Leo Season, Shine, from the inside out

This season isn’t just about being seen. It’s about remembering who you are, reconnecting with your creative fire, and allowing pride, not ego to guide you

There’s a lot of misunderstanding about Leo. It’s not just “look at me” energy, it’s “see me for who I really am” energy. And that’s a big difference.

Leo doesn’t need to be the centre of everything, but it does need to be the centre of something meaningful. Something that allows it to express, to create, to feel alive.

Leo is creative life force. It’s how the heart moves outward.It’s the poem you write. The story you share. The outfit you finally wear without shrinking.

But this Leo Season comes with a twist…We’re in the thick of retrograde energy: Mercury, Pluto, Neptune, Saturn, Chiron—all pulling us inward.

So if you’re feeling the creative fire but also a strange pause? That’s exactly right. This season isn’t about fast action. It’s about honest reflection. The kind that asks:

What still feels true?

Where have I dimmed my light?

What part of me is quietly asking to be reborn?

KEY DATES

July 25 – New Moon in Leo (2:32 AM AEST)

This is a potent lunation and not just because it’s in Leo.The Sun and Moon are in exact opposition to Pluto in Aquarius, which makes this a moment of creative and emotional transformation.

This New Moon may stir discomfort, vulnerability, or power dynamics, but it also offers a portal to personal empowerment.

Ask: Where have I been silencing my true expression? What needs to be seen and reclaimed?

Great for: setting heart-led intentions, redefining your relationship with visibility, and birthing bold creative projects (even if they’re still private).

July 31 – Venus enters Cancer + Chiron turns retrograde in Aries

The energy softens. Venus in Cancer brings emotional nourishment, tenderness, and a desire for deeper connection.Love languages shift from playful to protective. You may crave safe spaces, familiar people, and quiet intimacy.

At the same time, Chiron turns inward, activating old wounds around identity, assertion, and the right to exist as you are.This is a beautiful time to tend to yourself and others.

Ask: Where do I need to be softer with myself?

What am I learning about love and self-worth?

August 7 – Mars enters Libra

Mars, the planet of action, enters the sign of diplomacy and balance.This can bring a shift in how we pursue our goals: less direct, more collaborative.It’s a time for relational awareness. How are your actions affecting others? Are your desires aligned with fairness?

Ask: Am I asserting my needs clearly but with kindness?

Be mindful of passive-aggressive energy or indecision. Mars here teaches us the art of harmonious courage.

August 9 – Full Moon in Aquarius

This Full Moon brings clarity and culmination around what was seeded at the New Moon.Leo rules the individual heart; Aquarius, the collective soul. This lunation asks you to integrate both:

How can your self-expression serve others?

Where do you need community—and where do you need sovereignty?

Perfect for releasing limiting beliefs around “fitting in” and reclaiming your unique brilliance.

August 11 – Mercury turns direct in Leo

Mercury retrograde in Leo may have had you second-guessing your voice, visibility, or creative choices.As it stations direct, things begin to click.Your message becomes clearer. The story you want to tell starts to form. You might feel more confident expressing yourself or moving forward with a vision.

Great time to launch, speak up, or revisit creative projects with fresh eyes.

Ask: What do I want to say now that I’ve had time to reflect?

August 23 – Sun enters Virgo

We leave the fire and head into earth.Leo ignites the creative spark, Virgo begins the process of refinement.What started as inspiration now becomes a practice. What was a heart-led vision becomes something you can shape, hone, and offer.

Ask: What systems, routines, or structures will help me carry the magic forward?

This shift helps ground your energy and prepare for the next season of growth.Your voice returns. Say the thing.

So let me ask you…

Where are you ready to shine again?

What have you outgrown—and what’s asking to emerge now?

What’s the story your heart is longing to express?

URANUS ENTERS GEMINI

When Uranus, the planet of disruption, liberation, and revolutionary insight, enters a new sign, we can feel it before we fully understand it. It might feel like a frequency change to start with, like whisper that travels through our nervous system, a restlessness in the air, a thought that won’t leave us alone. Having said that, Uranus is just taking a test drive in Gemini for now, where it dips its toe into Gemini until Novemeber when it then retrogrades back into Taurus until April 2026 when it shifts and stays in Gemini until 2032

So, on July 7, 2025, Uranus moves into Gemini for the first time since 1941

And this is a big shift for both the collective mind and for us personally, especially those of us who have planets in the mutable signs of Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces. In essence this is a fundamental rewiring of how we think, communicate, connect, learn, and share ideas. Uranus in Gemini will spend seven years reshaping the very fabric of thought and language, ushering in a new era of consciousness that asks one essential question:

Is the way I speak, think, and communicate true to who I am becoming?

