Read your horoscope for the Sun in Leo
Leo season is a stage for self-expression
In the Northern Hemisphere, Leo season is the time when the Sun reaches peak wattage and we relax into more leisurely hours. Under its steady light, the stage is set for revelry, celebration, and self-expression of all stripes.
In the Southern Hemisphere, the rich darkness of long nights also encourages make-believe. Like the life-giving Sun itself, Leo bestows a sense of vitality and vibrancy — and its spotlight offers validation to our gifts and talents. This season is about radiating the unfiltered version of you with no apologies.
Two gold star days of Leo season
July 23rd is a perfect day for pitching dreams and schemes, as Jupiter and Mercury meet in a fiery trine. Let your audacity carry you where you need to go, even if you don’t have all the details worked out. Then, sit back and let July 24th bring the sweetness. Venus in Cancer shoots a smoldering glance to Jupiter in Aries, making it a day to indulge in life’s pleasures.
Mars and Saturn bring friction and obstacles
Later in the month, we hit a patch of cosmic turbulence, as Mars joins Uranus on the hungry North Node around July 31st / August 1st and squares Saturn’s “hard no” on August 7th. If you feel like the walls are closing in, or you’re close to doing something rash, know that this flash-storm will pass relatively quickly.
Resist the temptation to take a stand with lightning speed. This Leo season asks you to choose your battles with discernment and conserve your energy along the way. Save your solar power for the stage, your passion projects, or the camera, darling. Catfights just aren’t worth your time.

Aries & Aries Rising
Leo season illuminates your pleasure pursuits and creative drives. Whether this means belting out show-tunes with your friends or curling up with your favorite adult coloring book, your enjoyment is your right (and mandate) in the coming weeks.
If you can, clear your calendar on July 24th and sink into your domestic delights. Let yourself prune in a bubble bath with your books, snacks, and tub caddy. As a walking embodiment of “good vibes only,” you might want to let your chosen family members bask in your enthusiasm too.
Around July 31st / August 1st, look out for reality checks surrounding your resources. You can preempt any unwanted disturbances by making sure your budgets and systems are watertight. This wildcard energy could lead to your next windfall too. Either way, the conditions are fast and fleeting. If you have to make a big decision this week, build “sleeping on it” into your game plan.

Taurus & Taurus Rising
Leo season brings a celebratory mood to your home, chosen family, and ancestral lineages. It’s time to rally your inner circle for a barbecue, game night, or even a family reunion (with a talent show). If there’s an ancestral art, tradition, or creative inheritance that feels particularly vital to you, explore it in the coming weeks.
On August 1st, self-care is your only job. Brew calming teas. Get in the community garden. Devote time to a practice you find personally soothing, such as meditation or baking bread. As you ground yourself, your body may send you messages about what it’s craving, or what’s no longer working.
How does it speak and what helps you to listen?

Gemini & Gemini Rising
This Leo season, you’ll be an especially busy bee. Get ready to pollinate your way through your immediate environs, gathering intel, phone numbers, gossip, and golden moments of synchronicity. Over the next few weeks, replenishing your vitality will be as simple as stepping outside to people-watch, or basking in a choice patio sunbeam. If your energy is flagging, circulate.
August 1st will be a day to count to 1,000 when it comes to soap-boxing your frustration with the system. By all means, defend your beliefs, but try not to be too attached to the mental fireworks of the moment. Why not exit the chat entirely and seek out private grounding rituals instead? There’s no politicking on the nature trails, after all.

Cancer & Cancer Rising
Leo season brings its warmth and revelry to your world of coin. Take a moment to celebrate everything that makes you feel rich — materially or spiritually. Your generosity does not go unnoticed, but are you equally thorough in spoiling yourself?
The coming weeks will help you find time to dote on your pet hobbies and talents. Just don’t hide your creative fruits. Your knack for scrapbooking or lush flower arrangements demands witness, and may even attract a customer or two.
July 24th ushers in an added abundance to be tapped. With your charisma peaking and the momentum building in your professional world, trust that you can, in fact, have it all. You can have a career that resonates on a cellular level and satisfies your pioneering spirit too. Be the fool who rushes into the field where others fear to tread.

Leo & Leo Rising
As you saunter into the cosmic spotlight of Leo season, follow the personal calling that makes you feel vital. Whatever getting your groove back looks like, pour your energy into this practice. Every lion has its day, but it’s up to you to truly take advantage of this time in the sun.
July 25th brings the good vibrations to the yard — and an opportunity to get your catnap. Treat yourself to the oil massage, body scan, or guided meditation that will empty your mind before bed. If the world needs you, they can find you in your cashmere blanket fort.
If you can afford to step out of the professional fray on August 1st, dust off your Out of Office tag and schedule your important meetings for later. The more that you hold space for the sudden yearnings or rebellious urges that surface now, the less likely they will be to take the wheel. Wait for your tail to stop switching before entering that Zoom call.
There could also be a glass ceiling that you’re eager to shatter during this time, or a status quo that requires toppling. Just remember that you have ample time to plan and stage your rebellion. What’s one thing you can do to propel positive (and mindful) change in your field?

