Poured in Liquid Gold: Celebrating the Sun in Leo.

As the Sun slips into Leo, his own kingdom, on July 22nd 2025 and journeys through the heart of the zodiac until August  22nd. We enter a season touched by warmth and regal light.

Leo embodies the archetype of the lion, bold, generous, and radiant.

During this time we’re invited to notice what calls us into creative expression and heartfelt sharing. This year is extra rich with themes of reflection and transformation, as Mercury is retrograde in Leo.

Majestic and radiant, the King finds his throne. In blazing light, the Sun claims his home.

Key moments to hold with care this season:

• July 23rd - Venus in Gemini squares. Mars in Virgo. Venus also squares the Nodes of Fate.

• July 24th - New Moon in Leo opposing Pluto in Aquarius.

• July 25th - Sun in Leo opposing Pluto in Aquarius.

• July 31st - Mercury Cazimi in Leo.

Gentle reminders:

• Mercury retrograde in Leo is an invitation to revisit creative projects, clarify boundaries, and reflect on how we express ourselves. Mercury retrograde asks us to slow down, reconsider, and realign our communications and intentions.

• Themes of leadership come through beautifully in Leo season. This is not about dominating but about owning our light and encouraging others to do the same.

You’re invited to notice what is calling you into creative play, into grand gestures of kindness, into speaking your truth from a place of courage. The lion’s archetype reminds us that true power is softened by compassion.

Liquid gold moves through us now. If you feel moved to anchor your week with an intention, a short ritual, a bold affirmation, trust that the cosmos supports your choice to shine.

Much love to all, Valentina.
