The summertime partying is about to rev up, because on July 22, 2023, the Sun enters its favorite sign, Leo! Over the next month, the Sun in Leo will make us all feel more loving, creative, and active. This one of the most fun months of the year, especially for fire signs Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius. On the other hand, fixed signs Taurus, Scorpio, and Aquarius are really feeling the heat right now.
Leo is the only sign ruled by the Sun, which mirrors the bright and creative energy that all Leos are known for. Like the Sun, Leos absolutely radiate their personalities out into the world, and no matter your own zodiac sign, you’re being encouraged to do the same right now. Whether it’s through words, singing, dancing, art, or a TikTok video, expressing yourself in any way possible is important. Even the least artistic people out there are feeling inspired, and you’re able to really pour your entire self into the work you do and things you create.
Leo is also the most fun-loving sign! And even if you’re a gloomy Scorpio, for the next month, you’re always able to find time for fun. But on the flip side, if you’re skipping work, ignoring your obligations, or being irresponsible so you can party it up 24/7, don’t be shocked when you have to face the consequences. Leo is also known for being the most self-centered sign, so seeing outside of your own POV is tough this month. Everyone is more stubborn and egotistical now—especially with Venus Retrograde happening at the same time—so play nice and try to cooperate. If you have an idea, say so. If you’re feeling something, share it. When you’re inspired, do something about it. Leo season is all about expressing yourself, shining bright, and new things—whether it’s a job, a personal project, or a relationship. Have fun, and enjoy the party! 🦁
Read your Sun/Rising sign horoscope for Leo season 2023:
Aries
Love is in the air this Leo season! Or at least a lot of lust is in the air. All of you single Aries out there are having a great time hooking up and going on date after date, but you need to know that the likelihood of any of these relationships sticking is low. Don’t let that kill your joy, though! Enjoy these new relationships as they come, without any expectations.
Taurus
Go back to your roots, Taurus. Spend time with your family. If your biological family is no good, hone in on your deepest relationships—your chosen family. Spruce up the decorations in your home. You’re much more of a homebody right now, but that doesn’t mean you’re not having fun. Throw a house party, or invite all of your friends over for dinner. Take plenty of cat naps in the meantime and use this month to recharge your batteries.
Gemini
Your phone is constantly ringing, your inbox is overflowing, everybody is hitting you up, and you’re loving it! This is one of the most social times of year for you, and your schedule is full with all sorts of little mini-adventures, get-togethers, and functions around town. You’re flexing all of your social muscles and making tons and tons of friends right now.
Cancer
There’s a lot of soul-searching going on at the beginning of Leo season. You’re really analyzing your morals and values—what and who really matter in your life. Your sign is stereotyped as submissive and docile, and that’ll be put to the test this month. Don’t compromise your morals to please others. Instead, be steadfast, and show people what kind of person you are through your values.
Leo
Happy birthday! It’s all about you right now, Leo, and you are seriously the star of the show. Think about what you want from life. This is your solar return, which makes it an amazing time to start fresh. What sort of work do you want to do? What are you passionate about? What kinds of relationships do you want? Get the ball rolling now, and you’ll see tons of growth in the long term.
Virgo
Leo season isn’t easy for you. While the rest of the world is living it up, Virgos are feeling a little invisible right now. It’s not that you can’t hang, it’s just that Leo season is encouraging you to spend some time with yourself. There’s a lot on your plate—old jobs, projects, relationships—that are holding you back from living your best life. Take this month to clear it all away so that when Virgo season begins, you can truly thrive!
Libra
Hey, social butterfly! You’re naturally lovable and charismatic, but Leo season’s vibe is making you even more of a social butterfly. In fact, it feels like you’re making friends everywhere you go. People tend to be more self-centered during Leo season, but you’re unique—you’re actually spending a ton of time celebrating others. Everyone needs a cheerleader, and as you celebrate the people around you, you’ll discover that they all want to be your cheerleader, too. Here’s to a great month with your squad!
Scorpio
You’re the main character right now, Scorpio! The pressure’s on right now, especially when it comes to your career. Anyone else would fold, but not you! You’re feeling more driven to succeed now, and you’re doing your absolute best. Keep going all-in, because your work will 100% be recognized by the end of the season, and you’ll reap tons of rewards.
Sagittarius
You pride yourself on how well-rounded you are. You never back down from a challenge, you love to try new things, and exploring is one of your favorite activities. This Leo season is giving you all of that and more! Surprise travel opportunities are likely to come up, and whether it’s for work or for pleasure, you’re going places that promise to widely broaden your horizons and provide tremendous growth.
Capricorn
You like to be 100% in control, but here’s the thing: you’re not. This month, you’re facing this fact and learning just how much control others have in your life. Whether it’s an intimate relationship, a binding contract, or those taxes you owe to the IRS, there are obligations that we must accept and take care of—and lately, you’ve not been taking care of them. Make sure you’re doing your part, and you can restore and maintain balance.
Aquarius
Leo season = cuffing season for your sign! Usually this is the perfect time for meeting new people, starting partnerships, and initiating new relationships, but unfortunately, Venus Retrograde is here to make that realm of life a little messy for you. This can still be a time where you meet amazing new people, but to avoid drama in your already-existing relationship, being cooperative and flexible is an absolute must. Everyone is more stubborn now, you need to try to be more accommodating.
Pisces
Take better care of yourself! You can’t be the best possible version of yourself if you’re in couch potato mode 24/7, DoorDashing every meal, and ignoring the mile-high stack of bills on your counter. All I can say is that it’s time to get to work. Tidy up, get active, and start living a more sustainable life. Your mood will drastically improve, you’ll become a more radiant person, and life will feel way easier once you’ve cleared away all the clutter.
