There’ll be a New Moon in Leo this Sunday, the 8th of August. At 16° Leo, this New Moon will be in the same sign as Mercury, supporting meaningful communications, as well as artistic and creative endeavours of all kinds. Communications are very often warm and friendly when Mercury is in Leo, too.

The main aspects during this New Moon will be the square from Uranus to the New Moon and Venus opposing Neptune. Surprises are very likely and we can expect some gentle compassion and romance, with an objective, detached quality. There is much culture to be enjoyed with an air of grace.

The Sabian symbol for this New Moon is, ‘sunshine after a storm’. While there have been some tough times just lately, I know we are all hoping for something to lift our spirits this summer. Really, what I am hoping is that the Sabian Symbol for this New Moon plays out exactly as it reads, with metaphorical sunshine to follow our latest whirlwind of events.

Read on to see how the New Moon may help you this weekend.

Aries Ascendant

The New Moon will be in your fifth house of relationships and progress in romance through meaningful communications is highlighted throughout the week. You may also receive some unexpected news about your assets or finances that require your active response.

Taurus Ascendant

Trying something new around the home is a theme for you this week, but are you ready to integrate what this will mean for you and your image going forward? You may also find that old concepts at work or even old colleagues reappear in your life, because something needs addressing.

Gemini Ascendant

Do you need to start a new belief system, philosophy or healthy mind regime to remain in touch with a real sense of meaning this week? Your Gemini Ascendant likely loves researching new possibilities, so this is a great time for you to think about how you can change your approach to life for the greater good.

Cancer Ascendant

If you have any community projects on the go, you may find that you receive some income for this as the project receives a boost of popularity. Are you ready for the level of management that is required and can you figure out new ways to manage other people’s money in time?

Leo Ascendant

This week, you may enjoy trying on a new look you have been meaning to try for a while that is simply meant for you! You have a chance to re-spark old friendships and relationships and you may receive some challenges for work. The question is, are you ready to accept them?

Virgo Ascendant

This week may be a time of reflection and introspection for you, as you shuffle through your deepest feelings and what they mean for you existentially. However, you may find you need to travel somewhere which means you have to create an internal balance while re-organising your daily schedule.

Libra Ascendant

Friends are communicative this week and all on the social front seem well and happy. Having said this, new information may come to light that only you can see and you may have to find some personal ways of dealing with this. Will your relationship be affected or can adjust by redefining your beliefs?

Scorpio Ascendant

Both your social life and your closest relationships receive a boost. This is exciting, so hopefully you are ready for this. Home and work-life balance also may become much more manageable for you, which is something you have needed for a good while. Have a blessed week.

Sagittarius Ascendant

You may find you have new opportunities to travel or discuss your beliefs this week, especially for the sake of work. The question is, are you ready to adjust to the new plan that will be required of you? You may have to think practically. Old issues may need to come up in conversation as all is discussed.

Capricorn Ascendant
You may find you have to re-think your own financial situation as new occurrences come about regarding the money you hold or share with others. Meanwhile, surprising thoughts and ideas about romance seem to be distracting you. Will the universe provide you with the help you need this week?

Aquarius Ascendant

It is likely that your relationships are going to be doing well this week as you plan to do new things with your loved ones. However, unexpected occurrences at home may mean that you have to solve a certain conflict within yourself in order to retain that all-important sense of balance and freedom.

Pisces Ascendant

With your Pisces Ascendant you may have a knack for going with the flow, but you may also find lately that planning your days are working out for you too. New ways of researching may be required of you or new levels of ideas at work that are progressive and you may need to find the time to fit these in. Are you up to the job?
