The New Moon promises the return of the lost light, while adorning its avatars in royal mantles and arming them with a quiver of striking magical arrows. These arrows aren’t gunfire. Instead, they dispel evil spells, causing a reverse metamorphosis, defending a noble cause, or achieving reconciliation. The New Moon spirit supports those virtuously ambitious and, it’s better to take dharma’s side while acting on your own conscience. One should not exploit one’s position to take advantage of others; it is worth showing magnanimity and moral rectitude. You’ll get a chance to win recognition, a standing ovation, to consolidate influence, to attend festivals, concerts, or make a solemn vow. However, the boastful, and those who push others away to climb the ladder, will face the rebuff from protesters and confrontation from rivals. A wedding banquet or a jolly feast may be crashed by a “horse” – who does NOT agree – or an uninvited Diogenes – who spits on the ceremonial floor, which has been polished to a shine. One should abstain from excessive celebratory libation, as the heart and blood vessels are at risk. This New Moon, especially from July 23 when the Sun enters the sign of Leo, will escalate turf wars between rival clans and groups. However, an eminent representative from a dynasty may lose their honor or even be thrown off from the race track by a tragic incident or assassination. While in the proximity of the solar eclipse on August 12, the New Moon (nearing the eclipse) may stir up political changes, igniting expansions, coups, and demonstrations, as well as mafia showdowns. Around July 19-29 arsons, terrorist attacks, and explosions are not excluded. The spirit of the New Moon brings a zigzag to the relationship: arguments, domestic nuisances, or brief flings. Colleagues, neighbours, and staff can be petty and scheming. As the saying goes, "You can't stop someone from living the high life, but you can definitely make it difficult." You should approach love, studies, and routine duties with your utmost honesty, discretion, and pragmaticism; otherwise, your energies will spread too thin. Even if you perform your duties with remarkable diligence, this does not negate volatile and inconsistent actions of others. Mind that your idols, gurus, bosses, and benefactors are prone to bias, capable of bestowing both encouragement and wrath.
