New Moon in Leo: July 24th, 2025

The world turns golden as Leo season roars into the sky from July 22nd to August 22nd. Leo is known for being bold, confident, self-assured, loving, and generous. This is the time of year when the life-giving essence of the Sun powerfully radiates in its own sign, generating an intensely potent and motivated energy for us all.

We kick off Leo season with a powerful New Moon in Leo on July 24th. A New Moon is a conjunction* that occurs when the Sun and Moon align at the same degree in the zodiac. While all New Moons offer a fresh start, the Moon in Leo specifically invites us to begin again in the name of self, joy, and authentic expression. 

Leo represents a kind of childlike joy, a nostalgic feeling from childhood, or the deep satisfaction an artist experiences upon completing a project. This is a powerful time to explore new avenues for creative self-expression. What creative endeavors have you been holding back from putting out into the world? Perhaps it's a new writing project, a room renovation, or a DIY endeavor that requires your artistic flair. This is arguably one of the best New Moons to initiate a project heavily focused on creativity and expression, with the Sun offering motivating light, creative inspiration, and the desire for your efforts to be seen and appreciated. 

Confidence is the key to success, and a Moon in Leo can certainly make us feel an urge to be the center of attention. If you want someone's attention or are seeking recognition for your efforts, this New Moon can offer a step in that direction. However, it doesn't happen all by itself. You have to be willing to do your part--and that includes being proud of who you are and what you have to offer. 

Other Planets Influencing This New Moon

New Moon in Leo Opposite Pluto in Aquarius
Pluto represents deep transformation, power dynamics, and the confronting of hidden truths. Its opposition to the Leo New Moon suggests a need to address any fears, wounds, or control issues that may be inhibiting authentic self-expression. It's the kind of planetary alignment that can make a day feel like everything is going wrong. Rather than fighting against what's out of your control, focus on making the best of the situation. While
Pluto may bring discomfort, its ultimate goal is to help us reclaim authentic power--not by controlling everything around us, but through the quiet confidence that arises when we truly know and trust ourselves.

New Moon in Leo Trine Saturn and Neptune
A trine is a harmonious aspect formed when two planets are approximately 120 degrees apart in an astrological chart. This particular trine, involving Saturn and Neptune, can soften the intensity of the Pluto opposition. It brings a sense of grounding, stability, and spiritual insight, which can help build long-term success and embrace a more spiritual perspective. Use this New Moon to dig deep and identify your motivations and triggers; this can help you understand your role in dealing with conflicts and feelings.

The New Moon As Your Spotlight

This New Moon offers a surge of fresh energy and a reboot of confidence, restoring hope to overcome whatever obstacles in your path. Leo's influence shines a spotlight on anything that leads toward authentic self-expression. Consider this New Moon to be the pep talk you've needed, hyping you up to courageously step on stage and share your true self with the world. As long as you believe in your vision, anything is possible.

Sending you love & insight throughout your week,
