I wrote about the tarot cards associated with Leo in a previous Leo New Moon blog post. You can find it here.
The best way to make your intentions into a reality is by dedicating time to them. Every new moon I take out my journal, set my intentions, do my tarot spread, and revisit it. I reflect on where I was, where I am, and where I'm going. I find this introspection brings me clarity on how to move forward. It also helps with synchronicity because the Universe knows what I want.
