Here's everything you need to know about Leo season in 2025 and what the season may bring for your specific zodiac sign.
What Is Leo Season?
For a sense of how Leo functions in astrology and influences the weeks between mid-July and mid-August, it's helpful to think about the sign's ruler, the sun, which oversees identity, confidence, self-image, expression of pride, life path, and self-esteem. The sun colors who you are at your very core - specifically, what empowers you and what drives you. For that reason, Leo takes great pride in sense of self and stepping into and standing strongly in your personal power.
The fixed fire sign also teaches the importance of owning your voice and loving yourself unconditionally, and Leo season is an opportunity to foster these skills. Because Leo loves to shine and lead the charge, Leo season is also a chance to command the spotlight and embrace any chance to run the show, even if that's only in terms of setting lofty new personal goals and creating an ambitious game plan for achieving them. Leo energy encourages a glass-half-full, action-oriented approach - you can accomplish what you set out to because you believe you can.
Charismatic, determined, and bold, anyone who has their sun sign, rising sign, or moon sign in Leo is a dynamic go-getter who excels at being the center of attention. Associated with the fifth house of romance and self-expression, Leo shines when entertaining, engaging, and soaking up attention from others. The sign's energy can magnify your artistic impulses and desire for love, luxury, fun, and drama - ideally, the kind that's entertaining versus agitating. With the sun blazing during the long days and star-filled nights, this is the perfect time for steamy dates and Gatsby-like parties.
When Is Leo Season?
In 2025, Leo season begins on July 22 and ends on Aug. 22.
Leo Season 2025: What to Expect
In 2025, Leo season could feel like a month that was made for stepping back into your past, thanks to Mercury being retrograde in Leo from July 17 to Aug. 11. This means that you may need to tie up loose ends, revise, reflect, and reimagine your aspirations before you can plow forward. This can cause some conflict, given that action-oriented fire sign Leo prefers to move ahead, but once Mercury goes direct on Aug. 11, you can begin to apply any lessons you've learned over the course of the retrograde.
Later in the month, the Leo new moon on July 24 sets a sweet, thrilling, and imaginative tone that you can take advantage of by escaping your everyday grind, embracing adventure, romance, and leaning into any urge to strike out on your own. Then, right on the heels of the new moon, on July 24-25, the sun will oppose Pluto, the planet of transformation and power, and a crisis tied to a relationship could push you to a breaking point. Do your best to remain calm in the face of power struggles and miscommunications.
On July 30, Venus, the planet of relationships, moves from buzzy Gemini into sentimental Cancer, bringing a more nurturing and emotional vibe to your bonds, romance, beauty, and earning. And on Aug. 6, Mars, the planet of action, energy, and sex, shifts into Libra, the cardinal air sign known to prize balance and abhor conflict. With these planetary movements, you may find it to be tougher than usual to express anger, and you'll want to see all sides of an issue before making a move.
On Aug. 9, the full moon in Aquarius (also referred to as the "sturgeon moon") pits self-focus against what's best for the greater good, especially within your one-on-one connections. But one of the luckiest moments of the year for romance falls on Aug. 11-12 (depending on your time zone) when Venus pairs up with Jupiter in emotionally intelligent Cancer.
Zodiac Signs Who Might Be Affected Most During Leo Season 2024
People who are born during Leo season aren't the only ones who will feel the vibes of Leo season. Because Leo is a fixed sign, it's Taurus (fixed earth), Scorpio (fixed water), and Aquarius (fixed air) who are most likely to experience the greatest shifts and inspiration from Leo season.
Here's what every sign can expect this Leo season. Feel free to read the below based on your zodiac sign and/or rising sign, too.
How Leo Season Will Impact Your Zodiac Sign
Aries (March 20-April 19)
Leo season amplifies the intensity of your artistic impulses and appetite for playfulness, Aries. This is because the sun is in your fifth house of romance, play, and creativity. Consider finding new ways to express your emotions through a creative project while carving out plenty of time to step back from work so that you can really be yourself with the people you love the most. Pouring extra energy into tending to your most heartfelt relationships does wonders for your connections.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
For you, Taurus, Leo season is all about spending even more quality time with your loved ones, thanks to the sun moving through your fourth house of home life. Whether you're going on a vacation with family, pouring more energy into decorating your backyard, or taking late-night strolls with your partner, downtime with your nearest and dearest is especially restorative for your emotional well-being.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Leo season generally takes your already curious, information-seeking nature to new heights, Gemini, thanks to the confident sun making its way through your third house of communication. This year, you'll want to review skills you haven't brushed up in a while or perhaps audit a class you took years ago. Because the sun is in the astrological house associated with short-distance travel, think about taking more staycations and road trips. This year, focusing on destinations that you've already visited might serve you best.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
You may be feeling a little wiped out following your birthday season, which is higher energy and more public than usual, Cancer. With that said, channel the energy you have into financial goals now that the confident sun is moving through your second house of income. Carve out time to reflect on whether your money-making strategies are in sync with your values, and also make sure you're being valued enough for what you bring to the table.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Welcome to your season, Leo. If there's one thing that you love more than soaking up the sun, it's the chance to claim the spotlight, and that's what this time of year is all about. With the sun moving through your first house of self, your mind is focused on how you're presenting yourself out in the world and pursuing passion projects. A tidal wave of self-assured energy can make it easier to make progress on any inner work that might be required in order to build momentum on your aspirations.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Leo season may encourage you to step up your self-care routine, Virgo, because the confident sun is moving through your 12th house of spirituality and dreams. During this time, you may be more self-reflective and in tune with your intuition. For this reason, solo time may really benefit you during this period.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Leo season is pretty heavenly for you, Libra. Because you're such a social butterfly, and the confident sun is moving through your 11th house of networking and friendship, you should find you can easily join forces with old friends and former colleagues. Filling your days with more group events, parties, get-togethers, and teamwork could be productive for you.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Leo season often makes you even more driven than usual, Scorpio, because your 10th house of career is activated. Whether you've been dreaming about a higher-level position or batting around a passion project, you have the ambition to go for it. Just know that there may be some delays and communication glitches along the way. If you can overcome these glitches, the events that unfold over the next four weeks can strengthen your sense of authority and lead to plenty of recognition for all your hard work.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
There's nothing you love more than going on an adventure, Sagittarius, which is why Leo season can fuel plenty of joy for you. The sun is moving through your ninth house of adventure and higher learning now, motivating you to step out of your comfort zone and go somewhere fun. You might also want to soak up more knowledge, so take advantage of opportunities to connect with a trusted mentor, professor, or teacher - ideally someone you've worked with previously - whose lessons will expand your mind.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Leo season presents you with a chance to increase intimacy within your closest relationships, Capricorn. The sun is moving through your eighth house of emotional bonds, intimacy, and joint resources, encouraging you to wear your heart on your sleeve and be more open about your desires, needs, and priorities with your nearest and dearest. Revisiting an old wound or even shared financial goal can lead to growth and healing.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Leo season emphasizes your deepest connections, including those that are romantic, platonic, or professional, Aquarius. Whether you're working toward the finish line on a joint aspiration with your lover or researching a business proposal, you'll want to be sure you're celebrating and centering one another's strengths while acknowledging any challenges you face as a team. This moment was also made for mediating conflicts, especially anything that's been festering for some time.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Thanks to the sun moving through your sixth house of wellness and daily routine, Pisces, you may find some time to cross off things on your to-do list. Tackling old business can have you feeling productive and lighter now. Because this sector also deals with health, tying up loose ends will also elevate your sense of inner peace.
