A New Moon is a perfect time for fresh starts, as the energy of the atmosphere opens up to receive new seeds. A Solar Eclipse with a New Moon makes setting new goals, plans, and intentions even more important because its influence lasts for six months instead of four weeks. No matter what spiritual background you come from, participating in this monthly exercise can help you connect to your soul’s purpose and plan steps to get closer to it. Give yourself permission to connect authentically with yourself this month. Since we live in a Universe that is constantly moving, each month the New Moon is at a different place in our Cosmos allowing us a chance to plant different intentions throughout the year. A new cycle begins this time in Leo which is about breaking up blockages in our lives to allow for transformation.

WORD FOR THE MONTH Shifting FOCUS AREAS Vision, creativity, leadership, change, independence, confidence, honor, power, evolution, and revolution. HEADS UP Happy second New Moon in Leo! That’s right, earlier this month we already had a Leo New Moon. This second Leo New Moon happens to be a Total Solar Eclipse, which interestingly only passes through the United States and is the first Total Solar Eclipse to pass over only the U.S. since the country’s founding in 1776. As global politics shake up the world, Leo’s fiery energy has a message to give, one specifically for the U.S., the other for all of humanity. Beginning and ending energies are at play here, life and death, transformation and transmutation. The Universe knew we needed to have two Leo New Moons in a row, as an extra dose of its roaring energy is needed in order for the impact to be clear. These circumstances are not coincidental. Humanity needs a big reality check: we need to unite as one species and support each other for our future — it’s our responsibility. Leo’s double whammy informs us that a paradigm shift is needed, not these simpleton ideas that don’t address the complexity or multitude of the problems with society; how we eat, educate, do healthcare, handle disagreements, distribute justice, and more all need to change dramatically. Leo’s magnitude provides an astrological seismic movement toward major shifts. Get ready, things are about to get interesting from a collective human societal perspective. Lasting and profound changes are coming with Leo’s doubled up energy, backed by the Total Solar Eclipse. The strong energy in this Leo New Moon is helping us shed what pollutes us. Purity, according to Hindu concept of Saucha, extends to purifying the rational, emotional, spiritual, and social contamination. Humanity at a global level is in need for some major purification from hate, a plethora of injustices, vanity, greed, debt… This is what the human race has come to? Some of us won’t have it. We have a lot of work to do. The energy of this Total Eclipse New Moon is starting this purification process and attempting to bring Saucha on Earth. The same punch of double Leo energy can be applied personally as well. Wake up and pay attention. You need to find out right away how to use your personal power. When you use your power, what is it used for? This New Moon occurs at 29 degrees Leo, where the royal star Regulus resides, also the heart of the Leo constellation. Instead of rationalizing everything, we are being called to lead from the heart — to feel, to tap into our feelings, and promote charity and love. Draw Leo’s rays of light into your heart to illuminate your beauty. This Eclipse New Moon wants us to find our heart and begin a new story. Have a new vision that resonates with your personal inner light instead of your rational mind. This potent Eclipse New Moon in Leo wants us to align our future with our souls and will create a pathway to our subconscious allowing us to finally release things that no longer serve us. You may find this period easier to connect with your spirituality and inner personal knowledge, leading to flashes of insight if one is aware and pays attention. Be present. Reflect on your day once it ends. Solar Eclipses block the light of the Sun with the Moon. Ancient humans believed that during a Solar Eclipse, the light of the Sun temporarily gave way to darkness in order to be transformed and awakened. Leo is ruled and represented by the Sun, which symbolizes our ego because it is at the center of our solar system providing us the light needed for all things to be. When darkness falls during the New Moon Eclipse, we are called to shed that ego and expose our true selves, also known as our soul. If you have started soul searching, it will be now that you find it. This will expose our shadows — our regrets, despairs, heartaches, fears, and deepest wounds. Dissolve them in the light. Let them finally go. Eclipse energy can stick around for over six months, providing a gestation period until things transform as needed. So, have patience as you begin to see the changes in yourself and in society. It will take some time for the dust to settle and see the clarity and truth that will be obtained. Therefore, go with the flow and do not make sudden judgments or decisions until clarity arrives. The transformation has begun and something will end and something will be birthed. Move with the energy of change. A major societal awakening is occurring, and the more your personal life has become awakened to the vibration, the better for humanity’s fate. Impurities in humanity’s consciousness is clouding our ability for acceptance, love, and equality. The Universe is saying “enough is enough.” Those who begin purging these pollutants will collectively be the ones that save human life here on Earth. Even fate can be changed by a collective human willpower. As always, lead from the heart with compassion, instead of the mind with overzealous will. As always, a drop of wisdom - move towards life, instead of death With light and love, Kat Lahr HOW TO MAKE A NEW MOON LIST: Gather paper and a pen, pencil, marker or other type of writing utensil. Review the focus areas for this month and begin to think about how they apply to your personal and professional life. Write a list of what your hopes, dreams, goals, priorities, wishes, and prayers are for that moment. Typically no more than 10 is recommended. Be very specific, or extremely vague. Review last month’s list and revise them on this month’s list, if necessary. Place your notes somewhere safe and special to you.

