The new moon on August 4 takes place in Leo, the home of the sun. The iconic fire sign, synonymous with summer, celebration, self-expression, and creativity, is the setting for our intentions. The sun, therefore, rules this new moon, and together they are in sextile with two other fire planets, Jupiter and Mars. The duo is conjunct in Gemini, and their harmonious aspect to this new moon promises dynamic days. A lot of fire and a lot of air mix in this lunation, urging us to go out, move, and celebrate.

With Jupiter, the social context is crucial. The ruler of Sagittarius pulls us out of isolation, encourages us to enjoy the company of friends, have hearty laughs, and, above all, sparks the idea of going on a journey.

With Mars, energy is in abundance, and hitting the road with friends can be an excellent idea if you had nothing planned during this period. Mars in Gemini makes us appreciate activities on the move, so why not attend a workshop? Indeed, in Gemini, Mars encourages us to diversify our knowledge and learning.

If there were to be a shadow on the picture, it would be Neptune. At the sesquiquadrate of the sun and the moon, Neptune can make us see things through rose-colored glasses. Don't expect too much! In fact, with this dissonant aspect of Neptune, don't put too much stock in what happens to you. The best advice is to take things lightly and, above all, not to make grand plans.

Mercury entered Virgo a few days ago. In its own sign, where it usually feels very comfortable, it is starting to slow down. Its speed has considerably decreased, and it will enter a retrograde phase to return to Leo on August 16. While a Mercury retrograde is usually not a disaster, be careful this time because the zodiac messenger is square Uranus. Currently in Virgo, Mercury will push us into a period of harsh criticism and self-criticism. Uranus disrupts, provokes unexpected situations, and with Mercury, probably surprising encounters.

On the day after this new moon, Venus enters Virgo to join Mercury. The planet of love becomes very practical and materialistic. However, it helps us introduce reason into our emotional lives, weigh the pros and cons, and discriminate. Unfortunately, like Mercury, Venus is square Uranus, a challenging aspect that disrupts our love and partnership lives. It can already be said that during this period, any encounter that is meant to be light-hearted is not likely to last very long.

The festive context of this new moon in Leo should open your eyes to what is ephemeral and will not have a lasting impact. You can be curious, have plans for outings, or travel with your friends, but don't invest too much in it and take things as they come. As for those who are used to falling in love quickly, be cautious not to pick up the pieces of your heart. With Mercury retrograde, take the time to think and don't throw yourself into the arms of just anyone!

This is certainly a highly anticipated new moon! Indeed, we've been waiting for a gentle and soothing lunation for a long time. The sun and the moon come together in Cancer, the moon's domicile. A water sign, Cancer is very protective, sensitive, and turned towards the origin of the world. Thus, in Cancer, we have a tendency to dream, to imagine, and to envelop... This new moon is even stronger as it is ruled by the moon itself, and in this atmosphere of gentleness, our luminaries are conjunct with Venus, the planet of love. When Venus gets involved, we tend to become very sentimental and to get carried away a little too quickly. However, Venus remains what we call a benefic of the zodiac, and we should feel its positive effects, provided we live our feelings with authenticity.

Also, the sextile to Uranus promises not to bore us. Being sweet and caring does not prevent us from adding a bit of madness to our lives! So, don't shut the door to all the events that offer to take you out of your comfort zone!

This lunation is also in trine to Saturn, the planet that wants to bring order everywhere! In our case, Saturn ensures that we find a certain stability without losing the dreamy side of this new moon. Saturn prioritizes and has a sense of responsibility. Thus, to those who decide to materialize a project calling for sensitivity, Saturn provides all its support.

Mars is also in the mix: in Taurus, it facilitates our artistic activities, helps us take our time while still completing our projects. Its sextile to the new moon is a good thing for family matters, provided you don't provoke electric situations, as Uranus is not far away... It is essential to preserve an environment of kindness. Postpone conflict resolutions!

