On July 24, 2025, the New Moon in Leo arrives as a powerful reset - a moment to return to what sets your soul alight.
Leo is ruled by the sun, the centre of our solar system and the symbolic heart of who we are. This lunation invites you to stand in your light, lead with love, and express your truth with courage.
What the Leo new moon is all about:
Every new moon is a time to plant seeds and start fresh. But when it lands in Leo, we’re asked to think bigger. To step into leadership, creativity, and confidence - not from ego, but from deep authenticity.
This is a time to reconnect with:
- Your inner fire
- Your creative spark
- The bold truth of who you are
Leo doesn’t whisper... It roars. And if you’ve been holding back, this is your nudge to return to your purpose and passion.
Why cacao is the perfect ritual companion?
Cacao has long been used in ceremony and ritual for its ability to open the heart and quiet the mind. Rich in theobromine and anandamide (the bliss molecule), ceremonial cacao helps you drop into the body, shift emotional energy, and access inner clarity.
Cacao supports:
- Grounded presence in turbulent times
- Heart-centred clarity for setting intentions
- Gentle activation of the body’s natural energy
- Emotional openness without overwhelm
It’s a way to soften, listen, and reconnect before taking bold, heart-aligned action.
Leo New Moon Cacao Ritual to Ignite your inner flame:
This ritual is a simple yet powerful way to align with the energy of the Leo new moon. You don’t need much - just space, presence, and an open heart.
What you’ll need:
- Your favourite Ceremonial Cacao (we recommend mixing Ceremony with the Fire blend to align with Leo energy)
- A journal and pen
- A candle or incense
- Optional: crystals, music or oracle cards
Step-by-step:
1. Create your sacred space
Find a quiet, comfortable spot where you won’t be disturbed. Light a candle, burn incense, or play soft music to help you shift into a sacred state.
Take a few deep breaths. Land in the space.
2. Prepare your cacao
Brew your cacao mindfully, stirring with presence. As it melts, hold your intention in your heart. You can speak it aloud, think it silently, or simply feel it.
Let this act be a meditation. A prayer. A ritual.
3. Candle meditation
Once your cacao is ready, sit comfortably in front of your lit candle.
Gaze into the flame. Let it draw your awareness inward.
Imagine it as your inner fire - steady, warm, and alive.
Breathe with it. Let it speak to you.
When you're ready, close your eyes and bring that flame into your heart space.
4. Tune in
With one hand on your heart and one on your belly, ask yourself:
- What lights me up?
- Where am I ready to lead from the heart?
- How can I live life with more passion and purpose?
- How can I shine my light bright like the sun?
Let your answers rise gently.
5. Sip slowly
Drink your cacao with presence.
Let each sip remind you of your purpose, your passion, your light.
Allow yourself to feel. To soften. To return to what matters.
6. Write it down
Grab your journal and write down what came through. Let it be a stream of consciousness or a list of intentions. Some prompts you can explore:
- A clear intention for this next moon cycle
- A personal affirmation
- A vision for what you want to embody
- What you are leaving behind
If nothing comes simply write how you feel.
7. Seal the ritual
Place your hands over your heart and take a final breath.
Say a closing mantra, like:
I am ready to step into my light
Thank the cacao, the fire, the moon, and yourself.
Leave your candle burning if it feels right.
Final thoughts:
This Leo new moon is not just a chance to begin again. It's an invitation to begin true.
Let this be your reset. Let cacao guide you home to your body, your heart, and your courage.
The world doesn’t need more noise. It needs more love.
Your light matters. Your truth matters.
May this ritual reconnect you to both.
