MOONSCAPE ❩●❨ 28/06/2025 Saturday Night
Moon in Leo | Sun in Cancer
The Lion’s Seed
Quiet Courage, Tender Hearts, and the Fire Beneath the Hearth
Come closer, child of the turning tide. The velvet dusk cradles the New Moon in Leo, a fresh heartbeat pulsing in the lion’s chest. This isn’t the roaring Leo you know from summer’s peak. Tonight, it is the hush before the curtain rises, a breath held in the wings. In Cancer’s watery arms, the Sun invites us to plant bold seeds from deep emotional soil, to risk vulnerability in pursuit of authentic, radiant selfhood.
Tonight’s sky is a tapestry of longing and promise. The New Moon is a sacred blank page, yet the Leo fire asks: what will you dare to inscribe? With Mercury in Leo trine Saturn and Neptune, our words may carry the weight of truth and the shimmer of dreams. Mars in Virgo trines Ixion, urging practical action, while Venus in Taurus (sextile Teharonhiawako) whispers about beauty and grounded pleasure. But beware, shadows flicker: Moon squares Black Moon Lilith, Juno, Psyche, and Albion, stirring the wild, the wounded, and the wary within.
Will you step into your own spotlight, even if your hands tremble?
What wild hope aches to be born in you tonight, just out of sight?
Tonight’s Celestial Threads:
𖤐 New Moon in Leo
The seed of creative courage and honest self-expression.
𖤐 Moon squares Black Moon Lilith & Juno, opposite Chariklo
Old wounds and power struggles surface; let gentleness be your shield.
𖤐 Moon trines Ceres, Salacia, Eros, Leleakuhonua, Great Attractor
Blessings flow from nurturing, play, and cosmic curiosity, nourish yourself and others.
𖤐 Mercury trine Saturn & Neptune
Speak your truth, but let it be touched by compassion and imagination.
𖤐 Mars trine Ixion, opposite Gonggong
Channel energy into new habits, but watch for self-sabotage or old chaos tempting you back.
𖤐 Venus sextile Teharonhiawako
Beauty is found in simple, rooted things, touch, taste, the shape of a comforting word.
The ancestors lean in, listening.
What will you choose to begin, knowing every brave act starts in darkness, and every seed knows the risk of growth?
♈︎ ARIES (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
The Ember Ignites
Risk and Revelation
Moon in your 5th House
The New Moon stirs your house of joy and creative fire, Aries. A blank canvas is before you, will you paint with bold strokes, or hesitate at the edge? Moon’s squares to Lilith and Juno bring old rivalries and prideful wounds to the surface. Mercury’s trine to Saturn steadies your hand, if you’ll use it.
Challenge: Can you create for the joy of it, not applause? Dare to play like no one’s watching, and heal the parts of you that flinch from being seen.
♉︎ TAURUS (Apr 20 – May 20)
The Hearth Rekindled
Roots and Reckoning
Moon in your 4th House
Tonight, the Moon slips into your private sanctum, home, family, old memories. Venus in your sign, sextile Teharonhiawako, encourages you to find beauty in what’s familiar, while Moon’s squares may churn up unresolved family truths.
Reflection: Can you forgive a loved one, or yourself, for not being perfect? What foundation needs shoring up within you? Sometimes safety is built, not found.
♊︎ GEMINI (May 21 – Jun 20)
The First Word
Mind and Heart in Union
Moon in your 3rd House
The New Moon in Leo brings fresh starts for communication, learning, and friendships. Mercury in Leo, your ruler, trine Saturn and Neptune, gifts you with golden words and inspired ideas. But Moon’s square to Psyche warns: don’t hide your true feelings behind clever chatter.
Challenge: What truth have you swallowed? Speak it, kindly but clearly, and see how the air clears.
♋︎ CANCER (Jun 21 – Jul 22)
The Seed in the Shell
Worth and Vulnerability
Moon in your 2nd House
Finances, self-worth, and material needs come up for renewal under this New Moon. The Sun in your sign makes this extra tender. Moon trines to nurturing Ceres and loving Eros invite you to cultivate kindness toward yourself, while squares warn against letting old resentments poison new beginnings.
Reflection: Where have you sold yourself short? Plant a promise to value yourself more, your heart is more precious than you know.
