Welcome to Leo Season, the golden heart of the zodiac.
A time of fire, of radiance, of unapologetic self-expression. A time when the Sun returns to its home sign and we, too, are invited to return home – to the center of our being, to our joy, our passion, our essence.
When is Leo Season 2025?
As the Sun shifts from watery Cancer into fiery Leo on July 22, 2025 until August 22, 2025 the energy turns outward. Where Cancer asked us to tend to our inner world, Leo asks us to pour forth from it. Where Cancer cocooned us in emotional safety, Leo offers the warmth of creative courage. This is the season of stepping forward, of being seen, of letting life move through us in full technicolor.
The Astrology of Leo
Leo Season is a celebration, not of ego, but of essence. Not of perfection, but of presence. Not of comparison, but of connection, to our life force, our joy, our unique flavor of light.
This is heart season. Where the Sun goes, attention follows. And in Leo, the Sun shines on our individuality – our creativity, our confidence, our courage to be who we are without apology.
It reminds us that living from the heart is a sacred act. That joy is not frivolous, but essential. That vitality is our birthright. And that when we follow the pulse of desire, we are led back into alignment with life itself.
Leo, ruled by the Sun, carries many faces, each inviting us into a different facet of our selfhood.
The Sovereign calls us into our inner authority, reminding us that we are the authors of our lives. Not in a way that dominates, but in a way that leads, from love, from truth, from the solar center within.
The Divine Child reminds us of our innate innocence, our wild imagination, and our capacity to play. This part of Leo knows that life is meant to be enjoyed, and that wonder is a powerful teacher.
The Creator invites us to make art from our lives. Whether through words, movement, offerings, or presence, Leo reminds us that expression is devotion. That when we give voice to what moves us, we become a channel for something larger than ourselves.
And woven through them all is the Heart, the true ruler of Leo. Not the mind, not the mask, but the courageous, beating heart that dares to love, to feel, to be seen.
Leo Season 2025 Astrology & Transits
We enter Leo season on the edge of invention, as the Sun forms a sextile to Uranus newly in Gemini on July 23, opening pathways for inspired breakthroughs, lightning insights, and courageous reinventions of identity.
There is electricity in the air – an invitation to express ourselves more freely, more truthfully, more vibrantly than ever before. Who are you becoming when no longer bound by the old story?
The New Moon in Leo on July 24 brings a fresh beginning – one seeded in courage, creativity, and a willingness to be seen. This is a lunar rebirth that honors joy as a spiritual path. A chance to plant new intentions around how we express, lead, love, and live from the inside out. Let desire be your map. Let your heart set the direction.
But as light intensifies, so too does contrast. Just one day later, on July 25, the Sun opposes Pluto, casting long shadows and stirring the depths of identity. This is not meant to dim the light, but to make it more real. More integrated. More powerful. What parts of you are ready to be reclaimed from the underworld? What attachments must be released so that true expression can rise?
This is a season of becoming, and becoming always involves shedding.
On July 30, Chiron stations retrograde in Aries, inviting us to reweave our relationship with identity, instinct, and self-trust. Wounds around visibility, assertion, and self-worth may rise – not to punish, but to be met with love. To be reparented. To be seen anew through the eyes of healing.
That same day, Venus slips into Cancer, softening our desires and pulling us toward intimacy, safety, and emotional nourishment. Love becomes quieter. More tender. More rooted in presence.
This shift, so close to the Mercury Retrograde Cazimi in Cancer on July 31, brings a rare moment of heart-meets-mind clarity – a new understanding born from emotional honesty. It may arrive gently, but it echoes loudly.
As we enter August, the energy stirs once more.
Mars enters Libra on August 6, redirecting our momentum toward harmony, justice, and relational action. Passion becomes diplomatic. Desire becomes attuned to the balance between self and other.
And as we move into the Aquarius Full Moon on August 9, we’re asked to hold both the personal spark and the collective flame. This Moon reflects back to us where our radiance contributes to the whole, and where it may still fear rejection
What are you here to give the world? And what must you release to give it freely?
On August 11, Mercury stations direct in Leo, lifting the fog from the mind and inviting us to speak again – with renewed boldness, clarity, and creativity. Whatever stories have been rewritten over the last few weeks now find new voice. Let them rise.
And finally, we meet a note of cosmic grace as Venus meets Jupiter in Cancer on August 12 –Â a union of heart and abundance, emotional richness and soul-level beauty. This is a blessing. A cosmic reminder that softness is strength. That tenderness expands. That the deepest joy is often found in the smallest, most meaningful connections.
Leo Season 2025 is not simply about shining.
It is about becoming the light that you are – in truth, in vulnerability, in love. It is a dance between courage and compassion, fire and feeling, creation and reflection. And while the outer expression may glow, it is the inner transformation – quiet, molten, sovereign – that will shape everything to come.

Aries Rising
This season invites you to live with your whole heart, to reclaim joy not as indulgence, but as direction. What lights you up is not random, it’s revealing. You’re being asked to let go of the old masks and rediscover who you are underneath them – raw, real, radiant.
This isn’t about being seen for performance, but for presence. There’s healing available in naming your needs, softening your self-judgment, and allowing emotion to guide you home. Let expression be medicine. Let love be your return.
