Get ready to roar as the New Moon in Leo ignites your spirit on August 4th! This fiery lunation is a cosmic invitation to step into your personal power, embrace your creativity, and radiate your unique brilliance. Leo, ruled by the Sun, is a sign of passion, courage, and self-expression. This New Moon is an opportunity to ignite your inner fire, set bold intentions, and embrace your authentic self.

To help you harness the energy of this transformative New Moon, Kelley Knight has crafted a special ritual and tarot spread designed to guide you on your journey of self-discovery and empowerment.

Leo ROAR Ritual

Not all magic happens sitting quietly in ritual. For millennia, alchemy has occurred through transmutation via dancing and music. It's a potent way to transform ourselves even now.

For this ritual, find a quiet spot where you can dance, sing, and let loose. It's all about turning negative emotions and stagnancy into confidence and self-worth.

Pick a song that really fires you up—like Katy Perry’s "Roar," which is my personal anthem for feeling strong and unstoppable—it talks about fire and lions, all those Leo-like themes. If you don’t like my suggestion, choose your own power track that makes you feel like the hero of your story and totally badass.

Supplies:

• Mirror 
• Candle
• Match (preferably but a light will do)
• Music playing device
• Suggested track: Roar by Katie Perry
• Paper
• Pen 
• Safe place to burn paper

Steps to Follow:

1. Set Up Your Space:

Find a private area where you can sing and dance in front of a mirror. Gather all your supplies and bring them into this space.

2. Begin with Breath Awareness:

Sit down and establish a meditative rhythm of breathing that helps you relax. As you inhale and exhale, connect with the sensations of feeling small, withholding your voice, and believing you're not worthy. Take this time to deeply acknowledge these feelings.

3. Write a Letter to Release: 

Address the Universe (or your chosen entity) with: "I am 100% aligned and connected to Spirit and Grace on all levels and dimensions. Today, I fully release..." Write down all the negative feelings, beliefs, and thoughts you are determined to leave behind right now. Be thorough and let your emotions flow freely. Then, fold the letter and put it aside for now.

4. Activate Your Power Song:

Play your chosen power song and let the music move through you. Allow your body to sway, dance and sing along. If you're not immediately feeling the impact, replay the song a few times until you do. The more you feel it, the better the results of this ritual will be.

5. Embrace Positive Energy:

Fully immerse yourself in the music. Look into the mirror and declare the song and the uplifting emotions it evokes as your anthem and commitment to leaving behind feelings of low self-worth. Own the moment and step into your greatness.

6. Activate the Candle:

Pick up a candle of your choice and hold it in your hand. Channel the positive energy you've cultivated into the candle, envisioning or feeling the energy flowing from your heart into the candle.

7. Ignite the Candle:

Decide where to keep the candle for the next few days and light the candle with a match. As it ignites, say aloud, "I allow my light to burn bright. It is done. It is done. It is done."

8. Let the Candle Burn:    

Allow the candle to burn down completely, even if it takes several days. If you need to extinguish it temporarily, relight it when you're home.

9. Release and Scatter:    

Go outside and burn the letter containing what you're releasing. Safely scatter the ashes while affirming aloud, "I release. I release. I release. So it is. So it is. So it is."

Following these steps will guide you through a transformative ritual to empower yourself and let go of negative emotions, embracing a renewed sense of confidence and self-worth.
