🌑 New Moon in Leo: The Radiance Within 🦁
For the bold-hearted dreamers, the creators, the ones learning to take up space again.
Hi loves,
The New Moon in Leo arrives today beckoning us to step forward with whole hearted presence. This lunation is an invitation to reconnect with your joy, your creativity, your truth, and to let it be seen.
Leo energy teaches us that creative expression is not a luxury, it’s an essential life force! It’s not about being the loudest or the flashiest. It’s about being REAL. Honest. Lit up from within. When we share from that place, unfiltered, imperfect, radiant, we give others permission to do the same.
But here’s the thing: letting yourself be seen can feel tender. Especially if you’ve been told you’re too much. Or not enough. Or only lovable when you’re quiet, agreeable, or useful.
This moon wants to help you burn through all of that.
This is a portal to name what you want. To admit what lights you up. To begin again…with heart.

🕯 Ways to Work with the New Moon in Leo
If you’re feeling called to honor this lunation, here are a few ideas to co-create with the Leo energy:
🌻 Make something just for the joy of it.
Paint. Sing. Dance in your kitchen. Write a love letter to yourself. Let go of the outcome and let your soul speak.
🪞 Do a mirror spell.
Stand in front of a mirror, look into your own eyes, and say kind, affirming things to yourself. “I am worthy of being seen. I am allowed to shine. I trust my magic.” Say it until you feel it.
📸 Let yourself be seen.
Post the selfie. Share your art. Start the thing. Be brave enough to show the world who you are on your terms.
🔥 Candle ritual for confidence.
Anoint a yellow or orange candle with cinnamon or solar herbs. As it burns, speak aloud the version of you you’re ready to embody. Let the flame be your mirror.
🎶 Create a Leo Season soundtrack.
Play songs that make you feel alive, powerful, magnetic. I also think it’s fun to add songs from a younger time in your life. It’s very inner child/ inner teen healing activation! (Need recs? Listen to mine!)
💌 Journal Prompts
What would I do if I didn’t care what anyone thought?
Where have I been hiding out of fear of being “too much”?
What does confidence feel like in my body?
What part of me is hungry for expression?
This moon is simply asking for your presence. For the courage to follow what lights you up. For the willingness to share your joy like it’s medicine. (Because it is my angel!)
So here’s your permission slip, if you need one:
✨ You’re allowed to take up space.
✨ You’re allowed to want what you want.
✨ You’re allowed to create because it makes you feel alive.
✨ You’re allowed to shine.
I love watching you light up! Thanks for sharing your beautiful energy with me 🧡
With love & magic,
Sarah
