Get out of the way---LEO NEW MOON is HERE!
By Tracy Cook
Many years ago I studied lunar phases with Robert Buz Myers. It is my hope that he would be proud of my work today. Blessings to you, Buz!
What is a New Moon?
A new moon is when the moon is between the sun and the earth and the illuminated part of the moon is very small. Technically, when you look up in the sky you only see a small, skinny section of moon.
And the not so technical point of view?
Well, similar to farmers and indigenous people, who have used the different phases of the moon for eons, Astrologers also utilize the different phases of the moon. Certainly on the New we know it is time to plant seeds. But the other seven phases are equally important.
Where should my focus be during this next 28-day cycle?
When we draft a chart for the new moon we can get a sense of the energy that will be up for processing for the next 28 days.
Okay what is this cycle?
Last month, during the two Cancer new moons-- Did you clear out all your emotions? At least the stuck ones? I hope so because you’ll get an idea why you needed to let go of stuff as the Leo lunar phase unfolds. Big time.
August 20, 2009
Leo New Moon
27 degrees 31
Sabian symbol:
http://www.amazon.com/Sabian-Symbols-Astrology-Symbol-Explained/dp/094335840X
Many little birds on the limb of a tree.
“The key word is ramifications. When positive, the degree is man’s effective mobilization of all unrealized possibilities of his destiny, and when negative, an enjoyment of confusion or the momentary self importance it brings.”
HEART OF GOLD
When it comes to New Moons it is sometimes best to cut to the chase----- I don’t recall writing about or seeing a Leo New Moon as powerful as this one in at least ten years! Possibly twenty. It is big.
Leo is strong, courageous, proactive, heroic. It puts its money where its mouth is---and in times like this that says a lot. Whether it is loud or shy, Leo attracts attention, primary because of its own magnetism. There is no escaping the Leo gravity. Of course Leo rules actors and theaters but it is not necessarily because they are center stage but also because performers put it all on the line, they put their talent, craft and emotions for all to see (and judge)—that takes a certain amount of bravery. As you can imagine, “Brave” is a Leo word.
The planet ruling Leo is the Sun and last time I looked the Sun was pretty important to us Earthlings. Leo has a strong center even when it stretches itself and Leo is inexhaustible almost under any circumstance but perhaps it is most energized by its will to accomplish something that will last long after he or she is gone. A lot of good in the world has come from Leo energy even when it is driven by a desire to provide a notable legacy.
Having said that-- when Leo is bad it is bad. Bragging, lying, out-of-check Ego, exaggerating, personalizing everything, making a mountain out of any mole hill---this is what Leo looks like when it is bad. For them there is no such thing as a slight injustice, everything is HUGE---“Kill the infidels!” If you know any Leos you are probably nodding your head. One minute they can be generous and great and the perfect person to take charge and get something done and then the next moment they are the biggest energy suck in your life demanding all your attention as they go over some perceived injustice, over and over and over and over and over…..again.
Be prepared to see this energy in the news. Some crazy out of check ego stomping all over the place while at the same time there will be a David heroically taking down a Goliath. All very Leo. I think it is somewhat funny that these Town Halls meetings (USA) about health care have been taking place while the Sun has been in Leo—a lot of lies and Leo theatrics. Although, I do believe once the New Moon starts we’ll see a different tone to the meetings, perhaps they will fizzle out or they will turn up a notch into a real firestorm. Especially since Neptune is opposite Sun/Moon in Leo. Neptune is Crazy and disillusioned and having it in the mix on new moon will bring more cuckooness.
On a personal level you may find yourself passionate about something that previously only inspired tepid emotions. Or you could be fired up to finally take care of something because it makes your character look bad. “Our porch says something about us---it is time to fix it!” Also if you feel disillusioned about something, hang in there, it could be for a bigger reason that something had to melt away. You may not know why, but if you don’t ask "why" the answer will eventually come.
