New Moon in Leo - July 24, 2025
With the focus on our leadership potential
The New Moon is on Thursday, July 24 at 2:11 pm CDT in 2° Leo.
This new moon puts the focus on leadership. It could be helpful to think about what type of leader you are or that you want to be. The aspects in the New Moon's chart show many possibilities.
The strongest aspect affecting all of us is the New Moon exactly opposed Pluto in 2° Aquarius. It suggests that the more dictatorial we are, the more likely it is that those we are trying to lead will rebel.
Uranus is at 0° Gemini in a harmonious sextile to the New Moon. With this aspect, we can bring a vision of a positive future to people we are looking to motivate.
The Saturn/Neptune conjunction
The Saturn/Neptune conjunction (close to 2° Aries) , that has been so frustrating to many people over the past few months, is in a fortunate trine aspect to the New Moon. Both Saturn and Neptune also provide opportunities with a sextile to Uranus. Saturn represents discipline and Neptune can relate to unselfish service. Therefore our own spiritual discipline can be inspiring to others while we recognize our responsibility is to help others in a loving, non-judgmental, and compassionate way. With Uranus in the mix, there can be new solutions to old problems.
