Leo season begins on July 22 and lasts until August 22. Known for its confidence, Leo’s influence can manifest in unexpected ways. The season kicks off with the Sun entering Leo on July 22, joining Mercury and Venus. This celestial alignment illuminates areas of life that allow us to speak and connect with others with radiant confidence.
We benefit from this power trio for a few days until July 25, when Mercury moves into Virgo, offering us a more focused approach to our conversations.
On August 4, Venus transitions from fiery Leo into practical Virgo, prompting us to view love and beauty from a more conscious perspective.
On the same day, we also experience the New Moon in Leo, providing a chance to start anew and determine what we want from life, with a clear focus on perfecting what we have already been generously given.
On August 5, Mercury goes retrograde in Virgo and will return to Leo on August 14.
Though retrogrades can seem intimidating, this period encourages us to slow down and reflect on our lives, helping us identify areas that need nurturing and growth.
Embrace Leo season’s vibrant energy to connect, reflect, and refine your path forward.
