Introduction to Leo Season 2024

The Sun moved into Leo on Monday, July 22nd, 2024, and will remain there until August 22nd. After four weeks of focusing on internal reflection and what we need to feel secure during Cancer season, we are ready to come out from under our shell and start integrating back into the external world. Leo provides us with the energy and space we need to express ourselves authentically and do the things we love with confidence.

The Energies and Traits of Leo Season

Leo is ruled by the Sun, which is bright, fiery, and gives us vitality. Spiritually, the Sun symbolizes our soul and inner light. As we continue to peel back the layers to uncover who we truly are at a deep soul level, we may find it difficult to express this “new” version of ourselves in the world. Leo invites us to accept and love ourselves unconditionally. Each of us is unique and possesses many different, beautiful talents, and this season is for celebrating that.

Embracing Authentic Self-Expression

Leo is represented by the Lion, a prideful and courageous being. Leo natives are confident, enthusiastic, and love being in the spotlight. When the Sun transits the sign of Leo, we should strive to embody these traits. Since Leo rules the 5th house, we are also called to express ourselves creatively, embark on fun projects, and seek things that bring us pleasure and joy. If there are things we have felt called to but have been too scared to pursue, use this time to work through that fear and harness the courageous energy of Leo to assist you.

Boosting Self-Confidence During Leo Season

We can learn many great lessons from Leo, most importantly the lessons of self-worth and strength. Self-confidence does not come naturally to many of us, as our external environment may not have supported its development when we were young. We get the opportunity during this period to explore different ways to strengthen our sense of self and become aware of our personal power. We all have the power to achieve our goals and take up space in the world—we just need to claim it.

Reflective Questions for Leo Season 2024:

• Am I living authentically and expressing my true self?
• How can I incorporate more joy and creativity into my life?
• What can I do to increase my self-esteem and confidence?

Conclusion

Leo season 2024 is a time to shine brightly, embrace our true selves, and step into our power. By reflecting on these questions and engaging with the vibrant energy of Leo, we can make the most of this transformative period.

Note: The title of this post was inspired by a song by Chelsea Wolfe called “Place in the Sun.” She tells the story of a painful and lonely dark night of the soul and the healing that followed. The second half of the song describes the feeling of being safe within herself, acknowledging how far she has gotten herself through life, and the proclamation of stepping into your power, pursuing your path, and living your truth.
