From July 22nd to August 22nd, the Sun moves through Leo. The lion of the zodiac isn’t exactly subtle; it’s bold and flashy, making a dramatic entrance with its head held high. This is the time of year when we can all benefit from unapologetically working the room, no matter what the haters think.
But Leo doesn’t crave attention for attention’s sake. It cares about going all the way in and acting with its whole heart — and if others take notice, all the better. The next few weeks are an opportunity to practice grabbing the mic (literally or figuratively) and owning your gifts, your creative talents, and your unique youness. If you have stage fright or if you’re afraid to fail, that’s okay. In fact, that’s a good thing, since it means you care. And guess what? Sometimes you will mess up. Sometimes people won’t be happy with your choices. Sometimes you won’t get the reaction you hoped for. Leo season dares us to put ourselves out there anyway, take the risk of being vulnerable, and live as fiercely as possible. So don’t play it small.
The New Moon in Leo on July 24th is packed with potential. Anything you start under this lunation will be deeply transformative, but it will require you to rethink your relationship with external validation. If you’re uncomfortable with either applause or criticism, this is your chance to write a different story that boosts your confidence in your own authority. What’s preventing you from shining as brightly as possible? Under this New Moon, ask yourself how you can take up space more bravely, without letting your fears or doubts get in the way.
Then on August 9th, a buzzy Full Moon in Aquarius shines a light on the power of community. It’s an energizing time to host an event, gather over a meal, or do any group activity that reminds you to buck social norms and embrace unconventional forms of care and connection. On a personal level, this Full Moon illuminates the progress you’ve made over the past six months in the Aquarius part of your chart. Congratulate yourself for all the ways you’ve practiced getting more experimental, pushing your growth edges, and daring to do things differently.

Enjoying yourself is not a bad thing. Let the coming weeks remind you to do what feels good. This is not a rallying cry for toxic positivity. This is an invitation to embrace pleasure, even — or especially — when other parts of life aren’t going to plan.
Take this opportunity to get a little more playful and more willing to put yourself out there, whether you’re going on a date, working on a creative project, spending time with young ones in your life, or even just picking your outfit for the day.
This isn’t about escaping the tough stuff. It’s about choosing — frequently and intentionally — to remain open to precious moments of connection, delight, and fun. Life is messy and often painful. Don’t wait until everything feels sorted out to let yourself savor what’s sweet.
Ask yourself what helps you feel safe, nourished, and comfortable. What younger parts of you feel nervous or uncertain about claiming the spotlight? This Leo season is all about exploring these questions — and figuring out how to offer yourself stability and reliable support along the way.
If your home life seems to be undergoing big changes, get curious about what’s coming to the surface before you try to turn away from the tough stuff. You’re in the middle of redefining what belonging means to you — not to anyone else.
Learning how to feel rooted, no matter where you are, allows you to shine even brighter in the wider world.
Don’t keep your ideas to yourself. Over the next few weeks, however you move through your days, try to pay more attention to the words you use, the ways you talk to yourself, and the stories you spin about what’s possible for your future.
And don’t play it small. What would happen if you treat every day like an opportunity to lead with how you really feel, not what you think would charm your audience? If that question scares you, be gentle with yourself — then dare to wear your heart on your sleeve anyway.
The time for keeping your talents to yourself is over. Yes, it’s daunting to show the world who you are, to ask for what you want, to take a risk. But guess what? Downplaying your brilliance doesn’t help anyone — especially not yourself.
The next few weeks are a chance to get curious about the sides of you that may be afraid of success or convinced that you don’t deserve it. Not to make these parts of you go away, but to acknowledge them — and then put yourself out there anyway.
Flex your attention-grabbing skills, and don’t try to dim your light just to keep other people comfortable — it’s Leo season, after all.
It’s your season, and everyone can tell. The next few weeks offer you a homecoming.