The metal associated with Leo is gold and in the body, Leo is The Heart. Perhaps you will find yourself looking for your own Heart of Gold (cue Neil Young). Or you will see it in others. Small and cheap behaviors or attitudes will leave people cold this cycle. Be stingy at your own peril!
Cross me? Cross you!
Uranus has been doing a number all year with Saturn---twisting us up one way and down the other (“I want out” versus “I want security” ---but on this lunar phase Uranus is also making an opposition to Mercury who is holding hands with Saturn and together they are all squaring Mars. Ouch.
Mars in Gemini brings out ‘fightin’ words’ and the rhetoric will be high (Look at those Town Hall meetings!) But when you add Uranus, Mercury and Saturn---well, expect fighting words to go too far. Especially since Pluto is in a wide opposition to Mars. I believe we should expect a skirmish. Or at the very least, it will be difficult to find a cool head. In a T square there is always one part that is missing and in this case the empty part is Sagittarius. We will be looking for someone to step up and be teacher or a philosopher or a wise judge. I am unclear if that person will show up I just know we will seek it.
It may be that we experience the world where people shoot off their mouth (mercury) at those people who are demanding independence and their own uniqueness (Uranus) while we feel a great loss (Saturn) and all are fighting (square) with Mars -----which is most unfortunate since Mars is the ultimate warrior. And it doesn’t help that Mars is doing his own battle with Pluto. There will be extra sparks around August 26th (When the Mars/Pluto opposition is exact) but the tension is there all cycle. Watch your own inner skirmishes. If you are ready to do battle then go for it. But if you are not ready for World War 3 than try to find your inner wise, mediator. Those people who have planets at late degree Sag will be sucked into something tough. My advice? Wear Kevlar.
Yadda, Yadda, YOD!
Now back to my opening statement. What makes this moon so extraordinary? Bear with me because I have to stretch your brains for a moment and get a bit astro talky.
There is something in astrology called a YOD. I know it is a silly word and even though it looks like a name of a character in Star Wars, it is pronounced YAWD. A Yod is a triangle that is super skinny with a defined point. Here is one:
Do you see how in this example the MOON is the pointy end of the triangle? That is important. Remember it.
The way a yod is made is when two planets sextile one another (in this case Venus and Mars) and then both those planets make a quincunx to another planet, in this case the moon. YODs are a rare occurrence in a chart and in fact they are special enough to be called “The finger of God” as there is an element of fate with them.
All very interesting but what does that have to do with this Leo New Moon? Well, there are four YODS on this new moon. If one Yod is unusual in a chart what do four mean? It ain’t small, that is for sure.
Back to the pointy part of the Yod. On the other side of the pointy part is the base of the triangle and the base is the ENGINE of the aspect. Those two planets get along with each other and they push and drive the pointy end of the Yod. The pointy part is where we dig and dig. If you need a visual think of an old fashion steam shovel
The base of the triangle is the engine and the pointy part is the shovel/bucket of the YOD. The engine moves the bucket around and gives it the power to dig into the ground. The unfortunate part is that the digging may be very difficult. Sometimes hitting rocks sometimes hitting gold (there is that word again). It is not easy work and not easy to predict what you will hit but the planet which is pointy will give us an idea where we have to work.
Now what makes this Leo New Moon even more interesting is that three of the pointy ends are conjunctions. Meaning there are two planets on top of each other at the pointy end of three yods.
So, our shovels are:
Sun & Moon in Leo.
Jupiter & Chiron in Aquarius
Neptune & Chiron in Aquarius
North Node in Capricorn.
Our engines are:
North Node & Uranus (Cap & Pisces)
Venus & Saturn (Cancer & Virgo)
Venus & Mercury (Cancer & Virgo)
Mars & Sun/Moon (Gemini & Leo)
Okay, so you are asking what does all that mean?
