This morning the Sun moved into Tropical Leo marking a shift in season as we enter into the time of year when the Sun’s strength is at its peak in the Northern Hemisphere.

Leo Season this year brings heightened, explosive fire. As the Sun and Mercury travel into conjunction in August, they both trine Chiron, Mars, Lilith and Eris in Aries. This flow of fire through our collective body feels like the upsurging of ancestral pain and righteous calls for healing and repair; it feels like unchecked aggression and over-the-top violence and force when that pain remains unconscious and convinced of its separation; it feels like no-holds-barred-burn-this-fucker-to-the-ground chaos, anarchism, cathartic fury; it feels like bravery and determination; it feels like a dawning mass consciousness that communities and bodies which have been disproportionately violated and marginalized are the exact communities and bodies that hold the keys and wisdom for any kind of sustainable, joyful future.

Through all of this, Leo’s heart-centered symbolism points us to the power of joy, celebration, creativity, authenticity, and the power of love. Leo reminds us that we need all of us here, hands on deck, working in all the ways we do to create our culture-shift. We need us working through protest, organizing, loving/tending/caring, creating, voicing, uplifting, resisting. We need us BEING, not performing bullshit old-paradigm fearful complacency, but BEING in our bodies, BEING in our hearts, BEING with this incredibly important moment,  this incredibly potent time.

I dive deep into Leo Season’s symbolism in this month’s podcast and horoscopes (scroll to find your horoscopes at the bottom of the page).

In yesterday’s Leo Season Attunement ritual we worked through embodiment and astrology to connect with our inner children and our most essential/central axes of essence and radiance. We practiced accessing and utilizing the tools of heartFULL expression, truth-telling, dance parties, and silliness for resistance to oppression and tyranny. We spent time working with astrology basics to understand where and how Leo moves through our charts so that we can align our energies this season with healing, transformative fire. The recorded workshop is available for download now and will be available throughout the month to support you in your healing journey with this sign and through this season.

Registration is also now open for the upcoming Aquarius Full Moon and Leo New Moon Lunar Attunement and Virgo Season Solar Attunement rituals as well as my upcoming 3-day intensive, Pivot. Shift. Transform - Using astrology to change your life and change the world in 2020 and 2021

ARIES
Cut through misalignments in your identity,
and find the center of your true self.
Sense into the fluctuations and fragmentations
where your self has been severed from the source of your wholeness.
Heal by opening, accepting, expanding and expressing.
Do not hide from the radiance that you truly are.

TAURUS
When you reside in your heart-center,
the choices are easy. You know clearly
that your doing and being needs to be natural, authentic, sincere.
Don’t perform for anyone else’s standards.
Don’t build your own too-small boxes of conformity.
Trust. There is plenty of space and a deep need
for you to be who you, uniquely and truly, are.

GEMINI
Truth is subjective, but honesty is a state of being.
Watch yourself. When do you play games with your own mind?
When do you turn away from what you know?
Learn to listen for the subtle sense of truth.
It is quiet, calm, whole, unmistakable.

CANCER
Invest in your happiness, your passion, your joy.
If you don’t want to waste time and energy
trying to take care of those who won’t care for themselves.
Then care for yourself. With confidence. With courage.

LEO
Your primary obligation and need is to shine your light bright.
Refuse to be dimmed and caught in dis-ease
by schedules and systems of suffering.
This is your life.
Make fierce, passionate, dedicated, joyful choices to live it.

VIRGO
There is no guaranteed outcome of success or recognition.
Even if you’ve already experienced success and recognition.
At this point, your goal should be self-satisfaction.
How you express and what you offer can elevate and expand you
or constrict you in competition and judgement.
The choice is only yours to make.

LIBRA
You are becoming increasingly conscious of your unconscious allegiances.
Dig deep into your past and ancestry
to unwind the knots of unhealthy enmeshment,
and clarify the connections of love.
Your work now is for the future
which means it’s also for the past.

SCORPIO
Your mind is a powerful force.
Your heart is more powerful.
When your mind and your heart work together
your power reaches its greatest potential.
Remind yourself of this connection every day and
embody this connection in everything you do.

SAGITTARIUS
Your heart is always your most powerful guide
and skillful mentor.
Pay attention to what love feels like
and how your awareness moves when your heart is open wide and receptive.

CAPRICORN
Attend to the love inside of you
the love that is you and that always has been you.
Attend to your inner child, your playful spirit, your innocent self.
Attend to your roots and the ways they may have tangled and choked.
Remember…
You are love. You are free. Your are courage. You are spirit.

AQUARIUS
Notice how you prepare yourself to perceive.
What do you expect? What do you fear?
What information are you open to receiving? What shuts you down fast?
No one resides in a neutral state for long.
Accept your constant biases and seek to understand them.

PISCES
Get real, get practical.
How do you use your energy, time, resource, money, power?
This is a time on Earth that is calling for all of us to participate actively.

How can you practically and tangibly align your life
in accordance with these desires?