WORD FOR THE MONTH Self FOCUS AREAS Strength, desire, sensitivity, self-discipline, confidence, joy, creativity, initiation, and empowerment. HEADS UP Happy first New Moon in Leo! That’s right, later on this month we have a second Leo New Moon (which happens to be a Total Solar Eclipse). The Universe must feel that we need double of Leo’s vigor. Leo is symbolically represented by the Sun, bringing us energy to be happy and live with joy. The Sun is the center of our solar system and provides us the light needed for all things to be. Persian poet Rumi once wrote “Every tree becomes beautiful when touched by sunlight”. Draw Leo’s rays of light into your heart to illuminate your beauty. There is a lot of change coming up and Leo is preparing us by providing the ability to focus within and to find wisdom for next steps. This first of two Leo New Moons starts at the very beginning (0 degrees) of Leo’s constellation in the sky, carrying with it a sense of primordial essence. Where do we come from? What are our beginnings? How do they affect us? This is a fantastic time to review what morals, values, and beliefs you carry from your youth, your beginnings. Do they still fit? Are there patterns that need to be broken? Leo sheds a lot of light on these parts of ourselves if we notice them and open our hearts. Leo’s energy can help you get through any memories of childhood trauma that still influence your life today. Stand tall and confident in front of these personal issues this month and break any of those chains with Leo’s provided strength. Pull the reigns, take the wheel, get in the driver’s seat, however you hear it, do it. It’s your fire that’s igniting this New Moon. Don’t let other forces direct your soul and interfere. Don’t let them put their venom on you. Take charge with fire, as the energy of the Leo New Moon will provide force to make this happen. It may be time to roar and say what’s needed. Tap into your personal power that’s been stashed away. Bring forth your light this month. Don’t worry what anyone thinks, but instead roar louder than them and feel what empowerment is like. Don’t follow the crowd, but instead be authentic. Feel the immense joy you will have when you do. Your creative self-expression will be at a high this month. Tap into this and apply it as needed. Where are your talents at? Do what gives you joy and makes you smile. Go after what you want with fiery energy. Step into YOUR power. Yes, you have power, and lots of it. Don’t give it away to others. Reclaim it. The lion symbolized by Leo has a sense of an ego impulse to have it all; rich, famous, smart, beautiful, sexy, respected, health and well-being, a beautiful house, a nice car, diamonds… What do you really desire? As you become more conscious of your soul’s purpose, your desires will align authentically as well. Start by digging deep into your heart to find what you meaningfully desire. This intense self-awareness will bring true self-consciousness allowing you to be aware of your purpose. It is time to set along this path of inquiry if you haven’t already. This New Moon cycle in Leo provides us an opportunity to love thyself. Take notice about what’s so great about you and find moments for self-love. Indulge and get back in touch with all the shimmery aspects of yourself. Where do you shine? What makes you amazing? Why do people turn to you? Don’t cover this light, but instead let it shine forth brightly and allow the Universe to attract back to you those on your vibration. As always, a drop of wisdom - integrate awareness of another person’s reality, instead of judging them.

