Pisces | Leo Season 2025
The Universal Overlay
Leo Season | July 22 - August 22
Welcome to one of the juiciest, most theatrical times of the year—Leo Season!
Last season, Cancer invited us inward. It initiated the summer quarter with a call to root, nurture, and settle into the softer places of life: home, family, intuition, and the emotional foundations that hold us. Now, with sturdier footing beneath us, we emerge from those tender waters into the full heat and radiance of the Sun. It's time to shine.
Leo, ruled by the Sun and ignited by fire, reigns during the high noon of this season—when the days are bold, hot, and full of potential. This is a season of creative ripening. The fruits of our spring intentions are beginning to swell, but we’re not harvesting just yet. This moment between bloom and fruition? It’s prime territory for light, drama, and... a few pests. Just like the buzzing insects drawn to sweetness, sharing your radiance may sometimes attract unwanted attention or energy. Do you ever dim your light just to keep the buzz at bay?
This is the season of performance. The emotional fluidity of Cancer evolves into energy-in-motion—e-motion—infused with Monkey-like antics, a thirst for movement, and a love of mischief. If you channel this restless brilliance with purpose, it can blossom into leadership. Your heart, now swelling with vitality, is ready to gather, inspire, and rally others into something meaningful and victorious.
So go play. Bask in sunlight. Take joy-filled trips. Flirt with summer love. But also tune into the deeper stirrings—what your heart longs to spotlight, what creative spark is ready to take center stage. This isn’t Gemini’s experimental rehearsal anymore. Leo calls for your boldest self-expression—from a place of confidence and clarity.
This season kicks off with a theatrical twist: a New Moon in Leo on July 24th (1:10 pm MT). This New Moon is potent—seeding radiant dreams right in Leo’s throne room, but tangled in a tight opposition to Pluto. What you begin now may lead you into confrontations with powerful forces, themes of influence and integrity, or archetypal battles with bold, domineering figures. This is a call for heart-led courage—leadership that resists control and uplifts collective brilliance. Your own heart will go through a metamorphosis over the next year. Let it.
The Aquarius Full Moon on August 9th brings a mirror moment, reminding us that the power of our radiance is amplified when it serves the people. Leo leads with heart. Aquarius ensures it serves the whole.
And one final cosmic footnote: Mercury is retrograde in Leo this season. That means it’s not the ideal time to start brand-new projects, sign contracts, or make big-ticket purchases—especially anything with moving parts (think tech, cars, bikes). Instead, focus on revisiting, refining, and revising the creations already in motion. They’re ready for feedback, elevation, and the final polish before they take their bow.
So—welcome to the Season of the Sun. May it be bold, bright, and brilliantly unscripted. Get playful, get passionate, and let your heart take the lead.How the Season Activates You
Your Dimensional Growth
sun In The 6th House | Sacred Radiance
As the Sun moves through the signs and houses, it shines a light on a dimension of you. This helps you to become well-rounded and develop holistically.
Pisces, Leo Season arrives like a golden invitation to reconnect with vitality, joy, and purpose in your daily life. After Cancer Season’s emotional immersion—a time when you were reminded of what truly nourishes your creative soul—you now step into a rhythm of renewed engagement. This is a season that wants to ignite your habits with meaning and infuse your rituals with radiance.
Leo rules your sixth house of service, health, and the sacred in the everyday. It’s less about glamour and more about devotion. What are you doing with your days that fills your spirit rather than drains it? What kinds of labor feel like love songs to the universe? Leo’s solar fire urges you to move your body, tend to your wellbeing, and make space for creative structure. Your inner artist needs a solid container now—not to limit, but to support the divine chaos of inspiration.
The Leo New Moon on July 24th is a bright spark in the center of your year. Here, you’re called to set intentions around your role as a healer, an artisan, a gentle steward of light in the world. With Pluto opposing this new moon, old subconscious patterns may rise—perhaps a tendency to sacrifice your health for others or to hide your gifts behind humility. Let this be a turning point. Commit to a new devotion: to your body, your energy, your sacred yes.
This is a time to fall in love with the life you live each day—not in grand performances, but in golden routines. Let your rituals become radiant. Let your service be heartfelt. The world needs your quiet leadership now, your imaginative ways of weaving healing and art into the fabric of daily life.
The animating guide of The Season
Sol in the 6th House | The Flame Tender
The Sun is the ruling body of the season, the archetype of our star, performer, leader, and sovereign self. This aspect of ourselves will activate to respond to Leo Season’s tone and circumstances, guide our actions, and give us a stance, or mythic script, in how we evolve, develop, engage life, and express.
“The Radiance of Devotion”
Leo Season enters the temple of your daily life now, where the Sun doesn’t demand grandeur—it seeks integrity. The 6th house is where you show up, day after day, not just for others—but for yourself. And Leo’s light says: even your smallest habits can be holy.
The Sun here becomes the ritual artist, the dedicated heart, the one who tends the flame even when no one is watching.
Its agenda is humble but profound:
To light up your relationship with work, wellness, and service.
To help you bring pride and purpose into what sustains you.
To remind you that how you do something is just as important as what you do.
This is a season to:
Align your daily actions with your deeper desires.
Let joy infuse the ordinary.