Check in with yourself about the choices you’ve been making, the passion projects you’ve been working on, and the roles you’ve been playing in your relationships. Be honest with yourself about which parts of your life feel invigorating — and which ones no longer feel like a good fit.
Your life doesn’t happen in a vacuum, so rein in your main-character energy if it’s tipping into an ego-trip territory. And if the people closest to you are undergoing their own major transformations, get curious about what these bonds are teaching you about your autonomy, your agency, and your creative problem-solving.
Ask yourself what you actually want to make your life feel more authentically yours. Your heart really is your most trustworthy compass right now. You just have to be willing to follow it.
You are not above solo time. Shutting the door to the world long enough to decompress is not the same as escaping or hiding.
Over the next few weeks, prioritize spending time in your own company. Ask yourself how you’re doing. And be honest. If your schedule is too full for R & R, resist the urge to blame or play the victim. Use the five minutes you have in the shower or just before bed to exhale, cry, or shake off the day.
If your fears or usual coping mechanisms come up for review, get curious about them before getting defensive. This Leo season is an invitation to treat yourself with kindness, even when no one’s watching. And especially when you don’t feel like it.
Tell your friends how much you love them. Seriously. The next few weeks shine a light on the communities that energize and inspire you. So make an intentional effort to show your crew how much they mean to you — and remind yourself that your unique ideas and desires are as important as anyone else’s.
Remember that you’re a part of this group equation. If the thought of sharing your opinion or putting yourself out there gives you stage fright, that’s okay. Before retreating backstage, try to coax yourself to practice taking up more space. When you do, you’ll clarify who will be there for you no matter what.
Get more comfortable with being a public figure. Whether you’re working, retired, in school, or none of the above, these next few weeks are all about building your relationship with the world outside your door.
If you catch yourself resisting any attention that comes your way, remind yourself that it’s okay to soak it up. Your inner wallflower deserves love, but right now it’s especially wise to encourage the part of you that’s proud of your skills and talents.
You can’t do much with praise if you’re not willing to accept it in the first place. Enjoy the applause, and take a bow.
Whatever new paths are opening up for you, explore them. Now is the time to embrace a wider range of possibilities for the big picture of your life’s direction. This Leo season helps you clarify the choices you’re making and reorient yourself toward what truly energizes you — not just in the short term but for the long haul.
If you’re scared to take a detour into the unknown, that’s fair. There’s no need to rush the changes that are unfolding now. And if you get lost or overwhelmed over the next few weeks, come back to what feels right deep down in your body.
Imagine the Sun is in the center of your chest. Lean into that warmth. Ask it to light the way forward. And trust it to lead you where you’re meant to go.
Don’t push away your feelings. Stop waiting to check in with yourself until you’re “less busy.” And bust the myth that facing tough emotions only makes them worse. You won’t get stuck — especially if you remain open to the co-conspirators who can help you navigate what you’re wading through.
This doesn’t mean you should join forces with other people or stay entangled just because it seems easier than going solo. Life is too short for putting up with “just fine.” Move toward the collaborations that genuinely energize you.
Remember what makes you an essential part of your closest relationships. Remind yourself why your presence matters. Yes, it can be scary to open yourself to another person and make yourself fully available. But your besties and beloveds have a knack for showing you that feeling a little vulnerable can be a good thing.
If you’re seeking stronger connections, the next few weeks are a powerful time to think about the kinds of 1:1 bonds you want to nourish and the types of people you want to cross paths with. Putting yourself out there may be daunting, but the rewards tend to outweigh the risks.
Your wellbeing is always worth fighting for. Leo season is your yearly reminder that phoning it in won’t cut it.
What’s the point of sticking to a routine that doesn’t allow you to rest, recharge, and enjoy yourself along the way? Yes, work is still work — there’s no getting around that. But ask yourself if you’ve been playing it small or neglecting your emotional needs for the sake of your to-do list.
If your inner critic has been trying to convince you that your efforts aren’t good enough, now is the time to take away the mic — and applaud yourself for the energy you pour into everything you do.
