New moons can be a tricky time. Whilst the forces of shadow are at play they can produce a state of confusion. The mysteries become conscious when the New Moon crescent appears. It’s a time to start fresh with new ideas and plans, and this new Moon is bright and shiny in Leo.

If there’s something creative that you want to start, now would be a perfect time.  It’s the beginning of a new cycle and we can build something that’s likely to last. This New Moon can help us immensely to create a brand new path. It’s constructive and productive. There’s likely to be a new chapter on the romantic front, playfulness, creativity and living a life with love and passion.

This afternoon provides us with a transit which helps us be more patient. You can make steady progress with what you are busy with.  Your capacity for discipline increases. Patience and persistence is the key, no matter what gets in your way, or who slows you down.

You will likely want to take care of your responsibilities and get your work done before the weekend. The afternoon could run like clockwork. Even emotions seem more controlled.

You should feel quite satisfied with yourself at the end of the day.

Not that it matters much, but in case you have to attend to something important, the moon goes void at 7.55pm and then heads into analytical Virgo early hours of the morning. The weekend will be good for sorting things out and taking care of life’s little details.