If I was a betting person (perfect Leo word by the way) I would say that the energy of this lunar cycle is going to push us in directions that force us to dig and find what is important to us, what makes us swell with pride? What makes us a hero? What makes us show up and do the work we need to do to accomplish much? (Sun & Moon in Leo) When I say ‘push us in directions’ I mean that if the status quo is ‘just getting by’ whether it is emotionally, physically, financially or any way---that will not work this lunar phase. For twenty eight days we will feel pushed to ask “what do we want?” Not in some theoretical, airy fairy way but in a concrete real way. Perhaps a hard question will come up in your life which pushes you to really look at your spouse or your job or your home or some area of your life and you’ll know you cannot put it on your list to deal with ‘some other day.’ The push will say “That day is now”.
At the same time we will also be pushed to find our abundance and our healing (Jupiter & Chiron in Aquarius). Jupiter and Chiron have been crossing back and forth over each other most of this year and since May and July we have been really compelled to ask “Who is my tribe?” “Where are my likeminded people”? “What healing will take place when I am with my right people or my right group?” These two planets will do one more swing at each other in December but during this twenty eight day phase while Jupiter/Chiron are the pointy part of the Yod expect a big time push to find our tribe. Again, not airy fairy but a real push. In the last year a lot of people have lost their jobs or their homes and although at first blush it seems that the energy is about MONEY or lack of MONEY. But in truth Jupiter and Chiron are really saying, “It ain’t about the money, People. It is about the tribes!” Simply said people have not been with their right group. There are people who are married who need to move to the ‘single tribe’ there are people who are single who really need to move to the ‘partnered’ tribe. There are people who know it is time for them to move to the ‘parent tribe’ and there are people who need to move out of the ‘shy tribe’ and into the ‘extrovert tribe.” And on a really basic level, there are people who are not working with the right tribe and there are people who are simply not living in the right town (tribe). I could go on and on and list other examples but you KNOW in your soul what tribal move you need to make. And if you are unclear well, this lunar phase will most definitely point it out.
Additionally, we will need to find our Faith and have a healing (Neptune & Chiron in Aquarius). Just like Chiron and Jupiter are a shovel so are Chiron and Neptune. As I mentioned Jupiter and Chiron are in conjunction with each other all year but so is Neptune. The three of them have been in a tango going back and forth over each other. It is interesting how Chiron is kicking us around a bit as we find healing in our groups.
Believe me I am not one to throw around the expression “Aquarius Age” but a case can be made that these three in conjunction is a perfect example of Aquarius Age --with or without the tied died shirts. In the next twenty eight days there may be, once again, a crisis of faith but I ask you, is there really a crisis of faith or are we being asked to redefine our faith? Expect something to push you to ask “What do I believe?” And “How can I find hope in this world that is not of the world?” Read that twice.
And our final shovel in our four yods is North Node in Capricorn. I mentioned before (HERE) that North Node in Capricorn does not have time for sentimentality. It is no nonsense and is very practical. It finds a way to survive anything and it can build upon anywhere as long as it has a practical vision. For the last two years the north node has been in Aquarius but this month it moved into Capricorn. I mentioned on the last lunar cycle that we needed to get rid of our child like feelings and find our inner adult. Well, this month we could see the value of last month’s work. Perhaps there will be an offer that comes your way that demands hard work and dedication. It won’t be easy but you can do it. It might be an over stretch to say ‘your survival depends on it.’ But on some level that is what you feel. And one caveat, it should NOT come from fear. It is just a practical move that makes the most sense.
Now what about the engines?
We will be inspired by energy that feels destined (north node) and spontaneous (Uranus). We will be moved by love, money and values (Venus). Structure and discipline(Saturn) move us. We will learn and repot (Mercury) and desire action (Mars) in synch with our emotions and soul (Moon & Sun).
Do you get this is big? Great, you are paying attention. And for those who are not paying attention well there will probably be a big shakeup somewhere in the world that will get your attention. Do you remember how you hugged your children and called friends after 9/11? Do you remember how you felt when you watched New Orleans get bashed by broken levees? Or how about the footage from the Indian Ocean Tsunami, didn’t you say? “Wow. What is going on?” The Universe has a way to get our attention and this Leo New Moon Chart is filled with opportunities to get our attention.

