💫   What Else Is Happening in the Sky? Your Cosmic Forecast for the New Moon in Leo 2025

Pay attention to Leo’s ruling planet, the sun. The new moon in Leo will answer to the sun, pointing your attention in the sun’s direction for guidance. At the time of the lunation, the sun in Leo will trine Saturn retrograde in Aries and Neptune retrograde in Aries.

What does this mean, and how will these planets impact the new lunar cycle?

You may not know exactly what you want from this lunar cycle yet, but you will enter it feeling confident about how you will navigate your life throughout the six months. What you desire may become clearer, especially if you’re open to changing and adjusting. Be somewhat flexible, since you never know what you may want to make room for in your life.
