Leo Waxing Moon

Claiming Visibility, Creative Leadership, and Confident Action

The Waxing Moon is the phase where intentions begin to ask for expression in the real world.

You’ve planted the seed at the New Moon. Now the Moon is growing brighter, and what you set in motion wants to be seen, shaped, and strengthened through action. Growth no longer happens quietly. It happens through engagement.

When the Waxing Moon moves through Leo, the invitation is to step into the heart of what matters to you and express it boldly. This is a time to lead with creativity, take up space intentionally, and let yourself be visible without apology.

Leo reminds you that growth accelerates when you allow yourself to shine.

Why the Waxing Moon Matters

The Waxing Moon supports:

• Momentum

• Refinement

• Active participation in what you’re creating

Look back at your New Moon intentions and choose one or two that stick out. Notice where your language may be vague or cautious. Leo energy thrives on clarity and confidence.

Ask yourself in your journal:

• What deserves more of my attention and energy?

• Where am I ready to be seen or acknowledged?

• What would change if I led with courage rather than restraint?

Leo Energy: Creative, Brave, Self-Expressive

Leo is a fire sign associated with creativity, confidence, and personal leadership. When the Moon is in Leo, there is a natural desire to express yourself, be recognized, and celebrate what you’ve accomplished.

Leo energy supports:

• Creative expression

• Visibility

• Generosity

• Authentic leadership

On an upward-spiral Leo is warm, confident, and inspiring. When on a downward-spiral, Leo shrinks back out of fear of judgment or seek approval instead of self-trust. The Waxing Moon helps channel Leo energy into purposeful expression instead of ego performance.

The Mood of the Leo Moon

When the Moon is in Leo, the tone is:

• Expressive

• Confident

• Energized

• Heart-centered

This is a good time to:

• Share your work publicly

• Celebrate progress

• Acknowledge your efforts and others’

• Wear something that makes you feel confident

• Speak up about what you want or need

Leo understands that being seen is not vanity. It is participation.

Working With the Waxing Moon in Leo

Leo invites you to strengthen your intentions through visible action.

Consider:

• Where am I holding back my voice or creativity?

• What leadership role am I ready to claim?

• What action would help me feel proud of myself?

This is also a powerful time to look at habits. Leo is a fixed sign, which means actions taken now can easily turn into routines. Choose behaviors that support confidence.

Turning Leo Energy Into SMART Goals

Leo thrives when goals feel meaningful and motivating. During this Waxing Moon, choose a goal that supports visibility, creativity, or leadership.

Use the YesSpiral SMART Goal framework to refine one intention.

SMART Goals, the YesSpiral Way

Specific

What are you ready to express, share, or lead?

Measurable

What shows you are being seen or taking action?

Attainable

What confident action can you realistically take?

Relevant

Why does this goal matter to your sense of purpose or identity?

Timed

Choose a container:

• One moonth

• One season

• One New Moon to Full Moon cycle

• One year

Leo prefers timelines that allow momentum and celebration.

Example

Instead of:

“I want to be more confident.”

Try:

“I will share one piece of my work publicly each week for the next moonth and acknowledge my progress at the end of the cycle.”

Visible. Empowering. Leo-approved.
