From 22 July 2025 Until 22-23 August 2025
Leo, the lion of the zodiac, roars with confidence and stands proudly as the leader of the pack. Wherever Leo falls in our birth chart reveals where we’re most likely to lead with courage, shine brightly, and feel confident expressing ourself.
Leo is known for its vibrant creativity and natural flair for the spotlight. The lion loves to entertain, thrives on recognition, and isn’t afraid to take centre stage. There’s a radiant warmth and playful energy to Leo that draws others in and inspires joy.
Like all signs, Leo has a shadow side. When confidence turns into arrogance, the lion may come across as boastful or entitled. A strong need for admiration and applause can sometimes push others away, especially if it veers into self-importance.
As we move through Leo season, it’s a powerful time to embrace our inner radiance, lead with heart, and let our authentic self be seen, while remembering that true confidence doesn’t need constant applause.
During Leo season, the following qualities within us are likely to be activated and encouraged to grow:
- confidence
- leadership
- courage
- creativity
As Leo season begins, the Sun opposes Pluto, highlighting a powerful opportunity for transformation. Pluto reshapes whatever it touches, and this transit invites us to reflect on how we express our light, confidence, and personal power. It’s a potent time for shedding outdated ways of being seen and stepping into a more authentic version of self-expression.
At the same time, the Sun forms a harmonious trine with the Saturn–Neptune conjunction, while all three planets create supportive sextiles with Uranus. This flowing blend of energy encourages us to reflect on our long-term dreams, and to honour the dedication and discipline we’ve already invested. With Uranus in Gemini, unexpected blessings may arrive through communication, perhaps a surprising message, email, or conversation that opens new doors or accelerates progress.
Meanwhile, Venus in Gemini squares Mars in Virgo, bringing tension between our desires and our drive. This aspect may stir impatience (with ourselves or with loved ones) and could lead to irritability or sharp words. Practising gentleness and choosing kind, mindful communication is essential under this influence.
