A New Moon of Surprises

“The  act of perception is always open-ended and unfinished.” David Abram

“If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear as it is, infinite.” William Blake

The Moon waxes new on Wednesday 8/16. New Moons offer a time of a fresh new start – ushering in a new 28 day cycle. They provide a good time to turn over a new leaf or start a new project.

The New Moon this month is at 23 degrees of Leo. It  forms a square with Uranus, the planet of  unexpected events. This is a high energy  combination and can lead to impatience and impulsive behavior. There can be surprises which may require course correction, but there can also be surprising and innovative solutions – as happens often with  Tarot Card readings.

It’s best to look at any needed changes or adjustments as an opportunity for personal growth.

There is also a very grounded, supportive trine in the earthy signs of Capricorn, Virgo and Taurus as Mars, Uranus and Pluto align favorably. This can help move projects forward in a stable way.

One of the Sabian symbols for this time is,”Two girls playing with a ouija board.”
