New Moon
New Moon in Leo
A New Moon in Leo is when the Sun and Moon meet in Leo, opening a fresh cycle around creativity, joy, and self-expression.
Modern
The New Moon is the dark, seed moment of the lunar cycle, when the Moon catches the Sun and the slate feels clean. In Leo, that fresh start warms up the part of life that wants to shine: your creativity, your play, and the things you make simply because they delight you. It is a generous time to set an intention around expressing yourself, whether that is a creative project, a hobby you have shelved, or letting yourself be seen a little more. Leo loves a heartfelt beginning, so choose something that genuinely lights you up. The aim is real joy and pride in your own work, not applause for its own sake.
