What Every Zodiac Can Expect From This Week’s New Moon In Leo

The rays of the sun will shine brighter this year now that Saturn has entered Pisces and seasons with Fixed signs will not have to endure the harsh aspects from Saturn. This New Moon in Leo will be quite an interesting transit because it gives us the confidence to step into the spotlight and shine after two years of dimming our light. However, Venus is currently retrograde which can make us feel insecure, especially if we reflect on romance and relationships. But this New Moon is all about exerting ourselves, embracing our creativity and not being afraid to be proud of who we are. On August 16th, the New Moon wants you to make your game plan and work on it for the next six months. See how this transit will impact your Sun, Moon, and Rising signs.

Aries 

This is a transit that is all about gaining your control back. If you have felt you were losing your confidence and power, this energy will help to revitalize you and remind you that you are the boss.

As Venus continues in retrograde motion, you will feel your creativity expound and you may gain the discipline needed to make your projects feel new and more improved during this transit. Get ready to make magic.
