With the Sun in Leo these last few weeks, there has been a lot of focus on yourself and who you are choosing to be in and for the world, and who have around you who supports or detriments your ability to shine your unique expression of Light into the world. The Sun, of course, is still in Leo for another few days, and Mercury is continuing its presence in the sign in direct motion for a couple more weeks.
So by now, you know you have an unique expression of Light inside you that is shining outwardly to the world, whether you are aware of it or not. And unless you have chosen to hide out in a cave somewhere, with both Sun and Mercury in Leo right now, everyone sees what you have to offer from the inside out.
Now the Moon joins the Sun and Mercury in Leo, and the Moon conjuncts the Sun at 8:55a PDT on Friday, August 17th, 2012. This conjunction is also known as New Moon in Leo.
The questions at hand are:
- Do you see yourself completely?
- Do you fully realize who you are and what you have to share with others?
- And do you own your complete self-expression from the inside out?
With the New Moon in Leo, there is an opportunity to not only know your Light but to own your Light. When I say ‘own’, I mean to claim it and be responsible and accountable for it from the inside out. Owning the expression of Light you shine – owning your unique identity – means to be able to say “Yeah, this is me. What about it?” to anyone who questions your outward self-expression. It also means that you are willing to own up to who you are being in your life (for better and worse) because you feel the truth of your self-expression in and from your inner being.
This inward talk of feelings and emotions is heart language, and for those of you who aren’t comfortable with your emotions or with expressing your emotions, this may be a challenging time for you as you are being called upon to be aware of and own your inner feelings as much as you are being aware of and owning your outward expression at this time. True ownership is being able to inwardly and outwardly express yourself. Feeling a certain way on the inside and expressing yourself outwardly in alignment with that inner Truth is the ultimate of ownership for who you are being in and for the world.
As stated in the previous blog post and earlier in this one, with the Sun and Mercury both in Leo right now, who you truly are and how you truly feel is probably no secret…to you or anyone else. Not much can be hidden in the glow of the Leo Sun, and especially with Mercury in Leo, it’s not as if people aren’t already seeing you or talking about what they see. The question under this New Moon in Leo is whether or not you choose to take 100% ownership for who you are being in your outward expression.
If taking conscious ownership of your self-expression is a challenge for you, it may be because you are not outwardly expressing yourself in full alignment with your inner Truth. You may find yourself saying things that defend or justify your actions and behaviors – things like, “That’s not really me” or “That’s not what I meant”. Those types of statements are clues that your emotions and actions are not in alignment with each other, and there is something you get to examine about yourself as to why they aren’t reflecting the Truth of who you know yourself to be and what you meant to express.
New Moons are great times to start something new – it brings an emotional awareness of your self-expression energy, which allows for an emotional renewal of energy. This Leo New Moon is a perfect opportunity to align how you choose to express yourself on the outside with who you really are on the inside. It’s a chance to show the world your True colors and to feel comfortable and confident in revealing them to others.
It’s also a chance to remember – if you’re the one who put it out there, it’s yours. You shine it, you own it.
Thanks for reading and sharing. Until next post…
