Revealing Our Inner Light
New Moon in Leo
July 24, 2025
The New Moon in Leo is a call to step out of the shadows and project our authority, inner confidence, and charisma. Because Leo is a heart-centered sign, we are to lead from a place of love, courage, and warmth. The spirit of this energy is creative, playful, and joyous. It revitalizes us. Leo also asks us to shine and to spread that light to others. It can illuminate strengths we didn’t know we have. Above all, Leo energy supports us as we project a compelling presence that cannot be ignored.
Aspects to this New Moon
Moon conjunct (merges with) Sun in Leo
All New Moons are in conjunction with the Sun. This classic alignment unites conscious will (Sun) and subconscious needs (Moon). In Leo, this energy is magnified—calling us to realign inner gifts with our outer selves. We’re supported in examining where we have dulled our inner light just to be accepted by others. The energy of this Moon offers us the courage to imagine what it would be like to show up fully in the world. This is a time to plant seeds for visibility, authenticity, and creative renewal.
Moon trine (harmonizes with) Saturn retrograde in Aries
Saturn’s energy is concerned with responsibility, limits, structure, discipline, and authority. In retrograde, Saturn is calling us to look at these qualities within ourselves. We’re prompted to consider whether we are taking responsibility for living our soulful purpose or allowing others to dictate how we conduct our lives. Saturn in Aries energy is pushing us to reveal ourselves and blaze our own trail, unencumbered by the limits established by outer influences. Whatever our heartfelt vision of our lives is, this aspect will provide structure, commitment, and clarity to pursue it. The Lion’s courage will help us take the steps that are needed.
Moon Trine (harmonizes with) Neptune retrograde in Aries
Neptune supports mystical connection. We may confidently place our trust in the gut feelings we experience. Our spiritual guidance and intuition are heightened. The path we choose, the way we want to be seen, the presence we project are soul-guided. We’re asked to let our spiritual essence infuse our work.
Moon Opposition (needs to be balanced with) Pluto retrograde in Aquarius
Whatever power we have suppressed and hidden within us needs to be brought forth for the greater good of society. We need to reclaim our authentic selves. Internal and external power struggles, identity shifts, and shadow material may rise. It’s potentially an emotionally rocky road. You may feel the tension between needing to be seen and fearing rejection or control. This is the moment to shed the costume of an outworn identity, claim our authority, and express the truth of our souls.
This Leo New Moon asks us to be real. Applause is appreciated but this Moon cares about the flame in our chest. Let’s let ourselves shine—not for approval, but because we were born to. This is our time to step into divine authorship of our life stories.
Questions for reflection:
Where am I afraid to be fully seen?
How has my creative self-expression been dampened?
What power am I reclaiming now?
How can I anchor joy and freedom in tangible actions?
How can I be true to the flame in my chest?
