Letting go, rebirthing and gently growing under the fiery New Moon in Leo
This week, the Moon moves through a deep inner cycle: from waning to darkness to rebirth.
Each day offers an energetic gateway, an invitation to release, reflect, manifest, or begin again. Let the moonlight — or the absence of it — guide your soul and align you with the rhythms of the cosmos.
Monday, July 21 – Waning Crescent Moon
Theme: Inner peace, letting go, retreat
Energy: Introspection, cleansing, winding down
The Moon is still deep in her waning phase. Energy turns inward. You may feel more tired than usual. This is not the time to push – it’s time to purify, emotionally, physically and spiritually.
Ritual:
- Take a lukewarm bath or foot soak with sea salt, lavender and sage. Visualize your worries leaving your body through your skin.
- Write a letter to yourself saying goodbye to something that holds you back (a thought, habit or connection). Burn the letter safely, outside or in a fireproof dish.
Tuesday, July 22 – Deep waning, doorway into darkness
Theme: Preparing for emptiness
Energy: Stillness, reflection, completion
The Moon draws even closer to her darkest moment. A perfect day for conscious releasing. Trust the not-knowing. Stillness is fertile ground for insight.
Ritual:
- Meditate in silence for 10 minutes. Visualize old energies leaving your body.
- Cleanse your home with white sage, palo santo or singing bowls. Open the windows and let heavy energy drift away.
Wednesday evening, July 23 & Thursday, July 24 – NEW MOON IN LEO (peak: July 24 at 21:11)
Theme: Rebirth, setting intentions, self-expression
Energy: Creation, courage, heart power
The New Moon in Leo is fiery, powerful and full of light — even in her shadow. Leo invites you to dream big, step into your light and express your truth.
This is the magical zero-point of a brand-new lunar cycle.
Ritual:
- Intention ceremony: Write down 3–5 intentions in present tense (e.g. “I live from my intuition,” “I shine when I speak my truth”).
- Candle ritual: Light an orange or golden candle. As the flame flickers, visualize your intention coming to life.
- Use a citrine or sunstone to activate Leo energy. Place it on your heart during meditation.
Friday, July 25 – Waxing Crescent Moon
Theme: Plant the seed, initiate trust
Energy: Gentle momentum forward
The first visible crescent appears in the night sky. A signal of moving from idea to action. The light grows — just like your intention.
Take the first step today, even if it’s small.
Ritual:
- Plant a symbolic seed or herb (like basil or mint) and water it while whispering your intention.
- Create a mini action plan: 1–3 doable steps for this week.
Saturday, July 26 – Growing Moon, inspiration flow
Theme: Nourish, inspire
Energy: Reconnection with body and nature
The energy becomes more active and creative. You may feel more energized and inspired. Move your body, get outdoors, and let your senses wake up. Let art, sound, or movement guide you.
Ritual:
- Create something expressive (painting, dancing, writing) without judgment, just feeling.
- Drink a herbal infusion of lemon balm, nettle and rose petals for feminine balance.
Sunday, July 27 – Building momentum, connection
Theme: First fruits, soft action
Energy: Sharing, connecting, movement
A beautiful day to share what you’ve planted. Talk about your intention with someone. Let your energy ripple out. Sharing amplifies manifestation.
Ritual:
- Journal about how your first step toward your intention went. What felt right? What needs adjusting?
- Plan a joyful moment with someone – a walk, a laugh, a heart-to-heart.
