The Leo New Moon brings new beginnings for all things related to the zodiac sign of Leo. Ruled by the sun, Leo’s have a sunny and cheerful disposition, are warm hearted, courageous, brave, expressive, creative, big-hearted, generous, confident, ambitious, loyal and fiercely protective of close family and friends.

Leo rules the heart, spine, spinal system and upper back. Leos have a tremendous sense of honor. They are said to have the backbone needed to stand up for what is right. They tend to follow the impulses of their heart and intuition.

This is a great time for starting new creative projects. The Leo New Moon is Conjunct Mercury which adds to Leo’s natural inclination to express themselves, be gregarious and outgoing.

The stellium conjunction between Sun, Moon and Mercury forms the apex of a finger of god, or point of fate and destiny. Whatever, is happening now has the feeling of fate being accomplished. The finger of God is a reference to God’s unlimited power as He intervenes directly in the affairs of men. The working of the finger of God is unmistakable. 

This stellium of planets forming the apex of the finger of God is also opposite Saturn which brings illumination through exposing structural or foundational issues.

The stellium’s finger of God Square to Uranus (the revolutionary) can indicate conflict and the need for adjustment. There’s a great deal of stress and tension to mobilize forces for revolutionary change. If there’s something that needs to be broken up, or revolutionized, so that the seeds planted at the Leo New Moon may bear fruit, then this Square to Uranus can help with removal of obstacles that may prevent things from moving forward.
