Leo’s evolutionary goal is to develop their authentic self-expression and showcase it. To leave tangible evidence of the contents of their imagination and heart in the world. To express their inner world outwardly, and to do so takes courage.
This new moon highlights our capacity to be embody the fullness of our authentic self-expression. The moon forms a harmonious aspect with Jupiter in Aries. Jupiter is symbolic of where we need to have more faith in ourselves. (wherever Jupiter lies in our chart is where we tend to underestimate ourselves and our gifts). Meanwhile, Aries and Leo asks us to harness our confidence and courage so that we can show up not only for ourselves, but to allow for the full expression of our inherent gifts and talents and the resulting impact that they can have on others.
Showing up in our authenticity takes courage as does expressing oneself vulnerably and from the heart. Both are courageous acts.
The shadow side of Leo is performing for the crowd rather than sharing from the heart, so under this Leo new moon and Leo season, ask yourself:
How can you show up more authentically?
Is there any part of you that is dimming your self-expression to cater to the crowd rather than following your heart’s guidance?
Expressing yourself authentically can be a vulnerable/courageous act. How can you invite playfulness and joy into the process to ease any discomfort?
Can you become your biggest supporter and speak to yourself in encouraging ways throughout the process?
