The Sun enters the sign of the performer, queen/king and child.
Ruled by the Sun, which symbolizes our vitality and healthy ego, this is a time to be courageous and express our authenticity.
Leo rules the fifth house (house of creativity, joy/pleasure, romance) and is a fixed sign which means that making a stand in the world through a creative outlet is where growth lies for the sign of the lion.
Leo’s evolutionary goal is to develop their authentic self-expression and reveal it. Performing and creating are pathways for Leo to cultivate this; no matter what creative outlet they choose (dancing, poetry, singing) — the endpoint lies is leaving tangible evidence of their thoughts, values, and inner life in the hands of the world.
Like the child in all of us, Leo desires to be seen, acknowledged, and celebrated. To be witnessed for baring their heart and soul to the world. To be applauded for their vulnerable self-expression is both soul nourishing and energizing for Leo.
Leo (season) is here to teach us to celebrate life, to create, and to maintain the spontaneity of a child as we move through life. Leo understands that we must seize the moment and bask in the warmth of our joy as the present moment is all we have.
