New Moon in Leo - Power, Pride, and Creative Expression
This New Moon In Leo is calling us to look deeply at patterns of power – especially in our relationships and within structures we belong to.
With Mercury retrograding through Leo and opposing Pluto in Aquarius, themes of communication and power dynamics are lit up.
- How do we hold power through the way we speak, write, and show up in groups?
- How do we see each other within the collective?
- Where do we feel things are fair or unfair?
- And how does all of this shape the way we share our creativity with the world?
Leo’s Light and Our Creative Spark
The Sun – the eternal light bearer – radiates countless rays of light, never ceasing, never diminishing. Each of us carries a spark of that divine light. Leo energy invites us to ask:
- How do I express my unique ray?
- What makes me alive, potent, creative?
- Where do I feel most proud of my gifts – and where might pride stand in my way?
Power, Pride and Conditioning
Leo’s courage and fire can also carry pride. This lunation asks:
- What conditioning has shaped how you use your creative power?
- What battles have you fought – internally or externally- to be seen, heard, or recognized?
- Are you communicating from your authentic spark, or from old wounds and power struggles?
Structures and Relational Intelligence
Within groups and structures you’re a part of, is there relational intelligence – a genuine listening to every voice?
- Who built the structure you’re in?
- Do they allow for everyone’s input?
- Where are the power imbalances that need to be seen and addressed?
Retrogrades and Revisions
Mercury retrograde wants us to revisit, reframe, and rewrite our patterns of communication. Meanwhile Saturn and Neptune – both retrograding – remind us we are still shaping new structures whilst dissolving outdated ones. Ask yourself:
- What actions have I already initiated that need to be revised?
- How can I communicate more clearly, more effectively, more maturely?
Technology and the Mind
With Uranus in Gemini adding to this picture, technology and systems are a part of this story too.
- Where are you resisting growth in technology or communication tools?
- What new learning might set you free?
- Are you struggling against advancement or against yourself?
The Invitation
This New Moon is not just about new beginnings; it’s about seeing where pride, conditioning, and unbalanced power dynamics may be blocking the flow of your creative life force.
Look for eruptions or friction points around:
- Personal Power
- Group Dynamics
- Communication Patterns
- Structures and Systems
Then ask:
- What needs to be dissolved?
- What needs to be rebuilt?
- How can I let my light – my unique spark – shine in a way that serves both me and the collective?
We are in potent and ripe times for change!
May we feel our fire
May we direct it well
May we mature into right relationship
May we share our spark
Much love,
