Leo Season

Leo is a fixed fire sign ruled by the Sun and has a vibrant, passionate, generous and life-affirming energy. It inspires creative self-expression and performance.

Leo encourages individuals to courageously and joyously leave their mark on the world. Leo season is a time to step into the spotlight.

Leo also motivates opening the portal of the heart and sharing the authentic self. It provides the courage to risk vulnerability and express the truth within the soul. By sharing from the heart, heart-centered connections will form with others. Leo’s energy is activated when the heart synchronizes with another person. Within these heart-centered exchanges, warm, loving energy emerges. A feedback loop of love flows in both directions.

To embody Leo’s energy, share original creative work, make a YouTube video, teach a workshop and express love.
