People are apt to get lost in romantic fantasies and want everything to be perfect without putting in the actual work to make it happen. Venus loves beautiful things and so poetry, music, and art become more present in our lives. In general seek to have more peace, harmony, and cooperation in their lives.

With the new moon in your 10th house, your career is highlighted and there is the possibility of advancement, a change in life direction, or important business with your boss, mentor, or parents. A Raise or promotion is possible.

Aspects

We would also look at the aspect between the New Moon in 16° Leo and other planets in your chart. For example, in my own chart the New Moon at 16° Leo is applying a trine to my natal Chiron at 12° Aries. Under this aspect your emotional wounds and efforts to heal them attract the attention and interest of those who appreciate you and can learn from your spiritual journey.
