Huge waves are sculpted in this two-lobed nebula some 3000 light-years away in the constellation of Sagittarius. This warm planetary nebula harbours one of the hottest stars known and its powerful stellar winds generate waves 100 billion kilometres high. The waves are caused by supersonic shocks, formed when the local gas is compressed and heated in front of the rapidly expanding lobes. The atoms caught in the shock emit the spectacular radiation seen in this image.

All eyes on the romantic prize as the Moon moves into passionate Leo today! We’re motivated to launch ourselves into the next chapter of our love lives and current cosmic conditions are perfect for it at this moment! New Moons are the best times to begin new adventures and make big plans for the future. Initiating action will feel right and we’ll be able to make quick progress toward our passionate goals, but only if we focus and follow through on what our hearts are hungry for right now.

Aries (March 21st – April 19th)

You’re feeling so sexy and spontaneous today while the loving Leo New Moon buzzes around in your 5th House of Romance. A long-term romance will be reinvigorated or a new love connection will become more intense. Whatever happens, you’re in for sweet and magical experience, especially if you’re willing to shoo away the little fears that keep you from your passionate potential right now. Focus on your covetous heart and follow its spirited signals: It will not lead you astray.

Taurus (April 20th – May 20th)

Even though the proactive Leo New Moon is traveling through your 4th House of Domestic Conditions today, chores and obligations on the home front aren’t exactly your biggest cosmic assignments at this time. Instead, you’re being given a big opportunity to embrace the most romantic joy that you can, and the more fun and playful you are the better. Sharing brilliant moments with the one you love is as important as anything on your urgent to-do list right now.

Gemini (May 21st – June 20th)

Even if you get your message of love through to your sweetheart today, it’s important to follow through on it or you’ll lose your momentum. Thankfully, the enthusiastic Leo New Moon is dancing through your 3rd House of Communication right now, giving you an extra dose of intensity anytime you utter a word. Make sure to keep your promises once you make them, because if you’re not true to your word, you will not only disappoint the one you love, you’ll disappoint yourself.

Cancer (June 21st – July 22nd)

You’re so regularly supportive of the one you love that they may not always remember to reciprocate or show gratitude. Today, however, the energy will shift as the appreciative Leo New Moon moves into your 2nd House of Self-Worth, reminding you that there’s nothing wrong with asking for the recognition that you deserve. It’s not that you do what you do for the glory, but you’ll be more inclined to continue your efforts if you know your sweetheart truly appreciates them.

Leo (July 23rd – August 22nd)

It’s time to start something big in the romance department. This may mean amping up a fresh chapter in an established relationship, or it may mean taking a risk and telling the object of your affections how you really feel about them. The proactive New Moon joins muscular Mars in your dignified sign, inspiring you to take the first step in a brand new direction. Your love life can now experience one of the biggest journeys of your passionate life, as long as you don’t shy away from an adventure of the heart right now.

Virgo (August 23rd – September 22nd)

Even though this is supposed to be a relaxed time of year, you may be feeling some romantic angst because of the vibrant Leo New Moon cowering in your 12th House of Privacy today. You’re worried about feeling emotionally vulnerable with your lover right now, especially if you’re not going to be able to hide your passionate heart from them at this moment. Some of you may also be feeling anxious for other relationship reasons, and this may be draining your energy in a big way. Luckily, letting go of the petty stuff and embracing what makes your heart sing will sort you right out. You have a choice in the matter.

Libra (September 23rd – October 21st)

Your schedule sure is complicated while the vivacious Leo New Moon amps up your 11th House of Friends and Wishes today. You’re trying hard to fit in some lighthearted, romantic action into your busy day, but if you’ve committed to more than you can accomplish in one day, this will bum you out. Luckily, you have every chance in the world to get through your most important tasks early so that you could embrace a tempting opportunity for fun with the one you love right now. Don’t let magic pass you by.

Scorpio (October 22nd – November 21st)

Today’s simmering Leo New Moon heats up your 10th House of Public Life, tempting you to overreact if you’re not getting enough passionate privacy with your paramour at this moment. You may overreact or start making big changes but taking action will usually serve you better when you’re in a totally positive mood, or you may do something overly aggressive to get your way. The spotlight isn’t always easy to handle, and what you do next will have a big impact on matters of the heart.

Sagittarius (November 22nd – December 21st)

You’re surfing a wave of optimism that’s directly related to how you feel about your big, beautiful, romantic world today. The dramatic Leo Moon’s arrival in your 9th House of Big Ideas feels absolutely wonderful, unless of course you’re focused on your relationship fears, and then you may have to grapple with some lingering self-doubt. Having a heart-to-heart conversation with the one you love will help you figure out what you need to keep quiet about, and what you can shout about from the rooftops.

Capricorn (December 22nd – January 19th)

Even though you think you personally hold the answer to your questions related to a love relationship situation right now, the Leo New Moon in your 8th House of Shared Resources reminds you that your significant other’s input counts in a big way also. The best strategy is where you collaborate with the one you love, because after all, a true-blue love connection requires that you both remain equally involved and invested in your partnership’s passionate quest right now.

Aquarius (January 20th – February 18th)

You’re getting some major signals from someone in your love life at this moment, but you’re not sure why you’re also getting some red flags today. The dramatic Leo New Moon energizes your 7th House of Companions making you feel pressure to respond to this situation. Chances are that this person is probably feeling awkward about fessing up to their attraction toward you; there’s no reason to respond to these passion-filled, intense vibes just yet, at least until you’re sure of how you feel about them right now.

Pisces (February 19th – March 20th)

It’s never fun when you want your significant other to really hear what you’re trying to say but soon realize they’re not paying much attention to your passionate words. With the exaggerating Leo New Moon rousing the energy in your 6th House of Details, it may not be wise to try to force the one you love into focusing on you because they may misinterpret your motivation or think you’re just an egomaniac. Calming down your energy and thinking twice before demanding acknowledgment will ultimately work in your favor in matters of the heart. A less dramatic approach will bring results.
