The Leo New Moon arrives like a golden drumbeat at the center of summer—calling us back to our hearts, our joy, and our reason for being.
It’s a moment to remember that we are the artists of this life, and the cosmos has handed us a fresh canvas.
This year’s Leo New Moon is bursting with momentum and magic, forming a radiant weave of creative and soul-stirring aspects. The Sun and Moon together in Leo say: Shine. Create. Risk love. Be seen!

✨ Cosmic Weavings
🌟 Trine Saturn & Neptune in Aries
Your dreams are ready for structure. Your imagination wants action.
This aspect grounds creative vision in purposeful momentum. If you've been receiving divine downloads or dreamy inspiration, this is the time to start shaping them into reality.
🌟 Sextile Uranus (now newly in Gemini)
Uranus, just freshly awakened in Gemini, brings innovation, bright ideas, and surprise conversations.
This harmonious sextile adds spark to your intuition—flashes of brilliance may arrive like lightning. Stay open to messages that come through synchronicity and serendipity.
🌟 Opposition to Pluto in Aquarius
Here’s where it gets deep. This Moon calls you to step into your power—not the masked kind, but the soul-rooted sovereignty that shines from within.
You may feel tension between your personal creative spark and the collective’s pull for change. The key? Keep creating. Keep showing up. The world needs your authentic voice!
🌟 Novile Venus in Gemini
This subtle harmonic aspect between the New Moon and Venus offers sweetness through curiosity, play, and sacred connection.
Noviles are often linked to inner development—this one invites gentle growth in how we communicate love, beauty, and our values.
🌟 Septile Mars in Virgo + 1/16th aspect to Jupiter in Cancer
Septiles open portals of spiritual will and divine timing. Mars in Virgo wants to get things done with precision; the septile whispers: “Let it be sacred.”
Meanwhile, a subtle 1/16th aspect to Jupiter expands our hearts with quiet optimism and encourages us to nurture what truly matters.
🌞 Leo Season: Building the New World with Heart
This New Moon feels like a heartbeat of the New Earth, pulsing with creative potential. The Sun's first major aspect in Leo is a gorgeous sextile to Uranus, signaling innovation, freedom, and the joy of shaping something original.
Whether you’re a parent, a poet, a builder, or a dreamer—this is your moment to make something. Something only you can bring!

🌑 Ritual Suggestions & Reflection Prompts
Light a candle and write a letter to your Future Self.
Ask: Where am I ready to shine more fully in my life?
What creative idea keeps returning to me?
Who am I becoming when I lead with heart instead of ego?
🗺️Note that there’s a spacious window for setting your intentions—lasting until July 24th at 4:02 am PDT, when the Moon forms a harmonious sextile with Venus.
