NEW MOON ASTROLOGY

SATURDAY | AUGUST 23

This New Moon arrives in Leo, resting in Magha Nakshatra, a place of remembrance, lineage, and the quiet power of those who came before us. It is a moon that calls us back to our roots—reminding us that we carry the stories, strengths, and lessons of our ancestors in the very fabric of our being.

The Sun and Moon sit together in Leo, offering us both clarity and challenge around authority, vitality, and how we hold our own place in the world. This energy can feel like a weight at times, asking us to notice what drains us and what truly supports our life force. In Magha, the veil between the seen and unseen grows thinner. We may feel the nearness of loved ones who have passed, or a pull to honor those whose footsteps shaped our path.

This lunar beginning whispers of balance: to bow to the past without becoming bound by it, and to remember that we are also shaping the lineage of tomorrow. As the cycle unfolds toward September’s ancestral observances, let this moon be a moment of grounding—an invitation to listen inwardly, honor your roots, and step gently into the new cycle with presence.
