Scorpio, Leo Season begins this Tuesday the 22nd at 9:29am EST, activating your sector of career, reputation, and legacy for the next four weeks. But don’t expect to launch forward at full speed just yet — Mercury is already retrograde in this same zone, and we’re building up to the Leo New Moon on Thursday the 24th. This week is less about new beginnings and more about clearing space for the future you’re calling in. You’re not meant to overachieve right now. You’re meant to recalibrate.
As the week begins, the dark moon phase dominates the skies. Monday through Wednesday may feel emotionally and energetically dense, as if your soul is whispering: “Enough.” Enough overextending. Enough tolerating environments or collaborations that drain you. Enough pretending you’re okay with systems that have been breaking you down. You’ll feel more sensitive to power dynamics, gossip, or performative energy. Trust those gut instincts. It’s a cosmic cue to purge old photos, lingering emails, financial clutter, unfinished tasks… whatever needs to be energetically composted.
Then the Leo New Moon arrives on Thursday at 3:11pm EST, offering you a bold, necessary reset. But because we’re still in retrograde season (Saturn, Neptune, Pluto, and Mercury all retrograde), this isn’t about starting something brand new out of nowhere. It’s about returning to what you’ve meant to do — the creative ideas or career shifts that have been quietly waiting in the background. The ones you’ve procrastinated on. The ones that scare you a little because they matter so much. Set an intention under this new moon: What are six things you’d like to accomplish professionally by the end of the year? Even if you focus on one per month, you’ll be surprised by how much changes within the next six months. Imagine yourself already “there”, and watch my New Moon Mantra visual as you set your new moon intentions.
This week also marks the final full week of Venus in Gemini, a placement that’s had your love life in a bit of a “choose your own adventure” phase. You might be juggling multiple connections, hearing from people from your past, or flirting with the idea of rekindling something that once felt done. But with Neptune and Saturn also retrograde, discernment is key. You’re not obligated to reply just because someone has access to you. You’re allowed to take space, to observe, to breathe. In fact, this is the week to practice healthy non-attachment in love — not out of fear, but from a place of self-trust and emotional sovereignty. Yes, you can be crushing on someone (or more than one person), but there’s no need for it to spiral into full-on obsession. How can you indulge in the possibility of romance without being consumed by the need for it? Reflect on that this week and you’ll feel much more grounded and emotionally mature as you navigate your romantic inclinations.
