As a fixed sign, you will experience this energy stronger than most with the opposition the New Moon will make to your sign. Lessons from the last two years will echo, but now you are more open to love and rediscovering what brings you happiness and joy. You will feel extremely inspired to create and express yourself without feeling limited. Now that you have learned and passed Saturn’s test, you can proceed to work on something you may have started a while back but did not feel secure or confident enough to continue. The next six months will present a new wave of opportunities that will allow you to reshape your social circles. Romance will also change but it will be more of a learning experience where you can create better foundations with your partners moving forward. The energy now is to love freely and confidently. You are now blossoming into a version of yourself you are falling in love with.
