Angel Insights On The Lasting New Moon In Leo Energy (Music Tarot Reading)

This month’s New Moon occurred on Thursday, July 24th.

Both the moon and sun will be in Leo, magnifying this zodiac sign’s energy. Typical Leo traits like confidence, stubbornness, generosity, and jealousy are amplified in the collective (and especially in Leos and those with prominent or multiple Leo placements on their birth charts). This lunar event is always an ideal time for new beginnings, self-reflection, and setting intentions. But what does July’s New Moon have in store for you? Choose the song and lyrics below that resonate for a special New Moon message from your angels.

Song 1: “Here Comes the Moon” by George Harrison

Lyrics: “Looks like a little brother to the sun, or mother to the stars at night. And here it is, and here it comes, here comes the moon, the moon, the moon.”

Your Cards: 2 of Cups, 4 of Swords (reversed), Knight of Wands

The 2 of Cups tells me that, leading up to July’s New Moon, you’ve been experiencing blissful harmony in a close relationship. Perhaps you’ve found a new flame or rekindled the romance with your longtime lover, or you’re getting along particularly well with a friend, family member, or co-worker. 

The 4 of Swords indicates that you’ve been a bit isolated – perhaps you’ve been snuggling up with your loved one at home too much, instead of engaging with the rest of the world? But now, under the New Moon, your angels want you to know that it’s time to emerge from your cocoon. Although you may be comfy and cozy with your dear one, you’re missing out on new opportunities and connections. 

The Knight of Wands indicates that you’ll take this message to heart – you’re about to be very busy! Your angels promise a burst of energy and inspiration after the July New Moon. You’ll be full of passion and ready to take the lead on whatever excites you. Enjoy the restful period you’re in now, and get ready for action after the 24th!

Song 2: “To the Moon” by Meghan Trainor

Lyrics: “The girl of your dreams, baby that’s me. I’m outta this world, no gravity … My love’s gonna take you to the moon.”

Your Cards: 9 of Swords, Queen of Swords, 4 of Swords

The 9 of Swords tells me that you’ve been going through it – there has been a great deal of mental anguish and suffering. Perhaps you’ve been struggling with mental health issues or other significant challenges. Leading up to July’s New Moon, you haven’t been feeling emotionally well or quite like yourself.

The Queen of Swords provides the solution to your problem. Your angels are telling you that something needs to be cut out of your life in order for it to improve. Perhaps you already know what (or who) that is. If not, do some careful reflecting on what has been distressing you and draining your energy. Maybe it’s a job, relationship, living situation, or bad habit – but something negative in your life needs to go. July’s New Moon brings this situation to a head, and you can’t sit in misery any longer. Don’t be afraid to set and uphold firm boundaries. It is absolutely necessary for your wellbeing at this time.

The 4 of Swords promises that, once you make the necessary edits from your life, you will be rewarded with a wonderful period of rest and rejuvenation. Don’t expect to hit the ground running once you’ve cut something from your life – your angels are telling you that the next step is to relax. The situation weighing you down now has totally depleted you, and you’ve got to recharge your batteries before you embark on a fresh start. After the New Moon, allow yourself to rest and fully enjoy it without an ounce of guilt or pressure to be productive. A break is exactly what you need and, while rest never has to be “earned,” you certainly deserve it after all you’ve been through lately!

Song 3: “Mountains of the Moon” by Grateful Dead

Lyrics: “Cold mountain water, the jade merchant’s daughter. Mountains of the moon, Electra bow and bend to me. Hi ho the carrion crow, fol de rol de de riddle. Hi ho the carrion crow, bow and bend to me.”

Your Cards: 7 of Wands, The Star (reversed), King of Cups

The 7 of Wands shows me that you’ve been fighting significant battles leading up to July’s New Moon. You’ve had to defend yourself and the things that are important to you, to the point of frustration and exhaustion. But you haven’t given up, and your efforts have served not only to champion your cause but also to help you grow as a person.

In its reversed position, The Star indicates that July’s New Moon finds you feeling a bit hopeless. Perhaps you’re tired of fighting, and you’re struggling to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Your angels want to encourage you – you’re on the right path, and you have the persistence to keep going. You’ve pushed through tough obstacles in the past, and you can face this challenge, too. Things won’t always be this way; you’ve just got to stay the course for now. Seek comfort in a community of like-minded people, or be sure to schedule plenty of time for self-care and pleasure. Life doesn’t always have to be a struggle, and those little pockets of joy go a long way.

The King of Cups guarantees that this situation won’t remain the same forever – things will begin to improve shortly after the New Moon. You’ll find more emotional balance and start feeling much better. The upheaval you’re experiencing now will pass or be greatly reduced, leaving you with more focus, clarity, and peace. Your angels encourage you to hang in there – you’ve been fighting a great battle, and things will turn around soon.