Uranus's role is to accelerate awakening, sometimes gently, sometimes through a lightning strike that changes everything in an instant. It governs revolution, innovation, sudden change, and all things non-linear and unexpected. Uranus is the future crashing into the present. Internally it can feel like that genius idea that won’t let you sleep, it is a very buzzy energy that is asking us to awaken to the new, to change and to rebel against what’s been handed down to us without our consent.

Wherever Uranus travels in the zodiac, it brings disruption, It disrupts to liberate. To shake loose what’s become stale, rigid, or fear-based. To activate the next level of evolution.

And now, it turns its gaze toward Gemini.

Gemini is ruled by Mercury, the psychopomp, the translator between worlds. It governs language, perception, data, duality, and the stories we tell ourselves and each other to make sense of the world.

Gemini is not about absolutes, it’s about curiosity and complexity. It teaches us to hold more than one truth at once and to keep our curious minds open, to listen and to question. To speak not just to be heard, but to understand and connect.

When Uranus enters Gemini, we are collectively being asked to reimagine how we think, reclaim the power of our voice, and radically upgrade the quality of our communication, within ourselves, between each other, and across society.

Here’s what we can expect—and where the deeper invitations lie:

This is a time to break free from old scripts and conditioning. We’re being invited (sometimes forced) to speak from a place of deep authenticity, even if it’s uncomfortable. Expect revolutions around freedom of speech, the decentralisation of media, and the dismantling of echo chambers.

On a personal level we can ask ourselves- Where have I been silencing myself to keep others comfortable?

Gemini rules the nervous system, and Uranus can bring both brilliance and overstimulation. We may see a rise in nervous system awareness, somatic intelligence, and technologies that either support or overwhelm our mental and energetic bandwidth.

This transit will certainly invite new models of education and a rapid change in learning, AI-augmented thinking, and a rise in self-directed, cross-disciplinary knowledge. We will no longer be satisfied with rote information, we want synthesis, insight, and applied wisdom.

Words will matter more than ever. How we use them and what energy they carry. Whether we speak to connect or to divide. Uranus in Gemini asks us to remember that language creates reality.

Gemini also rules siblings, peer-to-peer relating, and cognitive diversity. We may see a much greater emphasis on neurodivergent communication, redefining intelligence, and honouring multiplicity in how people relate, think, and connect.

As with all planetary transits, there are shadows we’ll need to navigate. Gemini’s speed can become and feel a little manic and curiosity can spiral into chaos. The hunger for more information can disconnect us from inner knowing. We may be tempted to intellectualise our feelings, or mistake cleverness for wisdom.

And this era may also increasingly challenge our attention span, our capacity for nuance, and our tolerance for complexity in a world that often demands certainty.

Which is why this transit isn’t about mastering more information. It’s about mastering presence in a world full of noise.

So how can we best work with this energy?

Start by bringing conscious awareness towhere our words feel inherited or habitual, and where they feel alive and electric with truth.

We are absolutley being asked to reclaim our most authentic voice and find the ideal way of best expression it. Whether it’s writing, speaking, sharing, or thinking differently, we can use this time to liberate how we express ourself.

It will be important to make an effort to continuioyusly detox ofrom tech and ground ourselves in Nature. Meditation, breathwork, time offline, and practices that soothe the mind will be our balm.

We will need to remember that it’s okay to not have all the answers, Curiosity is a sacred practice. But we shoudl remember to root our questions in values that nourish our soul.

And remember not to confuse stimulation for connection. Go deeper than just being “plugged in.” Being present and being human will be more important that ever.

Uranus in Gemini asks us to unhook from the narratives that no longer serve, to expand into new dimensions of thought, and to speak a language that’s truer, freer, and more soul-aligned.

It’s the beginning of a new era but it can feel destabilising for sure. To discover how Uranus and the other outer planets are going to really influence you on a personal level, check in with me to see what your chart can reveal, what is needing authenticity and change right now.

