Hello everyone,
The fifth astrological season of the year is now upon us (already!)— and it’s a bold one! Leo season gets underway tomorrow (1430 UK time), bringing radiant energy, confidence, self expression and the fiery warmth of the Sun. This is a time for shining, playing, and showing your personal power. It is also a time to check in on our egos and vanity. Leo season may also bring a shift in how we might feel emotionally and physically.

Qualities of the Signs
In classical medical astrology, the zodiac signs and their elements are assigned combinations of four foundational qualities:
• Hot: Activates, speeds up, and is linked to high energy or inflammation
• Cold: Contracts, sedates, slows—linked to fatigue or stagnation
• Dry: Solid, separate, brittle—linked to tension or lack of fluid
• Wet: Fluidic, soft, nourishing—linked to moisture, flexibility, and coherence
Each element is a pairing of two of these qualities:
• Fire (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius): Hot and Dry
• Earth (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn): Cold and Dry
• Air (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius): Hot and Wet
• Water (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces): Cold and Wet
Leo Season: Hot and Dry 
Leo is a Fire sign, giving it hot and dry qualities. These are outward-facing and energising traits that are associated with warmth, action, leadership and visibility. After Cancer season’s emotional inwardness, Leo encourages us to step out, be seen and take up space. It’s a great time for creative expression, fun, and boosting our confidence. However, be mindful: too much heat and dryness can lead to dehydration, inflammation, burnout, or overexertion, especially in relation to the heart, circulation and the spine.
Leo rules the heart, spine, and upper back, so this season may highlight cardiovascular health, posture, and nervous tension carried in the back.
Seasonal Effects on Your Sign
FIRE Signs (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius)
Aries – Head, brain, face 
Leo’s solar energy complements your own fiery nature, giving you a surge of creative and social power. However, with all this heat, be careful of headaches or eye strain. Take breaks, hydrate and cool down when needed.
Leo – Heart, spine, upper back 
This is your season! You’ll likely feel energised and magnetic — but don’t burn too bright for too long. Heart palpitations, back tension, or emotional overexcitement are signs that you need to slow down. Gentle movement and calming music can help.
Sagittarius – Hips, thighs, liver 
Leo’s boldness boosts your natural optimism, making this a great time for fun and adventure. But your liver may feel the effects of excess — whether that’s too much heat, rich food, alcohol or late nights. Balance celebration with moderation.
EARTH Signs (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn)
Taurus – Neck, throat, thyroid, voice 
Leo’s outgoing nature may encourage you to speak out more or take centre stage. This is great — just protect your voice and avoid over-straining it. Sip cooling teas and stretch your neck to release tension.
Virgo – Digestive system, intestines 
This fiery season may disrupt your earthy routine. Stress or overstimulation could show up as digestive imbalance or irritability. Try soothing meals, belly breathing, and regular quiet time.
Capricorn – Bones, knees, joints, teeth 
Leo may inspire you to loosen up and have some fun, which is great for your soul. However, all that fiery energy might throw off your sense of structure and routine. Stretch your joints gently, hydrate, and let play be part of your self-care. It doesnt have to all be about work!
AIR Signs (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius)
Gemini – Lungs, shoulders, arms, hands gemini 
Leo boosts your charisma and communication, but the added heat can dry you out or strain your nerves. You might feel scattered or wired. Do short bursts of activity, followed by full-body relaxation.
Libra – Kidneys, lower back, skin 
This season lights up your love of beauty and sociability, but too much fire can lead to skin flare-ups or dehydration. Be mindful of sugar and caffeine, and support your lower back with rest and cool compresses.
Aquarius – Ankles, circulation, nervous system 
Leo opposes your sign on the zodiac wheel — so you may feel pushed to open up emotionally or perform socially. This could bring sleep issues, poor circulation, or anxiety. Cool baths, journaling, and honest conversations may help.
WATER Signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces)
Cancer – Chest, breasts, stomach 
After your tender season, Leo may feel like a big leap into the spotlight. You might feel emotionally overstimulated or drained. Practice gentle movement, soothing meals, and let yourself be seen — on your terms.
Scorpio – Reproductive organs, elimination system 
Leo’s heat can stir your passion and confidence — but it might also bring hormonal shifts, frustration, or digestive imbalance. Creative self-expression eg through art, craft or writing, along with regular rest, can help ground your energy.
Pisces – Feet, lymphatic system, fluid balance 
This high-energy time can leave you feeling out of rhythm or physically parched, especially if you find yourself on your feet more than usual. Take naps, drink herbal infusions, and enjoy joyful, low-pressure activities like music, dance, or light crafting. Foot spas may help!
Leo Season Suggestions
Because Leo is hot and dry, it brings passion, play, and performance, but it can also leave us overheated, emotionally charged, or energetically scattered. Here are some ways to care for yourself this season:
Support your heart and spine with posture-enhancing stretches, gentle chest-openers, and back-strengthening yoga poses.
Cool and hydrate to balance fire with water. Drink plenty, eat cooling foods (like cucumber, melon, and mint), and take refreshing baths.
Rest and recharge because you don’t have to shine 24/7. Allow yourself quiet moments without performance or pressure.
Creative expression through Channeling your energy into something joyful, such as paint, sing, dance, design, or simply dress up with flair.
Boundaries with ego. Be confident, not controlling. Share the spotlight and celebrate others too.
Leo Season encourages us to celebrate who we are, to open our hearts, and to live life boldly. It’s a time to dance, to play, to rest, and to remember your inner light.
