Aries

This New Moon invites you to reconnect with your creative fire, not the kind that burns out quickly, but the kind that sustains and inspires. You are being asked to lead, not just act. The question is: from where? If your ego is steering, Mercury retrograde may trip you up. If your heart is guiding, you may discover a new sense of direction.

Children, passion projects, and joy all come into focus now. Recommit to what lights you up but don’t skip the inner work. Watch your dreams. They are speaking. There’s healing in play, and wisdom in slowing down.

Taurus

Home, safety, and your inner sanctuary are asking for attention. You may feel both tender and restless, wanting to ground yourself, yet knowing something must shift. This moon touches the roots of your being: where you came from, what you inherited, and what you’re ready to release.

Mercury retrograde may bring back old stories or family dynamics for review. Don’t resist the discomfort; it’s part of the clearing. Make space, literally and emotionally. Your feelings are speaking to you now. Listen for the messages through your body, your breath. It is time to let go and let what comes, come.

Gemini

Your ruling planet Mercury is entering retrograde, and that means the world might not be moving at your preferred speed but that’s not a bad thing. You’re being asked to slow down, speak from the heart, and be mindful of your words. Miscommunications could arise, especially around siblings, neighbors, or close contacts.

But deeper than that, this is a time for rethinking how you express yourself. What stories are you telling? Which ones are still true? This moon gives you permission to write a new one, one where your voice is rooted in truth, not clarity.

Cancer

This moon shines a light on your self-worth. Not the kind defined by praise, money, or achievement but the deeper worth that lives in your heart. What are you holding onto that’s weighing you down? What are you giving energy to that no longer serves you? The retrograde may challenge your financial systems or personal values, but it also offers insight and guidance.

You’re growing into a more stable, trusting relationship with what truly matters, yourself. This is the time to honor your needs, your value, and your right to invest in your peace. May your heart’s desire be known.

Leo

This is your moon. A reset. A remembering. A reintroduction to yourself. But don’t be surprised if it doesn’t come with a roar. You’re in the process of shedding. Something old is falling away: a role, an expectation, an identity. Let it. With Mercury preparing to retrograde in your sign, the invitation is to go inward before stepping outward.

Are you leading from ego or from heart? There’s a difference, and this moon will make it clear. You don’t have to prove your light, just be it. Courage isn’t loud. Sometimes, it’s quiet, consistent, and honest. And it starts with you. Let your heart shine.

Virgo

This moon stirs your inner world. What’s been hidden, overlooked, or tucked away is rising for review. You might feel more tired than usual, more sensitive, or less in control, especially as Mercury, your ruling planet, enters retrograde. Don’t push through. Listen.

Your dreams, your body, and your subtle senses are trying to tell you something. This is a time to pause, not to fix. Let go of the pressure to have it all together. There’s healing available if you’re willing to slow down and make space for stillness. Meditate. Let the light shine through the cracks.

Libra

The spotlight shifts to your friendships, your community, and the causes that matter to you most. Who do you align with now? Where are your values asking to be honored more deeply? The Leo New Moon wants you to take up space in ways that are joyful, expressive, and true. But the Mercury retrograde reminds you not to perform for belonging or acceptance.

Be discerning. You may be called to reevaluate a group, a partner, a role, or a dynamic that no longer fits. You’re not here to please, you’re here to contribute from the heart. Ask for clarity in your meditations and be courageous with what comes.

Scorpio

You are being seen. The New Moon activates your public life, your career, your leadership, your legacy. But visibility can be vulnerable, especially when old fears or power struggles resurface. Pluto, your modern ruler, is active now, asking you to examine where your ambition meets your soul. Are you chasing something that no longer nourishes you? Or are you finally ready to step into a version of yourself that feels earned, whole, and aligned?

Be mindful of control. Loosen your grip. Your power comes not from force, but from presence. That deep, endless void of power, when aligned with the heart – makes magic. Be pure and ask for higher purpose.

Sagittarius

This moon stirs your sense of direction, both literal and spiritual. You may feel pulled toward something new, yet uncertain how to get there. That’s okay. This isn’t about instant resolution. It’s about trusting the next step.

The New Moon invites you to dream bigger, expand your vision, and reconnect with your inner compass. But Mercury retrograde reminds you that true wisdom comes through experience, not escape. Ask better questions. Let your curiosity lead you, and allow your beliefs to evolve with your journey. You are worthy of good things and peace.

Capricorn

There’s a deep undercurrent running through this moon for you. One that touches your sense of power, intimacy, and emotional truth. You’re not someone who reveals easily, but this season may challenge that. Are you holding onto control because it feels safer than trust and intimacy?

The Leo New Moon invites you to release old patterns of protection and step into more honest connections. You will be okay. Mercury retrograde may stir financial or shared resource matters. Navigate them with patience and clarity. This is how wisdom is built. This is a powerful time to transform how you relate to others, and to your own vulnerability. Be open and let the unknown guide you.

Aquarius

Your relationships are mirroring you now. Whether through tension, tenderness, or transformation, the people in your life are showing you something about yourself. The Leo New Moon lands directly in your opposite sign, highlighting partnership and connection. Are you being met where you truly are? Are you showing up with the same integrity you expect from others? These are tough questions. Just ask and let the answers come unbidden.

Mercury retrograde may stir confusion or misalignment in how you communicate or commit. Go slow. Don’t assume, clarify and double check your work. The opportunity is here to create more balance. Find a way to release the tension and anxiety. It does not serve you, let go. Trust and be honesty with yourself. What you seek is just around the corner.

Pisces

Your everyday life is the container for your magic and this moon wants you to tend to that container. Are your routines supporting your energy or draining it? How is your health? Simple acts can make big differences. This is a time to refine and heal, not perfect.

Mercury retrograde may bring disruptions to your schedule, health habits, or work dynamics. Rather than resisting the changes, use this time to reflect on what needs realignment. Let what’s evolving your life to evolve. Your intuition will be louder than logic right now, so don’t ignore the whispers. Your body, your time, and your attention are sacred. Treat them as such. And allow yourself to dream boundlessly.
