Endlessly energized and bold, the Lion has little time for games—at least, not when it comes to pleasure. This new moon in Leo demands delight, urging us to steer clear of energetic time-sucks and all things monotonous. Now is not the time to be sparing, hesitant, or overly conservative where your joy is concerned. Let indulgence reign under the dark moon, babe. Our emotions are heightened, but unusually murky and difficult to pin down at this time. The Leo dark moon asks us to let our desires lead us through the dark, and back towards our inner flames. 

The Lion has no qualms about lavishing themselves when the time is right—this dark moon is a roar in the abyss, and a call to return to sensuality as the center of your magic. Leo is asking us to leave all our worries at the door—be in your pleasure, unfurl and unravel in ecstasy. Remember, there's always more where your pleasure came from, and that well will never run dry. Draw on those reserves, and when you find yourself questioning your desires from a space of lack, lean deep into that impulse—when did you learn to be so sparing with your joy, with your bliss? 

The new moon in Leo is a celebration, but also an unyielding reminder to invest our energy where it can thrive. If we fail to feed our inner fire, those fires will inevitably go out. Our desires need to be nurtured before they can bloom. Don’t shy away from your hunger, babe. Tend to it.
