New Moon Meaning

Sun conjunct Moon represents the end of one cycle and the beginning of another new 28-day cycle. It gives an invigorating burst of energy and initiative. But it also brings emotional balance, not irrationally emotional, and not too cold and calculating.

So this is an excellent time for making a fresh start, turning over a new leaf, or starting a new project. You can also question old habits, behaviors, and beliefs as you search for new and inventive ways to make progress.

New Moon Aspect

New Moon square Uranus brings sudden and unexpected change, instability, chaos, and revolution. An unsettling feeling of impending change can make you feel excited but also restless, anxious, and nervous. This, in turn, can lead to abruptness, unreliability, impulsiveness, rebelliousness, unpredictable behavior, rapid changes in direction, and even accidents.

This new moon aspect can amplify your ego and pride. You may feel a strong urge to express your true inner self without restriction. But willfulness and arrogance could easily lead to ego conflicts, especially if you take on superiors.

This is not a good time for impulsive changes but you may have to react to change. And the best way to do this is with flexibility, creativity, and inventiveness. Avoid stubbornly sticking to routines if the universe is sending messages that you need to change. Open-mindedness and higher self-awareness can lead to a brave new path with exciting possibilities and opportunities.

The Fixed Stars

The August 8 new moon in the middle of the Sign of Leo. But in the sky, it is located between the Constellations of Cancer and Leo. This discrepancy is due to the precession of the equinoxes. It has moved the Sun Signs almost a whole Sign out of alignment with the Constellations from which they were named over 2000 years ago.

    He stands alone, no one touches the robe.

  4. I used to love reading your horoscopes but now I find that unless you educate yourself on the truth of what is really occurring in society, your reading will be inaccurate. You mention Bill Cosby as an example of his conviction, yet in reality, he was a scapegoat and was a poster person, he never even served one day in prison! Most of the mainstream news is false and not an indication of planetary aspects! If you want to claim to be the KING of astrology, then learn your TRUE history….

    • Dee, I also questioned the use of Dr. Cosby’s conviction as an example b/c he was a scapegoat based on how everything played out in the “news”.This site is still somewhat new for me, but any suggestions on where to find more truthful implications of planetary aspects as it relates to events occurring in the world?

    I’m not a mathematician but the Catalan sequence in leaves (5) and branches (14) feels very beautiful.

    at the New Moon asteroid Catalan is 18Tau38, conjunct natal Vestas, and square natal Leo stellium

    • Add asteroid 12140 Johnbolton.

      If you are Australian you’ll recognize John G Bolton as the force behind Parkes radio astronomy dish. He’s a character that would work while enjoying listening to the BBC Hitchhikers Guide to the Universe, and actually feel he’s the hitchhiker. You can just image him roaring with laughter at Douglas Adams ‘The Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything is 42’

      The transit of johnbolton at Libra critical degree, is of intense integration.
