How to Start Your Astrology Journal
You can use the above Leo journal prompts in addition to reflecting on any readings or horoscopes you might have—and about your daily life and goals. Journaling is a great way to lean into creating and celebrating an intentional, thoughtful life. Here’s how to get started.
Consider incorporating moon journal prompts, such as those related to the phases of the moon or specific events like a Leo Full Moon, for deeper self-reflection.
Choosing Your Journaling Materials
Choose a beautifully crafted journal that you like, because if it makes you happy, it will be easier to pick it up. Consider selecting a journal that reflects your Leo spirit!
Additionally, you might want to choose journaling materials that align with the new moon and its energy to enhance your self-reflection and spiritual development. Or look for a zodiac collection of journals for astrology enthusiasts!
Physical Journals
If at all possible, try to hold your journal in person before you buy it. Get a sense of whether you will reach for it and enjoy using it.
Journal Binding
Determine if the journal will lay flat. That is, can you open it to start writing and have it stay open?
Is the journal’s binding sturdy? Try to get a sense of whether the cover is going to get detached from the block of pages as you write.
Journal Size
Think about whether your journal’s size suits you. If you’re going to leave it on your desk and write there, maybe you want a bigger trim size. If you’re going to take it to the coffee shop or the art museum, does it fit in your purse?
Journal Paper
Consider the paper texture. If it’s too glossy, that limits your pen options. A standard ballpoint will probably work, but if you want to use pencil or other type of pen, it might not make a mark or it might smear easily.
Journal Features
This isn’t necessary, but a ribbon marker is a nice way to keep your place in a journal.
If this is going to be a portable journal, an elastic closure keeps it from splaying open inside your bag. Other clasps can be bulkier, so make sure the journal still lays open comfortably if you look at those.
Digital Journals
What digital journals lack in book-nerd cache, they make up for in portability and convenience. They’re especially handy if you’re journaling about ideas you might want to use later—don’t underestimate a good search feature. You also have plenty of free and very inexpensive options, from Google docs to specialized apps like Penzu.
Tips for Establishing a Journaling Habit
Establishing a habit can take time, and that amount of time varies. Focus on intentionally creating space and time for your new practice and exploring some journaling ideas that you might like to incorporate. The new moon is an excellent time to start a new habit, and the full moon will also work. (Bonus points if it's the new moon in Leo or the full moon in Leo.) But any moon cycle is better than none!
Create an irresistibly comfortable place to write in your Leo journal. Stock it with your favorite pens and journal. While you’re at it, remove any obstacles that will keep you from journaling.
Pick a time of day to write and set up a recurring calendar appointment to remind you. Intentionally make space to write at that exact time for the next few weeks, until you’re comfortable enough with the habit to vary it.
If it feels overwhelming to sit down and write for an indeterminate amount of time, try setting a timer for 10 minutes and telling yourself to write that long.
Too long? Try 5 minutes.
Still too long? Try writing one line a day.
Consider setting intentions during Leo season or the full moon in Leo as part of establishing your journaling habit.
Try a habit tracker
Add journaling to your favorite habit tracker, be it standalone, in your Leo journal, or in your planner. There’s nothing as satisfying as filling in another habit tracker box! (We have a few downloadable habit trackers if you need one!)
Regularly evaluate whether the habit tracker no longer serves your needs.
What’s Next?
Are you finished with these Leo journal prompts but want to keep going? Look no further—we’ve got plenty of journal prompts for adults, both in our zodiac collection and not.
Consider planning future journaling activities for self expression and setting goals for the future.
