A Tarot Reader Predicts What Each Zodiac Can Expect During 2024’s Leo Season
ARIES
Your Card: Queen of Cups
Slow down, tune into your body, go inward, and listen to your intuition. Get in touch with your emotions before making any big decisions or major changes. The Queen of Cups is a sign that at the present moment you need to prioritize self-care and introspection. You can be there for others without taking on more than you can bear. Recharge and take care of yourself first—remember that you can’t pour from an empty cup. During this Leo season, work on a deeper sense of empathy for yourself, indulge in a little daydreaming, and get centered. Focus on feeling happy and allowing yourself to show up authentically. This is especially important with the sun blazing through your fifth house of pleasure, self-expression, and romance. Partake in anything that brings you joy. Be careful who and what gets access to your energy. Spend time being creative. Reach out to those you love the most. Let your heart remain open.
TAURUS
Your Card: Queen of Pentacles, reversed
The reversal of the Queen of Pentacles is a warning to brace for potential fear and anxiety. Thoughts of the future will have you experiencing feelings of destabilization during Leo season. It’s going to be imperative that you make an effort to ground yourself in the present. This means being thankful for the current abundance in your life and focusing on what you can do in the here and now. With the sun shining in your fourth house of home, you should look to your personal life to feel at ease and fulfilled—your closest relationships, your goals, your sacred space. Make your environment warm and peaceful. Spend time at the dinner table with your closest and dearest. Appreciate the beauty of the little things. Instead of worrying about what-ifs, direct your energy towards working to manifest your dreams and achieve your desires. Check in on your priorities. Reexamine your game plan.
GEMINI
Your Card: Judgment
For you, Leo season this year brings forth a powerful opportunity for reawakening and renewal. This card represents personal growth and a rediscovered sense of purpose. In order to welcome this pivotal moment, you’re going to have to be open to some serious self-evaluation, be willing to change and adapt, and rise above any challenges you may be facing. What you need the most from yourself at this critical juncture is radical honesty. Look at yourself clearly in the mirror, Gemini. Put down all the masks. Take in all your successes, failures, mistakes, regrets, strengths, and shortcomings. How can you honor them? How can you embody the lessons they have taught you? Take stock of the self-limiting thoughts and behaviors that confine you, so that you may let go of them. Face the realities you’ve been avoiding. Take the accountability you need to take. Define your desires. Surrender to what drives you and what you find fulfilling. Start living and acting with more intent.
CANCER
Your Card: Wheel of Fortune, reversed
Leo season is going to bring about major, unexpected change for you. These shifts might feel terrifying and destabilizing, but it’s crucial that you let go of your resistance to embrace them. Surrender to them, Cancer. They might be utterly uncomfortable, but trust that they are necessary to get you to the place where you belong. Try to learn and grow from this discomfort. Challenge yourself to be more adaptable, so that you may remain open to new experiences and opportunities. Coming closer to what’s truly meant for you means being faced with challenges and, at times, having to watch everything you thought you knew fall apart. Rest assured that this bulldozing is making space for better things—ones full of more joy, more abundance, more beauty. The reversal of the Wheel of Fortune emphasizes how important it is in your current situation to break free from old, repetitive cycles and patterns that keep you feeling powerless and confined.
LEO
Your Card: The High Priestess
Happy Leo season! With the sun entering your first house of identity and new beginnings, now is your time to shine. During this time, there’s a strong opportunity for personal reinvention, realizing your full potential, and stepping into a more empowered, authentic version of yourself. The High Priestess reminds you that everything you need is found within you. You have to trust yourself if you want to manifest your deepest desires and start living more unapologetically. Cut out all logic, fears, and external noise. Don’t let yourself be guided by your anxieties. Instead, access your inner depths for clarity and rely on your inner wisdom, so that you may act sharply. Trust in how you feel moving forward. Take some time to be still and listen to your deepest self. Reflect, journal, and meditate if you must. How can you honor your individuality? What goals feel liberating to you? How can you better tend to your inner sense of confidence? How can you strengthen the connection you have with yourself? What confining patterns and relationships do you need to let go of?
VIRGO
Your Card: Five of Cups, reversed
The reversal of the Five of Cups signals that it’s time to close a chapter on an old part of your life. This Leo season, you must let go of the could-have-beens and should-have-beens. Do you want to remain consumed with heartache and disappointment? Or do you want to let go of this heaviness holding you down and move forward with a lighter heart? This card grants you the gift of acceptance and closure, if you want to take it. All you have to do is stop living in the past and focus on what could be. You can start by shifting your perspective to a more positive one. Reframe the challenges and pain you’ve experienced as lessons. Be grateful for all the cups in your life still standing and try your best to fill each and every one of those cups. Invite more abundance into your life by embracing new experiences and opportunities. Fill your calendar up this next month doing things that will bring you joy. Say yes to everything. Spend time with your friends. Meet new ones.
