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.

Mid-Moon News: Leo Season, Part I
Current cosmic and earthly events focus on communication, boundaries, and our impulse to create. The week opened with intense emotions and maybe even an outburst or two, but will close with rededicating ourselves to do our very best.
Aquarius Full Moon
This Leo season starts with a full moon right out of the gate. At 10:37pm (eastern) on July 23, the Moon will oppose the Sun right after they both change signs. A special moment, for sure. What makes it even more special is that the lights are flanked by the malefics. The Sun is co-present with Mars in Leo while the Moon will be co-present with Saturn in Aquarius. This tells us that opportunities will be presented (which may feel like we are being challenged) to learn and grow from the more complex situations and circumstances we find ourselves in.
