Lights Out. bring sparklers.

This Leo New Moon has a twinkle in its eye. It’s an invitation to slow down and lighten up. This is the fresh start that comes from trying something new, just for the fun of it. Like a disco ball in a dark room, there’s sparkle in the shadows.

A creative or relationship breakthrough that came earlier in the week might be cause for a private toast or a dance party in the living room. Put down the phone and find new life. A lively, even raucous, mood might sneak up on you in the sliver of light in the sky next week.

We’re also on the cusp of a Mercury Retrograde, the season of corrections and reversals, of tying up loose ends and uncovering new facets of self. Try not to panic. Whatever snafus or breakdowns emerge are likely to resolve relatively painlessly.
