Haaaay Leo season! Ruled by the Sun which is the center of our solar system, Leo is magnetic, generous, proud, regal, charismatic and is a natural-born icon!

 

Because the Sun is the center of our solar system, Leos have a natural predisposition for being the center of attention but stereotypes generally portray this characteristic as one that Leos seek out and I’ve always found that to be a misinterpretation. Just like how the Sun didn’t choose to be the center of the solar system, Leo likewise doesn’t have to seek this attention. They are just so innately magnetic that it just happens! But that magnetism radiates from their purity of heart.

The sign of Leo does actually rule the heart and as a sign that is associated with royalty, when aligning with Leo energy, we must remember that a good ruler rules from the heart and doesn’t only take care of themselves, but rather their entire kingdom. They are fair, passionate, altruistic, hopeful and determined and as a fixed sign ruled by the element of fire, Leo is the most sustained expression of that fierce, dynamic and passionate elemental energy. Elemental fire energy is initiatory and is the ‘spark’ of passion that catalyzes inspired action. It is the playfulness of newfound creativity and it is the passion we need to see us through life’s challenges and the goals we set for ourselves.

Style wise, because Leos are so attributed to the center-of-attention stereotype, it is often assumed that their aesthetic is loud and bold; however, my observations have led me to the conclusion that this is not necessarily the case. As a sign of regality which is rooted in quality and sensibility, I have actually found that Leo aesthetic falls more in the realm of the monochromatic. Because Leos are already so magnetic, they don’t have to rely on loud looks to receive the attention that is their birthright. However they are very much about embodying their innate royalty and that is manifested through looks that are entirely cohesive and intentional. You can bet on all of Leos accessories matching, as well as each piece being a statement piece individually, and even more so when combined.

The colors that correspond to these dynamic characteristics are: orange, gold, red and hot pink. Based on Leo characteristics and colors associations, I have identified prints and colors that express this Leo regality and since the Leo vibe is so monochromatic, this month’s selections are mostly solid colors! So whether you have prominent Leo placements or are just wanting to align yourself to the energetic currents of the year, these selections will guide us through this season with the strength and grace of the King/Queen of the animal kingdom.

Tangerine


Ruled by the Sun, Leo color correspondence is orange which energetically represents the fire sign qualities of exuberance and creativity. Additionally, Leo season occurs during the peak heat of the summer and no fruit offers more relief during the summer than a juicy tangerine!

Turmeric


This color has always intrigued me and definitely gives me regal vibes. It looks like liquid gold, drizzling honey, a glass of whiskey, a piece of tiger's eye and feels just as divine as that innate Leo royalty looks. This enchanting color is the embodiment of summertime golden hour.

Cayenne


Fixed sign energy is sustained and therefore has a bit of an earthy element to it and this sultry color definitely combines that earthy dependability with that fiery passion making this color an expression of both earthy and fiery sensuality. Plus it looks divine paired with sun-kissed skin!

Lychee


Fire sign energy definitely has a flirtatious aspect to it and hot pink is absolutely the color that expresses that flirty energy. Pair it with a Lychee cocktail while out on a date ;)

Chai


Fixed sign energy is sustained and therefore has a bit of an earthy element to it and this sultry color definitely combines that earthy dependability with that fiery passion making this color an expression of both earthy and fiery sensuality. Plus it looks divine paired with sun-kissed skin!

Fractal


As the sole print on this list, Fractal houses all of the fiery colors: red, orange and even little bits of yellow and hot pink! If you are one of those Leos that does in fact love prints, this is the perfect one for you! Plus its reverse side is solid orange for those times you want to switch it up and tap into the more monochromatic tendencies of Leos.

As a sign that represents the purity of heart, may this season allow us to be honest about not only our needs but also the things we want. The things we want are actually emotional needs and deserve to be as prioritized as our basic needs. May this season allow us the grace to speak freely about our wants, because the things we want go beyond physical needs, they are what our *hearts* need. May this season align us with those that are loyal to us because they want to be, not because of expectations. May this season shine the light on us so that we may shine it onto others. And may this season allow us to be heart-driven and feel pride over being guided by our heart of hearts. So It Is.
