Leo New Moon 2025: A New Collective Energy Awakens— A Prelude to 2026 and Beyond
On Thursday, July 24th at 3:11 PM EDT, the Leo New Moon arrives at 2°08′, lighting the match beneath a new fire in the collective sky. This is our first New Moon with Uranus freshly dipped into curious, cerebral Gemini — a preview of the innovation-fueled chapter that awaits us in 2026 and beyond.
Uranus officially entered Gemini on July 7th, 2025, but this is just a temporary stopover. It will retrograde back into Taurus this fall before returning to Gemini for good in April 2026, where it will remain until 2033. Like Saturn and Neptune’s early steps into Aries, Uranus in Gemini is playing its overture now — hinting at the tempo we’ll soon be dancing to.
To get a sense of what’s possible under this influence, we only need to look back to 1941–1949, the last time Uranus spun through Gemini. It was a time of radical change:
The atomic bomb and radar tech reshaped warfare and geopolitics.
Early computers and the invention of the transistor began the digital revolution.
Microwaves, helicopters, ballpoint pens — everyday game-changers were born.
This Leo New Moon is more than a moment to set intentions — it’s a celestial pause, gilded by Mercury’s retrograde and stirred by the outer planets first breeze into the elements of fire and air. It invites us to align our words, actions, and desires with the quiet truth of the soul.
This charged cosmic threshold asks: Are we living in harmony with our soul’s true north? Are we anchored within, radiant from the core — ready to meet the shifting skies of 2026 with clarity, courage, and light that’s truly our own?

Aspect Deets:
Leo New Moon Trine Saturn in Aries
This harmonious trine grounds the Leo New Moon’s flair with Saturn’s grit in Aries. It blends radiant charisma with pioneering structure — inspiring us to lead from the heart, but with the patience and discipline to build something that lasts.
Sun trine Saturn gives us unwavering focus and stamina. Challenges become stepping stones, not roadblocks. Our ambition has spine.
Moon trine Saturn strengthens our emotional resolve. We’re able to channel our feelings and creativity with maturity and purpose, making this a potent moment to commit to what truly matters — and stay the course. Together, these trines unify our physical and emotional vitality in steady pursuit of our goals.
Leo New Moon Trine Neptune in Aries
This is leadership laced with spiritual insight and intuition. With Neptune in Aries, our instincts are lit with inspiration — and Leo’s flair brings the courage to chase our dreams with full-hearted fire.
Sun trine Neptune infuses ambition with imagination. Leo’s drama meets Neptune’s mysticism, making this a ripe time for soulful ambition, creative leaps, and inspired leadership. Saturn’s influence keeps us from floating off in fantasy — reminding us to weave the dream into the plan.
Moon trine Neptune opens a deeper emotional flow. We’re not just dreaming — we feel the vision, and that resonance brings others along for the journey.
⚠️ Just a heads-up under this fiery sky: confidence can quickly slip into ego. Leo and Aries together don’t do subtle. The key is awareness — checking in with our motives and remembering that true power doesn’t shout. It radiates.
Leo New Moon Sextile Uranus in Gemini
This sextile electrifies the airwaves with curiosity, originality, and intellectual spark. We’re future-focused, open-minded, and itching for fresh ideas.
Sun sextile Uranus shines with a progressive glow. We’re magnetized toward change that uplifts our quality of life — and in Gemini, it’s our voice, thoughts, and connections that lead the charge. Expect breakthroughs in how we express ourselves and what we choose to question.
Moon sextile Uranus makes us emotionally receptive to innovation. The heart is hungry for stimulation, novelty, and freedom. We feel most alive when we’re learning something new, trying something different, or stepping outside the norm.
⚠️ Just watch for nervous overload — Uranus in Gemini buzzes like static electricity. Stay grounded or risk frying your circuits.
Leo New Moon Opposite Pluto in Aquarius
Here’s the fire whirl. This opposition is a cosmic tug-of-war between personal power and collective transformation.
Sun opposite Pluto compels us to examine how we express our authority and charisma. Are we leading with light — or are we burning too hot, trying to control outcomes? Pluto’s presence in Aquarius reminds us that real power comes from participation, not domination.
Moon opposite Pluto churns up emotional undercurrents we may have buried. Old patterns and unconscious behaviors beg for release. We may feel raw, exposed, or emotionally tested — but these discomforts are gateways to profound growth.
This aspect is less about taming the fire and more about transmuting it. Let what needs to go burn off — and let what’s true rise from the ashes.
Venus in Gemini Squares Mars in Virgo Squares
Here’s a clash of styles: one flirts, the other files.
Venus in Gemini wants connection through curiosity — lighthearted banter, mental stimulation, and variety in relationships. She loves to dance across the surface, tasting ideas and interactions without necessarily diving deep.
Mars in Virgo, on the other hand, is precise, methodical, and deeply invested in doing things right. He wants actions to count — not just sparkle.
Together in square, this tension can show up as frustration between wanting to keep things breezy versus needing things to feel useful or purposeful. Conversations may feel fun but ultimately hollow — or tasks may feel efficient but emotionally unfulfilling.
This aspect asks: Can we find harmony between detail and delight? Or at least be honest about where we can’t?
Venus in Gemini Squares the North Node in Pisces
This square stirs friction between mental stimulation and soulful growth.
Venus in Gemini delights in ideas, options, and the freedom to explore them. But the North Node in Pisces is calling us somewhere deeper — toward intuition, compassion, and emotional resonance.
What once seemed harmless — a situation, relationship, dynamic, and/or habit — may now reveal itself as a subtle disconnection from what you truly crave: meaning, emotional intimacy, spiritual alignment.
This is the kind of discomfort that whispers: “You’ve outgrown this.” And the more we ignore that whisper, the louder it becomes.
Mars in Virgo Opposes the North Node in Pisces
Mars in Virgo is the cosmic fixer — diligent, efficient, and ready to solve the problem before you even finish explaining it. It wants to serve, improve, and make life work better, cleaner, smarter.
But the North Node in Pisces invites us into something messier: the mystical, the invisible, the intangible. It reminds us that not everything can (or should) be repaired — some things are meant to be felt, surrendered to, and moved through with grace.
This opposition is a soulful balancing act. It asks: Can you hold space for both the work and the wonder? Are you serving from a place of sacred purpose — or trying to earn your worth through ceaseless doing?
Let go of the need to have it all figured out. Some of the most profound alignments in life happen when we stop steering and start flowing.
In Closing…
This Leo New Moon reminds us that we are not passive players in the unfolding story of change — we are co-creators. Our inner light is not just decoration; it’s a compass. And when we honor it, we become the artists of a new era, not merely observers of one.
Yes, the skies are shifting. Yes, 2026 carries momentum. But we are not behind — we are being primed. This moment invites us to listen deeply, align courageously, and stoke the creative fire within.
So set intentions that roar with authenticity. Share your light boldly. And walk your path with the quiet confidence of someone who knows: the future isn’t found — it’s forged.
Happy Leo New Moon,
Brenda