Shortly before this lunation, Mercury entered Leo, putting the mind in the spotlight. In Leo, relationships are revealed, and expression is straightforward and flattering. We like to showcase ourselves to others, but beware of the temptation of superficial relationships. It is crucial to be authentic, as is the case with Venus and love. You will shine even more as the person you address feels your sincerity. In trine to Neptune, Mercury is softened and therefore more in line with the new moon in Cancer. Another important aspect related to the mind and exchanges of Mercury is its sextile to Jupiter. It seems that the ruler of Sagittarius wants to protect us from any overflow.

As you can see, this new moon in Cancer describes a climate of tenderness. Several signs in planetary exchanges give us hope to start the summer under the best auspices. The fast-moving planets interact harmoniously with each other and with the slow-moving planets that guide our lives on longer terms. Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto, the three slowest of the zodiac, promise us a more harmonious future, but for now, we must show kindness towards each other. The future is built at each phase of the moon, and the intentions set should refer to it.

New Moon of June 6, 2024

The moon disappears into the sign of Gemini, inviting us to set intentions related to what characterizes Mercury's domain. Gemini represents youth, curiosity, and the discovery of the world around us. Thus, this sign is linked to communication, exchanges, learning, and travel. In its thirst for discoveries, the Gemini sign makes us jump from one subject to another, sometimes skimming the surface. If we don't seek to understand its insatiability, we tend to think of Gemini as superficial.

This new moon is conjunct Venus, which is at the same degree as the sun and the moon. The beauty is very cerebral in the domicile of Mercury. Love takes on an intellectual dimension, favoring verbal exchanges and travel, becoming the sustenance of the heart. But the sky has decided that it wouldn't be so simple...

The sun, the moon, and Venus are square Saturn. An unambiguous dissonant aspect, the square to Saturn urges us to take responsibility. It already seems that the impatience of Gemini must be controlled and elevated towards greater maturity. Let's say it without euphemism: Saturn combats the immaturity of Gemini. This new moon encourages us to linger on a subject and not deviate from it without fully grasping its meaning.

Mercury, the ruler of this lunation, is also in Gemini and conjunct the sun and the moon, although the conjunction is quite wide. The zodiac's messenger is very comfortable and facilitates our communications. While Saturn pushes us to grow, to elevate ourselves, we do not lose the relational sense typical of Gemini. There is ultimately an opportunity to solidify relationships by taking the time to dwell on them. This is a good understanding of Saturn's work on one hand, and Mercury's on the other.

Conjunct Mercury is Jupiter. Having entered Gemini on May 26, Jupiter amplifies all communication-related matters, learning, and aspects of our playful character. It's probably an opportunity to consider a training, for example. This wouldn't be a problem if Saturn did not set its limits. We need to learn not to go too far, and the most distracted among us may risk falling under the scrutiny of criticism. Mercury is also trine Pluto. You will instinctively know if you are on the wrong path or if you are addressing the right person, with Pluto helping to see clearly by developing our psychological sense.

An important transit occurs a few days after this new moon: Mars will leave Aries to enter Taurus, significantly lowering the level of energy and spontaneity. But for now, Mars is still in Aries and square Pluto. This aspect is very challenging, very masculine, and can lead to fits of anger. Contain yourself because with a new moon in Gemini, we might not be able to hold back the words.

This new moon can be an opportunity to grow, provided it is experienced consciously and avoiding the pitfalls of impatience and anger.

It may be with this new moon in Aries that we really feel the effect of spring. Indeed, the sun and the moon united in the home of the first sign of the zodiac naturally mark a symbolic cycle at the very least. Aries is a fire sign that encourages initiative and masculine actions. A strong presence of Aries in a birth chart often signifies a very dynamic and athletic personality. One might think that it is time to take action, to go straight ahead! This lunation is also an opportunity to observe a beautiful solar eclipse, with the moon and the sun passing over the north node. The moon, although small, still has the power to obscure the largest planet, confirming that both have equal importance. For this lunation, the feminine element, sensitivity, takes the lead.

