It's time to step into the spotlight: Leo Season is here, and the cosmos are serving up main character energy with a dash of extra drama and a whole lot of heart. This year, from July 22 to August 22, 2025, the Sun moves through radiant Leo, turning up the volume on self-expression, romance, and bold new beginnings for every sign. Leo is a sign ruled by the Sun. Think: warmth, confidence, and unapologetic authenticity. This is the sign of performers, artists, leaders, and those who love a little glam and glitz. But 2024's Leo season brings more than just dazzle: it's packed with rare cosmic moments that make it feel like a summer to remember.

Your Horoscope for the Week of July 27
After last week's drama, we can use a dose of TLC, so think of the upcoming days as your cosmic first aid kit—it's time to mend and heal those battle wounds. Venus dives into Cancer on July 30, making us more sentimental and empathetic to others. On July 31, the Sun connects with Mercury Retrograde in Leo, strengthening our communication and decisions. This is the best day of Mercury's moonwalk to make plans and to have conversations. Venus squares Saturn Retrograde and Neptune Retrograde in Aries on August 1, pushing us to be limiting and unconditional with our emotions. These two energies juxtapose each other, so we might be up and down and all around in the way we express ourselves or feel. Keep on reading for how the astrological events of this week will impact your Sun, Moon, and Rising signs. You are the type of ram that likes to make things happen on the fly. However, the days ahead might be unmotivating to your tenacious spirit, urging you to be uninspired. Even the most rambunctious of us all require time to recalibrate, and this is your week to do so. Do not get too caught up in a daydream or your emotions that you get whisked away in the vision. Remember to place one foot on solid ground to ensure you can keep up with your responsibilities, even if they seem trivial and burdensome at this particular juncture in time. When was your last vacay? You are in desperate need of a break from work and life, so plan a local trip to escape the mundane. Use this time to unwind and relieve tensions. You should do you and spend your days away from your inbox to relish the moment. Even though you may not be successful when you shoot your shot at asking for a raise, it'll get the ball rolling for the future. Consider this your chance to let management know how fabulous you are and why you deserve a pay increase. They might even meet you halfway. You bring the good vibes to the party, which is why you're the first invite sent out. Mercury is moonwalking on your Sun, so you might want to leave the festivities early after posting a few selfies to decompress. Put your needs above anything, even if you have FOMO. Quit hiding behind your fear of being unliked. Let people know that their actions are upsetting to you. The more direct and confrontational you are, the easier your problems will be to remedy and cultivate deeper relationships. Now, you can be assertive and stand up without worrying about the outcome. You are in a love bubble with your boo that no one can seemingly interrupt. The world begins and ends with them, so your focus is on making your partner happy. As long as you get what you're giving before you cry out for fairness, the ship will remain intact. You might be in a little bit of a daze when organizing and taking care of chores, but that doesn't mean you won't have fun while doing so. A deep cleaning to switch up the stagnant energy in your house will add pep and power to your step this week. Who says you can't have your cake and eat it too? As long as you are real with the desired results from impractical creative ventures, you can take on other things that will brighten your artistry and work. Understand your limits and remain in the know about the honest feedback. It seems as though everyone has an opinion about your life and isn't telling you to your face. If people want to be shady and talk behind your back, then that is on them. A true friend stabs you in the front with honesty. They don't act in unkind ways. You're not the reason why the rumors started, but you aren't helping them die down. Before repeating the tea, think about how it'll affect your friend. You wouldn't want to be in their situation, so have compassion and squash the gossip in its tracks to ensure your bestie isn't hurt. Be aware of your spending habits this week. Money comes and goes, and you will feel the stress and burn of not having enough to hang with your pals. A budgeted life is doable if you curb your shopping, thirst for top-shelf liquor, and Uber Eats.
