Today’s Oracle takes us to the Leo weekly for July 28, 2006

This week’s New Moon so close to your birthday is signaling a powerful time of renewal for you, after so many months of clearing the past out of your life. You who are born this week have been living through Saturn in Leo, making a conjunction to your natal Sun, for a year. This has been a time of reckoning, clearing the past and most of all, getting to know yourself as something of an empty vessel. The New Moon in Leo is an invitation to fill that cup, pitcher or ball of light with whatever you want. Saturn almost always represents an exchange, and while you may have made sacrifices, and come to terms with the past. Circumstances have pushed you to exist as yourself in a new way. There has been a lot of give and take in the process, many exchanges with others, and potentially many activities involving sorting out what is fair — and working for it.
