☀️ Leo Season: Enter the Throne Room
July 22 – August 22, 2025
Ruled by the Sun | Aligned with: Chango, Erzulie Dantor, Solar Fire, Ancestral Courage
When the Sun enters Leo, we step into the fire of visibility, courage, and unapologetic self-expression. This is the time of year when Spirit says: “Be bold. Be radiant. Be you.”
Leo season brings a surge of confidence, creativity, and a desire to be seen for who you truly are. The spotlight is spiritual—inviting you to express your gifts, speak from the heart, and step into leadership without fear. Whether that’s on a stage, in your business, within your relationships, or in your healing journey, this is your time to shine.
But don’t mistake Leo’s fire for ego alone. It’s about soul-led sovereignty—and no one understands that better than the spirits walking with us this season.
🔥 The Spirits of Leo Season
Chango – The Crowned Flame
Leo season belongs to Shango—the Orisha of thunder, fire, leadership, and truth. He embodies the highest aspects of Leo: confident but not cocky, powerful but principled, magnetic yet deeply rooted in justice.
Chango teaches us that true power isn't given—it's claimed.
And in Leo season, we’re all being asked to claim our crowns.
His energy fuels:
- Bold action and courageous decisions
- A deeper connection to divine masculinity and passion
- The sacred dance between visibility and responsibility
Let this be a time when you don’t just talk about what you want—you move like you already carry it in your bones.
Erzulie Dantor – The Fierce Protectress
While Chango brings the external fire, Dantor offers inner strength and heart-centered rage. She guards the broken, the betrayed, and the brave—those who’ve been told they are “too much” for being passionate or “too angry” for demanding truth.
Her energy helps us:
- Reclaim self-worth
- Speak truth where silence once lived
- Protect our hearts without hardening them
✨ Astrological Highlights & Spiritual Alignments
🌑 New Moon in Leo – July 24
A potent moment for setting bold, heart-led intentions.
Start creative projects, claim a new identity, or write a vision for your future that makes your spirit sing.
Ritual idea: Dress in red and gold, light a candle for Chango, and speak your dreams aloud as if they’ve already manifested.
💖 Venus enters Cancer – July 30
The love planet moves into the waters of memory, stirring feelings of nostalgia, sweetness, and longing. Relationships may feel more emotional, more tender. This is Oshun and Yemaya energy in motion: beauty, sensuality, and the sacred bonds of kinship.
You may notice:
- A desire to nest, nurture, and revisit old romances
- Emotional vulnerability and deeper conversations
- Longing for home, safety, or maternal healing
Let Oshun and Yemaya guide your heart through the waves.
⚔️ Mars enters Libra – August 6
Mars (the warrior) enters diplomatic Libra—home of balance, but also avoidance. Ogun and Obba walk here, urging us to confront hidden conflicts and passive-aggressive behaviors.
Potential energies:
- Tension between peacekeeping and truth-telling
- Delayed decisions or fear of confrontation
- Needing to fight for fairness, but without losing yourself
Work with Ogun for clear action and Obba for emotional resilience in relationships.
🧠 Mercury Direct – August 11
Finally, communication clears! This shift brings breakthroughs in self-expression, tech hiccups, and emotional misunderstandings.
The fog lifts, especially around the things we couldn’t say before.
Now is the time to:
- Speak your truth with clarity
- Have long-overdue conversations
- Put your plans into motion

🗣️ Channeling Leo Season: Reflection Questions

- What does leadership look like in my life right now?
- Who do I become when I lead from love, not ego?
🔥 Final Word from Spirit
Leo season says: You were born radiant. Stop shrinking.
Whether your voice shakes or your heart roars, let it be known: you are divine, you are chosen, and your fire is holy.
This is not about arrogance.
This is about truth.
And truth has always been loud when spoken by the soul.
Claim your light.
Call your ancestors.
Crown yourself.
In truth, in fire, and in service to Spirit,
