New Moon in Leo

A bold new beginning

The New Moon in Leo is here, and it feels like an invitation to come back to yourself—to your heart, your joy, and the parts of you that want to shine more brightly.

Leo energy is bold, playful, creative, and deeply connected to the heart. This New Moon asks:

💛 What would it feel like to express yourself more fully?

💛 Where are you ready to choose joy over fear?

💛 How can you open your heart more deeply to life?

This New Moon carries a unique mix of energies that feel both inspiring and deeply transformative.

With the New Moon sextile Uranus in Gemini, there’s a spark of fresh ideas and unexpected inspiration, nudging you to try something new or look at things from a different perspective.

At the same time, it’s trine Saturn and Neptune in Aries, offering a beautiful balance between dreaming and doing—you may feel the whisper of a new vision emerging, along with the grounded energy to give it real shape.

But this isn’t without its deeper layers. The New Moon is opposite Pluto in Aquarius, which can stir old fears about being fully seen, raise questions around power and vulnerability, or bring up parts of yourself that you’re finally ready to shed.

Adding to this reflective tone, Mercury retrograde in Leo asks you to slow down and revisit your authentic voice, gently rewriting any old stories around confidence, creativity and self-expression with more compassion. Together, these energies make this New Moon both a catalyst for new beginnings and an opportunity to release what no longer aligns with the person you’re becoming.

There’s a feeling with this New Moon of standing on the edge of something new, teetering between excitement and vulnerability.

It’s as if you can feel the next chapter calling you, asking you to express yourself more fully, more boldly—but with that comes the familiar whisper of old fears. What if I’m not good enough? What will people think if I show up in this way? This inner tug-of-war is completely natural—it’s simply the part of you that craves safety, that wants to protect you from risk. But this New Moon is a gentle reminder that it’s safe to shine in your own way, in your own time.

You don’t have to have it all figured out. You just have to take the next true step, trusting that your light is meant to be seen.
