Leo New Moon and Lion's Gate Portal

Relishing your Self and your life

Image painted by Kimberly Millstone

Leo energy, at its core is about creative self expression.

It also carries the signatures of strength, confidence and courage.

The Leo New Moon at 12*34’ on August 4th at 6:13am CST is here to help us access the heart of who we truly are as we creatively express our own mastery. 

We’ve all been taught to mask and perform. Just like an actor in the theatre, we do this to varying degrees. Many of us have never felt what it’s like to be our whole sovereign selves in this lifetime.

The experiences coming into your life now give you an opportunity to pull off the masks and look at yourself with fresh eyes and without shame.

Where have you been contorting yourself to show up as the person most likable, agreeable or most pleasing to the consensus aesthetic?

Likewise, what parts of you have been hidden because they don’t seem appealing or marketable?

Everything showing up in your life now is an arrow pointing to where you’re still keeping yourself hidden and powerless. 

Nothing is more impotent than a habit that downplays who you really are in your heart and soul.

We’re in a massive global reset as we head into the Syrian Lion’s Gate Portal on 8/8. 

Work with the waves as they come in. 

Your Soul has paced this time to match your ability to see what’s true for you.

It’s very helpful to breathe, stay grounded and pause with each new wave. 

What does your life want you to see or know at this time? 

There’s a deeper purpose to everything happening. Can you be quiet and listen for the messages? 

Can you meet them head-on with courage?

Can you be honest with yourself when it’s uncomfortable or even scary?

Embrace the support tools that work for you. 

I’m finding many are being intuitively reminded of what will be most effective to move and process the powerful energies in play.

One friend has revisited tapping to great effect, another is using ‘stream of consciousness’ journaling to find her blind spots. 

Don’t assume because the tool didn’t work in the past that it won’t help now. 

Trust your intuition and where you’re being led.

***

Because the energies are intense and ongoing, we need time for rest and replenishing. 

Mercury goes retrograde the same day as this new Moon, traveling back through Virgo and Leo between Aug 4-28th, for this very purpose. 

Use this time to reflect and rebalance, to connect in with your body and heart.

This time is a gift from the heavens.

***

With Venus and Vesta also in Leo at this new Moon, our life shows us where our true desires lie, what we came here to create for ourselves and the greater good, our ultimate Soul purpose.

The spiral continuum levels up on August 8th as we begin a new Sacred Year. 

Let’s embrace our heart’s yearnings. 

Set your intentions to release anything that isn’t you.

Like a hot air balloon dropping sand bags, let go of the heaviness and things that hold you back so you can embrace your new found strength and the amazing life waiting for you on the other side of this new Moon cycle and the Royal Lion’s gate.

With much Leo Love,

Kimberly
