THE NEW MOON IN LEO
We welcome the phase of the new moon in Leo on Thursday, July 28th, 2022. New moons are times for fresh starts and intention settings, so use this night to write down your goals and reflect on your dreams.
What Does the New Moon Represent?
A new moon represents a time of new beginnings that allows for a reset of goals, desires, and a beautiful time for new intentions to be put into action. Imagine a symbolic planting of the seeds – a time to gain nourishment for the future, expand, and grow into fruition. The energy surrounding a new moon is like a tide that brings all of our emotions to the surface and helps instill a heightened sense of awareness of these emotions. Scientists believe that humans have a direct reaction to the Earth’s magnetic field that occurs with the new moon phase.
Characteristics and Attributes of Leo
This sign specifically holds an energy strongly connected to the element of fire. People born under the sign of Leo are natural born leaders. They are dramatic, creative, self-confident, dominant, and hold the will power to achieve anything they put their heart to. There is a specific strength to the Leo energy and their "king of the jungle" mentality. Leos often find themselves with a large surrounding of many friends for they are generous and loyal. The fire element of this sign causes more intense and quick reactions when triggered to emotional flares.
How to Connect and Harness the Energy of the Leo New Moon
Find where your confidence is currently manifesting in your body and your mind. Use that space to send the same energy to places you may feel not as confident or emotionally safe to welcome a full energy transition of the mind, body, and spirit.
Take note of your strengths. If you hold talent in your work or a physical activity, spend more time diving further into your craft.
With these strengths comes the necessity to reflect on our emotional body. Spend extra time nurturing the spaces that might have been pushed down into the subconscious and may require healing energy.
Prioritize physical activity to make sure your heart health is a point of focus during this moon.
New Moon Journal Prompts
Imagine you are standing in front of your younger self in a mirror. If you could tell yourself something that you know now, what would that be and how would that change your confidence in your current walking life?
How can you challenge yourself during this new moon to be more active? Consider a walk in nature, a longer time set aside for a workout, or trying a new class.
New Moon Self Care Strategy
Breathwork: Open the mental and emotional blocks in the body.
Breathwork analyzes current breathing patterns and opens restricted airflow to improve mental, physical, and spiritual wellbeing. It is a healing method that employs a high-vibrational energy, created by an open, full and connected breath, to support a greater sense of self awareness and self healing. This high vibrational energetic state allows for deep resolution by full integration of body, mind, and spirit.
Sound Therapy & Meditation: Allow vibrational energy to send waves through the chakras to promote healing and relaxation.
Sound Therapy is a form of sensory therapy that has been used by various cultural groups for centuries. Sound Therapy utilizes music and specialty instruments combined with deep self-reflection techniques to improve health and wellbeing while ‘submerging’ participants in a full body listening experience.