If we pay attention to Mars, which rules this new moon, we see it in Pisces and conjunct Saturn. It is in a feminine and receptive sign that takes away some of its aggressiveness. This transit of Mars in Pisces should be seen as an opportunity to undertake while maintaining a sense of empathy, benevolence, and, above all, unwavering faith. But Mars remains as solid as a rock: Saturn makes our endeavors more than serious, even if discouragement may affect some. We need to consider our initiatives in the long term, without expecting gratifying returns right away. The sextile between Mars and Jupiter gives us the assurance of returns on investments.

However, you are invited to think carefully before undertaking. Mercury is conjunct the sun and the moon in Aries and has been in its retrograde phase since April 2. This is not Aries' strong point, but do not get carried away. Weigh all questions seriously and do not omit any details. Unfortunately, Mercury is also square Pluto: there is a real danger for the impatient ones, those who cannot hold their tongue. Beware of business dealings that are not conducted with benevolence but with manipulation. Because where Mars is, in Pisces, manipulation is also present. Remember that if Neptune's home symbolizes spirituality, it is also a place of expression for gurus and other manipulators. So, make sure to respect Mercury's retrograde, and read all the lines of the contracts you sign meticulously.

As for Venus, our emblematic planet of love, it has just entered Aries. Impulsive, flirtatious, sometimes a victim of a fleeting passion, Venus is sextile Pluto. This will make love lives exciting! The shadowy Pluto darkens everything it touches, and this will be felt in terms of magnetism for this new moon. But beware, as Venus is semi-square Jupiter: perhaps one should not overindulge... Ego can take an undesirable form, and the magnetism you may feel, in yourself or in a partner, must be used healthily.

So, this is ultimately a rather complex new moon where it is better not to follow the desire to go forward at all costs. Take your time!

New Moon of March 10, 2024

No less than four planets are in Pisces for this new moon on March 10. We find, of course, the sun and the moon, but also Saturn and Neptune. Understand that this new moon is immersed in the deep waters, the oceans of Neptune. The conjunction of the God of the oceans with the sun and the moon is certainly the most striking aspect. Neptune, at home in Pisces since February 2012, is doing a powerful job of awakening consciousness. It brings us, through those born since, messages of peace, compassion, and unconditional love. But Neptune and the sign of Pisces are also about ambiguity, the impossibility of finding one's way, confusion.

This new moon on March 10 is primarily about spirituality in all its forms. It is already useful to know how you have access to this spirituality: is it true? Does it correspond to an opening of your soul? Or do you cultivate secrecy? Are you driven by artificial paradises? And yes, Neptune is all that!

Another very powerful and often frightening planet is in conjunction with this new moon: it's Saturn! The mention of its name is intimidating because Saturn ensures hardship. The handbrake of the zodiac, the eternal dissatisfied, and also its share of constraints and disappointments, pose as a major planet of this lunation. So, we'll have to roll up our sleeves, not let ourselves be beaten down, understand, or even learn that there are moments in life when only hard work pays off, and that it is impossible to skip a single step.

The presence of Neptune and Saturn alongside the sun and the moon are powerful markers in terms of elevating consciousness and the work we still have to do.
Neptune, the master of this lunation, is also conjunct Mercury. Our celestial messenger enters Aries on this new moon day. It should be fueled by the fire of the first sign of the zodiac, but it remains close to Neptune's embrace. Thus, our mind, certainly sharper, is still immersed in an imaginary world and retains access to poetic expression at best, secrecy, or even falsehood at worst.
Uranus also has its say because it is sextile the sun and the moon. Uranus brings a bit of madness, the possibility of not being too restricted by Saturn. It's a breath of freedom, an opportunity to move towards novelty and live in a quite original way. Uranus is all the more important as it has control over Pluto, but especially Venus and Mars, which are in its home sign, Aquarius.

The conjunction of Venus and Mars in Aquarius is still problematic for this new moon. The love-desire couple is unstable and prevents us from tolerating the routine associated with the couple, as if we felt that we were losing our freedom. Moreover, Mars' square to Uranus intensifies desire: there is a desire for escape, to see if we can find something better elsewhere. It all depends on each individual's situation. In any case, you can realize that if you find your couple life too restrictive, there is the possibility of changing your mind, but preferably together. With a lunation conjunct Neptune, making a radical decision in love would probably be a mistake.
