Healing Light

Let your inner lion roar!

I haven’t been writing in quite a while but today’s new moon marks a celestial fresh start, so I’m jumping back in. I stepped back from the keyboard in early May because it became market season and I wanted to focus on promoting my light catchers to see if there was an audience for them – turns out there is! Along with that creative endeavor, I like to embrace family time during the spring/summer season in the Midwest, getting outside when the weather is nice. I am especially glad I took that time this year in light of recent events. My family has been touched by profound loss this summer, but today’s post isn’t to explore that, instead, I want to talk about the moon.

Today, July 24, 2025, is the day of the New Moon in Leo. It will be at 0% exact at 3:11 p.m. eastern time. This is an astrologically significant event, as it marks the start of a new lunar cycle and, happening in the sign of Leo, brings a focus on self-expression, creativity, and personal power.

Here’s a breakdown of what this New Moon signifies:

• A Time for New Beginnings: New Moons are always a time for fresh starts and setting intentions. With this one in Leo, the focus is on what you want to create and manifest in your life, especially in areas of passion, love, and creativity. It’s a powerful moment to declare your intentions to the universe and begin a new chapter.
• Embracing Your Authentic Self: Leo is the sign of the Lion, and its energy encourages you to step into your spotlight and express who you truly are without apology. This New Moon is a call to be more courageous, confident, and heart-centered. It’s an opportunity to let go of self-doubt and embrace your unique fire.
• Creative Expression and Passion: This is a fantastic time to start a new creative project, pursue a passion, or simply find new ways to have fun and express yourself. The Leo energy is all about joy, play, and romance, and this New Moon is an invitation to infuse your life with more of these things.
• Facing Inner Conflicts: This New Moon forms an opposition with retrograde Pluto in Aquarius, which can bring up some intense emotions and power struggles. You might be asked to confront inner conflicts related to your self-expression, your role in a community, and the fear of not fitting in. It’s a time to be honest about the “masks” you wear for social acceptance and to find the courage to be your real self, even if it feels uncomfortable.
• Supportive Energies: Despite the intensity of the Pluto opposition, the New Moon is also supported by a trine to Saturn and Neptune, and a sextile to Uranus. This suggests that while there may be challenges, there is also an underlying sense of support for your transformative work. This is a time to build new foundations, trust your intuition, and embrace surprising shifts in your life.

How can you make the most of this New Moon in Leo energy? If you’ve read much from my blog, you may have seen posts on affirmations. I believe that an affirmations are a great way to focus your intention, as you can see read about in this earlier post Harnessing the Power of Intention. Additionally, affirmations are a powerful way to align with the energy of a stars and sky. Here’s one you can use for today’s New Moon in Leo: “I courageously step into my light, boldly expressing my authentic self with confidence and joy.”

Whether you are looking for a new start in a New direction, or in need of a spark of creativity and passion to get an existing idea off the ground, the energy of today’s new moon is here to support you. It’s time to let your inner lion roar!

Light and Love ❤
