The New Moon in Leo this month offers a powerful opportunity to plant new seeds of inspiration and intention. As we embark on this new lunar cycle, it’s helpful to understand how these energies influence our unique birth charts and how we can harness them to manifest our heart’s desires.
Leo’s Energy: Expressing the Heart’s Desires
Leo, the sign of the Lion, invites us to express our deepest desires with passion and authenticity. From an evolutionary astrology perspective, Leo challenges us to cultivate the courage to be vulnerable, allowing us to connect with others on a profound level. This energy isn’t about mere performance; it’s about genuine expression that comes from the heart. A wide open and vulnerable heart.
True Leo energy teaches us that soul satisfaction and an adoring audience come from expressing our full, vulnerable selves, not just putting on a show. This New Moon encourages us to embrace this lesson and reflect on how we can embody the courageous and generous spirit of Leo.
Higher and Lower Expression Potentials
Leo’s energy can manifest in both secure and insecure ways. When expressed healthily, Leo brings a lust for life, enthusiastic self-expression, and a big-hearted nature. It’s about being generous and vulnerable simultaneously. But on the other end of the spectrum of potentials, when expressed from an insecure place, Leo energy can become prideful, arrogant, and overly dramatic, focusing only on superficial interactions.
By mindfully harnessing the powerful energies of this New Moon, we can boldly and exuberantly plant new seeds of intention that invite the courage to be vulnerable.
So how do we do that?

Ohhh, what a beautiful world that would be! The more of us who do this simple, conscious work, the closer and closer we’ll get to its manifestation…
And this is the invitation of the New Moon in Leo—to step into our true selves, to roar with the authenticity of the Lion, and to inspire others to do the same. Let’s make this vision a reality, starting with our own hearts and lives.
