Shine
The Sun spends about a month in a each sign, illuminating our path around the wheel and bringing focus to a different area of our chart and the themes of our life's journey. The Sun is our guiding light and life purpose. The Sun always wants us to shine brightly as our authentic selves, striding purposefully along our path towards our desired destiny.
Between July 22nd and August 22nd (London) The Sun will be at home in Leo, 'the heart'. What does this mean for us? And how can we work with the solar energy over the next few weeks to further our self work and step into more authentic and integrated versions of ourselves.
Leo
Leo is the solid, yang, fire temple of the Sun.
Leo is the sign of the lion.
The following themes are associated with Leo:
Loyalty, regality, authority
Transcendence, eternity, and spirit
Legacy, nobility, and fame
Lust, jealousy, tyranny, and arrogance
Leo is a sign associated with the need for transcendence amid impermanence, decline and inevitable future loss.

Leo Season
The Sun is at home in Leo bringing us themes of warmth, vitality, creativity and leadership. Leo season encourages bold self-expression and creativity. Our confidence and assertiveness is enhanced and we are more inclined to lead and inspire. Leo season favours enjoyment and pleasure: socialise, celebrate, embrace romance and follow your passions. It's time to boldly express your love and appreciation! Know you're amazing. Show the world who you are and shine bright! However, don't let your ego get the better of you. Watch out for arrogance or selfishness and avoid unnecessary drama by staying grounded and mindful of others perspectives.
We are encouraged to navigate the balance between expressing our unique identities and maintaining humility. Celebrate individuality, embrace your passions, and strive for a lasting impact, all while recognising the transient nature of our achievements and the world around us.
How can we get the best out of the season?

Reflect on Transcendence: Contemplate the themes of transcendence and eternity. Reflect on what truly matters to you and how you can leave a lasting, positive impact. Embrace the idea of impermanence as a motivator to live fully and authentically.
