Leo New Moon 2022
We welcome a gorgeous New Moon in Leo this week…and it begs the question: what do you LIVE for?
SIGN: Leo
ELEMENT: Fire
PLANETARY RULER: The Sun
MODALITY: Fixed
DEGREE: 5°
DATE: Thursday, July 28th
TIME: 1:55 PM EST
The current astrology is especially STICKY. There are some beautiful astrological aspects, and some pretty difficult moments. The New Moon, specifically though, is hopeful and abundant.
New Moons are a moment of manifestation and especially in Leo, it’s about committing to new ways to embrace our best selves. This New Moon makes an expansive connection with Jupiter, so not only will we be ready to see ourselves in a sort of “golden hour” type light, we’ll also be learning a lot about what beliefs define our human experience.
Those with personal planets between 2° and 8° of the fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius) will feel this lunation most intensely.
It’s also smart to make note of the corresponding Leo Full Moon that will happen on February 5th, 2023 as a sort of “deadline” or commitment to yourself. Around that time, you’ll likely be reaching a culmination point of whatever you’re trying to manifest right now (check out which house "Leo" rules in your birth chart to find a few hints).
Again, despite the feel good vibes of this New Moon, it’s coinciding with some other more difficult astrological transits. There are likely to be some big surprises in store, especially by the very end of the month and beginning of August.
Let this New Moon be a silver lining in a potentially turbulent moment by checking in with Leo’s ruler, the heart. Despite any difficult circumstances, the heart always knows what it wants. Find a few moments of quiet and listen to what it has to share. Whatever whispers you hear are your personal, authentic truths- and they should always be celebrated!
The best ritual for this New Moon in Leo? Honoring your heart's desires with authentic action.

LEO NEW MOON MANTRAS
If you’re familiar with your birth chart, we recommend reading your rising sign mantra. Many astrologer’s (including ours!) write horoscopes based on the rising, or ascendant sign, because it allows them to determine the houses of the chart; knowing the houses informs where the energy will be experienced in your life. If you’re not sure what your rising sign is, book a reading with us and just read your sun sign this time!
