The Leo New Moon peaks in the morning, on Sunday August 4th at 7:13am EST. This weekend, IMHO, is a time to recenter amidst the otherwise bumpy energies afoot.

Leo has taught me that self-acknowledgement is one of the most powerful practices of returning home to my power. Celebrating my little victories + triumphs along the way not only reminds me of my strength, but also creates a foundation of self-trust that little can shake me from.

It has always been interesting to me that Pride is one of the 7 deadly sins. In excess, yes, it has the ability to blind us — but a lack of Pride in oneself whatsoever creates an extremely shaky foundation for us to stand on internally. It strips us of our ability to see ourself as Beloved, to know our worth and strength within. This new moon reminds us that a healthy dose of pride becomes a buoy in life’s rougher waters.

Ritual suggestion; create an altar for YOURSELF. Celebrate all of the parts of you that have made you who you are. Pour into them like they were your most beloved friends. Lay flowers at YOUR FEET. Have a mirror present, and really try to SEE yourself in your radiance. If it’s uncomfy, that’s a good sign there’s some good stuff to transform.

Honoring too, that shame is the biggest culprit to block our innate radiance. Recognize that all of the moments that you had to hide yourself because others deemed it unwanted or unacceptable. Call ALL of those past selves back to the altar, invite them to bathe in your radical love. May you be renewed by this Leo Soul Retrieval. May you know yourself as Beloved.

Much love to you my friends. xx TÆGAN
