New moon @ 5° Leo, 28 July

On my ASC

Not that any of you lovely people need advice, but I'm watching this and finding it relevant (for women...in Leo season):

Also Looks Like Draco new Moon is on my Karma (and your Mars)

Yes...for me, it's curious because the draco new moon is conjunct my draco Mercury in Gemini, draco Neptune exactly conjunct natal Mercury.

I was watching Molly McCord's video on the upcoming Gem Mars Rx cycle and she said people might have "decision fatigue" because of all the Rx cycles happening Gemini in recent years: Gem Venus Rx (2020), Gem NN (2020 to early 2022), Gem Mercury Rx (2022) and now it's time for Mars.

I felt that, especially with tr draco Neptune on my Mercury.

sorry if this is a basic question - Is a new moon a positive thing? What's it supposed to represent?

[Ava]

Hi vg

I suppose it's the seed energy of something, the quiet, nascent phase. It can be (or feel) positive or negative, depending on various factors, like how it aspects one's own chart, or how the new moon itself is aspected in the event chart.

New moons can be frustrating if we are seeking input or inspiration, and there is a lack of emotional expression around us. People tend to be more expressive around full moons.

It's customary to set intentions at the new moon. (Sorry for stating the obvious...I tend to do that a lot.) Instructional videos are numerous and varied. So far I have never actually done this. This new moon falls in my 12th house and opposes my Mercury and I doubt I'm going to start now. Maybe with the next new moon (@ 4 Virgo, in my second house).

Totally agree with Ava i often find the fullmoons to be more "in your face" in terms of visible events unfolding or happening, though the seed might have been sowed by the New Moon of course.

Also did you realize that today Jupiter is also stationing retrograde? Just a couple hours after the New Moon?

I was not aware of it, but read it just now, and well for me it means it will move back to trine my ASC and Mars again and conjunct my IC. Sounds at least interesting.


New Moon also trines Mars and IC for me. I think I have the asteroid Hypnos (14827) somewhere around too. Yeah, 6°09 Leo.

Oh holy moly, look at that! 😳


Today, in the New Moon chart:

Tr Hypnos 5°54 Leo

Next fullmoon will be on 12th august btw (19 Leo - Aqua); hence opposite, conjunct my Moon with just 2 degrees. That should be interesting. Venus on 00 Leo starting a new sign. However Moon will be conjunct Saturn on 22 mAqua, so, there is always something, isn`t there? lol

Thanks Ava - it will be conjunct my MC. I actually applied to do a masters Today - i think my decision to do so is more mars/uranus/NN as well