LIBRA
Your Card: The Fool
Leo season is going to be filled with new, exciting beginnings for you. The possibilities unfolding at your feet are endless. All that you have to do is be willing to take risks, without overanalyzing or overthinking anything. When an opportunity presents itself into your life this next month, take it. Don’t let fear hold you back. Remind yourself that there are no wrong or right decisions and that it’s impossible to plan for everything the Universe throws your way. You don’t have to have a game plan, you just have to be bold. Be unwavering in the faith you have in yourself. Your enthusiasm and curiosity won’t lead you astray. Our greatest accomplishments come from stepping outside of our comfort zone. Remind yourself of that. Don’t be afraid of making any mistakes. Any errors on your part will only fuel your personal growth. Don’t box yourself in. Don’t be influenced by others. Charge ahead fearlessly.
SCORPIO
Your Card: Seven of Cups, reversed
The Sun in Leo illuminates your tenth house of career, reputation, and achievements. Now, more than ever, it’s especially important that you start taking a more proactive role in your own life and start moving forward with more intent. The reversal of the Seven of Cups shows up to shake you and ground you in reality just in time. Use this next month to set intentions, act in a decisive manner, and pursue your goals with unwavering determination. These next four weeks are tailor-made for your lasting success, especially professionally. Any hard work you put in during this time has the potential for propelling you drastically forward. So, think long-term, laser in on what you accomplish, and start making better choices. If there are any distractions you need to cut out, do it. Eliminate your self-limiting thoughts and behaviors—procrastination, imposter syndrome, any lack of faith in yourself. Put your dreams first this Leo season.
SAGITTARIUS
Your Card: Four of Wands
Leo season is going to become one of your most favorite and memorable times of the year. The sun is moving through your ninth house of adventure and exploration, inviting new and eye-opening experiences into your life. You can also expect plenty of celebrations and gatherings during these next four weeks, as denoted by the Four of Wands. This card urges you to appreciate the present. Carve out time to laugh with your nearest and dearest. Nurture your strongest connections. Congratulate yourself for accomplishments and progress thus far by allowing yourself to enjoy life’s simple pleasures. If anyone can take a moment to stop and smell the roses, it’s you, Sag. This card grants you permission to unwind and have fun without feeling guilty. So, make some fun plans. Be spontaneous. Say yes to everything.
CAPRICORN
Your Card: Three of Pentacles
All your hard work and dedication put you in a prime position for reward, recognition, and opportunity this Leo Season. You can expect these next four weeks to be an expansive time for you. If you’ve been working hard for a raise or promotion, you can expect those things, but you’ve got to be willing to advocate for yourself to get them. If you’ve been tirelessly searching for new employment, don’t give up now, an offer is coming soon. Make sure to keep putting yourself out there and making yourself visible. This month is also a good time for refining your skills and maximizing your potential. Sign up for that workshop to take you further in your vocation. Ask your superiors or mentors for their advice. Be open to collaborative teamwork. There is so much to be learned from others.
AQUARIUS
Your Card: Five of Wands, reversed
A certain conflict or conversation that you’ve been avoiding is going to finally present itself during these next few weeks. Seeing as the sun is moving through your seventh house of partnership, it’s going to involve a one-on-one relationship in your life—be it romantic, platonic, or professional. Since you’re in close proximity with this person, you’re going to have to be extremely careful in how you handle the situation. Remember to respond, and not to react. A part of you might feel tempted to keep avoiding the circumstances, but doing so will only magnify the problem and your anxiety. Face it head on. Communicate your thoughts and feelings clearly, without holding back, and give the other person the space to express theirs. Demand respect, and also make an effort to keep an open mind. Meet each other in the middle. If the other person can’t respect your needs, then you’ll know what action to take next.
PISCES
Your Card: The Tower, reversed
Leo season is going to teach you that nothing can ever really stay the same way forever. Try to remember that change isn’t always necessarily a bad thing, but a blessing, even when it comes with some challenges along the way. Have faith that there’s nothing the Universe throws you at you that you can’t overcome and work your way out of. It might feel like everything is falling apart, but in reality, the pieces are coming together. So, don’t be resistant to the shifts taking place around you. Stop delaying the inevitable. Pull back the veil and stop closing your eyes to the truth about certain relationships and aspects in your life. What habits and beliefs do you need to leave behind? The alterations taking place are giving you a sign. What goals have you grown out of, if any? It’s never too late to change your mind, your dreams, or your perspective. What in your life do you have to work so hard to cling on to and preserve? Have you ever thought that maybe it’s time to let it go?
