Leo Season (July 22nd- August 22nd)

Welcome to Leo Season lovers!
After surviving and riding the emotional, dreamy and sometimes cloudy waters of Cancer season- we arrive refreshed, lighter, and more in sync with our emotions, and our natural cycles for Leo season. After all, much like anything in life, astrology is all about balance. With Cancer season being a highly feminine sign ruled by the moon and the element of water we are followed with that energy by its almost complete and total energetic opposite: Leo season, a masculine sign ruled by fire, and the shining life force and brilliance of the sun!

What this means is that after a period of deep reset, renewal, release and reflection that is Cancer season- we are ready to shine, to be seen, celebrated, social and to put ourselves and our souls out there with confidence, creativity and boldness during Leo Season. With each month and season of our lives that pass, we not only know who we are on a deeper more compassionate, kind and loving way, but we also know better what we’re here for, what we want to create, and how we want to feel along the way!

A Lion in the Flesh- Golden, Brilliant, and Commanding in the Light of the Sun
Represented by the eye-catching and commanding force of the lion, Leo season reminds us the importance of walking the walk, and talking the talk. With bold and assertive energy, life is more likely to honor our direction, to move around us and the powerful energy and intentions we bring and ground down into the world.

• Surrounded by its pride- their family and friends, the lion reinforces standing out as a fierce and confident individual, while also honoring your carefully chosen and life enforcing community! Be sure to use this season to explore and enjoy the connections, strengths, and callings of the tribe you have called in and created in your life! Delegate tasks to the people around you and don’t be afraid to let each person, including yourself, step up in a role that best supports you, your strengths and your desires. For when one person shines brightly- and that light is then nurtured, celebrated, spread, and shared- we can all shine and thrive even brighter all together than we ever could all alone.

• ​With its natural habitat in Africa, an incredibly hot and harsh terrain, lions teach us an important aspect on surviving, and thriving in this world- knowing how to use your energy wisely and effectively. Life after all is a careful balance of intentional and fierce action, followed by play, rest and enjoying the fruits of your effort with friends, family, in nature and in the sun! After all, with the sun beaming down on us during this summer- shining so much light on all we want to grow and all we are now- it is important to be mindful of taking action on all of the creative portals and activations that come through us, while also taking what we learned from Cancer season- how to best honor your feelings, your body, and take time to yourself to avoid burnout!
