The Sun officially enters its fiery sign, Leo, on July 22. Just two days later, on July 24, the Sun will join forces with the Moon, kicking off a new lunar cycle and bringing about a celestial event: the July New Moon. With both celestial bodies united in their fiery home, this event promises to be very powerful for most people. However, the July New Moon will be especially intense for some zodiac signs.
Leo
Get ready to let go and let go of the past, Leo. It’s your season, and the New Moon in your sign is urging you to embrace your authenticity. Of course, transforming from a caterpillar to a butterfly isn’t easy, so you’ll need to be willing to take on challenges and step outside your comfort zone. This New Moon is an opportunity to set new goals and elevate your aspirations toward bigger, more meaningful goals.
With this Moon’s conjunction with transformative Pluto in your relationship zone, you may feel like the people around you are a reflection of your current growth. Instead of just reacting with emotion, use these moments as a motivation to delve deeper into your inner beliefs and perspectives. They could lead you to a major discovery that opens a whole new chapter.
Scorpio
This New Moon is occurring in one of the most important areas of your astrological chart, so it challenges you to step forward and take on the role that is rightfully yours. Feelings of not being enough (imposter syndrome) may be resurfacing, and may be triggered by painful memories or old beliefs that tell you you are not worthy of success. But it is time to start a new narrative; one that truly reflects the growth, confidence, and expertise you have earned through hard work.
The strongest aspect of this Moon is its confrontation with Pluto — your dark and mysterious ruling planet — so expect to take a deep dive into your thoughts and fears. What limiting beliefs are holding you back on your professional path? Why are you doubting your worth? Face your insecurities and embark on a new journey, without them.
Aquarius
The New Moon in Leo is illuminating your relationship zone, encouraging you to build more self-confidence, especially when it comes to important connections with others. It's a great time to take a step forward in a partnership, whether romantic or friendly, because the universe is putting the ball in your court. Follow your heart when making relationship decisions, and trust your ability to discern what's best for your closest connections.
You're gaining self-confidence in other ways now, too, as you're forming a clearer idea of your personal needs, which will affect how you appear to others. As the New Moon faces mysterious Pluto in your sign, you'll feel the call of transformation that leads you toward a more honest and true version of yourself. Stop trying to fit into the image others have of you.
