Leo New Moon August 4, 2024
The Leo New Moon kicks off a new lunar cycle, giving us fresh new energy to work with and a fresh perspective.
Leo New Moons are a time to encourage playfulness and lighten whatever is feeling heavy on our hearts. They are an opportunity to celebrate the inner light that lives within and remember that we are here to play, experience, and find joy, especially in the simple things.
The lightness of the Leo Moon is amplified this year by Jupiter, which is making a harmonious alignment and reminding us to focus on the brighter side. Jupiter is the great expander, and while the New Moon may also expand or touch on challenges that we are facing, it is likely we will see them with a silver lining or perhaps a new, broadened perspective.
The Leo New Moon Brings the Medicine We Need
Chariklo, the asteroid of Spirit Medicine is also activated under the 2024 Leo New Moon. Chariklo is known as the wife of Chiron, the asteroid of the wounded healer. She carries a very similar energy, but she reminds us to step into our healing gifts through our intuition and mother nature.
She reminds us that our “medicine” can be found not just in nature, but also deep within our hearts. She reminds us that the tonics we are searching for live within us, and can be created and cultivated by us when we dig a little deeper or choose to recognize the healing powers that live within.
Chariklo can guide us to find the perfect medicine, whether it be a drug from our doctor, a walk in nature, or a herbal medicine. Chariklo will guide us to what we need, so stay open to her messaging. If you are walking a healing journey or looking for healing answers, Chariklo will be on your side this New Moon.

Asteroid Chariklo – NASA Science
Chariklo was the first asteroid found to have a ring system. It was the fifth ring system found in our solar system—after Saturn, Jupiter, Uranus and Neptune.
With a diameter of about 188 miles (302 kilometers), Chariklo is the largest member of an asteroid class known as the Centaurs. It orbits between more than 2 billion miles away beyond the orbit of Saturn.
Chariklo’s rings were first spotted in 2013. In 2023, scientists used a new technique with NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope to capture the shadows of starlight cast by the thin rings of Chariklo. Chariklo is about ~51 times smaller than Earth in diameter, and its rings orbit at a distance of about 250 miles (400 kilometers) from the center of the body. The rings are believed to be between two and four miles (3-7 kilometers) wide.
Discovery: 10199 Chariklo was found on Feb. 15, 1997 by the Spacewatch team at the University of Arizona’s Lunar and Planetary Laboratory.
New Moon energy carries on to the 1st Quarter, August 12, 2024.

THE TRECENA OF EAGLE/MEN: ASCENDING TO A HIGHER PERSPECTIVE
MAYAN CALENDAR DAYKEEPER’S JOURNAL
10 Seed/KAN (Cherokee, Dragon/UKTE’NA O’STO), Destiny Kin 244, Position 4

10 Seed/KAN (Cherokee/Dragon/UKTE’NA) – Day 10 of 13 of the 1 Eagle/MEN trecena
Descriptions by Ian Xel Lungold (12 Sun/AHAU), wisdom and Tzolk’in calculator preserved on MayanMajix.com
Galactic Tone 10: Manifestation. What were once intentions or ideas, hopes or fears become physically present with the energy of Ten. What is focused upon with attention and intention becomes real with Ten. Ten is a powerful energy that carries a great responsibility.
Seed/KAN: Family, sexual activity and the magic of germination are the characteristics of this sun sign. Natural net workers, Seed people strive to free themselves and others from debt or oppressive patterns of the past. Abundance is gathered by Seeds as if with a cast net. Seed persons are public defenders who work toward uniting community by discovering hidden traps and secret influences of others. To generate true abundance, Seed must learn to appreciate all gifts and lessons received and conduct profound investigations into its self. In the absence of gratefulness and the courage to face oneself, Seed finds itself in less than less fertile environments.
A GOOD DAY TO: Plant, make new contacts, and reconnect with others.
Cherokee, Dragon/UKTE’NA O’STO: Dragon’s symbol is Draco winding between the Little Dipper and Big Dipper. Dragon is the Corn Spirit, symbol of dual personality of Corn Mother and Maiden. Fertility and pro-creation from generation to generation. The word dragon means ” eye, to look at, to see clearly”. Spirit brings energy of Lawgiver, Justice, vigilance and protective, loyal unto death. Ley lines in China are “dragon lines”, energy is sometimes called “orgone energy”, pyramid power or magnetic force. Pyramids and kivas are collector portals for this energy, known as vortexes. Dragon energy beats a path everywhere, stirring things up with a big stick in tune with the beat of the drum, heartbeat of the Earth.
