Power

The Ritualist by Deborah Singletary

New Moon | July 24, 2025 | 2 Leo 8’

All activities are spiritual. All forces and activities are transmutations and conversions of the One Conscious Energy. The One Conscious Energy is aware of itself. It knows itself and this is reflected in the sign Aquarius. Aquarius' keywords are, “I know.” I know everything, the heavens and the earth. I know that as it is above, so it is below. When below is disconnected from above, chaos ensues.

We live in a world of chaos, partly because in the part called "below" we experience ourselves as cut off from that which is above. The word "above" symbolizes the higher or super-conscious realm considered by many to be Divine. When we experience ourselves as connected with above, we can make order, harmony, and meaning out of the circumstances of our lives.

The Sun and Moon together in Leo form the New Moon and are opposite Pluto in Aquarius. This aspect denotes that many of us are polarized in a divide where we are separated from our true power. This New Moon gives us a great opportunity to bridge the divide that has us separated from our own power and seemingly at the whim and will of despots.

The One Conscious Energy, which could be called God or the Universe, presents itself in a trinity of planets that we call Higher Octaves. They are the planets that could not be seen by the ancients, and the planets that seem to signify world events and generational tendencies or collective experiences.

Collectively and individually, we have an opportunity to awaken—to become more aware that we are free even when it doesn't look like it. We have the ability to fire up the higher power of universal love to dissolve boundaries and limitations that make us feel like helpless victims. Universal love is an unconditional regard for all beings—humans, animals, nature, and existence—beyond individual relationships or actions. Universal love is not agreement or expressed with emotions but is a mindfulness of the "above" about which we might be unconscious.

We keep hearing how divided we are.

The real division exists in us being divided from our higher power. It is this inner separation that causes us to perceive that we are living under the threat of annihilation by evil forces.

Practicum

Ponder this: “You have power over your mind — not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.” — Marcus Aurelius

This New Moon in Leo sextile Uranus in Gemini signifies “Free your mind, and the rest will follow.” – En Vogue.

Notice when you are in a negative head space regardless of how true the irritants might seem to be. Take three slow, conscious breaths. Notice you cannot be in neg head when breathing consciously. Awareness is a primary step in freeing your mind.
