Introduction to Leo New Moon August 2025
Hi my loveI’m so honoured you’re here with me today because this isn’t just any episode… this is a little sneak peek into something I’ve been pouring my heart into: the pre‑work I created for my Recharge and Renew Retreat happening around the Lions Gate Portal. Shout to the beautiful women I cannot wait to be with you in Bali at the end of next week!Now, if you’ve been with me for a while or maybe you’re new here (hi!), you know the Leo New Moon carries this luminous energy ... it’s playful, magnetic, and fiercely self‑loving. Oh by the way can you tell I am a leo rising!? As we stand here mid year, it’s the perfect moment to check in with yourself, to plant fresh intentions, and to remember that you are allowed to take up space, shine brightly, and build the life that feels like yours.Just before we dive in, I have to say: Recharge and Renew Retreat officially sold out a little while back and oh my goodness, my heart is so full! But don’t worry, I do have a few limited spaces left for Radiance, which takes place end of September 29th to October 4th retreat. So if you’ve been feeling the nudge to join me in person and step fully into your brilliance, now is the time to reach out. I would love to see you there.

This isn’t about pretending to be confident or putting on some huge performance. It’s about figuring out what actually matters to you and having the guts to lean into that, even if it feels uncomfortable.When you think about lions, they don’t walk around trying to prove they’re powerful—they just are. That’s the kind of energy this time of year can inspire. Instead of chasing validation or getting caught up in noise and drama, ask yourself: what would it look like to simplify things? To strip away the stuff that doesn’t feel real anymore?
Pluto Tension in August 2025
Now, it’s not all smooth sailing. Pluto’s position means a lot of us are feeling a bit of tension or pressure. Maybe it’s a conflict with someone, or maybe it’s an internal tug‑of‑war you’ve been ignoring. That heavy feeling that something needs to change? That’s not random. It’s a nudge to take a hard look at your boundaries, your choices,
