Welcome to 🦁 Leo Season 🦁 and a ♌ Leo New Moon 🌑
Leo Season is about presence. This week’s New Moon is your invitation to show up louder, truer, and more unapologetically aligned with who you really are. Let yourself be seen. Let yourself lead. 🔥

The Sun enters Leo on July 22nd at 8:30 a.m. CST, igniting a season of bold expression, radiant confidence, and creative leadership. Leo energy asks us to stop shrinking and start shining and to show up like we believe in the vision we’re building.
But this year, Leo season opens with an edge. Mercury retrograde is already underway in Leo (July 17–August 11), which means the spotlight might come with a little static. Think: self-expression glitches, visibility fears, or awkward conversations that force you to clarify your message. The good news? Mercury retrograde in Leo is here to rewire your confidence from the inside out.
Instead of rushing to be loud or polished, this retrograde invites you to reconnect with your voice and speak from a place of real power and not performance.

Leo is ruled by the Sun, which means this season is all about amplification of your light, your truth, and your presence. It’s the part of the zodiac that reminds you: you were never meant to blend in. Your visibility is a gift. Let yourself be seen, celebrated, and centered.
I shine unapologetically, lead with heart, and honor my creative fire.
🌞 What Leo Season is Great For:
✅ Reconnecting with your joy, creativity, and charisma
✅ Letting your true essence take up space (online, on stage, in your biz)
✅ Refining your message so it feels bold, clear, and YOU
✅ Launching something you’re proud to put your name on
✅ Upleveling your branding, visuals, or voice
✅ Embodying the version of you that already believes it’s working
✅ Choosing self-trust over external validation
✅ Leading with warmth, play, and genuine passion
✨ A Deeper Look at This Leo New Moon

This Leo New Moon is a call to own your brilliance. Leo rules self-expression, confidence, visibility, and leadership and at 2°, this lunation is at the very start of a bold new chapter.
But don’t be fooled: while Leo is often associated with glam and grandeur, this New Moon is less about performance and more about power. Real power. Personal power. The kind that doesn’t wait for permission.
With potent aspects to Pluto, Uranus, Chiron, Saturn, and Neptune, this New Moon is lighting up both the heart and the healing. It’s asking: Can you lead from your joy, even when your wounds are whispering?
Here’s what’s shaping the energy:
🌑 New Moon opposite Pluto in Aquarius

This intense opposition digs up fear, shame, or power struggles especially around being seen or taking up space. It’s a confrontation with your own resistance: what part of you still believes you have to hide your brilliance to be safe? Pluto reveals where old dynamics need to be released so you can stand in your unapologetic authenticity.
⚡️ New Moon sextile Uranus in Gemini

Lightning bolt energy. Expect sparks of insight, rebellious clarity, or surprising shifts in how you think and communicate. Uranus cracks open stagnant patterns and invites innovation around your creative voice, offers, or brand expression. If something clicks, go with it. This aspect supports bold pivots and brave storytelling.
🩹 New Moon square Chiron in Aries

This square hits right at the heart of the visibility wound. You might feel a familiar ache around being too much, too loud, or not “ready” to lead. But here’s the truth: healing happens through action. This aspect invites you to stop waiting to be healed before you show up. Show up as the healing.
🌊 New Moon trine Saturn + Neptune in Aries

This trine brings structure and soul to your vision. Saturn offers discipline, while Neptune infuses imagination and deeper purpose. Together, they ask: What dream are you building toward? And what systems or commitments can anchor it into reality? This is a potent moment for making your inner fire sustainable AND sparkly.
🛠️ How to Work with This Moon
👉 Be the main character...without performing
This isn’t about curating a flawless image. It’s about reclaiming your full expression. Wear what lights you up. Say what you mean. Don’t just post confidently. Embody it. Your voice doesn’t need approval to be valid.
👉 Turn creative fire into an actual plan
Got a bold idea, offer, or brand shift stirring? Good. Don’t wait until it’s perfect. Write the outline. Design the teaser. Share the vibe. Progress is the flex.
👉 Rewrite your leadership story
What does leadership look like when it starts with play, joy, and trust instead of control or burnout? Let this moon help you redefine what it means to lead your way.
👉 Tend to the fear underneath the expression
If visibility feels hard, name the wound without shame. What would safety look like while also being seen? How can you self-source that instead of waiting for external reassurance?
👉 Set intentions around joy, voice, and recognition
This is a powerful moon to claim what you want to be known for. Whether in business, creativity, or community, speak it into existence. Then show up like it’s already true.
