What Does the New Moon in Leo Mean?
The New Moon in Leo at 2 degrees represents a time to acknowledge what makes you feel empowered and honor what makes you YOU.
As with any New Moon, it is a time to set an intention and build momentum for a better future.
But what makes this New Moon different from others is that it is advantageous to focus on what brings you JOY and make that your world.
Like the Sun, which Leo is ruled by, JOY illuminates our life, encourages growth, and brings purpose.
Take a look at your birth chart to see which house Leo rules for you, for that is where you will have a new beginning.

The New Moon is a beautiful reminder that it is your calling to recognize that your presence is a gift, and that it is up to you to honor it by surrounding yourself with people, places, and things that value and appreciate your presence.
So use this beautiful Moon to write down what you like about yourself, the skills and knowledge you treasure, who helps you feel seen, and places that fill you with light.
Leo is the illuminator and King/Queen of the zodiac.
With the archetype of Leo in mind, you can harness this archetype during the New Moon by conducting yourself as if you were the King or Queen of your life.
What would you do differently if you saw yourself as a King/Queen? What principles will rule your life and behaviors?

THE TRANSITS
~~~
During the New Moon, the Sun conjuncts the Moon (making the New Moon) at 2 degrees of Leo, illuminating your inner landscape and indicating that a new beginning is at hand.
If you look at what house Leo rules for you, you’ll find that area of life is ready to bring about a new beginning.
Pay close attention to what disturbs or excites you around the New Moon because that is where the momentum is building.
The New Moon in Leo is co-present with Mercury retrograde, so your routine disruption with the retrograde is informing you on what needs to change, too.
Furthermore, the New Moon will be in exact opposition to Pluto, bringing power plays and struggles to the forefront of our minds.
This can happen internally or externally, depending on where you are in your evolution with Pluto.
My best advice for this Moon is to do your best not to react to the world around you, but to respond as if you are the Queen or King of your life.
Protect your values and principles in your life and do not let others bully or project onto you.
They can not convince you to be something else without your consent.
The trine from Saturn Rx and Neptune Rx in Aries, and the sextile from Uranus in Gemini, can also offer radical emotional and spiritual support during these challenging times.
So lean into your spiritual practices and unique path during this New Moon.
Remember you are the one in charge of your life!
Happy New Moon in Leo!
What to do with this Moon?
- Acknowledge any uncomfortable feelings you might have, and journal
- Embrace your unique path and protect it and your JOY
- Set an intention to perform as the King or Queen of your life
