Shadow Work for the Leo New Moon
Need some inspiration for working with today’s New Moon?
Try these journal prompts for exploring some of your Shadow Archetypes:
THE TYRANT
Where do I feel the strongest need to be “right”?
Where do I try to control how others see me or my story?
What narrative do I tell that might not be 100% true?
THE WHORE
Where am I selling myself out—my voice, my truth, my safety—for attention, money, or power?
What’s one place I can reclaim my self-respect today?
THE FOOL
Where have I pretended not to know better… but I did?
What did I ignore because I didn’t want to feel the consequences?
THE VICTIM
Where am I still clinging to a “poor me” story?
What part of the pain am I afraid to take responsibility for?

"I see you. I hear you. You don’t have to run the show anymore."
Shadow work isn’t a one-night stand with your trauma—it’s a long-term love affair with your wholeness.
