3 Zodiac Signs Experiencing A Major Confidence Boost This Leo Season

Leo season has arrived, and it’s time to embrace the fire sign’s confidence!

Leo season begins on July 22nd and continues through August 22nd, and while Leo is a sign known for its confidence, the way it plays out may show up differently than we expect. The season starts with the Sun joining Mercury and Venus in Leo on August 22nd, lighting up areas of life that let us speak and connect with others with radiant confidence. We benefit from this powerhouse trio for a few days until July 25th, when Mercury moves into Virgo and gives us a more dedicated approach to our conversations. On August 4th, Venus will move out of fiery Leo into more practical Virgo, which has us evaluating love and beauty through a more intentional lens. On the same day, we also have the new moon in Leo, giving us a chance to start fresh and figure out what we want out of life with a distinct focus on perfecting what we have already been generously given. On August 5th, Mercury goes retrograde in Virgo and will continue its backspin into Leo on August 14th. While retrogrades sound intimidating, it’s a beneficial period that asks us to slow down and reflect on what is happening in our lives, which can help us define and work on areas of ourselves that need tending to.

While all the zodiac signs will experience the effects of these transits, a few zodiac signs will feel its effects more directly, notably in the areas relating to self-confidence. Check your signs below (Sun and Rising!) to see which zodiac signs will experience a huge confidence boost this Leo season.

Leo

Welcome to your season, Leo! It’s your time to shine over these next few weeks, though how you gain more confidence may look different than expected. The Sun (your ruling planet) joins Mercury and Venus in your 1st House of Self and Identity, pushing you to embrace yourself and all you have to offer—don’t be surprised if people are drawn in by you more than usual, especially with Venus, the planet of love and beauty, in the mix. If you’re feeling yourself, don’t fight it! Once August kicks in, Venus will move into your 2nd House of Income and Values, bringing more opportunities for you financially and helping you feel more secure. The New Moon in your 1st House arrives the same day as Venus moves into Virgo and your 2nd House, focusing your attention on how you can better perfect your life rather than scrapping it to start a new one. The Mercury retrograde, which stars in Virgo and moves back into your sign on August 14th, asks you to slow down and redefine your values and perception of yourself and what it depends on. While these moments may not always be the easiest and require dedicated intention, you’ll feel more confident in who you are when Virgo season rolls around.

Aries

Sparks are flying for you this Leo season, Aries! The next few weeks are pushing you to enjoy life to the fullest and use it to improve your daily life. The Sun joins Venus and Mercury in your 5th House of Creativity and Pleasure (which happens to be the house where the Sun rejoices), which is inspiring you in all the right ways. Whether you’re feeling more creative or putting yourself out there romantically, plenty of discovery comes with being bold enough to pursue what excites you. As we move into August, Venus will move into Virgo and your 6th House of Routines, Habits, and Wellness, focusing on taking care of your physical health and pushing to achieve short-term goals that improve your sense of self. The new moon in Leo occurs on the same day, forcing you to re-evaluate what self-love and self-care look like these days. Mercury moves into your 6th House and starts its retrograde journey on August 5th, eventually returning to Leo on August 14th. This period will ask you to slow down your impulsive nature and examine what makes you happy and what it adds to your life. While the season is sure to have ups and downs, you’ll have a clearer understanding of what makes you feel alive and how you can lean into it rather than stumbling into those moments mindlessly. 

Scorpio

Buckle up, Scorpio, because you’re getting your moment this season! You have been waiting to show the world what you’re made of, but making that happen may take some unexpected turns. To start the season off, the Sun joins Mercury and Venus in your 10th House of Career and Public Image, shining a light on who you are in a major way. This could signify acknowledgment or even financial blessings as you show your value and feel more confident in the steps you’re taking. The end of July could work well to speak your mind and offer new ideas that turn heads—people can’t know who you are if you don’t get their attention. Once August begins, Venus moves into Virgo and your 11th House of Friendships and Networking, pushing you to connect with others rather than handle everything alone. You may be an independent person, but everyone needs connections and support occasionally, especially as you are trying to move up in the career world. The same day, the new moon in Leo occurs, allowing you to set intentions on what you want and where you want to go while also honoring the work you’ve already started. Once Mercury goes retrograde in Virgo, don’t let your ego get the best of you, and try to hog the spotlight for yourself—especially at the risk of burning bridges with those willing to help you. Use this retrograde to reflect on the true path you want to go on, as well as what is working (and what isn’t) about the ways you handle career opportunities when they occur. By the end of Leo season, you’ll have a renewed understanding of what you need to get where you want to go.
