ASTRO: NEW MOON IN REGAL LEO

ASTRO NEW MOON LEO

25 JULY 2025 @20:11 GMT

All Hail & Welcome to Astro: New Moon in Leo.

We are entering the Lionsgate portal with its transformative energies bursting to offer us so much in terms of divine communication & change. Are you in the right head & heartspace to receive that which the universe is reaching out to endow you with? We have reached a potent time of our turning wheel, in which harvest time is almost upon us. Lammas & the beginnings of August place us firmly into a time where the bough is heavily laden with fruits of the Mother Earth, who revels in the glory of her fecundity & in the full potency of the Sun. The Sun is in recession, but only just, & this month it is still a potent force of effect. Some trees are already showing signs of turning as we rotate our way through the seasonal changes which, if we are in tune to them, will affect our lives also. Our seeds are coming to fruit & what was sown earlier in the year will now be ripening for the harvest. ‘You reap what you sow’ is always on my mind at this time of year & what a year it has been so far! Now is the time to learn from mistakes or that which did not work out so well, & to share the knowledge of what we have gleaned from our hard work and service. But before we do, there is one more blast of solar energy in Leo to be had.

Our beautiful celestial conduit will be entering its dark & new phase over the next week. The balsamic/ dark moon phase has an astonishing energy of its own. As in wintertime, mother nature retreats to her cavern to embark on inner workings & journeying, so does the moon have a rest period, as do we, And so it is! This is the phase of the crone & a time of transition & wisdom in the darkness of our cavern wombspace.  A time of thinking & practice, utilising our intuition & farseeing abilities.

As we transition to new moon & that beautiful silver slither in the sky, we become more aware of that which we wish to see to fruition, that which we have been given a vision of, our beckoning destined path to journey. This is a good time for preparation, initiating ideas or preparing improved plans to move forward with. New moon is the end of one lunar cycle & the beginning of a new 28 day cycling.

In this cavern-space, we have discovered our personal truths & now in newness, it is time to act on this knowledge, feeling, intuitive blast! We may be feeling the blasts of intuition & vivid dreams more intensely with new moon Leo & Lionsgate portal.

Leo moon is a highly creative & extremely powerful moon. This is a good time for all things Leo such as improving our relationships with our lovers, our hobbies, relationships with children, creative ventures & building our self confidence. Leo encourages the ‘inner child’ within us to reactivate & for us to have fun, laugh & play in a carefree way. So now is the best time for time off or a holiday or to begin new creative projects which help us to believe in ourselves & our abilities to achieve happiness in our lives.

It is time for us to give ourselves a pat on the back for all our hard work, by taking some pride in ourselves. Learning our lessons & moving on with love in our hearts is also on the cards. Leo is a heartspace sign, so has a huge amount of love to give, but Leo can also be offended easily. Its a good idea to stay away from ego centred anything at this time. As we are on a regal journeying with the zodiac’s drama queen, it is perhaps a good idea to keep our own ego in check. Leo is all about the self, ‘me’ whilst amplifying ego & pride. We may find an overpowering urge to express ourselves without restriction, so watch for this dominant energy in group settings as it serves only the one & not the many. Think before you let loose the Queen! Leo has fabulous energies to work with & as always a facet which is not so great, so its always good to find the balance which shouldn’t be so hard with Sun & Moon together in Leo. Positives are courage, kindness, generosity, loyalty, protection, no bars honesty! Entertainment, passion, romance, expression & playfulness are all Leo aspects we can & should revel in. However, its always good to be on the lookout for the negative traits, so as to find the balance needed for a smoother journeying. Leo can be arrogant, wasteful, cold hearted, jealous, dramatic, proud, sloppy & aggressive. So if you recognise these aspects in a situation, know that the balance needs to be found or a bumpy journey will lie ahead. Find the Leo confidence & happiness & you will love Leo season even more!

In this Leo New Moon instance, we are being encouraged to use Leo energy to connect to inner courage,  higher self aspects & power up our intentions to create a better life for ourselves. Leo energy encourages us to step up into leadership mode & to own our sovereignty. In this case a good idea to retake control of what’s happening in our personal arena’s. What kind of life do we wish to create for ourselves in which we thrive? Sit with this question & allow your heart to answer. Now is the time to throw it out to the universe for manifestation. As the rhyme goes, Think, feel it, put it into motion! This is a really good time to find that inner fire that Leo proudly offers us as we reignite our creative energy by honouring our wholeness.

Time to retake our sovereignty back in areas we feel most like we have either lost or given our power over to another source.

Lionsgate portal is activated when the star Sirius, rises. Many of our ancestors tracked this phenomenon & considered Sirius our spiritual Sun. It was believed an intense portal of change, rebirth, spiritual progression & abundance, allowing movement into a higher state of consciousness. This event is so close to Leo New Moon which is laden with huge magical potential. In addition, it falls on the date 8/8 which is the number representing infinity, in numerology. So, we can see that so many portents have been read to explain the invigorating energy of this particular cosmic event. It is hard to ignore the intensity building as we approach this peak energetic vibration.

As ever there are some other aspects to consider. Planets make aspects to the luminaries & depending on which angle they take, could have a significant effect on our experiences.

PLANETARY INFLUENCES

There has been a lot of movement in the prior stages before we reach New Moon. Many planets are making themselves known in readiness for this time of year. Big movers & shakers are shimmying up to each other & creating noise which could have an impact on our daily lives. What follows is a few of these aspects.

18th July Mercury in Leo goes retrograde - we all know (& love or not!) this aspect as we tend to find difficulty with computers, electronics, communication, travel & learning at this time. Be mindful of making business, or otherwise, decisions which involve signing any contracts. This aspect during Leo season activates creative expressiveness & heart-centred communications. So there will be passionate, powerful statements involved in communication. You'll want to be seen & heard with your bold roar, but its not about shouting the loudest, its about remembering who you are & what you stand for, your personal integrity.

Venus, Mars & North Node square up for karmic whisperings, which could involve some heated discussions leading to intuitive developments. Be mindful of your own sovereignty, using honour & honesty over power will enhance chances of a good outcome.

Sun & New Moon Trine Saturn & Neptune - brings about a fresh outlook on the life you live & the dreams you wish to bring to fruition. This aspect brings our attention to the framework which needs to be put in place to support our foundations. I'm talking ideas & dreams to reality based on hard work & the correct way to find & create the support needed. In addition, the boundaries of our ideas & how these will also help the foundation we have or are going to structure for success.

25th July; the day after New Moon; Sun & Moon oppose transformative Pluto - helping us to rid ourselves of what no longer serves & shred the old for something more tangible.

And so, we come to the end of this Astro article, New Moon in Leo. I hope you’ve enjoyed the journeying & wish you well for the coming couple of weeks. Please join me again, for Astro Full Moon on or around 9 August, where we will journey into the cosmic energies to discover what’s on offer to us for the rest of the month.

Until we meet again, I wish you the most creative & adventurous couple of weeks.

In Gratitude, love, light & all betwixt