Scorpio Full Moon- The Deep Excavation

There are full moons… and then there are Scorpio full moons.

This Full Moon isn’t just our usual moment to release what no longer serves us, it’s a full-bodied, soul-deep invitation to transform. Not in a soft, gradual way. But in a raw, powerful, sometimes uncomfortable, yet ultimately liberating way.

Because Scorpio doesn’t do surface-level. It wants your truth. It wants what’s buried. It wants what you’ve been avoiding. And under this lunation, the energy is aligned for that truth to rise, so it can finally be let go.

We’re in the deep waters of Scorpio, a sign ruled by both Mars (will, action, desire) and Pluto (transformation, death, and rebirth). And right now, those two planets are locked in a potent opposition—Mars in Leo, Pluto in Aquarius—creating a tug of war between the ego and the collective, the personal will and the evolutionary impulse.

Add to this the Sun in Taurus sitting right next to Uranus, and you’ve got a cosmic cocktail of release, embodiment, disruption, and awakening. It’s as if something is being shaken loose and the nervous system can feel it.

This full moon activates the Taurus–Scorpio axis, which governs our relationship with what we possess, both materially and emotionally, and what we must release in order to truly own our power.

Scorpio energy is like the Phoenix, death and rebirth are its language. And that “death” might be a belief, a pattern, a role you’ve outgrown, or a secret you’ve been carrying that’s quietly shaping your life from the shadows.

This is the moment to ask:

• What am I holding on to that’s outlived its purpose?

• What emotional truths have I buried?

• Where am I still operating from fear or control rather than trust and truth?

Pluto always demands honesty. And Scorpio full moons illuminate the psychic basement. The parts we don’t show. The emotions we’ve numbed. The versions of ourselves we keep hidden. But under this moon, they can’t stay hidden. Not if we want to move forward.

With the Sun and Uranus together in Taurus opposite the Moon in Scorpio, this is not just a psychological experience, it’s an embodied one.

Taurus is the body. Scorpio is the emotional underworld. Uranus brings the disruption that shakes us out of patterns and jolts us into awareness.

You may feel:

• Wired or anxious

• Deep fatigue followed by sudden insight

• Physical tension, gut feelings, emotional release through the body

It’s crucial to stay grounded right now. Take care of your nervous system. Rest. Move. Eat grounding foods. Listen to your body—it’s trying to help you process what your mind can’t yet articulate.

Scorpio rules intimacy, vulnerability, and the shared emotional undercurrents between people. So yes—this full moon can bring things to the surface in your relationships.

But this isn’t about creating drama. It’s about revealing what’s real.

• What hasn’t been said?

• Where are you compromising your truth to maintain peace?

• Are you building trust… or avoiding honesty?

This is a time to lean into emotional courage, not with blame or projection, but with deep self-awareness. The relationships that are meant to transform with you will. The ones that fall away may be clearing space for more aligned connection.

If you’re a writer, creator, or soul-led business owner, this Scorpio Full Moon is a creative purge.

It’s an incredible time to:

• Revisit a draft or story that feels emotionally potent

• Speak about something that once scared you

• Write from a place of truth, not performance

• Promote your work in a bolder, more aligned way

Uranus in the mix can bring unexpected inspiration or the courage to finally share something you’ve been sitting on. Use the intensity as creative fuel, but make sure your message is soul-deep.

Here are some practical ways to align with the Scorpio Full Moon:

Emotional honesty: Journal or reflect on what feels heavy, stuck, or hidden. Get curious, not judgmental.

Body scan: Where are you holding tension? What does your nervous system need?

Burn ritual: Write down what you’re ready to release. Burn it (safely) and visualize that energy leaving your field.

Creative channel: If you’re feeling emotionally stirred—create from it. Paint, write, speak, move. Let the energy express itself.

Astrology reading: If you’re unsure where this lands in your chart, book a personal session. The house this moon activates will reveal what area of life is ready for deep transformation.

This is a full moon that cracks things open, not to destroy, but to liberate. To set you free from what’s been silently weighing you down. Scorpio doesn’t break you, it helps you shed the skin you’ve outgrown.

Book a personal astrology reading with me to dive deeper into where you're being asked to release, evolve, and come back to your true power.
