“A revolution is seeded. Refusal to accept the unacceptable.”
The Leo New Moon on 7/24 is opposite Pluto in Aquarius and trine Neptune (and Saturn) in Aries. This lunation marks a significant seeding point for the collective. A revolution begins.
Tarot correspondences include Strength (Leo), The Sun (rules Leo), The World (Saturn rules Leo’s first decan) the Knight and 5 of Wands. The Hanged Man (Neptune) and Judgement (Pluto) cards are also activated by aspect. This New Moon holds the energy of the cautious seeding of a revolution, an insistence that change is necessary with recognition that it will require patience, grit and determination.
Leo 3’s Sabian Symbol, “A woman having her hair bobbed”, like its opposing degree, Aquarius 3, “A deserter from the Navy” relate to refusing to accept societal “norms”, the status quo, or what authority figures may deem appropriate. Neptune sits in Aries 3, trining this lunation from a degree related to how we as individuals fit into the larger picture. With Neptune here, there is a strong sense of the dissolving of conformity and support for creative new perspectives and ideas.
The Sun & Moon sit in Hexagram 31 (Influence), Line 1, which teaches us to patiently cultivate influence through the law of attraction. This line is an indicator of a movement to come, an idea beginning to form, us dipping a toe in the waters of change. This line changes Hex31 to Hex49 (Revolution), a hexagram which also holds the energy of the seed of a revolution, though Line 1 still advises patience, caution and restraint. says of 49.1 “Omen alerting to the condition of oppression. Reform is needed...the initial stage of revolution - the beginnings of an awakening.”
This New Moon asks us to affirm and demonstrate our commitment to higher principles and values, thus seeding momentum and revolt against currently unacceptable conditions and oppression.
