Pluto is sitting in your sign, retrograde, stirring the sediment — the New Moon is your permission slip to let the murk settle before you start calling it the view.
A razor-thin New Moon at 8° Leo sits in your opposite sign, conjunct Jupiter and trine Saturn in Aries — your ruler is being asked to build something, even while Mercury retrograde in Cancer muddies the message. The Moon simultaneously sextiles Mars and Uranus, both in Gemini, which means the energy for action is available but scattered, like a signal looking for an antenna. Pluto retrograde at 4° Aquarius is doing its slow archaeological work directly in your sign — whatever is being excavated right now is yours to examine, not bury again.
You are a Fixed Air sign, which means you think in systems and you hold your shape under pressure — sometimes too well. Today's New Moon in Leo, your opposite, is asking a quietly pointed question: what would it look like if you let someone else be the architect of the next chapter, at least briefly? Jupiter is sitting right there with the Moon, generous and wide-eyed, which suggests the answer might be larger than you expect. This isn't a dissolution of self. It's a widening.
Mercury is retrograde in Cancer and squaring your ruler Saturn in Aries — a 4°54' square that has teeth. Ideas you thought were settled are being renegotiated. Documents, conversations, plans that felt finished may need another pass. This is mildly annoying and entirely useful. Saturn in Aries doesn't love the delay, but it respects the revision. Don't send the thing you drafted at midnight. Read it again in the morning light.
Pluto retrograde in your own sign is the slow drumbeat under all of this. It's been asking — patiently, then less patiently — who you are when the ideology falls away, when the framework you built your identity around gets stress-tested. The New Moon opposition to that Pluto is not a confrontation; it's a mirror. What the Leo-Jupiter energy illuminates in others right now is likely a reflection of what Pluto is slowly, deliberately composting in you. Let it compost. That's not failure. That's fertilizer.
The Leo New Moon opposing Pluto in your sign means a relationship may be surfacing something true — let the discomfort speak before you theorize it away.
Mercury retrograde squaring Saturn is a bureaucratic headache, yes, but it's also a second chance to make the argument tighter before it lands in front of the people who matter.
Pluto retrograde in Aquarius is not a crisis — it's an audit, and you are both the accountant and the account.
““The New Moon is a time of beginnings, but the wise astrologer notes that a beginning made in darkness is one made in faith, not certainty.””
TranslationLilly understood that the New Moon's power isn't in what you can see — it's in what you're willing to commit to before the light returns. Today, faith in the direction is enough; the map will clarify as the Moon grows.
Write down one belief about yourself that you've been carrying so long you've stopped questioning it — then ask, sincerely, whether it still fits.
