A Waltz beneath the Lion’s Crown: New Moon in Leo.

On July 24th 2025, the season shifts, and with it comes the quiet grandeur of a gathering.

The Sun has just crossed into Leo, taking his place like a king returning home. Not with spectacle, but with a steady kind of warmth. The doors open. The room glows. The Moon slips in beside him, wearing a new, dark gown. Invisible to the eye, but she is there, fully present. Together, they begin their conjunction, to move in a synchronic motion. A waltz begins. Not rushed, not loud. Intentional.

Mercury is there, too. He’s walking backwards through the same golden halls. Not lost, but searching. His steps are different. He’s listening as much as he’s speaking, carrying memories and unsaid things. This is not a straightforward story. It loops and lingers. The past might knock again.

The Lion King and his Midnight Queen dance a celestial waltz under the new moon, while the court looks on in reverent awe, their hearts swaying to the rhythm of regal grace.

And beyond the walls of this Leo gathering, Pluto waits in Aquarius. He doesn’t enter. He watches from across the sky, a presence that can’t be ignored. The New Moon stands in direct opposition to him, as if to say "we see you". We feel the weight of change. But we will still gather. Still dance. Still speak from the heart.

This opposition between Leo and Aquarius, between self and society, between fire and ice, it may bring friction. Or revelation. Or both!

There is power in naming what matters to you. But also in pausing before you do. Mercury retrograde reminds us: not all declarations need to be immediate. Some truths need to be held a little longer in the chest before they’re ready to be shared.

So here we are. In the presence of a Sun that welcomes us home to our center, a Moon that asks us to feel without rushing, a Mercury that retraces the path of our own voice, and a Pluto that watches the evolution from the edge.

Let this moment be what it is. Unfinished. Honest. Full of invitation.

You don’t have to know what to do next.

You are simply one of the guests.

And the waltz has only just begun.

Much love to all, Valentina.