Recommit to your health—not just as maintenance, but as an act of reverence.
Leo Season here doesn’t ask for applause.
It asks for presence.
It teaches that routine can be radiant when done with heart.
Let this be the season you:
Tend to your body like a beloved companion.
Create rituals that ground your spirit.
Offer your work like sunlight—steady, generous, true.
The way you serve is not separate from your soul.
You are allowed to shine in every detail.
Your Ground and Materialization of the Season
Earth in The 12th House | Rooted dreams
In tandem with dimensional growth in our solar season, Earth’s placement, directly opposite the Sun’s reach and exerting energy, shows the dimension of us that has become the fertile ground maturing underfoot. It’s normal to feel like our efforts in a solar season aren’t paying off, but they will, in time, when that sign becomes the Earth’s sign, the ground holding us, embodied and tangible. Look to the Earth sign to tend to what is maturing and growing in your roots and soul, that needs you to be receptive and caring.
Leo Season asks you to refine your habits and work, to serve with devotion—but Earth in Aquarius urges a different kind of devotion: one to the mystery.
Grounding comes in solitude, spiritual practice, and trust in the unseen. Process what humane compassion and inspiration feel right with your inner self. Integrate dreams of electric art that sit quietly at home in your depths.
The Aquarius Full Moon could highlight buried emotions or psychic patterns asking for release. Root in the invisible. Let your dreams recalibrate your path.
Personal & Continuous aims
Your Radiant becoming
PHASE OF Pisces’ YEARLY SEEDS | Shaping & Pollinating
Separate from the Sun shining a light on our different dimensions through the signs and houses, we have another solar journey—a spiral journey of Conscious Evolution and Radiant Becoming—the path of illumination. I track this journey from your sign’s new moon to its next new moon, with a formula that’s a bit my own.
Your seeds this year are embedded with a return to your natural state of surrender. As you clear out the closet of a past chapter of life, you release the weight and overlays that have stood in the way of trusting the universe to steer your course with magic, open-heartedness, and faith in the flow of life. Your passion, aligned with this kind of trust, will naturally lead you toward more lit-up directions. You are releasing ego, expectations, and resistance in order to find your true north this year.
At the start of Leo Season, your yearly seeds of becoming are in a spring phase. Like planting a garden, it’s a time to create the right conditions. What soil, light, water, fertilizer, neighboring energies, and challenges are needed to thrive? On a more concrete level, it can be a time of feeling more embodied, attending to beauty, and shaping your physical world. Values may bring sharper black-and-white sensitivities—and that’s okay. Sometimes it’s the tough polarities in life that help us recognize how different sides can still offer essential support.
Around July 31st, a new phase begins to unfurl. You may crave movement, experimentation, connection, and information. This is a time to create possibilities. Allow yourself—and your yearly goals—to be a bit fickle and unsettled right now. It’s like back-to-school shopping as a kid, trying on a thousand things at ten different stores. Don’t fully commit yet. Put things on hold. By the end of the next 30 days, the things that truly resonate will stay with you.
There can be spinning energy at this time, along with inner tensions around what ‘fits’ and where you ‘fit.’ Some identity and belonging tensions are trying to harmonize within you as you bounce off your local world, peers, and lots of information.
Your Archetypal Journey
jupiter in The 5th house | Heart Opening
The planet that rules your sign gives you an archetype—a leading character flavor. This planet is a central part of how you show up and your personal agenda. We go on journeys in the skin of our archetypes, like leading characters in books and films. Your ruler, Jupiter, the Spiritual Guide, the Poet-Saint, the Dreamer, and the Mystic.
Jupiter: The Spiritual Guide/Your Ruler | Stage: Test of Faith | Sign: Cancer | House: 5th | Gemini 4th House-Themed Journey
You planted this journey in a house of echoes—
the 4th, where Gemini filled your roots with questions:
"Whose story did I inherit?"
"Which thoughts are mine, and which were whispered to me in childhood lullabies?"
Jupiter there was a collector of meaning—piecing together a mental mosaic of home,
each memory a tile in the myth you call self.
But the journey led you onward—
into the 5th house of Cancer, where the mind cannot explain what the heart knows.
Here, Jupiter cannot save you through logic or theory.
This is the house where you learn that the heart has its own grief,
its own rhythm of release.
And now, you are surrendering.
Not because you want to—
but because it is time.
This is not the surrender of defeat, but of transfiguration.
Old dreams may die here,
not because they were wrong,
but because they were too small for your becoming.
Jupiter in Cancer’s 5th doesn't just want to create—
it wants to feel creation move through you.
But to do that, your ego must soften.
The persona you built to be seen, admired, loved—
it may crumble now, gently or all at once.
You are being hollowed out to become a holy instrument.
This is the sacred ache of the Mystic in the 5th—
mourning the lost child within you
even as you midwife a new kind of joy.
Let the tears water your art.
Let the absence become a cradle.
Let your heart break open—not apart.
Soon, Jupiter will rise into communion,
and you will remember what you were always meant to express:
not a self polished for applause—
but a soul laid bare in devotion.
Mantra:
"I surrender the mask of identity. I offer my heart as a sanctuary for the divine. I let joy be holy, even in its undoing."
