How To Work With July's New Moon In Leo, According To Astrologers

If there's anything to know about Leo, it's that this sign is bold, passionate, and super keen on self-expression. With the new moon landing in the sign of the lion this month (on Thursday, July 28, at 1:54 p.m. EDT, btw), those themes are going to be front and center.

"Leo season encourages us to be very expressive, and then specifically more so with the new moon being in Leo as well," explains astrology expert Imani Quinn. And as the Astrotwins explain to mbg, the moon will be trining Jupiter retrograde in Aries, which will further encourage you to speak your truth.

Quinn and the twins both note that Jupiter retrograde landing on the same day as the new moon is significant as well, highlighting the importance of taking stock in your progress and processes in order to plant the best seeds going forward.

Between the new moon and Jupiter going retrograde in Aries, we're gearing up for an amped-up week, and according to the twins, it's a good time to both slow down to analyze your progress (thanks to Jupiter's influence), as well as get clear on what you have to offer.

"The Leo new moon traffics in first impressions, which raises the question, how do you want to shine in the world? Do one thing to put your talents on display or draw attention to your gifts," they suggest in their weekly horoscope.

Quinn adds that in order to fully step into your power (which this new moon in Leo asks us all to do), you'll have to make space by clearing out old chapters.
