New Moon in Leo Horoscopes

The New Moon in Leo is always a boost to creativity. However, sometimes we come up with concepts that may be brilliant, but we lack the follow-through to make them real.

The New Moon in Leo on August 17, 2012 is different, though, because active Mars and committed Saturn form favorable 60-degree sextiles to this Sun-Moon conjunction. Connection with the right partners and plenty of patience and persistence could make dreams come true.
