Sagittarius | 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 9th House | The Heart of Adventure
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.
Sagittarius, Leo Season is like a wild horizon calling your name—a season made of the same fire that fuels your restless spirit. After Cancer Season’s deep dive into emotional entanglements and inner transformation, you’re now ready to stretch out again, to become more, to remember that life is vast and full of untold stories.
This is the part of your chart that speaks to truth, faith, travel, expansion, and higher learning—the house of the seeker and sage. You’re not just hungry for new information; you’re craving meaning, the kind that electrifies your beliefs and opens doorways into the mythic.
Let this be your time of pilgrimage—literal or metaphorical. The road doesn’t need to be clear or linear. It just needs to move you. Let the detours reveal something precious about who you’re becoming. Let philosophy feel like a love affair. Let your worldview be rewritten by something holy and strange.
The Leo New Moon on July 24th invites you to plant a bold seed in the realm of vision and wisdom. What truth are you living into? What beliefs do you want to embody more fully? With Pluto casting a shadow over this moon, there’s power in breaking with old dogmas or inherited stories that no longer resonate. Don’t be afraid to disrupt the narrative.
The call now is toward something larger than yourself—but it begins within. Let your heart cast the spell. Let your imagination be the compass. The light you follow this season could lead you to your next great quest.
The animating guide of The Season
Sol in the 9th House | The Creative Sage
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 Radiant Quest”
The Sun rides high and wide in your chart now, setting its sights on distant horizons—literal and metaphorical. Leo Season sparks your 9th house, and with it, the call to seek, to question, to roam beyond the edge of what you already know.
This is not idle curiosity—it’s heart hunger. The kind that only grows brighter when fed truth, beauty, and a bit of risk.
The solar archetype here is the philosopher-king, the inspired traveler, the wild-hearted teacher who doesn’t just study wisdom—but lives it.
Its sacred agenda:
To ignite your belief in something larger than yourself.
To help you speak from a place of heart-knowing, not just opinion.
To urge you into joyful experiences that reshape your worldview.
This is the season to:
Say yes to the journey that excites and unnerves your courage.
Share your vision with the creativity it deserves.
Let joy be your compass—and truth your torch.
Whether you're traveling physically or philosophically, this moment stretches you toward something more meaningful, more aligned, more alive.
Your story doesn’t end at the border of the known.
The Sun wants to see what happens when you chase the light to its furthest edge—and come back a wise leader.
Seek boldly.
Teach what you live.
Live what sets you free.
Your Ground and Materialization of the Season
Earth in the 3rd House | Mental Nourishment
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.
While Leo Season beckons you to explore, learn, and seek new horizons, Earth in Aquarius reminds you to stay rooted in your local web.
Tend to the electricity you build in your connective threads. Give time to process what feels aligned in your inner world in how you are identifying and belonging in innovative spaces. Integrate gentle knowings telling you how to use your collaborative mind.
The Aquarius Full Moon might bring revelations about communication, your immediate environment, or your mindset. Let your long-view philosophy translate into grounded, everyday connections. Let truth be a conversation.
Personal & Continuous aims
Your Radiant becoming
PHASE OF Sagittarius’ YEARLY SEEDS | Shining & Refining
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 about returning to your core self with fresh perspective, vision that lights you up, and a reboot in how you are pushing your boundaries.
As you step into Leo Season, your becoming is starting to feel stronger, more courageous, and more creative in approaching fresh mysteries. You may be more willing to go toe-to-toe with collaborators and foes. It’s all about creative communion and putting your heart into the world.
Around July 31st, you start to move more toward purpose. What does your light serve? What purpose feels right, possibly different than what you set out for it to be. This is a time to trim the fat, make priorities, and organize your shine so it’s more productively pointed. What is the technique of your becoming?
Your Archetypal Journey
jupiter in The 8th houses | Belief in Blood
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, is the Sage, the Mentor, the Pilgrim, and the Seeker.
Jupiter: The Sage/Your Ruler | Stage: Test of Faith | Sign: Cancer | House: 8th | Gemini 7th House-Themed Journey
Theme: Trust, Transformation, and Relational Alchemy
You began this cycle with a question cradled in Gemini’s breeze:
"What if relationship is a dialogue of souls, not just minds?"
In your 7th house, Jupiter once danced in twin flame mirrors, seeking wisdom through contrast, through sparking debates, playful minds, and alluring opposites. Partnerships then were invitations—doorways to possibility, not permanence.
But now, the journey has pulled you deeper—into the well of the 8th house, where mirrors melt and only feeling remains.
Here, Jupiter in Cancer no longer debates the truth—it feels it, grieves it, protects it.
This is not belief as idea. It is belief as blood memory.
It is the trial by water, not fire.
You are finishing the Trials of Belief—not through conflict, but through surrender.
Through unlearning inherited loyalties.
Through softening your grip on what you swore you'd always need.
Through trusting the intimacy that doesn’t need to be spoken aloud.
Jupiter in Cancer has made you both seeker and caretaker.
You've held space for others' pain while secretly mapping your own.
Now you realize: shared vulnerability is not weakness—it is your temple.
The more you feel, the more you know.
Soon, you will emerge as the Sage—
but not one who speaks from mountaintops.
This time, you’ll speak from a hearth,
from the quiet confidence of someone who has sat with the storm
and listened to its lullaby.
Let this final stretch of the Trials of Belief teach you this:
some truths are not taught.
They are inherited, remembered, embodied—
and finally, forgiven.
Mantra:
"I let the waters shape me. I let belief soften into truth. I trust the intimacy of my becoming."
