Forecast for the New Moon in Leo 2008
Astrology for Real Life
by Rebecca Brents

The playful, creative, highly self-promoting (and
romantic!!) tone that usually comes with Leo energy is oddly subdued
this year. Not much action per se is on the schedule. The ripple
effect from Mars-trine-Jupiter that happened late last month continues.
(Solid efforts to expand your influence, profits and public presence --
affecting work and professional interests.) But those planets forming
oppositions to Neptune (the Lunation itself, Mercury and Venus) ...
support dreaming more than doing, so you do have to buckle down and get
something solid accomplished. The easier path is to just float a while
on your own fantasies -- which doesn't do much except entertain
you!!
You have terrific talents to offer, but you need to
make it known ... make it happen!! Honestly, there will never be a
better time this year to blow your own horn and attract the world's
attention. Leo energy is not one bit bashful ... and the
progress you make now will let you take good advantage of the next
natural boost that comes during Sagittarius -- when a changed focus
toward reorganizing and boosting your income and financial situation
gives you lots more to concentrate on besides developing the show
you want to star in!!
The New Moon in Leo is a double dose of showmanship
and pride. It can also be a double dose of ego power and
self-confidence, which is great under the right circumstances, and
necessary for healthy self-esteem. But it can be a fine line to walk,
that territory between justified satisfaction with one's own power and
talents -- and insufferable conceit. So yes, do tell the world how
wonderful you are ... but realize for a while, the world's lack of
amazement (Neptune oppositions promote that, unfortunately) may not be
one bit honest. Don't let it undermine your confidence ... and for
heaven's sake, don't let the absence of applause get you down! You
don't necessarily need to try harder, but you do need to be real!
Use this extraordinarily creative energy to push your
dreams, boost your artistry (everything in life has an artistic
component, you know,) and show you how to put your best self in the
spotlight. When these same dreamy personal planets join up with Saturn
in Virgo next month, the scenes and schemes you've concocted now in your
imagination will find the assets, organization and allies to become
real. No kidding. Next month's lunation really rocks when it comes to
real, solid, enduring achievement!!. This month, put together your
blue-prints, your game plan to follow -- so you have a proposed and
purposeful path to follow.
All accomplishments begin with a dream. This month,
fire up your imagination -- give it free rein. Take notes on what it
tells you ... and sit back and watch the show while doing the work it
takes to make it happen!! Let life amaze you with its singular view
of the artist you really are!!
Here's what the Lunation Chart looks like this month
and advisories for each Zodiac sign.
The Lunation in Leo

Specifically this month ...
The work needed to improve your professional
prospects and public image has terrific support this month. It's not
glamorous or flashy ... but it can bring you solid results, sturdy
foundations and resilient profits -- the kind that last and last (yes,
those kind!!) But this does mean giving plenty of attention to laying
the groundwork ... and doing the grunt-work .. that is just a necessary
part of any new segment of progress. The extra $$$ you can bank at the
end of the season should take much of the grouch-and-ouch out of the
picture. I know, hard work is still hard work ... but hard work that
pays off is sure better than the other kind. (I'm guessing we've all
known plenty of that in our time!!)
This month, be careful of the promises you make
other people -- and be especially cautious in believing the promises
they make you. Neptune oppositions set up situations where you are
cordially invited to believe what you want to believe -- but when it
comes time to deliver on their word, the people you've been counting on
for cooperation and help just flat disappear. Poof ..!! They're gone
so fast and so completely, you wonder if any of it was ever real -- or
if they were playing you for a fool from the start!
This same energy is what makes "artistic
imagination" so hot, right now though. So capitalize for all you're
worth on the benefits it offers ... and beware the hazards. Do work
you know you can count on for yourself ... and realize that for a
few weeks here other people, their intentions, their commitments, their
assurances may not be at all what they seem. Don't set yourself up for
a bad, bad fall.
The fact that other people (and the way they
react to you) are so darned insubstantial and unreliable now can
do terrible things to your self-esteem. (You know how insecure even
highly talented artists are. It's part of the legend ... and this is
why!! The public's tastes on which they depend for their feedback,
income, popularity and "sense of self" is so heartbreakingly fickle!!)
It can cause you to act on assumptions whose reality literally
evaporates the closer you get to claiming their promise. It's so much
like chasing a mirage (in fact, it's exactly like that!!), it can truly
make you crazy ... make you wonder if you're "losing it" completely.
(As I said, next month will show you a whole different, more dependable
landscape. But first you gotta get from here to there!!)
This whole effort this month is an important
segment in putting together a completely different professional path for
yourself, a public life direction that will take you to a much different
place than you're currently expecting to wind up. It will be an
improvement over your current intentions in ways that will seem freakin'
miraculous -- in time. (It's that "in time" part that's the kicker now.
It will take maybe another decade to really see this turning point in
your journey for the step-up-to-a-new-level it really is. And when
you're in the middle of a change this momentous, "The Big Picture" isn't
available to you except in your dreams and imagination. Which is
why having those right now ... and keeping the faith ... are so
essential. For us all.)
