Love’s A Playground
August 17 – 19
This is a great weekend for making a fresh start in relationship matters. The New Moon in romantic Leo arrives very early on Friday (or late Thursday, depending on your location in the world), which is an excellent time to be bolder and more ambitious in personal matters. Leo is about the heart, and the hookup between the Sun and Moon in this sign arouses courage, creativity, and the desire to take charge of our personal lives. Though some might come across as too pushy or self-important, it’s better to act boldly than to meekly wait for someone else to make the first move.
Favorable connections between the New Moon and a Mars-Saturn conjunction in Libra remind us that cooperation is the key to successful partnerships. While it’s great to have the self-confidence to initiate activities or plan extravagant events, making sure that the other person is on board is a must. The fires of love require trust rooted in the belief that both parties’ opinions count. But grand romantic gestures and childlike fun are also part of the Leo Moon’s repertoire — it’s time to play hard without holding back the joy and generosity that is so attractive now.
