Horoscopes for Leo Season
This Leo Season, Venus is retrograde in Leo. The last two to three years of intense Aquarius transits has had us centering the social good over own individual needs, learning about what can grow within us when we’re following our highest ideals for the world around us.
Now, Venus retrograde in the sign opposite Aquarius has us re-evaluating our relationship to our own ego needs. Venus Retrograde may bring to the surface our need to receive external validation from those around us, to be recognized for our unique contributions and gifts.
The Full Moon in Aquarius on August 1 is a time to reflect on the structural shifts that have taken place in your life since the end of 2020, shifts that came from centering your social values, ideals, and community. How has an intention or plan set in motion in February of this year around your social values come to fruition?
The New Moon on August 14 is a time to set an intention for the next six months about centering your own creativity, passion projects, and joyful endeavors.
In between now and the New Moon, pay attention to the moments where you attract or are attracted to something unusual or unexpected, especially stemming from any efforts you’ve made in the last three months to put your truest self out there. These unexpected attractions may manifest as an opportunity later in the month of August.
See below for how this Leo season will affect your sign (for the most accurate horoscope, look at your Rising sun, but Sun signs and Moon signs also work)
Aries
After a few years focused on building friendships and social collectives inspired by your highest ideals and social values, this Leo season has you reorienting toward your own need for pleasure and personal self-fulfillment. Maybe you’re finding that things that previously brought you pleasure or provided a creative pastime no longer are cutting it for you. Look for how an unusual money opportunity may spark the creative fire. You might now be able to afford to have more fun!
Taurus
After a few years of focusing on your career and public mission, this Leo season has you reorienting toward your foundations of home and private life, maybe reflecting on which values from childhood or early social conditioning you want to keep and which you want to shed. Maybe you’re finding out where the root of your need for social validation and popularity come from and how that has informed your quest for a socially acceptable career or public image. Look for how an unusual relationship or even a new way that you’re received by others may allow you to be validated for who you truly are. Don’t be afraid to make a statement. Those that are meant to be in your life will recognize you and find you!
Gemini
After a few years of travel or study into esoteric topics or new academic projects, this Leo season has you reorienting to your local community and how you share what you know with those around you. Maybe you’re realizing the gap between what you know, what you have to say, and how it is received by those you want to communicate with. Look for how your spiritual and transcendental sources of divine wisdom give you even more to digest and chew on in order to figure out how to transmit information in an accessible way. You might need a new audience willing to receive your wisdom!
Cancer
After a few years of focusing on shared resources, communal living, chosen family, and obligations that come from relationships, you’re reorienting toward your relationship with money, how you earn your keep, and self-sufficiency. Maybe you’re realizing that individual recognition is necessary to earn the compensation you deserve and need to sustain yourself. Look out for an unusual social connection that will recognize you and your true worth. Often it is our second-degree connections, and not our closest tribe, who are willing to pay us what we’re worth.
Leo
After a few years of focusing on your intimate relationships and partnerships, especially creating partnership as a channel for your ideal self to thrive, or even looking to significant others to live out your ideals, this Leo season has you re-evaluating how you cultivate an individual self-image as the creative project of your life. Maybe you’re realizing that you have work to do on yourself, especially if a new career is allowing others to see you in a different or unexpected light. Allow this new public mission to pull you toward a more intentional creation of selfhood!
Virgo
After a few years of focusing on your daily to do lists, work, and life responsibilities, this Leo season has you re-evaluating how and if your life has a bigger, more transpersonal meaning. How is who you are larger than what you do? What are you known for even when you’re not around? What impact do you have on the world around you? Look for an opportunity to expand your sense of self in the world through an unexpected travel opportunity or course of study. Seek out new holy texts on your path to higher purpose!
Libra
After a few years of focusing on your love life or creative passion projects or hobbies, this Leo season may have you reorienting to your idea of community and seeking validation from a community of like-minded people who validate your creative gifts. Maybe you’re finding yourself either amongst a different group of friends or relating to your group of friends in a different and unexpected way. Look for how an unusual opportunity to share and invest in shared resources may draw different kinds of people into your orbit. You might build community based on mutual support.
Scorpio
After a few years of burrowing down and focusing on home and your private life, especially home as a site to heal your inner child and live out your unorthodox values around family, this Leo season has you re-evaluating your career, and how you need validation from the work you’re known for. Maybe you’re realizing that for you, a career needs to be a creative outlet or an outlet to be recognized for your unique contributions. Look for an unusual or unexpected collaborator, partner, or confidante to animate a business or career opportunity. They might provide the support you need to make the career shift!
Sagittarius
After a few years of learning and exploring new ideas, especially related to your social values, this Leo season has you reorienting to your search for higher meaning, whether to organized religion or any of the philosophies, holy texts, or high law you believe in and follow. Maybe you’re realizing that engagement with a higher belief system is an important outlet for expressive and creative self-realization. Look for how any unusual opportunities in your daily life or work animate how what you do is always, already informed by what you believe in. The choices you make to structure your day come from the moral codes you choose to follow.
Capricorn
After a few years of getting serious about money matters and how you can better support yourself, this Leo season has you reorienting to how you share yourself and what you have with those you’re intimately connected to. Maybe you’re realizing that while you’re more than capable of doing for yourself, your most soulful connections might ask you to risk it all by pouring into the collective pot. Look out for an unexpected gift to your pleasure projects that might point the way to where your investments should go. Share yourself with others from a place of abundance!
Aquarius
After a few years of getting serious about cultivating a self-image, where you’re received by others for your humanitarian and idealistic qualities, this Leo season has you reorienting to partnership and what you can do with and for others. Maybe you’re realizing that relationships are the space where your contributions are most admired and most meaningfully felt. Look for an unexpected opportunity, maybe a major move or home renovation project, that animates home as a space of abundance and highlights who else you can share it with.
Pisces
After a few years of getting serious about a spiritual or transpersonal path or the legacy you want to leave in the world, this Leo season has you getting busy at work or in your daily life or responsibilities. Maybe you’re realizing that faith or a devotional path must come with good acts in order to be recognized as such. Pay attention to how your spirit of generosity can be an offering to those you work with or who work under you or for you. This season might be about practicing servant leadership.
