Leo is a magnificent sign. New Moon in Leo gives us the opportunity to reclaim our creativity, to get back into the present, to be passionate and joyful about our lives, and to put ourselves fully in alignment with our purpose. This is the perfect reset button, because we are moving quickly into September, which is, numerologically speaking, the most intense month of the year. Whatever your personal theme has been this year, whatever you’ve been working on and through, will reach its crescendo next month. So take the time now to stop and catch your breath. Find your joy, your passion, because you really ought to recharge your batteries.

Ask yourself every morning for the next 14 days: “What makes my heart sing?”

The answer can change from day to day, that’s fine. But use that day’s answer as your metric for prioritizing your to do list for that day. If something doesn’t in some way bring you closer to what makes your heart sing, it’s not important. Another way of looking at it is this: if you have something you really need to get done, figure out how it brings you closer to what makes your heart sing.

You may also wish to examine what your theme has been for the year, so you are prepared for September. What have been the patterns? When you look back at 2012, what were the broad brush strokes about? What have your lessons and challenges been this year? Do your best to unravel them, so they can be resolved in September, and you can finish out the year tying up your loose ends and start 2012 with a fresh slate.
