🌑 Leo New Moon Ritual: Light the Flame
You’ll need:
A candle
A mirror (handheld or bathroom mirror)
Paper + pen
Optional: sunstone, citrine, or tiger’s eye
✨ Step-by-Step Ritual
Step 1: Create the Space
Light your candle. Dim the lights or step outside under the stars. Gently gaze at the flame and invite your inner light to awaken.
Say aloud:
“I honour the fire within.
I am ready to remember who I am.”
Step 2: Mirror Activation
Look into the mirror. Not to inspect, critique, or judge — but to see. See the woman who’s made it through so much. The woman who is still here.
Hold your gaze and say aloud (or whisper):
“You are worthy of joy.
You are worthy of being seen.
Your voice, your art, your truth… it matters.”
Step 3: Set Fire-Hearted Intentions
Write 3–5 intentions that align with this Leo energy. Use phrases like:
“I choose to…”
“I allow myself to…”
“I am ready to…”
“I now embody…”
Example:
I allow myself to be fully seen, without shrinking.
I lead from love, not fear.
I express my truth with clarity and courage.
🧡 Journal Prompts
Where have I been dimming my light out of fear of rejection or judgment?
What does joy look like when I stop performing?
How do I want to lead — in my life, work, and relationships?
What bold desire am I ready to claim?
🌱 Integration Practice
Each morning for the next week, stand in front of the mirror and say one of your intentions out loud. Let it anchor in your body.
And each night, ask yourself:
“Did I honour my light today?”
Even the smallest yes is enough.
🌑 Final Reflection
Leo reminds us that leadership isn’t about power over others.
It’s about owning your energy, radiating your truth, and leading your life from the heart.
You don’t have to shout to be seen.
You just have to stop hiding.
