Each new moon symbolizes new beginnings, manifestation of our dreams into reality, change and transformation. As it occurs in a different sign each month, the new moon represents opportunities for growth in these areas of our lives.
WHY NEW MOON WISHING WORKS:
Understanding astrology means learning to flow with astrological rhythms and taking advantage of Astrological Power Periods that can assist with manifesting your dreams! Each new moon is a special time to ask the universe for support for your desires for the future.
When you make a wish, you feel hope, desire and intention. Your thoughts, emotions (and wishes) create energies that you send out into the universe and through the law of attraction, the universe works to echo the same energy back to you to make your wish come true. When you make a wish on the new moon, the energy of ‘new beginnings’ AMPLIFIES the energy of the wish you are making – it gives your wish more power to manifest!
There are 2 Leo new moons this year! The first will occur at 5:46am EST on Sunday, July 23rd and the second (also the Lunar Eclipse) will occur at 2:30pm EST on August 21st. Be sure to double check for the timing of these new moons in your location!

Suggestions for wishes on the July 23rd, 2017 New Moon:
This new moon occurs with the Sun and Moon conjunct Mars in Leo, so this is an especially great time to wish for the ability to express your most authentic self. Mars in Leo brings the ability to surface hidden truths now so this is a great time to wish for the universe to reveal your gifts and strengths that you might not yet be fully aware of. You can also wish for greater access to your intuitive senses in order to discover something about yourself, your purpose in life or your soul mate. This conjunction also means that it’s a good time to wish for greater pride in your work and a sense of dignity about your purpose.

Tips for Making Wishes:
- The best time to make your new moon wishes is as close to the time of the new moon as possible or within 8 hours (before or after), however the opportunity period does last up to 48 hours.
- Find a quiet space to reflect on your new moon wishes and allow any hidden desires to surface through your intuition. You might be surprised at what comes up!
- WRITE DOWN your new moon wishes on paper!
- Make each wish, distinctly FEELING the feeling of each wish coming true. It is the act of feeling each wish that is needed to send the wish energy out to the universe. Remember when you made wishes as a young child on your birthday? It’s the same feeling of hope and desire that you had making wishes as a child.
- You can have up to 10 new moon wishes! Each distinct idea or ‘thing’ that you are wishing for counts as a separate wish.
- You can review your new moon wishes in 6 months, at the time of the next full moon in the same sign! See what came true or what progressed for you.
- If your wish doesn’t come true, keep wishing! There are many reasons why new moon wishes may not come true right away so don’t give up!
Remember, the universe may be bringing you a better outcome than what you can imagine.
Good luck!
