LEO SEASON HAS ARRIVED, CUE THE APPLAUSE

Ahh Leo, Leo, Leo. Arguably the most famous of all the signs in the Zodiac and understandably so. It couldn’t be more fitting that the sign that loves notoriety, attention, praise and applause is the most well-known. The King/Queen, the Lion/Lioness, the Actor/Actress, Leo is ruled by the Sun, a fire sign notorious for its confidence, grandeur, passion, courage, creativity and self-expression. As the archetype of the Lion, Leo embodies the traits of its’ golden maned archetype through its bravery, strength, courage and go out there & get em’ confidence. Like the sun shines, so does Leo. The higher octaves of the sign are that of generosity, warmth, kindness, and joy, while some of the shadow aspects of the sign can show up as selfishness, stubbornness, impatience, domination and possessiveness.

There are 12 signs in the Zodiac, here they are in order: Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces. Leo is the 5th sign and therefore also naturally rules the 5th house. Just like there are 12 signs, there are 12 houses that correspond to them – Aries rules the 1st house, Taurus the 2nd, Gemini the 3rd, Cancer the 4th, Leo the 5th, and so on until you reach Pisces, the 12th sign and the 12th house. You can think of the houses in Astrology as the flavoring. Each house has its own flavor, its own theme. The 5th house, ruled by Leo, is the house of play, creativity, expression, romance, adventure, and children. It’s the house of art, acting, theatre, drama, and self-expression. All eyes on me, center of attention, “I’ve arrived” vibes.

As the sun makes it way through one of the 12 zodiac signs once a month, Leo bestows its fiery, passionate, and fun energy upon us once a year from July 22nd – August 22nd. After an emotional cancer season, the energy of Leo is a much-needed spark of warm fiery energy.

Leo season energy invites us to take bold risks, to enjoy life, to shine like the Sun, to be seen and heard, to be courageous, to play, flirt, laugh, and release the inner child and be free. We feel ignited to move towards our dreams now, to take risks that will pay off, to try something new, and to be bold and have fun while doing it!
