Leo Energy: Astrology for Career & Life Clarity

 

Learning about your personal astrology (through your birth chart) can be key to understanding your unique gifts, challenges and what life and work paths will ultimately bring you the most joy.

In addition, attuning to the energy of the astrological seasons provide both a spiritually-aligned focus for the month and invites more intuition, ease and flow into our day-to-day activities.

In this blog series I share more about the strengths and shadows of each zodiac sign, plus some activities to help you utilize the sign’s energy.

LEO

JULY 23 – AUGUST 23

Symbol: The Lion / Element: Fire / Mode: Fixed


We learn to go in, so then we can go out. 

Cancer had us go deep within ourselves, to look at our feelings and learned patterns and coping techniques. Leo asks us to take all of that and do something with it in the world. 

How do we do that? How do we take what’s inside and put it out there, especially if it’s not our natural tendency?

We must learn how to stoke, and tend, our internal fire. And then use that energy we’ve created (or tamed) to express our thoughts, feelings and visions out in the world.

Strategies of Leo:

  • Positivity, playfulness and spontaneity

  • Healthy self expression and development of ego

  • Creativity, especially in the form of dancing, singing, storytelling and drama

  • Can make life feel like a party 

  • Confidence, charisma and natural leadership skills

  • Finding happiness in the present moment 

  • An open heart

Shadows of Leo:

  • Happiness dependent on the response of their audience (applause, praise, fame)

  • Overly confident, over developed ego, narcissism 

  • Too proud to ask for help or show vulnerability

  • Failure to acknowledge the shadow

  • Acting instead of being themselves 

  • Overly dramatic

How to utilize the Leo energy:

  • Say YES to life! Do something spontaneous or just for the fun of it

  • Practice finding happiness in and gratitude for the present moment

  • Use breathwork to stoke (or tame) your internal flame

  • Connect to your creativity, especially through dance, song, theater or drama

  • Play!

  • Do something you’re passionate about

  • Tap into your sense of confidence. What makes you awesome? What are others always telling you you’re great at? What do you feel are your personal strengths? Give yourself some space this month to build that healthy ego
