Astrology shows that this New Moon is one of a kind because it occurs precisely as we experience a total solar eclipse in conjunction with Leo. Combined with all the other celestial events this week, horoscopes will receive a surge of deep, invigorating, and, one might say, dense energy. For this reason, horoscopes advise moving at a pace that allows us to feel secure as we process all of this.

Astrological Events Influencing the New Moon

In reality, a solar eclipse can only occur during a New Moon or Full Moon, because that is precisely when the orbits of the Sun and the Moon align in such a way that the Moon’s shadow can block out the Sun. But this time, since the solar eclipse occurs during a New Moon, both events symbolize new beginnings, inviting all astrology signs to experience and explore options that previously seemed infeasible to us.

This eclipse also comes to shed light on those emotions and thoughts we’ve buried deep inside. Fortunately, with the conjunction in Leo, during the solar season of the same sign, horoscopes show this will only give us even more energy and motivation to make it happen. Plus, we’ll have Leo’s creativity to think outside the box, so if doing the same thing over and over doesn’t work, you’ll find a new alternative.

If you want to harness these forces, since this is a process for making a fresh start, the best approach is meditation to become aware of the energies you no longer wish to carry forward into the future. Since your mind is clear and at peace, you can also take this opportunity to engage in manifestation practices. A very effective ritual is to write down what you wish to achieve, as having these goals in physical form makes them feel more real and attainable to your mind.

Another widely used rite during this type of “rebirth” is performing cleansing rituals to eliminate discomfort and any energy you wish to cut ties with. A very simple way to perform a cleansing is to do it while taking a bath, a thorough one in which you cleanse the energy with soap and water, so it is carried down the drain. Many people take this opportunity to turn their bath into a ritual, treating themselves maybe with bath bombs, lotions, and flower-infused baths. Other forms of cleansing can involve music, candles, and incense, especially if you use scents like lavender, which help you relax.
