Leo Season 2026: Stepping Onto Pride Rock

If you want to go deep into your own chart and how this season lands for you personally, my books are open at hearthandspiral.com. And I also want to invite you to join the waitlist for ELAmap, the new astrocartography app my partner and I have been building- it's going live next week on the Aquarius full moon!

This Leo season episode traces the sign all the way back to Babylon and Egypt, through the Thema Mundi, the ancient world chart with the sun in its own home in Leo, and into the Human Design gates of the season and the transits of an eclipse-charged summer.

We cover the nodes shifting into Leo and Aquarius, a Full Moon in Aquarius standing cazimi opposite a Jupiter-Sun conjunction, Mars easing into Cancer, and the total solar eclipse in Leo on August 12, the first of a new two-year series and the season's real centerpiece.

The season's invitation is to step fully into the light, and to figure out which parts of that radiance are true and which were only ever built for applause. Come out of the den before Virgo season asks you to get to work.
