New Moon in Leo 🐱 July 24, 2025
artist: Guugorou
Thursday, July 24 🌑 1:11 pm CDT
The July new moon falls in the constellation of the fiery lion. Leo speaks to our identity and sense of Self. This archetype loves design, theater, dance, art, music – all of the myriad ways that we express ourselves to the world.
The message is clear at this new moon: you’ve got to love yourself & get surrounded by people who make you feel good, people who love you too.
When creative expression is blocked, as we see in the writer with notebooks full of empty pages, or the artist wringing her hands in despair, pacing around her studio late morning, we know some aspect of Leo is blocked. A block on creativity is not to be taken lightly. It must be treated with extreme care as the frightened inner child is always found tightly wound around the creative Self, cutting off its vital air supply.
Often Leo forces us to confront a powerful anger (read: fear) within ourselves as part of this process. When we become enraged and project everything onto others, it’s clear that we haven’t worked through something.
New moons are new beginnings. The New Moon in Leo is a deep dive to the origins of our strongest emotional responses. Instead of adding layers of guilt and shame, instead of feeling like shit about ourselves and wildly pointing out all of our perceived flaws, we’re going to turn towards the pain with an understanding, listening ear. This is how to unlock the unicorn of creativity without scaring her away, deeper into the forest of Untold Pain.
The process of healing ourselves is so nuanced and individual. It is unique to who you are and it can be as private or public as you like. And it’s not a story of immediate progress, though this is hard to admit in a society obsessed with instant gratification. Be kind, gentle, and patient with yourself. The journey begins in the quiet darkness of this invisible flaming moon.
Heads up: Mercury will be retrograde in Leo ~but~ the moon herself forms a supportive fiery trine to Neptune Retrograde in Aries, indicating emotional ease. The sun also forms a double trine to both Neptune & Saturn Retrograde in Aries. Fire on fire on fire! The trine to Saturn is incredibly stabilizing. Long term plans are coming to fruition.
real self-love ~ real self-care ~ pride ~ heart ~ warmth
