Happy Magickal, Musical, Muscular, Moony, Manifesting Monday!
Sorry there was no reading last week, but I retore my quad again and I will say – I was fucking foul!
Thus, when my guides and I had a chat about the reading they laughed at me and advised me I was too toxic to share with others (rude!)
I have had a lot of conversations over the last few weeks with clients and friends about “Simplicity”, peeling away all the superficial artifices and really tapping into values, beliefs, creativity and living in a much simpler, more authentic way of life.
A more aligned way of living. Aligned with our heart and soul.
We get so conditioned that we have to do things a certain way and we “should” (frigging hate that word), have these things and be this way. But why if it doesn’t bring us joy?
What if we spent more time remembering to play, to pause and to be real with all facets of ourselves?
That is the energy of this gorgeous New Moon in Leo this week.
“The Leo New Moon on July 24, 2025, is our invitation to stop overcomplicating things.
With the Lion as our spirit guide, we’re being called back to simplicity. This is a time to bring ease into our lives.
It’s a time to remember who you are when you stop trying so hard to be everything to everyone. It’s a time to embrace your inner Lion and the strength, confidence, and presence it commands.
Both Pluto and Eris will be stirring tension under this New Moon, inviting challenges around power and control, but there is a breakthrough on offer if we are willing to let go and invite simplicity.
Leo energy is about heart, courage, and authenticity. There’s nothing small about Leo. Yet, contrary to the drama and grandeur often associated with this sign, the highest vibration of Leo is simplicity. Like the lion, who doesn’t try to prove its power, we are being asked to strip back the noise and return to what’s real and essential.
With so much energy around control and power dynamics stirring under this New Moon, we are being called to look at how we may be micromanaging our situations, routines, habits, relationships, or even our spiritual practice. This Moon reminds us that the more we try to grip, the more we lose our freedom and the further out of alignment we travel.
If we think of the Lion, we can see there is a quiet confidence in simplicity. No need to prove, push, or perfect, just being is enough. This is the heart of Leo wisdom, and tapping into this can help us navigate the harsher energies of this New Moon.”
So how can you Simplify things right now?
What needs to be pruned or put to the side?
I like to think of Simplifying as gardening.
In other words, there are things that are growing in my garden that shouldn’t really be there as they are crowding out all the things that were planted with purpose.
So I gently pull them out, give them a blessing and toss them in the compost!
Life is the same.
And on that note let’s crack on with the reading shall we?
Thus my gorgeous one, take a moment. Just let your breath naturally slow down, relax your shoulders and jaw. As you start to relax I invite you to see in your mind’s eye the energy of Simplicity and the power of the Lion. What do you want to keep? What do you want to release? If you need a little more support dropping into that energy I have a lovely little guided visualisation for you.
Then, when you’re ready, pick the card or cards that make you tingle and get curious.
Did you remember to pick?
Then let’s go have a good gander shall we?
LITTLE OWLYN
Wisdom is not heavy, harsh, or cruelly given. Wisdom is as simple as being open and ready to receive – and if you are ready, if you have decided that you are worthy and willing to learn, this great horned owl, my other self, wishes for me to give you a feather.
This feather is a talisman of magick, of wisdom that endures and can be applied again and again. Its power and wisdom will never run dry or fail to speak words of wisdom to you when you hold it in your mind’s eye. The tide will go in and out, but this featherlight piece of wisdom remains with the golden sun, and this wisdom will never fade or grow into a heavy burden, as some knowledge does.
You will wonder what to do at times, because things have changed. But this soft wisdom will speak to you again, and you will find your way. Wisdom is not heavy, crushing, or forceful. This is the truth – this wisdom is soft, light, and to be treasured. It is our gift to you now. Stay still. Give us your hand. And feel the gift that we wish to share with you. Feel the wisdom flow into you. Ahhhhh, lightness.
You will be able now to see more clearly, even when there is no light around you. Night will hold no fears for you. You will hear clearly what people are truly saying when they are speaking with you – their words’ true meanings will be utterly apparent immediately. You will be able to move suddenly and grasp your fate quickly when this helpful being comes to share your life – she is both faery and owl, a shapeshifter in form, and as swift and clear as the rain.
BROTHER RACCOON
Raccoons speak of stealth, remaining undercover, and flying under the radar. Raccoons suggest you take cover, work with camouflage, and stay in the in-between places for a time in order to remain safe. Do not reveal who you are, what you do, or your new idea or project to all. Too often we share what we are planning out loud, giving all, even ourselves, the impression it is already done. It is not.
It needs careful protection, but mostly you need to not draw attention. It does not mean you have to be furtive or sneaky, though some will call it so. It means to quietly get on with your day-to-day and the very soulful business of change without showing everyone every detail along the way. You have far to go – at this early stage it is not advisable to share all. There is a sacred part of you that must be protected, for it could easily be exhausted and exploited by those who will be very quick – even quicker than you – to recognise the value of what you have.
In order to survive, sometimes you must hide, camouflage, or mask yourself from those who would know our true nature and exploit you. Like a precious plant when snow falls, you must go underground, huddle in your seed, and keep quiet and safe from those who would take you and cultivate you and your amazing self for their own reasons.
This is not a time to allow yourself to be used by others for their own agendas.
Do not think of this hiding or melting into the forest as cowardice; it is wise to go to ground for a time now. In order for you, your ancestry, your bloodline, and anything cherished and rare to live on, you sometimes must hide it away for a time, bringing it forward later so that you flourish.
ORCA MAGICK
Orcas are the brilliant, physical, living reservoirs of Earth and galactic history. They are the carriers of wizards on their backs, according to Norse myth, meaning they carry the great sage lines of transformation and transmutation, and can pass this lore along.
They hold this history in the patterns of their ancient songs.
One day we will translate the songs and understand our own past times. Their bodies, those huge, resonating cavities, store the history of the planet herself. They travel the world’s oceans, singing, clearing, and awakening the energy grid again and again, preserving, reviving, renewing ancestral lines that need to be in place for this planet to be whole and well, now and in the future.
Earth is currently undergoing a vast initiation. Some have called this an ascension, although what it truly is has nothing to do with high or low, but with an integration of more dimensions, fully awakening your DNA and charging your auric field to a more powerful capacity. Healing, materialising into new forms, and creating will be greatly enhanced at this time.
You are a keeper of galactic mysteries and you have a strong starperson connection. Starpeople are connected to the growing need to connect to the galactic web, which we are a vital part of. It is time to take yourself outside and gaze up into the night sky. Learn about the constellations you can view from your home. Tune in to the worlds beyond this world, and ask that they connect with you in healthful ways.
Whales can assist with intergalactic travel (without physically leaving the planet), seal and repair any wounds or tears in your energy field, and return to you the parts of your soul that you may be unaware are even missing.
Wow, wow, wow. What gorgeous guides to help us with this glorious New Moon. Sending you massive hugs and squeezes. Be gentle with yourself and take the time to peel back the stuff that you’ve taken on without realising it.
