It’s that time of year again when the Sun moves into the fixed fire sign of Leo, the sign of its rulership. With the Sun signifying life force, the source of all life, heat, energy and light - it’s the perfect fit for a Leo association.
In many cultures the Lion symbolises strength, pride, courage, leadership, nobility and royalty.
Leo is symbolised by the Lion.
The parts of the body associated with Leo is the heart and back
The keyword for Leo is “I will OR I won’t”
Seasonally, Leo is associated with Winter in the Southern Hemisphere and Summer in the Northern Hemisphere.
Leo’s energy is dynamic, encouraging, warm, radiant and drawn to the centre of all things. Just as the Sun is the centre of our universe, those born with their Sun in Leo are drawn into the spotlight quite naturally. The world is their stage, and we are their audience.
Being a fixed sign, Leos prefer to do things on their own terms and won’t shy away from any accolades afforded to them. They set their standards high and just out of reach of any mere mortals. When expressing their thoughts and opinions their tone can be somewhat patronising and will feel quite affronted if anyone dare point out their own frailties and shortcomings.
Leos know how to work a room and have flattery down to a fine art. Appearance can be everything to them and therefore don’t do vulnerability well. They much prefer to seem cool, calm and collected and at times. Pride can also get in the way of them asking for help when needed.
But all in all, Leos will always bring the fun into any situation. They make wonderful friends and will encourage you to be the best you can be, so long as you stay in your own lane.
With the Sun in Leo for the next month, it will radiate an energy that is completely at ease with grand gestures and performance. This is the time to celebrate the creative gifts and artistic talents that are uniquely your own. Leo can provide the courage you may need to step out from behind the curtain and show the world what you’re capable of. Maybe now you’re ready to be the main act rather than the support.
The warmth of the Leo Sun brings with it excitement, spontaneity and play. Love connections can be invigorated under this transit. Leo invites you to focus on what your heart wants rather than what you head is telling you and let yourself have some fun, for fun’s sake.
Check where Leo is placed in your Natal Chart as this will be where the grand energy will land.
