It’s the hottest time of year! The Sun enters Leo, its favorite sign, on Monday, July 22. Just like the weather, you’re extra hot right now! No matter your own zodiac sign, Leo season makes you less moody and reserved, and more outgoing and creative. The fire signs Leo, Aries, and Sagittarius are thriving right now, while fixed signs Taurus, Scorpio, and Aquarius might have some trouble handling the heat.
The Sun shines its brightest in Leo, and getting creative, moving your body, and expressing yourself is the best way to take advantage of this season’s vibes. The one thing you need to remember, however, is that you have to be genuine in this self-expression. Phoning it in, faking it, or holding back are all surefire ways to have a bad time. When you’re honest and open, you can only shine brighter and brighter.
HBD, Leo!
Something to watch out for is embodying the more negative aspects of Leo. Leo has a reputation for being self-centered—some people even call them egomaniacal—and it’s very easy to fall into that trap right now, no matter your sign. Don’t be self-centered; instead, be self aware. Don’t get swamped down by negative self-talk—try to focus on your positive traits! To know yourself is to love yourself. Even though you may have some difficult habits or traits, you can work on them, turn them around, and live your best life. People love you and they want you to express yourself straight from the heart! Don’t do yourself or others a disservice by holding back or trying to make yourself small. Stand out!
Use this month to shine bright and be as radiant as you can be. Share your thoughts, ideas, and feelings with others, and you’ll be celebrated and appreciated for it. Make sure you’re giving accolades to your friends and family, too! Let this time of year inspire you to be creative, open, and genuine, and you can’t go wrong. Enjoy!

This next month finds you focusing on your inner world. Reminiscing about the past and connecting with your loved ones are major themes of Leo season for you, and it’s probs going to be a pretty emotional time. You’re also feeling extra introverted now; this is not a time for making major moves or getting any action. You’re meant to take stock of the stable parts of your life, strengthen them, and realize that these people and things really are your pride and joy. This month, focus on who and what matters the most.

Cancer season is over, and life is going back to normal now. You’re picking up the pace at work, and you’re not getting immediate results for your effort. Don’t let that demotivate you! Slow and steady wins the race, right? Push yourself, put in your best effort, and I promise your efforts will be noticed by the end of the season.

Virgo
As the sign of service, you’re known for working your ass off. Not for yourself, but for other people. You get pleasure from giving your loved ones a helping hand, but you’re starting to see that you can no longer pour from an empty cup. Leo season wants you to spend time alone, focusing on yourself. Recharge your batteries. Your light has dimmed, and it’s time to get your shine back.

Your chart’s zone of social circles is lit up right now, so you’re spending tons of time with friends, making new connections, and having a blast! Leo season’s vibe is making you dream big. You’re setting major goals for yourself, but this is absolutely not the time to go at it alone. Teamwork makes the dream work, so find people with common goals, work together, and you can achieve anything.

Scorpio
All eyes are on you, Scorpio, especially at work. You’re being noticed, which can be a really good thing, or a really bad thing. If you’re a good friend, a loving partner, and a hard worker, you’re getting major rewards. But if you’re… not so great at any of these things, your missteps and failures are very noticeable. Your reputation is on the line right now, so do your best. Then, you can soak in all the admiration and positivity that people are sending your way.

Over the next month, the stars are pushing you to become a brighter, more well-rounded individual. If you have the opportunity to take a class or travel right now, I highly suggest doing so. The Sun in Leo wants to shine a light on the opinions and stories of other people right now, so pay attention. You’re able to embrace newness and have a great time. Nothing is mundane right now; everything is an experience.

Capricorn
You're focusing on relationships, jobs, and money right now. You pride yourself in your independence, but you’re beginning to see that there are a lot of things that restrict you from having full autonomy. There are two ways you can react. First, you can end relationships, quit jobs, or ignore your finances because you don’t want to acknowledge them. Or you could learn to stop viewing these things as cages and start to see them as structures of support. You can’t control your friends/partner, but you can control how much you work with them to improve your relationship. You can’t stop working, but you can learn to find pride in what you do. You can’t just stop paying bills, but you can control how much money you can save. Control your controllables, and don’t resist the presence of others in your life.

Leo season = cuffing season for your sign, and you’re having a blast. Your “B” relationships—your boo, your bestie, business partners, and people you have beef with—are your main priority. While you can make new connections, you’re more focused on strengthening your already-existing relationships. This month, your buddy can become a bestie. You could DTR and turn your situationship into a real partner. You can even reconnect with exes or people you’re on bad terms with, squash the beef, and move on. Don’t go at it alone right now! This is a time where you’re meant to work with other people in all that you do.

Pisces
You’re really feeling the self-centered Leo vibes this month. You're becoming very familiar with yourself—specifically, your wellbeing. This is a health-focused month, and symptoms of any unhealthy habits or lifestyle choices are flaring up. If your place is a mess, you’re starting to hate being at home. If you’re an all work, no play sort of person, you’re feeling exhausted. Instead of wallowing and feeling sorry for yourself, take this month as a time to improve your life. Eat better, tidy up, get active, and get a check-up. This month is all about getting your shit together. It’s a lot of work, but it’s necessary work.
