Leo Slow Scopes

As the summer Sun reaches it’s fullest potential, the wattage creates a spotlight for Leo to take center stage. The fixed Sun-ruled sign offers the vitality and bravery we need to step into main character energy—becoming the most authentic versions of ourselves.

As the Sun illuminates and benefits all of the planets in our solar system, so too does Leo's strength and charisma benefit those around them. Through Leo's example, we are empowered to step into our true selves (unapologetically), seek the power and transformation hiding within self-love, and lead with confidence and generosity.

These horoscopes aim to inspire you to embrace each season with curiosity and adaptability. They are written for your rising sign, but feel free to read for both your rising and Sun signs. You'll know which one resonates with you the most. As always, take what works for you and disregard the rest.

Aries & Aries Rising

Prioritize your pleasure pursuits, creative desires, and playfulness this season. Make summer fun the most important thing on your task list. From the absolutely silly karaoke party to a landscape class, Leo is asking you to share some of your fire for something that fuels you in return.

Taurus & Taurus Rising

Your home, inner circle, and chosen family are in the spotlight with you this season. Celebrate the people and places that support, nurture, and love you by giving a little back. Host a bonfire, prep your garden for the harvest, or explore some ancestral traditions. Sharing the bounty of your field will make the summer even sweeter.

Gemini & Gemini Rising

Social butterflies are also incredible pollinators, Gemini. The Sun is encouraging you to see the big picture of your intellectual gatherings and daily communications. Being generous at every harvest point by promoting a loved one’s business, celebrating an important social trend, or positively lifting up your community is a great choice of skill sharing. Let your curiosity also help others in connections and opportunities and watch your kindreds bloom.

Cancer & Cancer Rising

The Sun is asking you how you feel abundant, rich, and resourced. While you’re generous and helpful with your finances, you can be reserved and cautious when creating luxury for yourself. You don’t have to spend money to feel rich, but Leo is asking you how you want to be treated as the royalty you are. Filling your cup is sometimes the best possible form of community care.

Leo & Leo Rising

Take advantage of your time in the sun, Leo. Use this time to feel connected to your biggest pursuits and put in some deep work (and maybe some blinders) on whatever is bringing you back to life. While you’re on a glow-up, pay special attention to the trickle-down of generosity and door-opening you can provide for others in your golden path.

Virgo & Virgo Rising

Check yourself into the Hermit Hotel and hang the “do not disturb” sign. After weeks of tinkering with your vocation and community passions, this season provides the quality time for you to enjoy some privacy, focus, and behind-the-scenes work. Plans and projects will always need organizing, but this is your chance to get the inner-office space clean and clear. Try a new meditation, brush up on cat naps, and savor the inkiness of warm evenings. These reflective practices will help revive you before you check out of your solitary stay.

Libra & Libra Rising

Shine your light on the fringes of your community. The Sun is powering up the parts of your generosity, playfulness, and inclusion. Host some events, join workshops, participate in masterminds, or donate some time to the community garden. This season will be more fulfilling if you help those around you feel "seen" as brightly as you are.

Scorpio & Scorpio Rising

Leo is showing you how transparent the divide between your work and your creative pursuits is during this time. You’re never afraid of the hustle, but the Sun is asking you to see the bigger picture and zoom out a little more than usual. Let yourself focus on the tinkering of your larger pursuits, and watch as the pieces fall into place. Remember to hydrate during the long, bright days. Your success counts on a healthy, established, and supported you.

Sagittarius & Sagittarius Rising

There is little to quench your thirst for knowledge, exploration, and long-range plans—especially during this time. But, if insecurities and comparisons pounce, remember that in devouring inspiration, the experience is uniquely yours and so are the projects you’re creating. Use your rose-colored glasses and execute everything with your unique voice. You’ll be surprised how much people want to follow your newly carved path.

Capricorn & Capricorn Rising

The Sun is asking you to collaborate and connect. If there has been some friction or stalling in your projects and pursuits, and it feels like your horns are up against something immovable, now is the time to get another pair of eyes involved. Put out some feelers for a co-conspirator. You might be surprised who wants to team up with you but has been a little too shy or intimidated to ask.

Aquarius & Aquarius Rising

The best people are the ones who bring out your inner shine and see you for the magic you are. Leo is helping you see all these connections, partnerships, and loves in the pride. Use summer magic as an excuse to celebrate your people, feast with them, and share in the warmth of companionship in all forms. In this window, the right people will solar-charge your daily life.

Pisces & Pisces Rising

Your work-life needs your daydreams and playful side. If you’ve kept your dream interpretations to yourself, and desktop knick-knacks stashed away—the conformity will be uncomfortable during this time. Sometimes the containers we make for protection end up caging us in. Let your scales be seen in and out of the pond.
