New Moon | August 4, 2024 | 12 Leo 34’
She Who Sets in Order. Order means stability, calm, tranquility and lawfulness. With no suitable Emperor available, the Empress was endorsed for the democratic candidate for President of the United States with dramatic relief and the release of excitement hopefulness and campaign contributions.
At this New Moon, we have the Higher Octave Planets, known as the Mother Letters in Tarot, highlighting the receptive, open, amenable, approachable way of being. Neptune is making a lot of aspects in this chart including an inconjunct to Venus in Leo. Venus in Leo suggests feminine leadership, which heretofore has been vexed and suppressed. We say that an inconjunct means refinement and adjustment between energies that do not easily get along. In this case we have the willful fire of Leo with the accommodating and acquiescent energy of Pisces. Leo suggests the prideful ego, while Pisces is not supportive of egoic energy. Neptune in Pisces is the more powerful planet. It is as if the higher octaves have appointed and anointed the creative leadership of Venus.
For the next several years, these higher octaves are aligned this way, harmonious with each other. Neptune is at the midpoint of Uranus and Pluto. The midpoint is also the trigger or power point. Pay attention to Neptune, which you can only do if you are poised and quiet, relaxed and present. Presence is gaining momentum as we realize that the power is always only now. We have to practice this by calling ourselves back when we forfeit the present by focusing on past or future.
Neptune is opposite Juno in Virgo. Juno represents the people, the collective, the cooperative all of us. In Virgo Juno emphasizes working together. Juno opposite Neptune attunes us to being attuned. We value ourselves as instruments to be used by the higher forces. Juno is making a grand trine in earth with Uranus in Taurus, and Pluto, soon to be back in Capricorn.
This grand trine in earth reminds me of something I read recently which said the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) native Americans had a cosmology where mother earth and women’s spirituality are interrelated vs. a European spirituality not connected to the earth.
I found myself recently being thankful for those whose wishes are being granted and whose blessings are coming in. I found myself being grateful for those who were getting the very things I had yet to see materialize. I was surprised that it felt good to use my thoughts in this way. It freed me from the focus on my bit, which, when concentrated, turns to worry. It made me feel more expansive, more feeling like I can do for others, and just like they were getting theirs, I would get mine.
We can have energetic, yet friendly debate and excited conversation as we seek a better livingness because the Sun and Moon, the lights, harmonize with Mars and Jupiter in Gemini. This is acting generously in thought and word. We might feel strongly about something, but we feel grace and respect also. It is more about the good of all, not conquest or defeat. It’s win-win. My win is better if you are winning too.
Practicum
Try blessing others. On your list, include gratitude for others getting what they want. Note how this adjustment from focus on the personal makes you feel more abundant and expectant.
