New Moon of July 24, 2025

What this lunation colors

Leo’s fire doesn’t warm in secret: it radiates, and it owns it. This high-summer new moon falls in fixed fire, the sign of the fifth house: creation, play, the loves that set the heart pounding, children (the ones you have, the one you were), and that thing so simple and so hard at once: being seen. To sow in Leo is to plant a seed of joyful visibility. A creative project asleep in a drawer, an urge for the stage, for color, for a generous gesture; a love to dare, or to rekindle; a promise to play more, in the most childlike sense of the word. The mood of the lunation is warm, theatrical, the heart a little higher than usual: you want to love hard and be applauded, and tradition sees no vanity in that. Jan Spiller links this new moon to creativity and to the heart’s dignity: giving what’s most alive in you, without calculating how it lands. Fixed fire has a quality precious to sowing: it lasts. What you light here can burn for months, as long as you feed it with joy rather than obligation. The Leonine question isn’t “is it useful?” but “is it alive?” If something makes your eyes shine just to talk about it, that’s exactly the seed to put in the ground now.