OTHER STUFF
So we have the Yods this lunar cycle doing whatever the ‘eff they want to do but at the same time we have got a great trine from Pluto (out of sign) to the Sun and Moon. Which all I can say is ‘thank gawd’. Pluto trine Sun/Moon will give us the willingness to be flexible which is funny because neither the sign Leo or the planet Pluto is flexible in nature. But in this YOD environment there will be a willingness to do stuff that might even be out of character. Later when you look back upon this period you will see you exercised great flexibility. We will find the resources to dig in and get our power. Even if we feel daunted at first we will shake off the fear and do the work. No mountain is too big for a Pluto Trine Sun Moon.
Saturn Oppose Uranus Part 3
On November 4th we had the first opposition between Saturn in Virgo to Uranus in Pisces. Perhaps you remember that day? That was when the White House changed direction in a very big way. Then on Feb 5th we had the 2nd opposition and politicos were talking about bank bail outs, oversight committees and trying to distinguish between a crisis and a catastrophe (Did we ever figure that one out?) Now on September 15th we will have our third installment of Saturn oppose Uranus. Again, as stated earlier, these two planets are part of the work we are doing to break free (Uranus) but at the same time find structure (Saturn). Of course, where you have Pisces and Virgo in your chart will define how this is impacts you personally. But even if you do not know your chart you are still feeling it. The tension is there and it will be great this lunar cycle as it builds to September 15th. The two will oppose each other two more times in 2010 so if we haven’t figured out what we are doing now we have more time to get it right. Of course, it is not a subtle aspect. Frustrating delays, complicated choices in order to get free. It ain’t easy. Take some big breaths. And as always, if you are really stuck-- go to the Virgo energy and look at your daily schedule and maintenance. How is your calendar? How is your weight? How is your daily work? If you can’t fix the bigger picture fix the smaller picture. Get your diet and exercise routine together.
And if you have not got your Pisces spiritual practices together, start it now. Daily prayer, meditation, affirmations will do you a world of good. Supporting the need for a tight spiritual ship is also the fact that Neptune is opposed Sun/Moon on this new moon. Neptune always appears to dissolve things when it touches them. This is very frustrating and troubling---at first. But what we do with this and how we find our inner resolve says more about us than the actual loss.
“What the ‘eff----et tu, Mercury?”
And if all of what is happening is not enough—we have a Mercury retrograde. I know, I know. I hate even writing those words but God in his infinite wisdom has really decided to mess with us by messing up our communication. Sigh.
You know the drill but we’ll go over it again.
On September 7 at 12:45am (EDT) Mercury will retrograde in the sign Libra until September 29 (9:13am EDT). I mentioned back in February and May that I think the Mercury Retrogrades in Air signs are not nearly as painful as the retrogrades in the other elements. I have been politely told by some of my friends that I am WRONG! For some people these air sign Mercury retros have been dreadful (I think for those with Natal Mercury in an air sign). Of course, when all our technical things break down (as they often do in a Mercury retrograde) it is hard not to think that you are personally being punished by Spirit. Let me remind you, we are all in this together--- you are not being personally whipped. It is a group whipping…we are all getting it.
When double checking the Sabian symbol for the retrograde at 06 Libra 13 ---it reads “A woman feeding chickens and protecting them from the hawks.” The key word is shrewdness. Obviously, in Libra this retrograde will have more to do with our relationships not just our partners but all relationships. How are we in relationship? Are we just and fair? Are we reactionary? Are we thoughtful? Are we too thoughtful and not enough actions? We will explore this a lot during the three weeks of the retrograde.
As always you should copy your hard drive before the retrograde, do all your big business stuff before it. Try to avoid signing contracts during the period. But when all the craziness hits, don’t have a huge break down, consider that it came up to help you. I can’t say how only you know that. After the retrograde it will be more clear of course by that time you’ll be drunk on Bloody Marys.
