New Moon in Leo - August 12, 2007, 11:03 pm PDT

The new moon in Leo is the perfect time to actualize the part of you that craves the spotlight -- to be acknowledged for your own unique take on life.

We all have a secret. It's something we've always wanted to do but don't think we can. Whether it's writing a book, skydiving, or opening up to love. During this Leo new moon, it's time to risk. It's time to lay it on the line. Fear and doubt are our greatest obstacles. It's time to burn through those obstacles with vision, enthusiasm and the belief in Self.

Hand Analysis offers the perfect skill set to help support you during this high-risk time: How to Manage Your Fear of Rejection. To understand this principle, first understand the difference between fear of rejection and being rejected.

Being rejected has…
     a beginning
          a middle
               and an end.

You show up with your uniqueness, people respond with some version of “No, thank you,” and you go away having been officially rejected. It feels horrible. Then your friends come over with lots of tissues. They offer their perspectives. You share your feelings of your experience. Then, after some time, you feel better. And -- bonus -- you come out of the experience having gained wisdom.

Fear of rejection is paralyzing. It keeps you from entering the room -- or participating in your life.

What to do:

1) Recognize you are in Fear of Rejection.

2) Call a friend. Tell them you are stuck outside of the room -- just sharing your experience moves you forward.

3) Set a date to perform your scary task.

4) Just Do It!

Here’s the key: the more frequently you risk rejection, the more you see that each time is another step in deepening your creativity.

From an astrological perspective, this is an amazing Leo new moon. Saturn and Venus are sharing the exact same degree of Leo. This means that there is tremendous support at this time to commit in creativity or love or both. Pluto is also at the ascendant (the most powerful point in a horoscope), bringing the dark to light and clearing away all obstacles.

This new moon asks you to:

1) Write, speak or admit to your secret yearning to EXPRESS in some way;

2) Lovingly examine what you name as your obstacles; and

3) Commit in some small way -- even in the face of those obstacles -- to make our creative vision manifest.
