New Moon in Leo, July 24, 2025, 2:11 PM CDT (7:11 PM UTC)
The New Moon begins the cycle that leads to the Full Sturgeon Moon, August 9, 2025. In the days of our Native American ancestors, it was a Time of plenty. Today it’s a cautionary tale. Sturgeon populations have been diminished by those who harvested their roe. Known as the “Sea Butter of Caviar,” by the source I found sells for $75.00 USD per ounce.
In China, the month is observed as the Hungry Ghost moon cycle. Hungry ghost is a term in Buddhism, and Chinese traditional religion, representing beings who are driven by intense emotional needs in an animalistic way. The International Buddhist Society describes people who have fallen into the realm of hungry ghosts are “those who abused their power, greedy, stingy, dishonest, unkind, deceitful, and indulged in lust and killing. We must pay close attention to our thoughts and actions, and stay on the right path to avoid committing bad karma and suffer from the retribution of bad consequences.”
Beware the Hungry Ghosts!

Galactic Tone 13: Ascension; Thirteen assists us to go to the next higher step, propels us to try something new or to try again. Thirteen energy takes us over the next mountain just to see what is there. Thirteen carries the last success to the newest effort. Thirteen is a number associated with the Ascended Masters, creation, expansion, and manifestation.
Flint/ETZNAB: Mirror of reality. As a struck flint, these persons are the divine sparks of intelligence. Flint’s innate abilities are utilized to discriminate emotions from fact. Flint persons stand tireless to protect, defend, or cure others by personal sacrifice. By courageously wielding the sword of truth, falsehoods are cut away. Flints, it was said, can receive information on inter-personal troubles or evil plots of others by reflecting in an obsidian mirror. Their valiant service as warriors of the truth must be impeccable or they will experience sufferings of accidents, misunderstandings and gossip.
A GOOD DAY TO: Spend time in reflection and introspection.
Cherokee, Flint/DAWI’SGALA: Opener of the Way, a creator, innovator, stretches the mind to outside limits of capabilities. Changes the static to the dynamic. Brings about change, often through separation and destruction. Beams the Stellar Ray of Truth to Earth as a crystal sword cast down along the path of a lightning flash. The transformer brings things to a head and wipes the slate clean.
