Reimagining Leadership and Influence with the New Moon in Leo in Gate 31

In this episode of the Inner Circle Podcast, we explore the Leo New Moon as a gateway for reimagining influence, leadership, and the energetic currency of trust. Rooted in Human Design Gate 31—the Gate of Influence—this lunation teaches us that real leadership is not self-appointed. It must be recognized, invited, and trusted over time. We move beyond performance and virality into the slow, relational work of becoming trustworthy.

This episode offers a deeper look at how lunar cycles—especially the New and Full Moons—act as threshold rituals for visionaries. Through these cyclical rites, we’re invited to listen more closely to what’s no longer true, release it with care, and attune to what wants to emerge through us with greater clarity. Leadership is reframed not as a position, but as a presence that builds trust through congruence and consistency.
