The New Moon in Leo on the 24th will bring a different energy than what we've experienced over the last several weeks. Leo Season is here to teach us self-love, and the New Moon will magnify this message. The potent fire energy might represent an awakening, as it allows us to make a promise to ourselves to put ourselves first.
The transit can also help us repair any broken relationships from the Mars retrograde in Leo earlier in the year. While Jupiter in Cancer brings us emotional healing, Luna in Leo brings healing of the ego. This is a time to embrace who we are, rekindle our talents, and show the world our ongoing transformation as Pluto becomes another major character during this time.
