The New Moon lands in YOUR sign today, Leo — 8° of your own sky, right next to Jupiter. This is not a beginning handed to you. This is a beginning you've been training for.
At 2% illumination, the Moon sits at 8°28' Leo, conjunct Jupiter at 3°31' Leo — a New Moon amplified by the planet of expansion, right in your home territory. Your ruler, the Sun, is in Cancer at 23°, traveling alongside retrograde Mercury, so the light source is turned inward and the inner monologue is louder than usual. Meanwhile the Moon opposes retrograde Pluto in Aquarius, meaning this fresh start has teeth: something old has to be released to make room.
A New Moon in your own sign is the annual reset you didn't know you were waiting for — and this one arrives holding Jupiter's hand. That's not small. Jupiter hasn't been here in twelve years, and the conjunction with the lunation means whatever intention you plant today carries a generosity of scale that ordinary New Moons don't carry. But notice: the Moon is at 8°, Jupiter at 3°, so you're planting slightly ahead of the expansion, not behind it. The growth is still coming toward you. Set the seed first.
The Sun and retrograde Mercury are both in Cancer, which is the sign of your solar twelfth house — the private rooms, the hidden work, the things you do when no one is watching. You may feel an unusual pull to work on something quietly rather than perform it. Respect that. The retrograde is not asking you to go backward; it's asking you to revise the story you've been telling about what you want and why you want it. The 'why' is doing the real renovation right now.
The Moon's opposition to retrograde Pluto in Aquarius — your seventh house of partnership — is the fine print on this beautiful contract. Some dynamic in a relationship, a collaboration, or even a public identity has been quietly dying. Today's lunation asks you to let it finish dying cleanly rather than resuscitating it out of habit. The Moon also trines Neptune and sextiles both Mars and Uranus, which means your emotional intelligence is sharper than your fear, and your instincts are worth following into the unfamiliar room.
The New Moon opposite Pluto in your seventh house is a direct invitation to stop performing the relationship and start actually being in it.
With the Sun and retrograde Mercury both in your twelfth, the most productive thing you can do professionally today is work in private, revise what isn't ready, and resist the urge to announce.
Jupiter conjunct your New Moon is a once-in-twelve-years whisper that your sense of self is allowed to be larger than the version other people have gotten comfortable with.
““The New Moon in the native's own sign is a time of beginning again from the root of oneself, not from the opinions of others.””
TranslationLilly understood that a lunation in your natal sign is fundamentally about self-origination — which means today, your starting point is you, not your audience, not your reputation, not what looks good from the outside.
