Let this be a season of radiant reflection. Reconnect. Reimagine. Rewrite your own legend.

How Leo Season will affect you?

Fire Signs (Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius) 

More often than not, you assert your fiery nature into situations and relationships, especially matters you genuinely believe in. And, being one of the most dramatic signs of the zodiac, you take it to the next level. Take a step back and choose a route to make your point. Lead with love.

Earth Signs (Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn): 

It’s okay to take a break from the mundane activities of life once in a while. The only thing is that you have to separate yourself from worrying about errands and tasks, which you may be unable to do. Focus on the bigger picture; don’t obsess over the details.

Air Signs (Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius):

You’re focusing on personal growth and giving all your energy to transforming your world. Don’t let anything stand in the way of attaining success. There will be hiccups along the way, but you’ll be able to grow at lightning speed. Move forward towards achieving your desires.

Water Signs (Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces):

No matter how hard you try to escape it, work is at the forefront of your mind. This means you’ll be asserting all your energy to attain your professional goals. Second place at the office won’t cut it, as you want to win your boss’s admiration.
