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. Picking up the pieces now comes easier as this New Moon may feel like it helps you glue back things emotionally. 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.

Taurus 

One of those moments where you could feel extremely frustrated or overwhelmed because things are not moving the way you want them to. But this New Moon is all about guiding you to take things easy and believe in your plans. After several years of enduring Saturn in Aquarius, you now have more resilience and determination to win. It is also a time of resting and experiencing your rebirth, with Jupiter giving you the optimism and courage to go full speed ahead with your plans.

Gemini 

An insightful time as you can get your plans in order and begin to work on them with much more enthusiasm. It is a time to research, do the work, and collect as much information as possible. The muses head your way to open your mind, allowing you to tap into a new world where you feel more comfortable exploring your artistic side. If you experienced creative blocks, now you’re given that inspiration you have desired for years. Everything seems to connect at this time.

Cancer 

Take it easy during this transit. With the New Moon bringing more awareness to your needs, you may be compelled to make some time to treat yourself and do the things you love. It is a transit where your leadership abilities are put to the test. It is a transit where you will learn to value the connections you make at work or school. There is also a need to exercise diplomacy at work and make sure you communicate things effectively and not be impossible with your words since Mercury is in its shadow period.

Leo 

Having the Sun and Venus in your sign will be similar to writing a love letter to yourself. It is a time of love, care, and growth. You can feel yourself elevating, since this New Moon will allow you to shine the way you were meant to. No longer do you feel limited or pressured by Saturn in Aquarius’ opposition; instead, you feel ready to take on anything and make your dreams a reality. With this transit, you will be more social and connected with the people you love. 

Virgo 

This is quite the potent energy, with this New Moon in Leo opening up wounds but allowing you to find your sense of strength and courage that will help you move on. Be more gentle to yourself during this transit and make sure your words do not cut others with Mars still in your sign. The New Moon prompts and reminds you to take things easy and to trust your intuition. You are at a point now where you may be on the path to success, but make sure not to be your own biggest critic.

Libra 

The New Moon in Leo will have you reminiscing about relationships from the past, and you will be pushed to heal, thanks to Venus retrograde. The way you view relationships now will transform but also give you more structure in relationships. It is a time when you will be more conscious of your independence and may find it much more cathartic to assert yourself during this transit. The New Moon shifts your perspective for the next six months to help you release and feel a stronger sense of empowerment.

Scorpio 

You may expect to see your popularity soaring during this transit, or a lot of people will just be more comfortable around you with Venus, Sun, and Moon at the highest point in your chart. It is a transit that is going to have you a lot more focused on perfection and doing the work, but you know that you can grow and learn more so that you can excel at anything you do. You may feel more aligned in your career and determined to win. For the next six months, you are confident and prepared to win the game.

Sagittarius 

Moving on and bringing the focus back to yourself will be synonymous with this transit. Learn to celebrate your success and victories and stop looking back to the past. Saturn may be creating some chaos, but this transit is a reminder to be optimistic and applaud the things you have done. It is also a time of creating and crafting. You are feeling a lot more in your element with this fire energy making a trine to your sign. You may discover a new passion and journey to go on.

Capricorn 

Having these transits happening will make you feel nostalgic but will push you to break the hold that a past relationship may have on you. The New Moon will present a period where you uncover and allow yourself to bring healing energy into your life through forgiveness. The New Moon also helps you create a blueprint for your dreams and the vision you may have for the next six months. You are magnetic and determined to excel as this transit inspires you to look ahead courageously.

Aquarius 

A radiant transit filled with promises and new beginnings as this New Moon lights up your relationship house, bringing you harmony and better communication with the people you love as well as romantic partners. While Venus is still retrograde, you may be able to reflect on your relationship needs. It is also a transit that will bring you closer to achievements and successes. You are prompted to look for new ways to build your new relationships or current ones. Saturn in Aquarius allowed you to learn from past mistakes and now you can transform your relationships with more honesty.

Pisces 

With the Sun, Moon, and Venus in Leo, you could feel more connected with your healing process. Saturn has you shaping up and bringing more structure to your world, but this New Moon is a transit that will allow you to also treat and care for yourself. While you do the hard work, you also need to remember to take things with ease and work smarter so you aren’t burnt out. The process will serve to transform you and help you to bring balance and more self-care.