Your light is not just yours, it’s a torch for the world.
Taurus Rising
This season calls you inward, not to retreat, but to reconnect – with your roots, your inner voice, and the places that feel like home. The ground is shifting, asking you to soften control and trust the unseen threads shaping your becoming.
As you release old narratives around safety and self-worth, you’re invited to plant new seeds of belonging, ones grown from self-trust, not survival. Listen for the quiet insights rising within. Let them guide your voice, your choices, your path forward.
Your inner foundation is the altar. From there, you rise – stable, radiant, and wholly your own.
Gemini Rising
This season brings a renewal of voice, a chance to speak from truth rather than performance, and to rewrite the story you tell about who you are. Let your thoughts soften. Let your words deepen. There’s power in naming what you value, and healing in claiming what you deserve.
You may be releasing inherited beliefs or outdated ideals, but only to clear space for a path more aligned with your lived experience. Let insight arrive through conversation, curiosity, or quiet knowing.
What you have to say matters. And who you are becoming is worth every word.
Cancer Rising
This season roots you in the soil of your worth. It reminds you that you are the resource – not what you earn, produce, or prove. You may be shedding old stories of powerlessness or dependency, finding new freedom in choosing what’s truly aligned. Let security come not from control, but from connection, to self, to source, to your own energy.
With Venus and Jupiter blessing your sign, this is a season of beauty, heart expansion, and quiet confidence. Let the world feel you. Let your presence speak. And let your value be undeniable, because it already is.
Leo Rising
This is your season of becoming, of shedding the costumes you’ve outgrown and stepping into a more embodied, heart-aligned you. It’s a return to your center, but one that comes with depth.
You may be releasing entanglements in relationships or stories that kept your light dimmed. Now, you get to choose how you want to shine – not for attention, but for truth.
Insights rise from within and beyond, reminding you that not all support is visible. Trust the unseen guidance moving through you.
This is your solar return, your sacred re-entry. You are the flame. Live lit.
Virgo Rising
This season invites you into the liminal, into the space between endings and beginnings, where clarity is felt more than thought. You’re being asked to slow down, soften the edges, and allow the unseen to work through you.
It may feel like a season of quiet, but transformation stirs beneath the surface. As you release the pressure to hold it all together, something deeper is restored: trust in your intuition, in timing, in soul. Let dreams rise again. Let the right people find you.
This is sacred integration, a quiet miracle in motion.
Libra Rising
This season invites you into deeper connection – with your community, your future visions, and the part of you that still dares to dream big. But it also asks for courage: to express your joy fully, to be seen in your truth, and to open where you once protected.
Relationship healing stirs beneath the surface, reminding you that love begins with self-acceptance. As clarity arrives around your purpose and path, trust what feels heart-led.
You’re allowed to want more – of joy, of depth, of meaning. And this season, you’re supported in calling it in.
Scorpio Rising
This season calls you forward into visibility, into purpose, into the sacred work only you can do. But it also asks for depth: to release the old fears around recognition, to meet the vulnerability that comes with sharing your truth.
You may feel the tension between where you’ve come from and where you’re going – let that tension shape, not stop you.
There’s beauty in your becoming. There’s power in your presence. Let belief rise in your bones. Let your work be love in motion. And let the world witness the truth of who you are.
Sagittarius Rising
This season reawakens your hunger for meaning, but it’s no longer found in running away. Now, expansion asks for presence. For intimacy with your own joy, for honesty with your beliefs, for trust in the path even when it bends.
You may feel called to let go of old mental stories that limit your light or to deepen into healing that’s been waiting in your heart’s shadows. Let joy rise as a teacher. Let grief speak, too.
You are being initiated into a new relationship with truth – one that lives in your body, not just your mind.
Capricorn Rising
This season stirs your depths. It invites you into the undercurrents of intimacy, emotion, and transformation. Old fears around vulnerability, trust, or dependence may surface, but not to haunt you – to free you.
Let yourself be held where you once held it all. Let the walls soften around your heart.
With love blooming in the realm of relationships, this season offers a reminder: you don’t have to do it all alone. Strength is not isolation. Power is not control.
True richness begins in connection – to others, to emotion, and to the parts of you still learning to receive.
Aquarius Rising
This season is relational, but not in the surface sense. You’re being invited into deeper truth in your connections, where authenticity outweighs harmony and presence outshines performance.
This may be a time of healing how you communicate, how you relate, and how you remain true to yourself while opening to another. As old dynamics fall away, a more soulful way of relating is revealed.
Let love begin in the small things – in how you care for your body, how you tend to your space, how you speak from your heart. The right people meet you in your truth.
Pisces Rising
This season asks for gentle presence, for showing up not just in spirit, but in form. Through daily rituals, care for your body, and a return to simplicity, you find renewal.
You may be releasing old patterns of self-neglect or martyrdom, remembering that your service is sacred only when it includes you.
Joy wants to re-enter your world through creativity, pleasure, or simply allowing yourself to receive. You’re not here to disappear into the ethers. You’re here to root your magic into life.
This is a season of soft embodiment – where healing finds you in every step.
