(Written on 7/22/2025 for 7/24/2025)
Today, is July 22nd, and I decided for two reasons to write the Moon Scope today instead of Thursday, the 24th. So, right now as we’re speaking at 6:39 p.m., the Sun has just left Cancer and crossed over into Leo. According to our Tropical Zodiac, the Sun is currently on the 0 degree of the Lion.
Today, the 22nd of July, is also the Feast Day for Saint Mary Magdalene, so this is a very important day all the way around, especially if you have Leo rising. The Sun is changing signs from Cancer to Leo, Saint Mary is being celebrated, and the new lunar phase begins Thursday in Leo.
On top of that, Ozzy Osbourne died today, and he joins a very long list of famous people who died on 7/22, which includes John Dillinger, Estelle Getty, Dennis Farina, and Rose Fitzgerald, mother of former United States President, John Kennedy.
Okay, let’s get into it.
Good evening! It’s July 22nd, and we have a brand-new lunar cycle beginning in Leo. Leo is the fifth sign of the zodiac, and he rules the astrological Fifth House. The Fifth House is about love, creativity, and fun. It’s the house of pleasure, and more specifically, pleasure in the short term.
After reading that description, you might develop the assumption that the Fifth House is far from dangerous, and while it might not be the Den of Lions that Daniel entered, the Fifth House can be a very deceiving place.
For example, you might go out dancing this weekend. While in your favorite nightclub, your best friend pressures you to take a pill, you do, and you end up liking the feeling so much that you ask your friend to have one pill on hand for whenever you decide to go out dancing.
The next thing you know, you start taking the pills all the time, even when you’re not dancing, and you end up with an addiction. Dangerous.
The Fifth House also rules gambling and games of chance, but there’s a difference between someone who goes to the casino once in a while to bet a portion of his saved money, and the person who is addicted to gambling. The person who’s addicted to gambling can lose everything they’ve earned, and then some, and of course, there’s the situation of owing money. Dangerous.
One person is having fun, and the other person turned a good time into a nightmare. I’ve quoted the Devil before, but I should do it again. “Everything in moderation less the enjoyment fade,” said the Devil.
As you can see, the Fifth House can be a fun place. Gambling once in a while and taking a pill when you go out dancing, well, that’s short-term pleasure.
Leo is a fixed fire sign, and we can be feeling a little stubborn emotionally as this new moon arrives. Take time to be alone for at least an hour. Pray, meditate, or go for a walk, it doesn’t matter as long as you’re free from interruptions for at least an hour.
During this time, start thinking about how you could bring more sunshine, more laughter, and more good times into your life. As the Sun moves from Cancer to Leo, we might be feeling pressure to break out of our shells, and within the emotional realm of the Moon, we might be all over the place. We could literally be at war with ourselves as we contemplate breaking out of ruts and routines.
We could be battling fear, shyness, or getting over someone or something we’ve cared so strongly about. Be careful here because the dark side of Leo can manifest as laziness and self-indulgence. In our despair, we might even become overbearing or start bullying others to hide our own fears.
Take things slowly. As you meditate or bask in the rays of the summer sun, remind yourself, Leo is ruled by the Sun. The Sun gives us will power, vitality, energy, and nutrients. We are in full control of our lives, and more importantly, we’re in full control when it comes to who and what we decide to give life to by where we choose to concentrate our focus.
Leo loves the spotlight. Forget about what people are saying, forget about your age, and forget about all the excuses you’ve been telling yourself. Leo is brave and expansive. Take a short trip or a vacation. Go out to the local eatery for dinner or lunch, have a drink, and enjoy yourself.
Be open to conversations and meeting new people. Leo rules the heart, and the summertime is a fun-loving time. Let your heart lead the way forward.
Leo is regal and kingly, so eat, drink, and be merry. There’s no better way to begin this new lunar phase and the Sun’s entry into Leo than by getting out of the house and having fun. Think exuberance and extravagance. Dress up, get a haircut, look beautiful, turn heads, and get the attention you seek. You’ll be happy you did.
The ruby is the lucky stone right now, and everything else that’s connected to Leo and the Sun will help you resonate with this magnificent energy right now.
Citrus fruits, felines, gold, Sunday, Rome, and Hollywood.
Up until the time of full moon, which is August 9th, we will be entering the lion’s den. For us, the lion’s den is the event or the night out that we’ve been avoiding because of fear, worry, doubt, shyness, or a lack of self-confidence. We’re going to be brave enough to enter the lion’s den, we’re going to have fun, and we’re going to let it catapult us into a new direction that’s filled with joy and happiness.
You know, I almost forgot. Leo in the Fifth House also rules procreation and children. The lion’s den could actually be the decision to finally have children?! Interesting.
Have a blessed night!
