This New Moon Will Be “Super Intense” because of The Leo Portal, on August 8, 2023.
Depending on how you look at them, new moons — which consist of new beginnings — can be wonderfully refreshing or quite daunting. And no matter how you think about them, this week’s astrological event could be a little more chaotic than expected. There will be a new moon in the sign Leo, and it will be “super intense”. Are you ready?
If you felt like the main character during Leo season, prepare for things to get even spicier when the moon also enters the fire sign.
Leo has many wonderful traits, including generosity and compassion. This is a good time to focus on your own wants and needs. This New Moon wants you to delve deeper into what your heart needs from you right now. Think: tapping into the joy of your inner child, having more compassion for yourself, living with more presence, feeling more open to life, or finding what illuminates your soul.
The date of the new moon, 8/8, is particularly auspicious due to something known as the Lion’s Gate portal that occurs every year on August 8th. For thousands of years, this has been observed and honored as a time of great energy. This is a time of heightened cosmic energy flowing between the physical and spiritual realms, and it is a good time to manifest, set intentions, and connect with your Higher Self.
This new moon has a serious side.
Now is the time to make a big change in our lives, even if we don’t necessarily feel super ready for them. It may sound a bit scary, but in true cosmic form, if we don’t take change, the universe will play its role. Therefore, it is best to be in control of how we can evolve our lives on our terms.
You might better focus on creating necessary endings rather than new beginnings.
This new moon highlights all the changes we are going through this year.
Its influence might be better at breaking old patterns and habits than planting seeds of intention. Now is the time to let go of what doesn’t serve you, whether it’s bad habits, bad friends, or even bad jobs. While it’s not necessary to search for answers just yet, recognizing what needs to be done to create meaningful change is a good first step..
This energy pushes us to see things in a new light, understand new perspectives in life, and grow. Uncertainty can open us up to our full potential, but the key is to stay present and learn to release our attachment to control.
The vibrations of this new moon are intense. But as long as you focus your energy on embracing the strong Leo energy, you can get through it on the other side.
