New Moon in Leo 2025

Merry Meet and Welcome to you magickal souls!!!!

The New Moon in Leo is almost upon us!! It will reach peak energy around 24th July and its energy can be felt (and used for spellwork) the day before and the day after. This New Moon occurs while the Sun is in the sign of Leo.

The Sun actually rules the sign of Leo so the energy of the Sun, and Leo, is magnified at this time. It's the perfect time to notice how we wish to speak our truth, regardless of what thhat truth looks like. By sharing our truth, we are sharing our gift and authentic voice with the world and that, in itself, is a gift.

It wouldn't be too far-fetched if we are are considering doing work that is of service to both humanity and the world, especially if that means sharing something that only we can share. So any new ideas we may have had are perfectly timed with this New Moon in Leo to give us a helping hand towards these heartfelt projects bringing us, both individually and collectively, joy, even if we don't know what form that joy might take.

Leo is filled with courage and a sense of bravery, as well as a bit of "main character" energy. We can use the first two to take on new projects and do things that we might not have considered doing before, as well as the commitment to see them through to the end.

The Leo energy is also giving us permission to take care of ourselves, putting ourselves first, resting and pampering ourselves for at least a day or two. But self-care isn't just a one-time thing that we can do when the New Moon in Leo occurs; it should be a part of our daily routines so scheduling or blocking some time in our days for something that we do just for us is ultimately what we need to do.

We have to prioritise our self-care so that we have enough energy for everything else that we need to deal with in our lives. But yet, it's still something that we don't make time for. We forget that we are just like our technological devices that need recharging at some point during the day (sometimes several times a day).

So how does is this New Moon in Leo likely to impact our lives if we really pay attention to the energies? Well, we need to listen to our heart's calling so that we can feel which direction we should go in. We also need to find our inner spark, a theme of some of the retrogrades that are about to happen or that we are in the middle of. A third thing we should also do is to rediscover the pure childlike joy that life and its wonders can hold for us.

Let's see what this New Moon in Leo would like us to know and take action on at this time with a collective reading that has been specially created and cards pulled from the Druid Animal Oracle Deck by Philip and Stephhanie Carr-Gomm.

How can we reconnect to our hearts at this time?

Blackbird

Blackbird comes to tell us that we can reconnect to our hearts by treating it with care and the utmost respect.

The heart is an entity that we can cultivate a relationship with, just like we do with other people, deities, animals and plants. We cannot force it to relinquish its wisdom, insights and inspirations to us without a relationship at least being in the early stages of growth.

There are times when we can be too focused on the outer world and our responsibilities but we need to balance those with listening to our intuition, our inner selves, our inner-most hearts that hold healing and new depths.

Where do we most need to be brave and have courage?

Bee Reversed

The Bee comes to show us that rather than being hard-working and celebrating the honey-sweet harvests we've been working towards, it's time for us to be brave and try to find our roles and place in this world. The Bee knows where they stand as each one has a particular part to play within the hive (family/home) and the local ecology (community).

If we haven't yet found where we fit, that's okay. It just means that it might not be where we think or expect it to be. So we need to go exploring to find it, especially if it is linked to our sense of purpose and any goals we want to achieve in our lives.

So have courage and go exploring while being brave enough to try new things.

In what way can we show ourselves more respect and love?

Fire Dragon

The Fire Dragon comes to show us that respect and love can also include enthusiasm, courage, overcoming obstacles, and having the energy to deal with life's problems.

We are all dragons within us, containing an inner fire that can be directed and channelled, sometimes with laser precision, to helps us accomplish anything we set our minds, and hearts to.

But this fire can also be used to stop others and ourselves from showing us disrespect, able to ensure we have space and time to ourselves to do whatever it is that brings us pure joy and relaxation, or even the time and space to discover what those things are if we don't already know.

Where can we find more pure childlike joy around us?

Hind

The Hind comes to say that we can find more pure childlike joy around us by being more gentle, subtle and graceful. Essentially, we need to embody this animal as these are all characteristics of the Hind.

By embodying the Hind, we can become more open to noticing the pure childlikd joy that is around us because it isn't forced and no one is telling us what to notice or how to act. We can truly notice what could bring joy to us, looking at the world as if we were children to truly understand the wonder that is everywhere around us.

The Hind comes to remind us that childlike joy isn't in the material world so we need to pay attention to Other things, exploring beyond the superficial.

So the New Moon in Leo wants us to reconnect with our hearts in the most natural way possible, as if our hearts are living breathing entities separate to our minds and bodies but still connected. We are being asked to find our place in the world, to find the purpose that lights us up from within and always makes us want to get stuck into the work we are doing. Finding our passion and discovering what our boundaries are around that can only help us to show our own selves respect and love, or even giving ourselves time to find out what they are. We are also being shown that gentleness can also help us to discover the purest form of joy: that of childlike wonder.

I hope this has been helpful as a look-ahead at the energies swirling around at this time. If you'd like a more personal look at how you can make use of this New Moon in Leo, my diary and inbox are open.

Peace and love to all!!!!
