Are You Ready for a Creative New Beginning?

We’re moving into a new moon phase tomorrow – which might stir a strong desire for creative change or a new creative direction. It may even bring an awareness that NOW is the time to seed what might be necessary for a personal or professional transformation.
 
This particular new moon highlights the Leo qualities of self-expression, creativity, courage, confidence, and authentic visibility – while shining a light on certain life themes involving creative projects, fun and pleasure, children, and the inner child.
 
As we settle into the last full month of summer, you may feel a slight nudging toward something you might want to start in the fall – something that has a more joyful and playful energy to it.
 
It’s a good time now, in the playful season of summer, to begin to put the intention out there – to say to the universe, “Yes, I am ready for this change and I am open to approaching it from a more creative and playful direction!
 
Where in your life do you desire a creative new start? Where in your life do you need more courage and confidence?
 
 
This Leo New Moon challenges you to “Ask for what you want – and be prepared to get it.”

Many times, all we need is a refresh – and not an overhaul.
 
As author and motivational speaker Tony Robbins says, “The defining factor for success is never resources – it’s resourcefulness.”
 
 
How creative are you with the resources you already have?
