Happy birthday to all the powerful lions, tigers, ocelots, kitties, jaguars and leopards on planet Earth āØ
Welcome to the Kingdom of Leo, prowling emperor of the savannah. Leo is ruled by the sun, so the sun is āat homeā for this cycle. This is auspicious. Itās why everyone loves Leo Season. It simply feels good, feels right.
Leo celebrates the unique individual within all of us. Part of this celebration involves luxury and leisure. Itās time to chill, take it easy, relax. Leo is associated with play and recreation. This includes taking time to focus on art and creative expression. āWork hard, play hardā is definitely a motto that applies to Leo, with an emphasis on play. Leo is also associated with children, the inner child, and the importance of continuing to be playful as an adult.
The idea behind Leo Season is that by spending more time with ourselves – loving and appreciating ourselves, expressing ourselves – we increase our self worth and self respect. Leo rules the ego but itās not all flames and fury. Balanced Leos channel the heat into healthy, productive trajectories.
Before Leo can activate, he has to reckon with a powerful anger / giant ball of plasma in his psyche. Leo’s personality is as strong as it gets. It comes with jagged edges and burning walls. It also carries a force rivaled by few. One karmic purpose behind incarnation as a Leo is to unlock the secret of his unstoppable will power.
Where’s the block? How to open it up? Which action can you take?
Meditate on manifestation. Meditate on creativity, expression, and pride.
In Ayurvedic medicine, Leo belongs to theĀ pitta dosha.Ā PittaĀ individuals are loyal and ambitious. Their character is like the fire element: assertive, active, decisive, and determined.Ā PittaĀ typesĀ should avoid nightshades (peppers, tomatoes, eggplant, etc) and oily/fried foods as these increase internal fire (agni) and therefore make the individual more aggressive or impatient.
During Leo Season, try eating cool foods like melon, cucumber, mint, basil, and raw foods. There are free, legitimate tests you can take online to determine your dosha. Search for ādosha testā or āprakriti test.ā I highly recommend finding out your dosha ā this is a HUGE help in deciding which foods are best for you.

Aug 1:Ā Super Full Moon in Aquarius š
Aug 6:Ā Sun squareĀ Jupiter in Taurus. Restless, unproductive use of energy. Unexpected changes. Meditate on rest and conservation of energy.
Aug 13:Ā Sun conjunct Venus Retrograde. This conjunction will hopefully just be a great time with loved ones but we should be careful not to over-exert. Get lots of rest. Watch for headaches.
Aug 15: Sun squareĀ Uranus in Taurus. Erratic energy, sudden change of plans, unusual weather patterns. Tension, social awkwardness, arguments. Tread lightly, trust your intuition.
