Navigating the Energetic Tides: A Guide to Setting Intentions for the Leo New Moon

Published on: 23rd May, 2026

The primary focus of this episode centers on the significance of intention setting in conjunction with the upcoming Leo New Moon. As we navigate through a complex array of astrological energies, we must remain vigilant against the potential disruptions that may arise. Notably, the influence of Mercury suggests that communication could present challenges, while Mars enhances self-assurance, providing an opportunity to express oneself with dignity and respect. The emotional intensity of the Cancer Moon, in opposition to Pluto, underscores the potential for powerful interactions, which may lead to overreactions if one is not grounded. By the conclusion of our discussion, we aim to equip ourselves with the insights necessary to formulate our intentions wisely and effectively, thereby enhancing our personal growth and understanding.

A Friday transmission under a Cancer Moon, a Leo Sun, and a sky full of disruptive, truth‑revealing aspects. The Moon’s contact with Neptune blurs the line between dreams and waking life, while Mercury’s tension raises the risk of misunderstandings. Mars boosts confidence, but the Leo Sun squaring Uranus brings sudden disruptions, restlessness, and unexpected detours. A Moon–Pluto opposition intensifies emotions, and the Moon’s aspect to Mars makes overreactions easy. By day’s end, the triggers reveal exactly what your intentions should be for the coming Leo New Moon. A reminder that victory comes from halftime adjustments — you play to win the game.

PAUL HEATH

I am Paul. When I reflect back on my life, I was always interested in astrology. I would read my daily horoscope in the newspaper every day and often wonder, “how do they know?”
One day I was told I am a “cusp of beauty”, because my birthday was the last day of Virgo. I went home to research what cusp of beauty meant. My curiosity soared when finding out the meaning. I didn’t realize that I had just begun the journey of “Know Thyself.”
Learning how to read my natal chart I acquired the skills to assist others with deciphering their own chart-energy. Astrology has helped me understand and accept me for who I am. Although still work in progress, knowing about myself is surely making the process easier. I enjoy helping others (Virgo Sun) with the information I have gathered (Gemini Rising) that will help transform lives (Scorpio Moon) in a positive way.
I look forward to meeting and working with you as we embark on your journey.