Pluto turns direct
On September 11 Pluto will turn direct in Capricorn at 0 degrees 40. As always Pluto spends about half the year in a retrograde motion. It has been going backwards since April 4th. We will feel the energy change and it will be interesting to see how this bears on government and businesses. Remember, Capricorn is all about Government agencies and banks and corporation. Pluto retro has been so apparent as it seems like everyone tries to get up and roll again but it just feels stalled. There is this overall feeling that things don’t feel right. It is possible when Pluto turns direct there will be another minor assault on Wall Street as Pluto sheds more dead weight. Perhaps more bankruptcies, companies close which no longer serve. There may be a little better flow for those companies that seem real and truly vital. But we won’t know until Pluto turns around. Of course as Pluto turns direct it is heading for the Cardinal Climax next year. Yikes. So watch and see what comes up in your personal life after Pluto turns direct. It might be giving you a heads up as to what to expect next summer. Achtung!
In Conclusion:
I know that a lot of you are probably exhausted from just reading this report. Imagine how I feel writing it! But if you can muster up your energy and clear your head you’ll be ready for the rockin’ and rollin’ we are about to do. I have no idea what it is going to look like but I know we are being called to find our inner hero. Is it okay to live your life small and make excuses for it? Most of the year you can lie and tell yourself it is okay that you are not living to your potential. But it will be impossible to tell those lies to yourself this lunar cycle. And I’m not sitting over here smugly removed from this process. I have got to do it too. Together let’s ..B-R-E-A-T-H-E!
The Eight Phases
NEW MOON
August 20 6:01am (EDT)
27 Leo 31
New moon: Plant seeds, make calls, activate, start projects. Activate something that will ideally lead you to more. This is the phase where INTENT is critical. Even if the results are not immediate, the intent is there. You may not have all the answers or road map but you should put your Intent out there. Remember no matter how small it is still the INTENT that is important.
Focus on Pride, self esteem, shining like a star, being a leader, putting yourself out there, breaking from the crowd. Where are you a hero? Does your outer world match your inner world? Why not? Where is your self esteem? How big is your heart with others and with yourself? Do you keep yourself small? Why? Does it still work for you? Tell the truth.
Special focus
8/21 (Mercury/Uranus) Genius or chaotic electric thoughts.
8/22 Sun enters Virgo. With a Virgo—just remembering their birthday is a gift enough. Thoughtfulness goes far with them.
CRESCENT PHASE
August 23, 2009 2:03 pm (EDT)
Crescent: We will receive information, we will research a bit more, perhaps get feedback on stuff that we planted on new. Perhaps get some information that will help down the road on a seed we planted a while ago. We can collect some data now. Even if you think you are not getting information, stop, and re-look at everything. Who called you? Even the silliest things, when they come up during Crescent are note worthy. A parking ticket? An argument with a spouse? A refund check from the phone company? All of it needs to be considered a message from the universe. How can this information help you?
Focus on: Information comes in regarding your relationships. Partners share info with you, are you hearing them? How is the world responding to the seeds you planted? Is it time to get a partner to share the work? Who can be your partner? How do you find balance? What is the world telling you about your ability to be measured?
Special focus:
8/23: (Sun/Pluto) Easy access to power and transformation
8/25: Mars enters Cancer http://www.astrologyweekly.com/learn-astrology/mars-in-cancer.php
8/25: Mercury enters Libra
http://www.astrologyweekly.com/learn-astrology/mercury-in-libra.php
8/25 (Mercury/Mars) Harsh, warring words and thoughts
8/26: Venus enters Leo
http://www.astrologyweekly.com/learn-astrology/venus-in-leo.php
8/26: (Mars/Pluto)Explosives. Mega Temper tantrum.
First Quarter Moon
August 27 7:42am (EDT)
First quarter: We do more actions based on the information that we just received. Or we feel our instincts guide us on something. We pursue again. We make another call or we see someone. We mail something. We stir the pot again. This can be a time when we realize that the goals we planted on New need more action from us, perhaps actions that involve breaking away. Are there people who say they have our best interest in heart but fear us growing away from them? Maybe we need to get help from others not the usual suspects. Some independence may need to be exerted.
