Overall, the energy of Leo is ruled by the Sun and is the fixed fire sign. Therefore, the high energy of this season will remain steady from start to finish. As the height of summer, Leo season is typically the most enjoyed part of summer for the collective. The Lion represents Leo's energy and as with most cats, this includes their fierce, but playful nature. Most people with Leo placements tend to stand out and shine effortlessly. This can be attributed to being ruled by the Sun, which shines no matter the circumstances.
With Mercury and Venus in retrograde conjunct the Sun, there is a heavy emphasis on self love as reflections on relationships to others and the relationship to self is placed in the spotlight. Due to Leo's fixed nature, people may be a bit more stubborn in their opinions. The best advice at this time is to focus on bettering yourself as the energy you put out during Leo Season will be reflected back to you more fiercely than usual. With Jupiter in Taurus squaring this energy, treat yourself the way you want others to treat you. If you want to be wined and dined, do it for yourself first. If you want to go on an adventure, be your own adventure buddy. If you want someone to listen to you, pay attention to what you have to say.
As the Moon is conjunct Mars in Virgo at this time, themes of self-criticism may pop up for the better as they will motivate you to take the necessary steps to change and move forward. The mutable nature of Virgo can allow you to replace the practices that you had in place with a more sustainable system. As this conjunction opposes Saturn in Pisces, spiritual discipline could be the hardest part about your transformation. If you are not disciplined at this time, it may be noticeable in your emotions and actions. Stay grounded by keeping your eyes on the goal at hand.
Upcoming Transits
On July 28th, 2023, Mercury enters into Virgo. While Mercury in Leo highlighted the changes that were necessary moving forward for you, Mercury in Virgo will allow you to articulate every detail. As this transit will be conjunct Mars in Virgo, this attention-to-detail will allow you to be more practical in your application moving forward towards your goals.
Full Moon Message
On Tuesday, August 1st, 2023, a Full Moon in Aquarius will take place at the 9th degree. As the start of the new month, you are being given a chance to start fresh by being authentically you. Aquarians (and those with Aquarius placements!) typically stand out by doing things out of the norm and they usually do not follow the status quo. At this time, release the expectations that others have placed on you and do what feels best for you in your mind and spirit. Celebrate the uniqueness that makes you that person that you are! You are special and your differences are necessary in this world!
New Moon Message
On Wednesday, August 16th, 2023, a New Moon in Leo will take place at the 23rd degree. The theme of self-love that has been prevalent throughout Leo Season will be emphasized around this time. Use this moment to reinforce the love that you have for yourself by catering to you. Be aware that your version of self-love may look differently than those around you. Stay true to yourself and do whatever it is that pleases you!
