Step Into the Spotlight with This New Moon in Leo on July 24, 2025
This New Moon in Leo is pure fire, and not just because Leo is a fire sign. The Sun and Moon meet at 2° Leo, right in the 5th house, the part of the chart Leo naturally rules. Everything about this lunation points to one thing: creative energy. The urge to express, to be seen, to take up space with joy and conviction. But the Pluto opposition is a little unnerving. Something is shifting behind the scenes. And it’s not a small thing. When it’s a Leo, Taurus, or Aquarius Moon, I always think about the earth itself moving. I don’t expect anything massive this time, hopefully. Still, the pressure is there.

This isn’t a soft reset. It’s a moment that might burn a little. A turning point for those who’ve been playing small or trying to stay safe. If you’re launching something close to your heart or finally admitting what you want, this New Moon is the push forward. Or the push out. The trines to Saturn and Neptune from Aries add structure and meaning. The sextile to Uranus brings a shift in rhythm. Something might click into place without a plan. Something might come through at the last minute. It doesn’t need to be perfect. It just needs to be honest.
Pluto Opposite the New Moon in Leo
The Pluto opposition sits in Aquarius, across the sky in the 11th house. So while this Moon wants you to stand in the spotlight, there’s pressure from the group. The fear of being rejected. The discomfort of not fitting in. If you’ve been hiding your full self to stay accepted, that performance may not hold much longer.
Still, there’s power in this. Pluto can drag up what’s buried, but it also clears the space. This lunation doesn’t ask you to sparkle. It asks you to be real. Not perfect. Not polished. Just real.
Saturn and Neptune Trine the New Moon in Leo
The trine from Saturn in Aries helps. It’s subtle but steady. Saturn in the 1st house says you don’t have to force anything. You already know who you are. That’s what makes this expression different. It’s not loud for attention. It’s firm because it’s grounded.
Neptune joins Saturn here too. So you’re not only showing up… You’re showing up with meaning. There’s a soft pulse behind the confidence. This Moon may ignite something you’ve been dreaming about for years. Jupiter sits in the same house as the Moon, reminding you that joy is serious business. Don’t underestimate the ideas or feelings that arrive now. They’re trying to grow.
Tension in Relationships with the New Moon in Leo
There’s tension in relationships, though. Venus in Gemini is focused on connection at home, but Mars in Virgo is cutting through noise. One wants to talk, the other wants to act. It’s not necessarily a fight, but it could feel like crossed wires. If you’re feeling misunderstood, give it a few beats before reacting.
Mercury is retrograde in Leo, in the 6th house. This might be a time when you’re editing your message or figuring out how to bring passion into your daily rhythm. It’s a good time to return to something you left half-done. Even if it’s just an idea. Especially if it scares you a little.
The New Moon in Leo Sextile Uranus in Gemini
The Moon is also sextile Uranus in Gemini. This can bring sudden clarity, unexpected news, or a shift in perspective that helps you move forward. Something may click. You might change your mind about something you thought was settled. It’s a clean break kind of energy. Not dramatic. Just different. And maybe exactly what you needed.
This energy is messy but alive. You might be nudged to share something before it’s ready. A relationship might come back around, this time with clarity. You might stop playing a role you didn’t realize you were cast in. And even if it’s awkward, it will be real.
New Moon in Leo Horoscopes – July 24, 2025 – 2° Leo
Aries Rising
This New Moon lands in your 5th house, where love, creativity, and joy live. You might be starting a romantic chapter that feels lighter or more exciting than what came before. This could also be the moment you return to something you used to love. A creative idea that’s been sitting in a folder might finally come back to life. You might find yourself craving more play and less pressure. If you’ve been focused on group obligations, Pluto in the 11th could stir up tension between what the group needs and what you need to feel alive. This Moon asks you to trust your instinct to create without apology, even if no one claps for it yet.
Taurus Rising
The Leo New Moon lights up your 4th house of home, roots, and your emotional foundations. You may be thinking about moving or changing your relationship with where you live. You might suddenly feel like your home no longer reflects who you are. This could be as small as painting a room or as big as leaving a space altogether. Something from your family history might also come back up. A parent may need your attention, or you might be seeing how an old story shaped your current sense of safety. If you’ve felt stuck in the past, this is a moment to reshape the foundation. Make sure your base actually supports the life you’re trying to build.
Gemini Rising
This New Moon rises in your 3rd house, where your voice, ideas, and daily movement live. You might start a blog, write a newsletter, launch a podcast, or get into a new learning routine. A short trip could open your eyes to something bigger. This part of your chart is also about how you speak up and how you listen. A conversation with a sibling or neighbor might shift how you view something simple but central. You might finally say what you’ve been holding back. Communication mishaps could surface too, especially with Mercury retrograde. You may need to repeat yourself, but this time it will land differently. Say it anyway.