Woman Carrying The Bull by Vladimir Fokanov, 2009 Every month’s New Moon is a good time to reset intentions and do an account of where you have been and where you wish to go. Mother Nature has given us this tool to help us find our purpose. No matter what spiritual background you come from, participating in this monthly exercise can help you connect to your soul’s purpose and plan steps to get closer to it. Give yourself permission to connect authentically with yourself this month. Since we live in a Universe that is constantly moving, each month the New Moon is at a different place in our Cosmos allowing us a chance to plant different intentions throughout the year. A new cycle begins this time in Taurus which is about seeing things from a grounded, practical, and realistic perspective.

WORD FOR THE MONTH Stability FOCUS AREAS Appreciation, kindness, security, money, pleasure, patience, contentment, self-worth, boundaries, personal awareness, caution, and large-mindedness. HEADS UP Happy New Moon in Taurus! This cycle provides us an opportunity to consider what we are blossoming into this spring season. Where do you wish to go? The nutrients available in a soil make a big difference in how seeds grow, just as our past presents the foundation from which we go next. Have patience, as with all gardens, growth will be slow, and you should prepared to nurture it over the long haul. Taurus energy brings us strength to build our world the way we want to no matter what is in our soil — not with luck, but instead hard work and will. Dig your feet into the dirt and like a bull make headway after your goals. Don’t forget to also have enthusiasm for everything you do as well. Taurean energy is confident and proud, after all, it was your hard work and effort that will get you there! Taurus is represented by the bull, which are both fierce and gentle. Taming our inner bull can be tough. What riles you up? What turns you from being passive to unraged? Take notice. What does predictability mean in your life? What are your unconscious impulses directing you consciously? This New Moon in Taurus wants you to take notice of your brutal instincts. The color red sets off the bull’s anger. What is your color red? Being aware is the first step in controlling rage and being able to tame. Through the fierceness of our personal will we can create abundance in our life. Believe that your needs will be met. You do have control. You are not helpless. You are courageous and capable. Repeat this mantra, or similar one, to help you ground to the energy of the Earth and remind yourself that you can be in control and that you are. Grab a hold of your life and make it sacred. Take breaks from being on autopilot and become more aware of what you attract. Taurus is an earth sign, allowing us a great passage-way to grounding and release especially after all the recent transformational energies of previous New Moons. We have an opportunity to settle in and ground the energies that have been unearthed. Turn on music and let it guide your feet, imagining a release of energy into the ground. After, listen to your body and feel what its telling you. Taurean energy wants us to take care of our bodies, this capsule our soul is in for the time being. What do you feel beautiful in? Truly define it for yourself. Be creative and bond with your inner-self. It cannot wait for you to see it rawly without the lenses and conceptions of the outer world. It’s time to put down your heavy load and heal your body. You do not need to carry that impossible weight of society’s issues, or someone else’s, on your shoulders. Humanity is currently diseased with selflessness. Taurus is about having so much self-love that your gratitude and appreciation for the world becomes tangible. The universe is saying to slow down, stop, listen, and think about your needs and everything else will fall into place. Rest, relaxation, and simple pleasures may be the best way of working with the healing energy that Taurus brings. This all helps us to ensure that we have created a solid foundation before leaping ahead. That’s what Taurus energy is all about and will allow you to go with the flow and not rush, but instead, find comfort and contentment with your current situation. Fully appreciate what you have already as the foundation for what’s to come next. As always, a drop of wisdom - preserve and protect our beautiful planet, instead of take it for granted.

Mask with Two Lobster Claws that Hold Snakes by Frans Huy, 1555 Every month’s New Moon is access to new beginnings, allowing us to dream about and appreciate what our priorities are.

