Leo Season 2024 Cosmic Style Guide
Good hair days and bold choices are on the horizon.
Welcome to Leo Season!
No matter where Leo lands in your chart (or the planets you may or may not have there) when the sun is here, you have the opportunity to work with its magic in your own unique way.
As a fixed (stabilizing) fire sign, Leo is connected to the ways we establish our identity and make it known to the world.
In contrast to the previous sign of Cancer, Leo is ready to let their guard down and open up to life — wholeheartedly. They use all of that beautiful, nurturing emotional processing and incubation we experienced in Cancer and transform it into something they want to share with the world.
Cancer urged us to surf our inner waves and navigate the rip tides with acceptance, in Leo we let the safety and trust we created for ourselves fuel bold action and generosity on a bigger scale.
Represented by the lion, Leo is known for being prideful, but not without justification — they’re the queens and kings of the savannah, after all. They know when to take tenacious action and go after what they need and want. But when they rest, they relax fully, luxuriating in the sweetness and playfulness that’s on offer.
Practice pampering and playing unapologetically and start to notice what coalesces.
Leo season is a great time to step into your main character energy. It’s hot girl summer time! Take selfies as a spiritual practice! Wear *that* dress! Big hair, bigger heart!
In Sun-ruled Leo, we touch into our energy, vitality, and the ways in which we’re meant to shine. There’s a boundlessness to Leo energy that gives generously and radiates warmth no matter what — like the sun. And we’re given the opportunity embody that this month.
Take some time to feel into your own sun sign this season, too — its gifts, the energy it provides, and how it can help you grow.
Show up, let yourself be seen, and express from the core of you wherever and whenever you can.
