Leo Season AF

We're officially in Leo season, and the energy is bold, fiery, and full of life. This is the time of year that invites us to step into our confidence, speak from the heart, and stop playing small. Leo is ruled by the sun, and when the sun moves through this sign, we’re called to embrace our authentic selves and celebrate what makes us unique. It’s an invitation to return to joy, express our creativity, and lead with courage.

This week brings even more fire to the mix with the New Moon in Leo arriving on thursday. When both the sun and moon align in the same sign, the energy of that sign is magnified and with Leo, that means we’re being flooded with the frequency of personal power, passion, and self-expression. The new moon is a cosmic reset, and with it in Leo, this is the perfect time to set intentions around confidence, creativity, leadership, and opening your heart.

Leo energy is playful but powerful. It encourages you to show up fully, take up space, and allow yourself to be seen, not for who you think you should be, but for who you truly are. This is not the time to dim your light. It's time to step into it, even if it feels uncomfortable at first. The fire of Leo wants to burn through fear and self-doubt and ignite something much deeper, your personal truth and passion.

In astrology, Leo is the natural ruler of the fifth house and together, they represent creativity, self-expression, joy, play, and the inner child. When you explore Leo energy, you're also tapping into the themes of the fifth house: what lights you up, how you share your unique gifts, and the ways you seek pleasure and meaning through passion.

The fifth house is where your soul comes out to play. It’s where art, romance, children, and self-expression live. It's about doing things not because you have to, but because you love to. This house speaks to the parts of life that feel the most alive, the things that remind you of who you are beyond your roles, responsibilities, or achievements.

Over the next month, you might notice yourself craving more joy, more freedom, and more connection to your creative self. You might feel called to take risks, speak your truth, or start something that really matters to you. With both the sun and moon in Leo, the message is clear: Be brave enough to be yourself.

Here are a few ways to work with this energy:

• Do something creative that lights you up, even if no one sees it

• Spend time outside and soak up the sun, charge your solar energy

• Set clear intentions during the New Moon around joy, courage, and visibility

• Let your inner child lead the way, what does play look like for you now?

• Practice self-love in a way that feels nourishing and real

• Don’t be afraid to take up space, speak louder, or go after what you want

Leo season is about owning your light and letting it shine, not for validation, but because that’s who you are. This is a powerful time to come back to yourself, reignite your passion, and begin something new from a place of alignment and love.

So as we move through this fire-filled moment, sun and moon in Leo, ask yourself: “Where am I ready to shine brighter, bolder, and more true to who I really am?”

Let this be the season you say yes to that version of you.
