Astrology, Herbal Rituals & Solar-Heart Remedies for the Fire Sign Within
Leo season is here, and it’s time to ignite your spirit with courage, radiance, and heartfelt expression. As the Sun moves through Leo (a fixed fire sign ruled by the Sun itself), this mid-summer portal invites you to embrace your creative power, speak your truth, and reconnect to joy.
Leo governs the heart chakra, the spine, and the upper back — areas connected to pride, posture, love, and strength. This astrological season is ideal for focusing on self-confidence, emotional balance, and soul-aligned leadership.
Why Leo Energy Matters
The sign of Leo is associated with the element of fire and the Sun, which governs vitality, creative expression, and leadership. During this time, we’re cosmically supported in stepping into the spotlight, affirming our identity, and making bold choices that stem from the heart.
“Leo is the ruler of the heart, and when we align with this energy, we allow our passion and love to fuel everything we create.”
— The Inner Sky by Steven Forrest
Traditional and energetic medicine both associate Leo’s season with the heart organ, and in Chinese Medicine, it aligns with the Fire Element of Summer — a time of high energy, movement, and outward expression. (NIH, 2018)