Cancer Rising
This Moon lights up your 2nd house of income and personal value. You may be asking for a raise, launching something that earns, or rethinking how you define success. This could also show up as a big purchase or investment. You might realize you’ve been undercharging or underselling yourself. The opposition from Pluto in the 8th may stir fears about shared money, debt, or emotional attachment. You might be detangling your self-worth from someone else’s expectations. Pay attention to what you say yes to. Make sure it reflects what you actually value, not just what you think you’re supposed to want.
Leo Rising
This is your New Moon, happening in your 1st house of self, body, and direction. You may be changing your appearance, but this goes deeper than a haircut. You’re in a moment of reclaiming space. If you’ve felt invisible, disconnected, or small, this lunation gives you a reset. Something about how others see you and how you see yourself is shifting. You might end a relationship or dynamic that no longer reflects who you are. Pluto in your 7th can stir tension here, especially if someone resists your growth. But this isn’t about anyone else. It’s about letting your presence speak for itself. No defense. No justification. Just truth. You could also share something big with others. News about your life, your identity, or a decision you’ve made that changes the shape of things.
Virgo Rising
This New Moon falls in your 12th house. It’s quiet here. You may be exhausted or emotionally full. Something behind the scenes is moving. You could be letting go of a habit, a pattern, or a part of your past that no longer fits. A dream may speak louder than anything you hear during the day. You might feel like you need more rest, solitude, or even a creative escape. Mars is in your 1st house, giving you the urge to push forward, but the Moon is asking you to pause. Don’t rush this. Something is ending so something else can take form. You don’t have to name it yet. Just listen.
Libra Rising
This Moon lights up your 11th house, where friendships, networks, and future plans live. You may meet someone who expands your world or feel called to join a group with shared values. This could also mark a moment where you realize a long-held dream isn’t yours anymore. A collaboration might need revisiting. Pluto in your 5th house is pressing on your creative life, asking if you’re diluting your ideas to fit in. If you’ve been saying yes to everyone else’s plans, it might be time to lead your own. Your future is yours to shape. Make sure you’re not editing your desires just to keep the peace.
Scorpio Rising
This New Moon rises in your 10th house of career, public roles, and long-term goals. You might get a promotion, start a business, or feel pulled to take on a bigger role. This is a good time to share something publicly or be recognized for your work. But it’s not just about being visible. It’s about being visible for the right reasons. Pluto in your 4th house may stir something emotional or bring tension between your public role and private life. You might have to choose between what looks good and what feels good. Ask yourself if you’re building a life that supports your inner self too.
Sagittarius Rising
This Moon lands in your 9th house of travel, study, and belief systems. You could be booking a trip, starting a degree, or diving deeper into a spiritual or philosophical path. You might be questioning a belief that shaped your decisions for years. Something might click that changes how you view your future. This is a Moon for teachers, students, and anyone who wants to see more of the world. If you’ve felt stuck in your current view of life, something might crack open now. Let it. A new perspective doesn’t just change how you see the world. It changes what you do with your time.
Capricorn Rising
This New Moon in Leo falls in your 8th house. You may be dealing with shared money, emotional intimacy, or something you’ve been avoiding. This is a house of transformation. Something might fall away. A secret might come out. You could start therapy or finally have a conversation that clears the air. You might also be working through financial matters like taxes, debts, inheritances, or shared accounts. The point isn’t just the logistics. It’s what they reveal about power, fear, and trust. This Moon asks what needs to be released so you can move through your life with less weight.
Aquarius Rising
This Moon is in your 7th house of relationships. You might meet someone new or redefine an existing partnership. This could be romantic, professional, or personal. A contract might be signed or re-negotiated. Pluto in your 1st house is working on you, and that means your relationships are shifting too. If something feels like it’s breaking down, look at how much you’ve changed. It’s hard to relate the same way when you’re not the same person. This Moon could bring a moment of clarity. Who do you want beside you, and who are you when you’re with them?
Pisces Rising
The New Moon in Leo activates your 6th house of work, health, and daily habits. You might get a new job offer, start a health routine, or change how you manage your time. Something about your day-to-day is asking for a reset. This could be as basic as a new sleep schedule or as big as leaving a job that drains you. Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, and Fortune are in your sign. Your efforts now ripple outward more than usual. Choose actions that build a life you can sustain. This Moon is about making your everyday life feel more aligned. It’s not about perfection. It’s about functionality with heart.
