The new moon of 24 July 2025 forms at 19:11 UTC, with the Moon and Sun together at 2°08' Leo. The Moon is 376,294 km from Earth. Three outer planets make tight aspects: Saturn and Neptune trine the lunation within 0.3 and 0.1 degrees, and Pluto opposes it within 0.5 degrees. Mercury, Saturn, Neptune and Pluto are retrograde, and there is no eclipse.
Leo is a fixed fire sign ruled by the Sun, and the tradition ties it to creativity, play, generosity and being seen. Astrologers read a new moon here as a fresh start for self-expression. The trines from Saturn and Neptune are taken to give that start both structure and imagination, while Pluto's opposition is read as pressure from others or from circumstances. A modest suggestion: begin one creative project for its own sake.
