Lunar Insights and Planetary Alignments

During this New Moon, Mercury is in retrograde under the practical Earth sign Virgo, then shifting into fiery Leo after ten days (August 4-27). Venus remains in Leo, enhancing our passions and desires, while Pluto in retrograde opposes Leo, challenging us to confront deep transformations. The Lion’s Gate Portal, opening from mid-July to mid-August, marks a time of rebirth and new beginnings as Sirius aligns with Orion’s Belt, creating a powerful spiritual awakening. It passes through August 8, 2024 (08/08/(2+0+2+4) 8 signifying the angel number 888 of abundance and success.