Virgo & Virgo Rising
Leo season brings its light to your naps, private moments, and behind-the-scenes activity. It’s time to replenish those batteries through tactical retreat. Tinker away at your masterpieces in privacy. Let your self-expression include a fertile incubation period. Create a bedtime regime that makes you feel regally pampered. Whatever your version of a Cleopatra milk bath is — indulge.
That said, July 24th is a particularly good day to emerge from your boudoir bat cave and shake off the cobwebs with your friends. RSVP to that brunch or host that dinner party. Just remember to let your pals help with the dishes afterward.
August 1st could bring a touch of stormy weather to your wisdom pursuits, spiritual paths, or long-range plans. If a belief system is suddenly challenged, know that you can construct something even more meaningful from the pieces.
Periods of spiritual doubt are sure signs of maturation and growth, after all. Use this time to enroll in the course, language class, or meditation retreat that excites (and maybe even terrifies) you. Then devote time each week to realizing — or simply vocalizing — your future plans.

Libra & Libra Rising
Leo season is no time to go it alone. Sol is asking you to step up as a beacon of warmth for those relegated to the fringes. Simply feeling “seen” can be a powerful thing, so uplift the community members who need their personal glee section, then watch as your light fans outward exponentially.
On July 24th, this flurry of social activity will inform your career too. Use this cosmic benevolence to pitch your brainchild or meet with influential figures in your field. Trust your pleasure principle when it comes to your life direction. Sometimes the path of least resistance is the one we doubt the most, but if it excites you, it’s worth ample investigation now.
Keep a stress ball on hand August 1st, as a bout of cosmic turbulence hits your realm of collaboration and shared finances. If there was ever a time to read the fine print, this is it. You can prepare for this day by going through your contracts and paperwork with a fine-tooth comb. Your fastidiousness now will help channel this energy in the right direction.

Scorpio & Scorpio Rising
When it comes to your legacy, you’re far from a shrinking violet. But in Leo season, there’s an extra bold, steady light illuminating your career, vocation, and life direction. As the veil thins between your professional world and your creative expression, lean into the desire to be acknowledged for your talents.
In the midst of your professional hustle, July 24th brings an opportunity to tap into the bigger picture of what striving means for you on a spiritual or intellectual level. Abundance flows when you honor life’s deeper questions and the panoramic view of your daily toil.
If your focus on life’s loftier matters has put certain close relationships on ice, August 1st could make you aware of the imbalance. Growing pains are inevitable (and even healthy) in long-term relationships, so reframe any tension as an opportunity to learn something new about your best friend or collaborator. Teach them something about your needs too.

Sagittarius & Sagittarius Rising
Leo season brings extra vitality to your wisdom pursuits, spiritual paths, and long-range plans. There’s nothing like the quest of knowledge to help you feel yourself, so don your most dramatic wizard robes and hit the stacks. Concretize your five-year plan with a vision board or write a list of achievable next steps.
On July 24th, trust your unique slant on the world when it comes to your passion projects and creative pursuits. Everything under the Sun has been said before, but not in your voice or with your satirical edge. The magic comes from your personal interpretation.
August 1st could pry you from your pleasure pursuits, as your working day hits a few bumps in the road. Double-check your appointments. Back up everything — thrice. Make sure you schedule time to rest and regulate, as burnout is ready to pounce. If a work pivot is necessary, know that the chaos it sparks is temporary.
It might even help you to establish more innovative systems, which you can rely on for a long time to come.

Capricorn & Capricorn Rising
Leo season casts a glow on your mergers and collaborations. If the Chewbacca to your Han Solo has yet to materialize, start putting out feelers. You never know who’s secretly dying to strike creative sparks with you but is just too shy to ask.
Around July 31st / August 1st, your usual modes of fun-seeking or self-expression gain significant wildcard energy. While this time will feel turbulent for everyone, it could lead to profound creative breakthroughs. The key is to stay open to change — and grounded at the same time.
Opt for the ginger root tea rather than the extra espresso. Carve space in your day to meditate, or go for a walk in fresh air. If a creative project feels like it’s fallen into a rut, throw out the rule book, or remix what you already have. If you can embrace the joy of the unexpected, a cathartic release is coming your way.

Aquarius & Aquarius Rising
Leo season brings warmth and festivity to your closest partnerships. Don’t hesitate to celebrate your best friend, lover, or collaborator for the gifts and talents they offer the world. Just as important — gravitate toward the ones who know how to draw out your innate shine as well.
August 1st could usher in some turbulence on the home front, however. Before you go on a Post-it note frenzy reminding your roommate about the dishes or taking out the trash, start a two-way conversation with them instead. It could be just what you need to clear the air — and ensure everyone has their say.
Whatever urgent desires or rebellious impulses emerge around your sense of home, hold space for the feelings — but remember that you don’t have to let them take the wheel. Rant about it to your animal companion or a trusted friend. Write it out in your journal. Often a night’s (or a week’s) sleep can bring all the clarity we need.

Pisces & Pisces Rising
Leo season has a way of revitalizing your working day. Find ways to add your signature to the fruits of your labor, and don’t be afraid to indulge your playful side. The more your daily toil reflects your talents, gifts, and creativity, the more effortless the grind will feel.
July 24th could coax you from your desk to indulge in some well-deserved playtime. If there’s a day to invest some of your hard-earned dosh on a staycation, spa treatment, or dinner party — this is the one.
By August 1st, your mind could be running on overdrive as sudden yearnings, frustrations, and rebellious urges collide. Before you drop the mic or hit “send,” sleep on the transmission. The stormy moods this first week of August will be fleeting, so try not to react impulsively, or from a place of heat and agitation.
If, after the urgency has cooled, you still feel compelled to speak your inconvenient truth — by all means, be the messenger. Yet do so in a way that’s thoughtful and compassionate to all involved.
