Leo Season

Leo season is in full swing, and we have Mercury Retrograde on the horizon. This retrograde will start at 4 degrees in Virgo and move backwards through Leo until it reaches 21 degrees. We will have a full discussion closer to that time about what to expect and how to respond.

Sun in Leo.

From now until August 22nd, the sun is in the sign of Leo. Leo is a fixed fire sign; that's represented by the lion. Ruled by the Sun, Leos have a reputation for being the center of attention. Someone with their Sun in Leo may be confident and charismatic. They may thrive when their ideas and plans are used in a group setting. They are creative and ambitious. They may come across as passionate in their relationships. As they are a fixed sign, they may be a creature of habit. Acting in a way that they know versus a brand new approach. They're loyal. Leos may enjoy physical activity and spending their money. Leos can also be very headstrong, verging on stubborn. They may be aggressive if they feel that they aren't being understood. They may only see things from their point of view. A Leo may be seen as self-absorbed or attention-seeking if they aren't getting the proper validation.

Notable Leo people: Andrew Garfield, Chris Hemsworth, Sandra Bullock, Daniel Radcliffe, Joe Jonas, Greta Gerwig

Other Leo Placements.

Do you have any other Leo placements in your birth chart? Your sun sign may not be the best descriptor for your personality. For instance, I know someone who is a Capricorn sun with a Leo moon. They are very ambitious but practical in their approach. You always want to look deeper into your chart for the big picture.

If you have a Leo moon, you may be creative and intelligent. You exude warmth and generosity to others. You may feel most comfortable when all eyes are on you. This placement never wants to feel like they aren't valued. You are loyal to your loved ones. Channeling your emotions and creative energy into acting, public speaking, or even platforms like YouTube/TikTok might be beneficial.

If you have a Leo rising, you are a star. You present yourself to other people with confidence. If you know what you want, you communicate that to those around you. You may be aware of the attention that you naturally attract. You may be brave to act. You may easily stay in the loop of current events. If you are more reserved, people may gravitate to you without much effort.
