A heart-centred New Moon is being seeded on 24 July at 2 degrees and 08 minutes of passionate and expressive Leo. The new moon in Leo is -technically- just for one day, but it gives off some serious energy that can impact you going forward. This is the New Moon we have been waiting for. It symbolises heartfelt self-expression, inner confidence, unique creativity and expanded growth.
The New Moon in Leo offers an opportunity to take a chance and reveal yourself once again with a new foundation of love and complete acceptance of yourself. As you commit to accepting yourself, no matter what unfolds, give yourself permission to reach your potential and take risks needed to align with your most brilliant self.
The New Moon in Leo is an excellent time for formulating goals regarding “all things Leo.” For example, you might concentrate on new ways to enhance our romantic life, creative endeavours and hobbies, and relationship with children, as well as build your self-confidence and healthy pride in yourselves.
Sol – the Sun – is at home in his kingdom of Leo. Here, he’s able to truly tap into the Soul and bring forth the creative gifts that reside within. Self- confidence is the hallmark of the sign. Leo never shies away from the limelight and proudly leads, trusting in their innate ability to overcome any challenge.
First up: love. Putting romance front and centre for a bit will make you realise how good it feels to get out there and let other people shower you with good vibes. And once you see how much you and your partner benefit from making a point to appreciate each other, you’ll start doing more little things to keep that lovely feeling going. Maybe you’ll go out of your way to surprise them with their favourite ice cream, or dole out back rubs more than usual. Whatever you do, putting a little more effort into the day-to-day will only benefit you—and your relationship—in the long run.
And, on the career front, you’ll realise how much you benefit when you make some ballsier moves. Sure, you won’t get whatever you want every time, but the more you push your career forward, the more you’ll succeed.
As a sign, Leo is naturally fun-loving, as it rules all things related to the heart like love, romance, creativity, and all of your passions. That said, Leo season, which connects you with your inner child, offers you an extra playful perspective on serious matters. It also inspires you to put on your armour in the face of adversity. With the fire sign targeting all of your pleasures, the new moon in Leo is a great time to revel in your passions and get lost in your preferred crafts.
Some of Leo’s lessons involve taking pride in ourselves as unique individuals, assuming responsibility for our lives, and giving ourselves warmly and generously to others. This New Moon period is an excellent time to meditate upon some of the characteristics of Leo. Keywords for this self-expressive Fire sign — such things as proud, noble, generous, hospitable, caring, warm, authoritative, active, and open — are traits that we might enhance, develop, and incorporate into our personalities.
We all have Leo somewhere in our charts. Seek the coming month to improve those areas of life. It’s time to awaken our “inner child” and find ways to express ourselves creatively. With this potent Leo energy, we can make significant changes in our lives that will benefit us well beyond this Moon cycle. It’s time to make some plans and set the stage for reaping the rewards from our new beginnings, as little or big as they may be, approximately two weeks after the Full Moon occurs.
Leo happens to rule the heart, so any new beginnings we embark upon need to come straight from this place. Being authentic will help us to ask for what we want, especially when it comes to love and romance. We may need to first cultivate a stronger relationship with Self, and from there, trust that everything will flow. After all, this is the place that we always have to start if we wish to be able to gracefully receive the Love of another. Single or coupled-up, this lunation may offer you the chance of starting over, starting a family, making a home together or simply relating more from the heart.
Leo New Moon vs. Retrograde Pluto: Reclaim Your Power from the Shadows
The upcoming New Moon in Leo, closely opposing retrograde Pluto, marks a powerful astrological moment. Leo, a sign of self-expression, confidence, and personal power, is amplified by the New Moon's emphasis on new beginnings and setting intentions. However, the exact opposition to retrograde Pluto brings a profound challenge.
Pluto, in its retrograde motion, urges us to delve into our subconscious, confront hidden fears, and undergo deep transformation. This opposition creates a potent tension between our desire for individual recognition and the need to release old patterns that hinder true empowerment. It's a call to examine where we might be holding onto control or resisting necessary change in our lives, particularly in how we express our authentic selves.
This isn't a time for superficial displays; instead, it's an invitation to reclaim our power from the shadows. We may face intense emotional experiences or power dynamics that force us to re-evaluate our deepest motivations. While uncomfortable, this aspect offers a unique opportunity for profound psychological insight and a radical rebirth of our creative potential, aligning our personal will with a larger, more authentic vision.
Follow your passions down new paths, Aries by not undermining your ability to be creative. The new moon in Leo is helping you unlock your most ambitious passion! Just like Leo, you’re bold and a force to be reckoned with, so you’ll feel especially elevated during this lunation. You are naturally creative, and people can easily recognise your talents. The key for you bringing your next best piece into the world is to not think about it. Release the outcome, let go of how you’re going to create your dreams, and just do it.