♌︎ LEO (Jul 23 – Aug 22)
The Lion’s Whisper
Becoming, Not Just Being
Moon in your 1st House
This is your night, Leo. The New Moon in your sign is a soft crown, inviting you to reimagine yourself. Yet, Moon’s opposition to Chariklo and squares to Lilith and Juno may bring old self-doubts roaring back. Mercury in your sign gives you the voice to name your wishes; Saturn’s trine asks for integrity.
Dare: Can you show the world your softer mane? Let yourself be seen, messy, radiant, real.
♍︎ VIRGO (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
The Hidden Garden
Rest and Surrender
Moon in your 12th House
The lunar light falls in your house of dreams, endings, and deep healing. Mars in your sign is itching for tangible results, but the New Moon suggests the real work is quiet, internal. Trines to Neptune and Ixion bring strange clarity, listen to what arises in stillness.
Challenge: What grief or longing needs tending? Rest, forgive, and trust the process, some seeds sprout in the dark.
♎︎ LIBRA (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
The Circle Gathers
Friendships and Aspirations
Moon in your 11th House
Your social web hums with possibility. The New Moon brings opportunities for new alliances, dreams, and collective causes. Yet, Moon’s square to Albion and Psyche warns against sacrificing your truth for belonging. Venus in Taurus asks you to bring beauty to your circles, but not at the cost of authenticity.
Reflection: Where do you need to stand out, even if it’s uncomfortable? True friends will love your odd angles.
♏︎ SCORPIO (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
The Crown and the Shadows
Purpose and Power
Moon in your 10th House
Career, reputation, and your calling are illuminated. This New Moon is a chance to claim your place, but Moon’s squares to Lilith and Juno bring up old power struggles. Sun and Jupiter in Cancer trine your Scorpio planets, offering emotional wisdom.
Dare: Can you lead with vulnerability, not just control? The world needs your strength, but also your tenderness.
♐︎ SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
The Pilgrim’s Path
Vision Reborn
Moon in your 9th House
The horizon beckons, Sag. The New Moon in your house of faith and adventure urges you to set a new course. Trines to the Great Attractor and Leleakuhonua hint at cosmic guidance, but Moon’s squares may tempt you to run from discomfort.
Reflection: What belief or story do you need to leave behind? Risk the unfamiliar, and trust that wisdom grows at the edge.
♑︎ CAPRICORN (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
The Deep Well
Intimacy and Inheritance
Moon in your 8th House
Transformation stirs from beneath: shared resources, old grief, the mysteries of connection. New Moon in Leo asks you to claim your personal power, but Moon’s squares (especially to Juno and Psyche) challenge you to release old resentments around trust.
Challenge: Can you let someone in? Healing happens when you share the burden, not when you bear it alone.
♒︎ AQUARIUS (Jan 20 – Feb 18)
The Mirror Dance
Relating with Courage
Moon in your 7th House
Partnerships come into focus, romantic, business, or chosen kin. The New Moon invites a new way of relating, but Moon’s opposition to Chariklo and squares to Psyche may test your boundaries. Mercury’s trine to Saturn and Neptune helps you communicate with both clarity and compassion.
Dare: Can you ask for what you need, without apology? Let yourself be met halfway.
♓︎ PISCES (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
The Sacred Task
Healing Through Service
Moon in your 6th House
Daily routines, health, and service are your field tonight. The New Moon offers a reset: where does your giving need more balance, more joy? Moon’s trines to Ceres, Eros, and Neptune bless your intuition, but squares to Psyche and Albion warn against martyrdom.
Reflection: Can you care for yourself with the same grace you offer others? Replenish your own well, first.
Closing Reflection
The Lion’s Seed
Quiet Bravery, Gentle Beginnings
This Leo New Moon is not a thunderclap, but a soft, radiant spark, a whisper that says, “Begin again.” It reminds us: real courage is the willingness to plant yourself, trembling, in the soil of possibility. To risk being seen, even if you’re not yet ready to roar.
Some seeds split open in darkness. Some hearts find their strength in silence.
Tonight, trust that the small, brave act of believing in yourself is enough. The roots are stirring. The fire is kindled. Sleep with hope curled in your chest, and know, what you plant tonight will grow in its own wild, wondrous way.
Will you tend your spark, and trust it will become a mighty flame?
Sleep well, dream fierce, and remember:
The night is long, but the dawn is always listening.
