The Leo New Moon: A Time for Rest, Reflection, and Rebirth
Woah — is anyone else feeling completely wiped out? Just me!?
We’ve got a New Moon in Leo arriving on July 24th, and honestly, the tiredness hit hard today. I was so looking forward to golf league — but the rain canceled it, which turned out to be perfect timing for a cozy bath and some much-needed stillness on this New Moon eve.
This New Moon carries intense, transformative energy — especially with Pluto retrograde in the mix. While Leo season usually feels bold and social, this lunation might be asking us to pause, reflect, and tend to the deeper stuff beneath the surface.
🌀 Emotional + Energetic Shifts You Might Notice
Exhaustion or burnout from processing more than usual.
Emotions bubbling up that need space to be felt.
A call for self-reflection, especially around how you express yourself.
Tension in communication or relationship dynamics.
Creative stirrings — but the kind that ask you to shed old patterns first.
✨ What This New Moon Invites:
Rest. Recharge. Reconnect. Your energy is sacred — give it the support it needs.
Express yourself boldly. Leo reminds us that being seen as we are is powerful.
Start fresh. Whether in creativity, relationships, or how you show up, this is a time for renewal.
💛 Tips for Navigating This Energy
Rest and Recharge: Give yourself permission to slow down.
Be Mindful of Communication: Check in with your emotional state before reacting.
Journaling & Meditation: Let it all out. You’ll feel clearer for it.
Embrace the Transformation: What’s coming up is guiding you into something new.
🔥 Reflection Prompt:
Where in my life am I holding back from expressing my true self — and what would it look like to step forward with more authenticity and confidence?
Final Thoughts:
This Leo New Moon is here to help you step into your power, not by doing more, but by aligning more deeply with who you really are. Take care of your nervous system. Let the insights land. And if all you did today was rest — that’s more than enough.
