Libra Season
In the northern hemisphere, Libra marks the autumnal equinox and the Sun’s descent into darker months. The days are now shorter than the nights and there is a refreshing chill in the air… if you live far enough away from the equator. The time has come to welcome back your fall wardrobe, invest in a new sweater or two (or three), and become an even more lovely and sophisticated version of yourself.

If you can’t find the beauty in something, make the beauty.

This Leo new moon is a very special one, as it lands on the peak date of the Lion’s Gate portal. Lion’s Gate is a metaphysical and astronomical phenomenon which occurs when the Earth is aligned with Sirius, the brightest star we can see, between July 28 and August 12 every year. This period of time is said to herald accelerated spiritual growth. A level up, if you will. In numerology, the number 8 represents infinity and all that is. On the 8th day of the 8th month, this subtle energetic doorway opens itself wide, inviting those who are ready to walk through. This is not even close to the only dynamic we are working with right now, but it sets the mood and the theme for this moon cycle quite nicely.
Venus in Virgo: July 21-August 16, 2021
Venus, the goddess of love, beauty, sensuality, and harmony moves into the detail oriented and analytical sign of Virgo, where she will stay for the next three weeks.
