Leo Season - A time to celebrate ourselves and others
As Leo season opens up we can feel a shift of energies, moving from Cancer, a cardinal water sign to Leo, a fixed fire sign. Last month, Cancer season asked us to go inward, taking some time to nurture ourselves.
As the Sun moves to this new sign, we are now invited to come out from our shell and enjoy life. As a matter of fact, the Sun in Leo, is in his domicile, so this season will be all about self-expression, shining, being creative and living life at its fullest.
Leo zodiac sign is represented by the Lion, "the king of the jungle" and its motto is "I will" and "I will shine". Leo, it's a beautiful sign that reminds us the importance of having the courage to express ourselves, inspiring others to do the same. In fact, when in balance, Leo can be a true lifeforce, shining from the inside out, giving a warmth and dependable vibes. This sign also reminds us that true liberation is not only found in accepting ourselves but also in expressing who we are to the fullest.
Sun in Leo - core of your personality and your essence:
People with their Sun in Leo are very expressive, with a natural tendency for performance. They are very well suited to be in a leadership position and they tend to be very creative. They also possess a childlike joy and playfulness, making them fun to be around. Their enthusiasm for life is infectious.
Moon in Leo - your emotional landscape and subconscious:
These individuals tend to be very generous, often wearing their hearts on their sleeves. They tend to experience their emotions intensely and are not afraid to show it. Recognition and validation are crucial for their emotional well-being and they need to feel appreciated in order to feel loved.
Rising in Leo – your Soul’s purpose on Earth:
People with Leo Rising often have a magnetic presence that draws others to them. Your Soul purpose is learning to love and appreciate yourself without needing the approval of others. As a Leo Rising, you have great power and charisma, but the spiritual goal is to use this power for the higher good, helping others to rise and shine and not to allow it to fall victim to the Ego.
