Sun in Leo: Let Your Ego Roar

As the earth circles the Sun, it is the Sun that appears to be moving through the zodiac. Each sign of the zodiac hosts the sun for a month. Beginning July 22 until August 23, the Sun will be in the zodiac sign Leo. In that time, it will have an influence on the day-to-day events that we all go through.

In astrology, the Sun is the ruler of the human ego. Wherever it is in the zodiac can tell you a lot about the manner in which people are acting self-centered. Leo, the most royal sign in the zodiac, is the sign in astrology that is ruled by the Sun. In the positive sense, Leo is a sign of leadership and commitment to one’s vision. In the negative, this is a zodiac sign that is all drama and too self-centered to take criticism.

Even if you were not born under the sign of Leo, you will be affected by the Sun’s visit there. Your ego can gain in strength and confidence or it can embrace narcissism and alienate others as you obsess about your own narrative with no connection to the world around you or those in it. Read your sign’s forecast below to see the best way to make use of the Sun’s energy during its visit to the sign of the Lion.

    The Bright Side: The Sun will be moving to your zodiac sign next month, so this is a great month to wind up personal obligations and tie up the loose ends of responsibilities. Prepare now for a growth experience.

  • Pisces February 19 – March 20

    The Bright Side: Your energy level is off the charts and you can get a few things done that have been sitting around, unfinished, for some time. Organizing your desk and cleaning out your car should top the list.
    The Dark Side: Procrastination in new and inventive ways will be a detriment to your development. A codependent relationship will wrap up most of your time if you are not careful.
