Like in a midsummer night’s dream, this new moon will stir up our resting passions, enable us to look within, and redefine the meaning of love. This new moon will pull us back into the heat of our relationships or creative passions. Whether it's a soulmate connection manifested or a star-crossed love story unfolded, the new moon in Leo will grant the space to claim our desires, clear the air, and establish a new course.
When will the new moon be in Leo?
The new moon in Leo arrives on August 16th at 5:38 am EST. This one will be felt as our storylines are ready to shift, guided by the celestial powers of the love planet, Venus, and the game-changing planet, Uranus.

The sign Leo governs the 5th house of true love, children, and creativity – representing the lingering will to carry on with our passionate pursuits. The new moon allows us to percolate our ideas and conjure our future vision. It is not necessarily a time to begin a manifestation ritual, as the moon is in a void expression. It will become more stable as we wait for the moon to increase in luminescence. Ideally, a day later than the new moon would be best for manifesting, as we have a better idea about our true wants then.
As Venus continues its retrograde dance, aligning with the new moon, these two cosmic bodies project heightened themes involving love and the ability to love. The planet Uranus forms a square to this new moon, intensifying the need for us to change our ways of living in truth. The rebellious planet reinforces the need to change and embrace spontaneity – and romantic breakups or passion pursuits can end as a result. This will make room for something even more magical than we can imagine! Leo’s lesson for us all is to capitalize on our joy and to live by example.
Observe your life and relationships from before Venus retrograde happened on July 22nd. This new cycle will enable you to pave the path with focused intentions. As long as you learn from your past experiences and hold steady with your boundaries, history will not repeat itself.
The new moon in Leo will extend powerful opportunities for the fixed signs, such as Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius. See if any of your natal chart placements are 23 degrees of any of the fixed signs. The closer to the degree, the more impact there will be.
