Manifest with the Moon

New Moon in Leo - Wednesday 12th August 2026, 6:36pm (BST)

Experience a completely different kind of New Moon as the New Moon in Leo aligns with a powerful Solar Eclipse, creating an energetic moment that isn't about setting more intentions, writing another list of desires or deciding exactly what you want your future to look like.

In fact, this time, we're doing the opposite.

We're leaving space for the unknown.

Just days after the powerful Lion's Gate Portal, where so much of our focus has been on our desires, our intentions and the future we want to create, this Solar Eclipse invites us to loosen our grip, surrender some of that control and become open to possibilities we might not even know exist yet.

Because sometimes the problem isn't that we don't know what we want, it's that we've become so attached to how we think it needs to happen.

We decide where the money needs to come from. We decide which opportunity needs to work out. We decide when something should happen, who should be involved and what the journey towards it should look like.

And without realising it, we can become so focused on one particular route that we stop noticing everything else that's unfolding around us.

The New Moon in Leo brings themes of courage, self-expression, creativity and following what genuinely lights you up, while the Solar Eclipse adds an entirely different dimension to this lunar cycle.

Eclipses have long been associated with turning points, redirections and moments where what once seemed certain can temporarily become unclear. And rather than rushing to fill that uncertainty with another plan, another intention or another manifestation technique, this bundle is an invitation to become comfortable with not knowing what happens next.

What if something better exists beyond the plan you've created?

What if the opportunity arrives differently?

What if the thing that doesn't work out is actually a redirection?

What if the conversation you weren't expecting, the invitation you nearly declined or the idea that suddenly appears becomes more significant than anything you've been trying to force?

And what if, for the next fortnight, you simply allowed yourself to find out?

This isn't about giving up on your manifestations or becoming passive. It's about recognising the difference between intention and control.

You can know what you'd love to experience without dictating every detail of how life needs to deliver it.

You can take inspired action without constantly checking whether it's working.

You can have desires while remaining open to something even better.

And you can trust yourself enough to walk forwards even when you can't see the entire path ahead.

To help you explore this completely different approach, I've created this bundle around the Eclipse effect, where we surrender, trust and allow, a New Moon Solar Eclipse bundle designed to help you release the need to control every outcome and become more open to the unexpected.

For just £6, you'll receive a complete toolkit to help you work with this unusual lunar cycle through surrender, trust, curiosity and allowing.

Inside the bundle you'll receive:

• A beautifully designed Eclipse workbook filled with thought-provoking journal prompts, affirmations, exercises and a unique blank page Eclipse ritual, helping you uncover where you may be gripping too tightly, trying to control an outcome or overlooking possibilities because they don't resemble the plan you originally created. You'll also receive a special "what am I not seeing?" tarot spread to explore the fortnight ahead from a completely different perspective.

• A 15-minute guided surrender meditation, where you'll journey through the symbolism of the eclipse, practise becoming comfortable without knowing exactly what comes next and experience what it feels like to stop searching for the answer and simply allow the path to reveal itself.

• A one-hour subliminal audio, created to gently reinforce beliefs around self-trust, surrender, flexibility, uncertainty, openness and feeling safe when you don't have all the answers. Listen while relaxing, working or drifting off to sleep.

• A downloadable Eclipse phone wallpaper carrying the reminder that you don't need to know exactly how everything is going to happen for things to be working in your favour.

This bundle isn't about manifesting harder, it's not about creating another vision board, scripting your perfect future or writing another list of intentions... and it's definitely not about forgetting everything you've already asked for!

It's about taking your hands off the wheel just enough to leave room for something unexpected to find you.

For the next 14 days, you'll be encouraged to approach life differently. To notice the conversations you weren't expecting. The changes of plan. The intuitive nudges. The opportunities that appear seemingly from nowhere. The doors that close. The different doors that suddenly become visible because of them.

You don't have to label every coincidence as a sign or search for hidden meaning in everything that happens.

You simply have to pay attention.

Because perhaps there's a possibility available to you right now that you haven't considered.

Perhaps there's another route.

Perhaps there's something better than the outcome you've been trying so hard to control.

You spent the Lion's Gate deciding what you wanted.

Now, the Eclipse is asking you to leave some room for life to surprise you.

Surrender the how.

Trust the unfolding.

Leave space for the unexpected.

You don't need to know what happens next.
