Sun in Leo (August 16–September 16)
The Sun returns to its home sign of Leo, encouraging confidence, creativity, leadership, and authentic self-expression. Even with eclipse energy creating temporary uncertainty, this transit reminds us to reconnect with our purpose while balancing everyday responsibilities. Around August 22–23, breakthroughs may come through forgiveness, humility, or standing up for yourself.
Mercury in Leo (August 22–September 6)
Mercury continues the forward momentum by entering Leo on the 22nd of August, encouraging bold ideas, confident communication, and creative thinking. Keeping notes and paying attention to meaningful conversations can reveal valuable insights, especially around the eclipse period.
