DAILY ASTROLOGY: AUGUST 1-4

NEW MOON IN LEO from 9:12pm EDT on Monday August 1 until Thursday August 4 at 0:13am EDT. (Moon is VOID OF COURSE from 8:44pm - 9:12pm on Monday August 1. SEE APRIL 7 POST for information on V/C Moons. The NEW MOON is EXACT at 10 degrees Leo at 4:44pm EDT on Tuesday August 2. Ruled by the Sun the Leo Moon holds both the Masculine and Feminine archetypes. It's not easy for the Feminine Moon to be in a Masculine sign (Leo) but this Fixed Fire Moon does carry the inherent wisdom of how to resolve these fundamental opposites - to reach the basic astrological goal of wholeness. SEE MARCH POST: THE HIDDEN OPPORTUNITY OF OPPOSITIONS. This Moon period is a time to Create Passionate Playful Projects of the Heart! Leo is the child of the zodiac and loves to entertain and express himself dramatically. The New Moon finds both Sun and Moon together in this regal sign, so it's time to Begin a New Chapter in style! Best time to begin is soon before the New Moon is exact on Tuesday.

LAST ASPECT OF MOON: Moon Conjunct Venus at 0:13am EDT on Thursday August 4. We can't imagine any time better than this to begin a New Chapter of Love in your life. Whether it's a brand new relationship or finding an innovative way to be with the grand ole' love of your life, initiating Creative Acts of Love, Beauty and Money (Venus) are likely to have EXCELLENT results at this time. Take advantage of this very special opportunity...mama said there'd be days like this, but she didn't say how rarely they show up!

 

SCENE OF THE DAY: The Graduate, 1967; Director: Mike Nichols. Finding passionate love stories where Venus conquers all was not difficult. The final scene of The Graduate, though, has to top my list for young, passionate and even playful Leonine romance! Talk about Drama... Dustin Hoffman, Katherine Ross and Anne Bancroft light up the screen during so many classic cinematic moments in this film... not to mention the unforgettable amazing soundtrack!