Focus on: Actions we take should bridge us to another group. We reach out to foreigners (as defined by you), other classes. Teachers or wise sages can help. How would the seeds we planted on new benefit by some smart wise counseling? Rabbis, priests someone spiritual can be helpful.
Special Attention:
8/28: (Mercury/Venus) Fun & lively. Beep, beep let’s play.
8/30: (Moon/sun) Great energy and good day to shine.
Gibbous Moon
August 31, 10:05am
Gibbous: We refine our information. We pick and choose, we discriminate, we organize, we tend to be ‘virgo’ like. We sort through details. Have we missed something? How are we sifting through the information? Go back and make sure something hasn’t been neglected. Refine our actions.
Focus on: What adjustments can we make that put us on a higher level? Are we thinking big enough? Is there a practical move we can make that puts us on the next place? Can we chill out our emotions and refine our seeds?
Special focus:
9/3: (mercury/mars) shoot off your mouth and pay for it.
Full Moon
September 4 12:02pm
12 Pisces 15
Full Moon: We make the needed adjustments on the things we planted. Usually emotions are up and running and for those people who perhaps did not utilize the new moon and the rest of the waxing moon, this is when emotions can get the better of us. There can often be a big emotional break, for no other reason than to get back on track. Some partnership will offer up some balance. The moon is bright and full and there is no room for shadows, what is reflecting on you?
Focus on: Have we forgotten the spiritual part of our life? Is there place for it? If we are missing it, it will become glaring apparent. Watch our thoughts and see how often we think God is punishing us. What if you can no longer be a victim in thought or action, how will that change your life? How would it change your seeds you planted on new moon? Do you get drama from telling the awful stories that surround you? Is it tiring you out? Thought so.
Special focus:
9/7 12:45am Mercury turns retrograde (see above)
9/11 (Venus/Jupiter) over indulgence hurts but desired
Disseminating
September 8 8:03am (EDT)
Disseminating: Share information, find a teacher or someone who has more knowledge. Perhaps there was a big ol’ blow out on the full and one feels in need of support and help, this is the phase to reach out to one who knows more. This is when we find a rabbi or a minister or therapist who gives us more insight. And of course, you too may be ready to teach and share your own information.
Focus on: We share practical insights. We find support that offers us concrete help. We reach out beyond our circle or parish to get real results. We continue to put our nose to the grindstone but we share our skills.
Third Quarter Phase
September 11 10:14pm
Third Quarter moon: Now we do the final adjustments to the seeds we planted on new. The final call, the final letters to send, we follow all the trails that came up that still make sense. And we let the other parts lay fallow. It is a time of action but wise action. It is a time for living “The serenity prayer”
God, grant me the Serenity
to accept the things
I cannot change Courage to change the
things I can, and the
Wisdom to know the difference.
Focus on: We lighten up as we do the final moves on the seeds we planted. How can we communicate about the seeds we planted? How can neighbors or siblings help us? How are we fitting into the world around us and how does it match our seeds that we planted? What actions can we take now that reconcile our seeds with our communication? If you planted a seed on new moon that you want to feel healthy then why are we still saying, “I’m so sick of….” Watch your words.
Special focus:
9/11 Pluto turns direct (See above)
Balsamic Phase
September 15 7:27am
12:40am
Balsamic: We release. We let go. We prune, we discard, we ditch stuff. We house clean. The things that no longer work, we let them out of our life. We release so we can clear our unconscious and dream. We prepare our unconscious to be ready for the next
Focus on Release ego, release self interests, release interests in being big shot. Find inner quiet deep inside your heart.
Special attention:
9/15 Saturn Oppose Uranus (see above)
9/15 (Venus/Neptune) love of life versus love of fantasy
9/17 (Sun/Uranus) Rebellion versus Self Contained
9/17 (mercury/Pluto) Shoot off your mouth pay now and later
9/17 (Sun/Saturn) defined boundaries create limits that serve
Virgo New Moon September 18 2:44pm
