The New Moon in Leo on 24 July is your cosmic permission slip to take up space, shine your light, and live with a little more heart, drama, and creative flair.
What Does the New Moon in Leo Bring?
Leo is bold, expressive, warm, and unapologetically itself so when the Moon renews herself in this fiery sign, she sparks a new beginning in confidence, courage, and self-expression. This is a time to rediscover what makes you you: the truest, most vibrant version. The Leo New Moon asks: What would your life look like if you led with your heart?
A Fresh Start for Self-Belief
Each New Moon brings a chance to reset and begin again. In Leo, this reset comes with a burst of life force. This is because the Sun rules Leo, making this New Moon solar-powered. She energises your spirit, revives your confidence, and reminds you that you’re allowed to want things AND to go after them with passion!
Leo doesn’t hold back. It doesn’t apologise for taking centre stage. And this New Moon encourages you to stop dimming your own light.
Ask yourself:
- Where have I been playing small?
- What gifts or talents am I ready to share?
- What does my heart really want right now?
Whether it’s a creative dream, a romantic spark, or the desire to be seen more authentically, this New Moon opens the door to self-empowerment.
Leo Energy: Bold, Creative, Heart-Centred
Leo rules the heart — both literally and symbolically — and this lunation brings emotional renewal from the inside out. It’s not about superficial attention or approval. It’s about acting from a place of joy, love, and authenticity.
Leo energy is often misunderstood as just theatrical or attention-seeking. In truth, Leo is generous, loyal, and courageous. It wants to inspire others by living fully and unapologetically. Under this New Moon, you’re being asked to do the same. That is to live from your core, not from your conditioning.
This is an ideal time to:
- Launch creative projects
- Reinvent your personal style or image
- Start something that brings you joy
- Step into a leadership role
- Say yes to love or passion
Whatever you begin under this Moon, let it come from your heart, not your head.
Themes to Reflect On
This Leo New Moon calls for emotional honesty and soulful courage. She reminds you that when you honour who you truly are, you give others permission to do the same. And if you’ve been shrinking, hiding, or second-guessing your worth, this is the time to come roaring back.
Themes to explore include:
- Creative self-expression: What’s waiting to be created, shared, or performed?
- Confidence and visibility: Are you afraid to be seen? Where could you show up more fully?
- Joy and play: What makes you feel most alive?
- The inner child: Does a younger part of you need recognition, fun, or praise?
This is a beautiful time to reconnect with what excites you. Not because it’s productive or impressive, but because it feeds your soul.
Leo New Moon Ritual Ideas
To align with the bold and heart-led energy of this Leo New Moon, try one or more of the following:
1. Create a Joy List
Write down 10 things that light you up. Then commit to doing at least one each week. Joy is not frivolous. It’s fuel.
2. Light a Gold Candle and Set an Intention
Leo is ruled by the Sun, so gold and yellow are potent colours for this Moon. Light a candle and speak your intention out loud with confidence and heart.
3. Write a Love Letter to Yourself
Include every little thing you appreciate about who you are: your talents, quirks, passions, and triumphs. Let your heart do the talking.
4. Vision Board Your Boldest Dream
Cut, paste, draw, or collage images that represent the life your heart truly wants to lead. Don’t hold back because this Moon favours the brave.
5. Dance, Sing, or Perform
Channel the Leo energy through your body and voice. Let yourself be dramatic. Expressive. Free. You don’t need an audience, you just need permission.
This New Moon in Leo is a powerful reset for your sense of identity, confidence, and creative fire. It’s time to stop hiding your magic and start living more like the star of your own life. That doesn’t mean being loud or flashy. It means being true. This is because when you live from the heart, you naturally radiate the light you were born to shine.
Leo reminds you that you don’t need to be perfect. You just need to be real, passionate, and brave enough to take up space.
So go ahead. Begin again. Start something bold. Create with your whole heart.
And above all LET YOURSELF SHINE!
