Horoscope: what the July 24 new moon in Leo will mean for your star sign

With the Leo New Moon rising on Thursday, July 24th, a fresh scene is set - and it might awaken long-buried desires you never expected. What if your craving for feeling truly alive isn’t a distraction, but the map? What if restraint was never the virtue, just the veil?

Right now, you’ll be tempted to perform your confidence, to make it palatable. But Leo dares itself to make the most radical creative act. And dares again. Creativity and romance (Leo’s sacred devotions) aren’t hobbies or pastimes under this sky. They’re lifelines. Portals. The way we remember who we are when the world tries to flatten us. Luxuriate your day, by adorning the ordinary with small rituals of beauty.

Aries: shout your desires from the rooftop

Under this cosmic weather, a fierce and irresistible fire stirs within you. An urge so powerful it demands your full attention. You may find yourself craving the freedom to create boldly, to play with reckless abandon, and to pursue whatever lights your soul on fire without hesitation. Don’t bother with carefully calculated plans. Whatever dreams or desires have been whispering at the edges of your mind, they want to be shouted from the rooftops now.

Taurus: romance will appear in subtle ways

Surprisingly, you may find romance appearing in subtle, unexpected ways, or a gentle creative impulse that brings warmth and light into your day. Resist the urge to control the outcome; instead, be present with delight as it unfolds naturally. Sometimes, the most profound transformations come not from force, but from surrendering to simple moments of sweetness.

Gemini: be open to adventures

Conversations take on a playful, flirtatious tone, and your curiosity is a magnet for new experiences. Romance can surprise you with fresh energy, and creative projects may find new direction through collaboration or improvisation. Keep your heart light and your spirit adventurous. When you play with openness, magic tends to follow.

Cancer: vulnerability is your super power

As a water sign your emotions run deep, but today they are calling you to step into the spotlight with courage and authenticity. There is strength in showing your true self, especially in creative expression or matters of the heart. Vulnerability becomes your secret power, drawing others toward your sincerity and depth. Embrace your role as both creator and muse, and trust that your genuine presence will inspire others to do the same.

Leo: it’s your glow-up season so be fierce, be playful

Virgo: don’t be afraid of failure

Perfection can take a backseat today so you can lean into the messy beauty of creative and romantic exploration. Let go of the need for everything to be “just so,” and allow yourself to experiment without fear of failure or judgment. There’s power in spontaneity, in the unexpected turns that challenge your usual careful control. This openness may lead to surprising breakthroughs or moments of joy that feel more alive precisely because they’re unpolished. Sometimes, the most authentic magic is found in what’s beautifully flawed.

Libra: it’s all about connection and balance

Harmony and connection feel like a magnetic force today, especially in creative collaborations and matters of the heart. You’re drawn toward partnerships that elevate your vision and add layers of beauty and meaning to your life. This energy supports elegant expression and thoughtful gestures that create balance and delight. But don’t forget to let your own voice shine within these connections; true harmony comes when both individuality and union are honoured.

Scorpio: be raw, be honest

You might feel this urgent need to dive deep into what truly moves you, so you can push yourself to take bold creative risks, to break free from old styles or fears that have been holding you back. When you let yourself be raw and honest in your expression, something almost magical happens. Don’t be afraid of the intensity; it’s often the spark that leads to your most powerful breakthroughs.

Sagittarius: be free! Let your imagination run wild

Your adventurous spirit is fully ignited, encouraging you to seek new experiences that expand your creative and romantic horizons. Freedom in expression is your mantra today and in the real world it looks like exploring a new hobby or simply allowing your imagination to run wild. There’s a youthful, playful energy that invites you to step out of routine and into possibility. Remember, the world is vast and full of wonder, and today you’re reminded to explore it with wide eyes and a fearless heart.

Aquarius: break out of old patterns and see the world through a new lens

Pisces: can you find a way to bring creativity to your work?

As your workday begins, the usual routine is lit anew, like a festival of possibility spilling color across a gray landscape. The tasks are laid out before you, and the question arises: how can this ordinary grind become something alive?
