The new moon in Leo is a time of creativity and self-expression. This sun-ruled sign is here to shine and illuminate, brightening up the areas of your life that Leo rules. (Check your chart and the corresponding topics of the house Leo lives in) As the fixed fire sign of the zodiac, Leo is here to hold the summer season in its last moments before we begin the change to fall. The new moon is here to amplify our intentions and encourage new growth. This New Moon, tap into this energy, and let yourself shine.
Here is a simple ritual for this new moon:
Materials Needed:
-
A piece of citrine or sunstone
-
Bay leaf and a pen
-
Fireproof bowl
-
Journal and pen
-
Essential oils (citrus or rosemary)
-
Incense (frankincense or sandalwood)
Preparation:
-
Create a Sacred Space: Cleanse your ritual space by burning herbs or incense. Arrange your materials in a way that feels right to you.
-
Set Up an Altar: Place the yellow or gold candle in the center. Surround it with fresh flowers, your chosen crystal, and a bowl of essential oils.
-
Ground Yourself: Sit comfortably, close your eyes, and take several deep breaths. Visualize roots growing from your feet, grounding you into the earth.
The Ritual:
-
Opening Invocation: Light the incense and say: "I call upon the energies of the New Moon and the sign of Leo. May this space be blessed with the power of creation, confidence, and light."
-
Light the Candle: Light the yellow or gold candle, focusing on its flame. Say: "As this candle burns, so does my inner light. May it shine brightly and illuminate my path."
-
Set Intentions: Take the bay leaf and write your intention or wish.
-
Burn the Bay Leaf: Hold the bay leaf over the flame (safely) and let it catch fire. Drop it into the bowl to burn completely. As it burns, visualize your intention manifesting.
-
Crystal Meditation: Hold the citrine or sunstone in your hand. Close your eyes and meditate on your intention. Allow the crystal's energy to amplify your confidence and creativity. Stay in this meditation for at least 10 minutes.
-
Journaling: Open your journal and write about your dreams, aspirations, and how you plan to embody the energy of Leo in the coming lunar cycle. Reflect on what makes you unique and how to express your true self more fully.
-
Anointing: Dip your finger in the bowl of essential oils and anoint your wrists, temples, and heart center. As you do this, say, "I am empowered, confident, radiant."
-
Closing the Circle: Thank the energies and entities you called upon. Extinguish the candle, saying: "I release this energy into the universe. May it bring forth my highest good. So mote it be."
-
You can keep the crystal with you or place it on your altar to continue amplifying your intentions. The ash and remnants in your ritual bowl can be buried in the earth.