WORD FOR THE MONTH Self-discovery FOCUS AREAS Honesty, new beginnings, assertiveness, innovation, exploration, initiating, and self-reliance. HEADS UP Happy New Moon in Aries! We have just entered the spring equinox, which is indicated by the Sun moving into Aries. Equinoxes are the two times of the year when the amount of light and dark are the same. Balance has arrived. Honor your journey up to this point. It is who you are today. This New Moon in Aries represents the ram, providing us the energy to approach life from head on, as a ram would do in battle. There are competing and combative energies all around us, and the month’s New Moon provides us the ability to pioneer through any flare-ups. Being straightforward like a ram however needs courage. One must have confidence and passion behind strong actions and words. Honor who you are. Just be yourself. What does that mean? If you have a hard time defining attributes to describe you, then begin to consider mindfulness. Begin by breathing, catching notice of that which sustains you. Immediately you are drawn in to the present. The breath is powerful. Then be honest with yourself on what you find about your authentic self as you begin self-discovery. We often don’t only need to be forgiving of others, but also of ourselves. We are all human in nature which is imperfect at its core. Tap into the strength that is given to us, with this New Moon in Aries, to help you peel back the layers of who you are, or who you think you are. It takes immense energy to shed away all that our society and environment has placed on us. The goal is to get closer to being pure and authentically you. Take off any mask you may be wearing and tap into your natural impulses without judgement. Make choices in your best interest. The energy is to focus on you. Be self-reliant in places where your dependence is unhealthy. Stop abandoning yourself for other things. Let joy manifest from being content. Not looking for the future and what’s next to come or how to get there, or what you need to do now to make it happen. Just be. And Just be you. Not what your told to be. What do you really want to “be” as perceived by others? Take time to become conscious and deconstruct why you believe the things you do. What type of inner programming of attitudes and beliefs reside with you? Know the source of your emotions and whether or not those attachments are worth it.

WORD FOR THE MONTH Transformation FOCUS AREAS Optimism, faith, drive, exploration, adventure, cooperation, freedom, truth, education, and intuition. HEADS UP We move out of the emotional waters of last month’s Scorpio New Moon into the fiery light of Sagittarius. Anything that ended in the Scorpio cycle can be invigorated by the fires of this Sagittarius New Moon. The Sagittarian energy is visionary. Are you ready to shoot your arrow somewhere? Are you on target, or have an aim that’s obtainable? If so, this is the time to shoot towards the goal wherever your focus is. This Sagittarius New Moon is also philosophical. What are the central truths of your soul? What matters to you? What are you passionate about? The half-horse half-human archetype brings to light the primal animal nature we all have. Pay attention to your instinctual responses. Open all your pores, raise your antenna, and trust that your internal responses are meaningful and worthy of attention. What you honor and protect is brought to the light for inspection. Is what comes up worthy of your time and energy? Does it include others? Be curious about your motivations. Why do you treat others the way you do? Where do they come from? Find your truth this month and how it involves others around you. Sagittarian energy is far from being self-centered and calls for higher collective understanding of our society and others in it. We are all connected whether we want to admit that or not. Protecting each other so that our ideals are protected too is the theme. Attempt to accept others who are different from you, or do not share the same ideas. Sagittarian energy holds itself to a high-standard, expecting others to be able to do the same — which is impossible. Take a moment this month to see where your standards may be too high, or too low. Expand your mind somehow this cycle. Adventures always allow us to learn something. Be open into the possibilities of experiencing the unfamiliar by stepping out of routine. You can never go wrong when you invest in yourself. Don’t limit your experiences and make your life small. Obtain greater depth of understanding by living and experiencing life. Enlarge your life’s vision is the spirit of Sagittarius. Use that internal fire that is readily available to expand your awareness and knowledge and light up others to do the same. As usual, pay particular close attention to your dreams. We are able to tap into the new elements being formed in the center of our planet and obtain guidance from the unconscious forces at work. The “everything happens for a reason” mantra makes sense this cycle, allowing us to look at any and all situations with optimism and purpose. There is a New Age beginning and your either connected with the new vibrations, or you’re not. Darwin’s survival of the fittest applies in today’s society as those swimming against the current can only do so for a short time. There is a movement of change coming through. Sagittarius energy is asking you to feel out the new current and see if you can tune in with its rhythms of forward movement. If not, seek to understand why — for your survival. As always, a drop of wisdom - think of inclusion, instead of exclusivity. Everyone is essential in this world.
