Sun Enters Leo
Sun Enters Leo

The sun comes home to Leo, bestowing confidence and glamour to an energetic atmosphere that’s felt a bit fraught since Mercury began its retrograde. Mercury retrograde in Leo answers to the sun, so while the sun was fighting the tides in the final decan of Cancer (a moon-ruled decan, adding extra lunar intensity), the expression of the collective ego was bound to the *emotion* of miscommunication. Rx mixups haven’t only been awkward; the confusion has been compounded by feeling nostalgia for the wrong things.
The sun’s entrance into Leo is stabilizing. Not only does its ingress lighten the mood, but it also helps us to delineate what we do and don’t need to be taking personally right now. Some snafus have nothing to do with us – we’re simply caught in the crossfire of others’ existential crises as they navigate their personal retrograde story.
However, some snafus ARE of our own making, by accident or pride, and the sun’s entrance to Leo marks the point where we can examine our culpability and adjust how we communicate. While we’re still invested in either *being* right or being *portrayed* in the right light (a perpetual Leo concern), we’ll also be more amenable to taking responsibility where we can, because we don’t care for the heavy drama. Light-hearted drama, yes. Theatrical drama, yes. But messy drama? Not so much. If we’re going to take up more space and be SEEN, we want it to be for the right reasons!
Above all, Leo season is a time when we ache to be loved for who we are! Our creative, social and romantic priorities are heart-centered. We want others to enjoy our company and be entertained by what we share. So, if we take the time to validate others in the same way that we wish to be validated, we’ll be in good shape.
