Leo Season Rituals
Try one of these Leo season rituals to help you open your heart to joy.
1. Visualize yourself as a celebrity
Does your name belong in lights? Or maybe a history book or the Hall of Fame? Visualize it, then position your personal “brand” for that ascent.
Need some inspiration for this Leo season ritual? Do a bit of competitive analysis. What are the ballers in your industry doing? How would YOU put your own unique spin on this? If you have a finished product to promote, put a final coat of high-gloss polish on it, then, schedule your big reveal!
2. Tell your story!
Leo is the zodaic sign of self-expression and creativity, making Leo season prime time to put your signature stamp on your work. While life turns into an extended improv night, here’s a tip for the shy people out there: Use storytelling to engage a crowd.
This technique’s scientifically proven to create connections between people! The reason? As we listen to a story, our brains synchronize to the storyteller’s. If you want to capture hearts, share your experiences and speak directly from yours. (Here’s our story!)
3. Play with a signature look
Like a cosmic coming-out party, the festival of Leo is Carnivale, Drag Race and a Oh Mary! rolled into one. Wardrobe! Styling!
Have fun experimenting with your look. (You don’t watch all those TikToks for nothing!) Even if you keep it low-key, remember, style is a tool for self-expression; you choose the statement you want to make. Check our Style horoscopes to find your zodiac sign’s best lewks!
4. Share the spotlight for your Leo season ritual
Leo is ruled by the proud and regal Sun, the center of our solar system. During Leo season, we may occasionally, um, forget that the world doesn’t revolve around us. Because this sign rules the ego, Leo energy can cause us to upstage others at times, forgetting that each person is a valuable member of a team. Use Leo’s flair for powerful leadership but make sure everyone has a place on the Playbill.
Are you the humble type? Prepare to dodge some chest-beating loudmouths during this solar cycle. Sadly, the most obnoxious people to surface are often well-dressed, charismatic and in positions of power. But what the heck are they saying? Let’s not get so dazzled by the show ponies that we end up running off with their circuses!
5. Temper any diva antics
A potential downside of everyone being expressive is some will get “extra” pretty fast. Brace yourself! There’s a point at which all the fussing is just too much. Remember that the current situation is NOT the end of the world… Or the last opportunity you’ll ever have to… Or your moment to deliver an Oscar-worthy acceptance speech (unless, of course, you’re actually winning an award). Do your part and urge others to keep it simple. In other words, don’t add to unnecessary theatrics.
Here’s a Leo season ritual we can all take on: spend as much time thinking about what comes out of our mouths as we do adorning and primping ourselves for “the stage.” Then maybe, just maybe, our righteous roars can make a difference. Infuse intentions with love and that mighty bellow becomes a rallying cry for everyone to claim the Leo season birthright: passion, fierceness and joy!
6. Remember—life is supposed to be fun, too
If you find yourself stressing over the littlest things (or everything), it’s official: You need a break!
Fortunately, Leo is associated with the zodiac’s fifth house of playfulness and childlike wonder. Plan some playtime: organize a fun pool party (use our Leo season playlist as your backing track!), jump into a craft night, hit a comedy club, break into dance during the team meeting to add some levity.
Forget about society’s rules. Artistically “levitating” Dua Lipa is a Leo, and so is the seemingly ageless Jennifer Lopez and past U.S. president Barack Obama. Leo energy is an endless tank of energy and bag of tricks—and Leo season is a time to do something edgy and fun that disrupts the ordinary.
