Find your RISING SIGN to see where authenticity must erupt and performance must die ↓
Hey cosmic souls,
Yesterday's New Moon at 2° Leo (July 24, 2025) wasn't your average fresh start—opposing Pluto retrograde at 2° Aquarius, it felt more like a full moon showdown, dredging up hidden truths and forcing a timeline split.
Here's the deal: Leo's fiery energy calls us to shine authentically, express our creativity, and step into the spotlight of our truth. But Pluto, the planet of transformation, power, and deep change, throws in sacred discomfort: old fears, control issues, and survival strategies must go.
This isn't about superficial glow-ups—it's a purge of what no longer aligns, splitting paths between staying stuck in performance and embracing raw emergence.
My Personal Portal (And Why This Matters)
From my lens (Virgo Rising with a Scorpio stellium), this hit my 12th house of hidden realms, urging me to release validation-seeking and lean into embodied authenticity . The message was clear: stop overthinking, start breathing. Stop performing, start being.
But this lunation affects everyone differently based on your rising sign (ASC)—it lands in a specific house for you, opposing Pluto in the opposite house. Think of it as a cosmic tug-of-war between who you're becoming and what you're leaving behind.

"One authentic heart can shift thousands."

The Timeline Choice Is Yours
This Leo-Pluto opposition isn't playing games. It's showing us exactly where we've been performing instead of living, where we've chosen safety over truth, where we've dimmed our light to avoid triggering others.
The split is happening whether we're ready or not. The only question is: Which timeline will you choose?
Remember, cosmic soul—your authenticity isn't just personal. It's revolutionary. Every time you choose truth over performance, you give others permission to do the same.
With cosmic love and shadow-to-star transformation,
Nyambura ✨
