LEO SEASON
July 22 – August 23
Theme: Courage
Leo season arrives like a sugared flame. After Cancer called you home to your inner sanctuary, Leo draws you toward the fire to create, to be seen, and to feel the romance of your own existence.
Leo invites you to move from careful to courageous, from tending to expressing. To honour what stirs in your chest, to follow what feels vivid, and to remember that joy is
a worthy pursuit.
"self-celebration is not arrogance; it is reclamation."
Leo teaches us that self-confidence is rooted in the willingness to show up as you are. Courage comes from looking back at the times when you have already done so.
This season invites you to stop outsourcing your worth, to gather the parts you’ve
abandoned for the sake of belonging, and to stand in the centre of your life, unapologetic, unedited and unshaped by the expectations of others.
Let your days be shaped by what sparks delight: the colours you wear, the music you dance to, the words you speak when you aren’t censoring yourself. Leo teaches you that self-celebration is not arrogance; it is a reclamation.
To live in the spirit of Leo is to let your life burn brighter. To lead with heart. To create what only you can. To follow the golden threads of joy and let them weave your story. Because,
Leo ensures you were never meant to hide.
Self-Care in Leo
In the turning of the seasons and the pull of the moon, there are moments that ask us to pause, soften, and listen inward.
These two rituals offer portals into that stillness—one a celebration of unguarded joy, the other a quiet reckoning with the spaces where we’ve outgrown our need to belong.
The Leo Season Ritual invites to rediscover delight for its own sake, a creative act without audience.
The Aquarius Full Moon Ritual guides you in releasing the patterns, people, and old dreams that no longer reflect who you are becoming.
Both are gentle reminders: your joy is sacred, and your truth is enough. Follow the links below to step into each ritual. Let them meet you where you are.
MOON MOMENTS:
New Moon in Leo – 25 JUL 5:11 AM AEST
The Leo New Moon invites you to plant seeds where joy leads. It’s a moment to recommit to play, to creativity, to the sparks that make life feel golden. Let this lunation be a permission slip to follow delight, to flirt with life, to take your desires seriously. Tend to the stories, the art, the romances, whether with others or with yourself, that make you feel most alive. Begin something bold. Begin something
joyful. Begin.
Full Moon in Aquarius – 9 AUG 5:55 PM AEST
The Aquarius Full Moon reminds you that you are both sovereign and connected. It illuminates the spaces where you’ve outgrown certain groups or stories, asking you to release what no longer resonates. This lunation holds the tension between individuality and belonging, offering clarity on where you stand and where you might long to wander next.
PLANETARY MOVEMENTS:
Chiron Retrograde – July 31
Old wounds resurface, not to hurt you, but to be held with new understanding. This is a season of revisiting what aches, tracing the lineage of your pain, and learning how
to carry it with a little more grace. Healing isn’t always forward motion; it can look like circling back with kinder eyes.
Venus enters Cancer – July 31
Desire softens. We’re no longer searching for something new; we’re longing to feel at home. Love now asks for closeness, familiarity, and tenderness. Beauty is found in what comforts and in the places we can return to.
Mars enters Libra – August 7
Action now seeks balance. Mars in Libra fights for fairness but prefers to do so with diplomacy. Decisions may take longer, but this is a time to move with more grace, to
consider all sides, and to choose the path where both beauty and justice can coexist.
Mercury stations direct – August 11
The fog begins to lift. Words find their way again. What felt tangled starts to loosen. Let clarity arrive softly; there’s no need to rush toward resolution.
