The New Moon in Leo is one of the most captivating lunar events of the year. We can observe the moon’s phases with the naked eye, making them some of the most fascinating astronomical patterns. In astrology, each phase is a rich source of meaning and interpretation. Among the nine phases: New, Waxing Crescent, First Quarter, Waxing Gibbous, Full, Waning Gibbous, Last Quarter, Waning Crescent, and Balsamic; the New and Full Moons tend to draw the most attention.
In this article, we’ll explore the current New Moon in Leo, including a “creation activity” inspired by the energy of this fire sign. This idea is adapted from Jan Spiller’s book, New Moon Astrology: The Secret of Astrological Timing to Make All Your Dreams Come True.

It takes 29.5 days from one New Moon to the next, spending approximately 2 and ½ days in a sign. Just before the New Moon begins, the 3 days of the previous moon phase is the Balsamic Moon. That period is ideal for meditating, reflecting, and releasing; all in preparation for the New Moon.
The first 12 to 24 hours after the New Moon begins is the best time to initiate energy. We will explore each New Moon using Jan Spiller’s suggested actions to take advantage of this period of inspiration.
The energy of the New Moon perfectly suits embarking on a first date, exploring novel experiences, and visiting uncharted places. It’s an opportunity that unfolds each month, inviting you to synchronize your actions with the fresh beginnings. Keeping track of the New Moon allows you to deliberately engage in something new. Take the time to initiate a project aligning with the Moon’s unique energies as it travels through different signs.
During the New Moon in Leo, the spotlight turns toward self-expression, courage, and heart-centered intention. Leo’s radiant influence inspires us to lead with authenticity, celebrate what makes us unique, and rekindle creative passions. This is the perfect time to set intentions around confidence, joy, and personal empowerment. Let this lunar phase encourage you to shine brightly and plant seeds of bold self-love, genuine connection, and soul-aligned leadership.
This New Moon will occur at 02d08m of Leo, making its Sabian symbol 3 Leo. “A woman having her hair bobbed.” Marc Edmund Jones says, “This is a symbol of human independence carried to a point of extreme self-examination, here emphasized in a desire for greater participation in the momentary trends and heightened values of the social milieu. There is open invitation to every possibility of personal experience, and a willingness to grasp the least promising opportunity in order to achieve an enlarged significance. The soul accepts every minor modification of itself in order to perfect the channels of its self-expression.” The key word is: DECISION.
The Numbers of This New Moon
This New Moon happens on 7/24/2025, so the number is 22, a master number, which reduces to 4. The Leo New Moon, illuminated by 22/4, invites you to build lasting confidence through heart-centered expression and leadership. Leo’s empowering influence supports inner strength, encouraging you to construct a life rooted in authenticity, joy, and radiant purpose. With 22/4 guiding this lunar cycle, it’s a time to ground your passions with structure and manifest a worthy legacy. Trust your inner fire, honor your vision, and commit to a life that feels bold, meaningful, and truly your own.
The Major Arcana cards for the number 4 are The Emperor (4) and Death (13). They embody stability, transformation, and the balance between control and necessary change. The Emperor teaches the Fool the value of structure and the power of building a solid foundation. He offers security and order, establishing the framework for lasting success. Death then challenges the Fool to release what no longer serves, embracing transformation to create renewal. Together, they reveal the wisdom of both stability and evolution.
The New Moon occurs on the 24th of the month, which reduces to the number 6. This is the number of harmony, devotion, and heartfelt responsibility. Paired with the radiant energy of Leo, this lunar moment calls you to lead and create with love. The 6 inspires service, beauty, and the desire to uplift others through authentic care. Leo’s fire brings courage, joy, and creative purpose. Use this New Moon to set intentions that align your passions with generosity. And, commit to building a life where love, loyalty, and self-expression shine.
New Moon in Leo Wishing (A Tribute to Jan Spiller’s Work)
I deeply appreciate the practical applications of astrology. And one gem is Jan Spiller’s book, “New Moon Astrology: The Secret of Astrological Timing to Make All Your Dreams Come True.” Spiller emphasizes that wishing is not mere idle desire but a conscious act of responsibility. To harness this energy, you must be aware of the New Moon’s timing in your time zone. Once you know it, write your wishes within 24 hours after it becomes new.
Once the New Moon’s energy is underway, it’s essential to take pen to paper. Though digital options abound, handwriting your wishes and intentions is integral to the energy ritual. Spiller advises crafting 3 to 7 wishes, depending on the New Moon and your life circumstances at the time. Aligning your statements with the New Moon’s sign when you write your intentions adds an extra layer of potency.
Sit down somewhere you can be comfortable, get your favorite pen, and write your wishes/intentions. Wording is very important, and Spiller suggests starting each sentence with, “I wish/want …”.
During the New Moon in Leo, consider the following wishes:
I wish to express my true self boldly and create a life filled with joy, warmth, and love.
I wish to step into my confidence with heart-led authenticity.
I want to deepen connections with those I love through generosity, loyalty, and heartfelt presence.
I wish to trust my inner fire as a guiding light in decisions and creative pursuits.
I want to cultivate a life of emotional fulfillment by leading with courage, purpose, and passion.
After jotting down your wishes, find a meaningful place for to keep them and revisit them periodically. Placing them in a journal or a special box by your bedside is a wonderful choice. Remember that the choice of paper and the pen you use play a role in this process. Being deliberate in every detail is key.
