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.
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 can also be somewhat patronising and may need to be reminded that the spotlight has room for more than one.
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”
Seasonally, Leo is associated with Winter in the Southern Hemisphere and Summer in the Northern Hemisphere.
With the Sun in Leo for the next month, it will radiate an energy that is completely at ease with grand gestures, performance and in support of showing the world the creative gifts and artistic talents that are uniquely your own. You can give yourselves permission to step up onto the stage and no longer hide in the wings. It may be time for you to be the main act rather than the support.
Just be mindful to not let your ego get the better of you in the process. Taking pride in what you do is healthy but when it tips over into the realm of arrogance, it can become detrimental to yourself and others. Let your light shine without extinguishing the light of another.
As the Sun moves through Leo you could experience a surge in creative expression where you decide to take a chance and show the world what you have to offer. The warmth of the Leo Sun could invigorate connections with lovers or friends to go and have some fun - for fun’s sake.
Check where Leo is placed in your Natal Chart as this will be where this energy can be directed. If the Sun in Leo is transiting your tenth house the focus could be on your career or public image; OR on family dynamics if transiting the fourth house; OR relationship or legal issues if transiting the seventh house. The other fixed signs and houses could also be impacted by aspect.
Just remember, there isn’t a dull moment with the Sun in Leo as it by no means is a subtle energy. It can push you out there before you’re ready, so be very clear on where your comfort zone begins and ends. Extending yourself through a little fear, nervousness and trepidation can in some instances lead to personal growth but not when the fear becomes terror. Establishing and affirming strong boundaries is a means of courageous self-care.
