The Sun entered the sign of its domicile, Leo, on July 22, shifting the vibe from the nurturing, emotionally in-tune Cancer to the vibrant, self-expressive Lion.
The Sun is at home here in Leo from July 22 to August 22.
A common misconception about Leo in pop astrology is that it represents superficial pride or a constant need for attention.
The truth is, Leo, ruled by the Sun—the centre of our solar system—represents deep-seated passion, authentic self-expression, and leadership that rightfully earns recognition and attention.
When well-aspected in a natal (birth) chart, the Leo Sun shines with ease, allowing its true expression to come through.
Leo sets the tone. It naturally commands a space and is quite stoic in dignity.
Leo rules the spine, back, and heart.
With its fixed nature, Leo remains steadfast on its path, becoming a beacon of authority and nobility. It is fiercely loyal, committed, and courageous.
Harnessing the energy of Leo season is all about stepping into the spotlight and allowing your most authentic self to shine.
Leo season is the perfect time to open up, drop the masks, and let your joy, self-expression, and playfulness be witnessed.
This season invites you to be you—in all of your unique, energetic expression.
