When I grow up, I hope to be as bold as my daughter, a Leo Moon. There is a fierce softness and vulnerability that guides her through the world that can only come from authenticity. Nothing about her apologizes for the bigness of her presence. Already, she demands the most from her life (and her parents, lol) in a way that I’ve only just stepped into at the big age of 38.
If I grow old, I pray to be as self-assured as my son, a Leo Venus. He is grounded in himself in a way that cannot be shaken by others. He is clear on what’s worth it to him and knows what he values. There is a quiet confidence and an ease with boundaries that comes from knowing himself well and being at peace with what he knows.
It’s no surprise this message made me think of my children. Leo is associated with the Fifth House, the part of the chart that rules kids, self-expression, creativity, and play. I just lucked out with them both having significant Leo placements lol.
The Leo message focuses on the pace of self-(re)discovery and the actions we can take to make more room for authenticity. Children, when given the space, are experts on pacing. They are guided by curiosity, wonder, and the reward of self-discovery. They are taught to be ruled by time, norms, and expectations and with that, learn to lose themselves. I’m not here to argue that structure and responsibility are not necessary, but I do wonder who we would be if we maintained a bit more of a child-like approach.
I don’t have the answers, but Leo SZN encourages us to find out.
Key Takeaways:
Releasing “Should”: It’s time to swap out inherited rules for self authority and welcome forth your boldest self. Notice every choice that begins with “I should” or “people expect me to.” Instead ask “Does this feel true for who I am becoming right now?” By questioning whether a choice aligns with our true self, we empower ourselves to make decisions that reflect our authentic desires and aspirations.
Slow & Steady: Urgency gives a false sense of control while dulling our discernment. Shift the focus from chasing the finish line to being present in the process. There is more to be gained with steady growth. By focusing on the journey rather than the destination, we cultivate mindfulness, clarity and gratitude. Allow each small, deliberate choice to compound into lasting change.
Gifts From the Past: Our sense of what’s possible expands when we remind ourselves that boldness is built on steps already laid down. Our connection to the past enriches our understanding of what is possible and supports us in forging our unique path forward. Seek support, guidance, and inspiration from elders, mentors, or ancestors who align with your future vision.
As we move through this Leo season ask yourself:
If my boldest self were making this decision, what would they choose?
Who wrote this rule, and do I still choose it?
What small, deliberate choices can I make today that will contribute to lasting change?
What celebration rituals can I adopt and consistently practice to keep myself grounded in the journey?
Who are the mentors, elders, or ancestors that inspire me, and what lessons can I learn from their journeys?
