This Leo New Moon has two aspect figures and two unaspected planets. Retrograde Mercury and its companion in learning, Jupiter, are both unaspected. There is unrestrained ability to think both within & outside of the box with this New Moon. Go through your past thoughts and experiences and see how they help you to define the themes of both the T-Square and Cradle that utilizing separate planets this month.
The T-Square involves Venus, Mars and NNode. We are being asked to combine our personal energy with our dharma, our spiritual path, to attempt to define or redefine our set of values, what is important to us and what we love, how we can use our talent and resources to better define these things. Venus, as the apex planet defines, by its house location in your chart, where its approach is being used. This is an important mental and communicative process given the placement in the Mutable signs along with the unaspected thinking planets. This aspect figure stands separate from the Cradle and speaks to the energized part of the theme in play.
The Cradle fill one hemisphere and the occupied area defines its focus. The activity is within the occupied hemisphere. The theme and topic of Cradle is found at the opposition. The substance and talent available to the theme is found in the blue aspects and blue aspected planets. In this New Moon chart we find the New Moon/Sun opposite Pluto as that opposition. The tension for all of us looks to be a continuation of the political mess that we are immersed in, the state of our world. The Cradle planets offering potential positive energy to hopefully work with and resolve the tension of this opposition are all the transpersonal planets along with Saturn. This is a matter involving how the collective can help you to work out the stress between your desire to love and accept yourself (Sun/Moon in Leo) while battling with the power outside of your control. Where is 2 degrees Leo in your chart? This is the focal center of the area of life in which you find yourself involved in this process. The hemisphere that is empty is that part of the world looking to see how you handle your personal desire to come to terms with this power struggle. Of course, the ongoing relationship between Uranus, Neptune & Pluto within our collective world is in play here with Saturn conjunct our spiritual director Neptune continuing to attempt to give form to the nebulous somewhat undefinable desire to create new realities. That Saturn/Neptune conjunction is the focus of a talent triangle with Uranus & Pluto both with this new moon and onward. There will continue to be help in creating that new structure but, for now each of us has to come to terms with our own way to move forward and help ourselves and the collective. I hope the month is productive for you, me, and all of us!!
