New Moon in Leo Ritual for Courage and Passion

A New Moon in Leo Ritual for Courage and Passion

Unleashing Inner Strength

As the New Moon in Leo peaks today, I feel the powerful energies of courage, determination, and passion stirring within me. I know this is the perfect time to connect with my inner strength and let my radiant love shine out to my family, community, and the collective. I set up my sacred space with intention, ready to embrace my worthiness, fueled by the passion of my ancestors, the fierce power of divine feminine energy, and the protective forces that guard my spirit.

I prepare my altar with care, placing a red candle and a yellow candle at the center. Surrounding them with sprigs of rosemary, sunflower petals, and cinnamon sticks, I create a circle of intention. I add a few drops of jasmine essential oil, its fragrance filling the air and enhancing the spiritual atmosphere. I place my citrine crystal at the forefront, knowing its energy will empower me.

Sitting comfortably in front of my altar, I take several deep breaths, inhaling the scent of rosemary and jasmine. I visualize a golden light surrounding me, representing my inner strength and love. I am ready to begin.

I light the red candle, saying aloud, I ignite the passion and love within me.

As the flame flickers to life, I feel warmth spreading through my heart.

I light the yellow candle, declaring, I ignite the courage and determination within me.

The light grows brighter, mirroring the fire within my spirit.

Closing my eyes, I place my hands over my heart, feeling the presence of those who came before me, their wisdom guiding me, and the fierce, protective energy of the ancient ones. I speak the incantation with conviction:

May I have the continued growing capacity to love myself more. May I always have the awareness, space, grace, and will to return to me. I am fueled by the passion of my ancestors, the fierce power of divine feminine energy, and the protective forces that guard my spirit.

I take the rosemary sprigs and sunflower petals, holding them gently in my hands. Whispering my intentions of self-love and worthiness into the herbs, I feel their energy merging with mine. I place them around the base of the candles, creating a sacred circle of intention.

Lighting a cinnamon stick from the flame of the red candle, I waft the smoke around my body. The sweet, spicy scent fills the air, and I visualize a protective barrier forming around me, seeing the strength and love of the Universe shielding me.

I say, I am protected and loved. My heart is safe and strong.

Holding the citrine crystal in my hands, I feel its empowering energy infuse my being. The crystal warms in my palm, a tangible reminder of the inner strength and abundance I carry. I visualize myself radiating confidence and power, like the Sun in Leo.

I affirm, I am worthy of the love I desire. I am the love I desire. This powerful force within me, is me.

I sit in quiet contemplation, allowing the energy of the candles, herbs, and crystal to permeate my being. I feel the strength of the lioness within, embodying the courage to face any challenge and the determination to pursue my passions. The warmth of the candles reminds me of the love that flows endlessly from within me, a love that grows stronger each day.

As I breathe deeply, I feel a shift in the air around me. The presence of my ancestors becomes more palpable, their voices whispering words of wisdom and encouragement. I embrace the fierce power of the divine feminine energy, feeling her rise within me, unyielding and protective. The protective forces, like vigilant guardians, surround me, ensuring my heart and spirit remain safe.

I reflect on moments in my life where I sought external validation, feeling the sting of disappointment when things did not go my way. I realize now that these experiences are opportunities for growth, guiding me back to my center. I exhale the need to control the outcome, trusting that my worth and love are inherent and not dependent on external factors.

With each breath, I feel lighter, more connected to my true self. When I feel triggered and in any form of not-me energy, I always know how to safely return to myself. I am safe to experience this. I am cultivating and strengthening my emotional resilience, able to face everything that comes my way with grace. The love I have for myself is my anchor, my guiding force. I know that I can always return to this place of inner strength and peace. The energies of my ancestors, the divine feminine, and the protective forces continue to support me, their presence a comforting embrace.

Gotye’s Hearts A Mess and My New Moon Ritual

As I reflect on the powerful energies stirred during my New Moon ritual, I find myself drawn to Gotye’s song Hearts A Mess. This song resonates deeply with the themes of my ritual, providing a musical backdrop that amplifies the emotional and spiritual depth of my practice. The lyrics speak to my journey of vulnerability, emotional turmoil, and transformation, aligning perfectly with the intentions I set.

Lyrics and Themes

• Pick apart the pieces of your heart / And let me peer inside
• Let me in where only your thoughts have been
• And your tears, they fall like rain
• Your heart’s a mess / You won’t admit to it / It makes no sense / But I’m desperate to connect
