Begin again with radiant intention and steady devotion…

Moon Phase & Sign

New Moon in Leo
Element: Fire
Modality: Fixed
Polarity: Yang
Dispositor: The Sun

The New Moon marks a time of renewal and quiet power. In Leo, the solar-ruled heart-center opens—calling you to begin again from authenticity, courage, and creative essence. This lunation invites bold self-expression, playful confidence, and the willingness to be seen in your truth.

Keywords: Self-expression, renewal, courage, joy, presence, creativity, inner radiance

Final Aspect – Moon in Virgo sextile Mars in Cancer

The final aspect the Moon makes before entering Leo is a sextile to Mars in Cancer while still in Virgo. This harmonious closing note offers practical preparation, emotional grounding, and clear momentum.

Virgo’s precision and care harmonize with Mars’ instinct to protect and act—creating a stable runway for Leo’s courageous launch. This gentle but purposeful aspect strengthens the resolve to follow through, not just dream big. It reminds us: true radiance is nurtured through devotion and aligned effort.

Why it matters:
The final aspect sets the energetic tone for how this New Moon’s seeds take root. A Virgo–Mars sextile encourages intentional embodiment of your creative visions, helping ideas become grounded rituals of becoming.

Ritual Tools & Practices for Emotional Integration

  • Carnelian – ignites courage, creativity, and vitality

  • Citrine – enhances joy, clarity, and solar confidence

  • Amazonite – balances heartfelt truth with calm expression

  • Moss Agate – supports steady growth and rooted devotion

Essential Oils:

  • Frankincense – centers spiritual awareness and deepens the breath

  • Sweet Orange – uplifts mood and sparks joy

  • Rosemary – activates focus and intentional action

Ritual Suggestions:

1. Solar Fire Invocation
Create a sacred space at sunrise or sunset. Light a golden or orange candle and place carnelian and citrine near the flame. Anoint your pulse points with sweet orange oil to open the heart. Speak your New Moon intention aloud, focusing on what you’re ready to embody with confidence and joy. Let your voice carry the vibration of creation.

2. Creative Embodiment Practice
Hold amazonite in one hand and place your other over your heart. Take three deep breaths with frankincense diffusing nearby or placed on your palms. Ask yourself: What is longing to be expressed? Then, create—draw, write, sing, or move your body in a way that honors your authentic fire.

3. Devotional Practice Mapping
With moss agate by your side, write out a 7-day micro-ritual plan that supports your intention. Keep it simple and sacred—one small daily act. Before planning, inhale rosemary oil to stimulate clarity. This ritual brings Virgo’s grounded practicality to Leo’s radiant spark—merging inspiration with form.

4. Mirror Ritual for Self-Affirmation
Stand before a mirror with citrine or carnelian held to your solar plexus. Anoint your throat or chest with frankincense or sweet orange. Gaze into your eyes and speak aloud:
“I honor the fire within me. I lead with love, joy, and devotion.”
Repeat three times with intention, anchoring it into your nervous system.Personal Reflection – Natal Chart Connection

  • What house in your natal chart holds 5° Leo (New Moon)? This area is where new creativity, self-expression, or leadership is awakening.

  • What house contains late Virgo (Moon’s final aspect)? This is where emotional readiness and support structure are forming behind the scenes.

  • Do you have placements between 2°–10° of Leo, Virgo, or Cancer? These will be especially activated.

Journal Prompts:

  • What new expression of self am I ready to initiate?

  • What fears or patterns have previously blocked my light—and how can I shift them now?

  • What supportive structures can I implement to help my intention grow with devotion?
