the sun is in leo until 12:08am EST Thursday, August 23! it's been a weirder leo season than most with mercury retrograde in leo for most of it & mars retrograde in aquarius, the opposite sign of leo. as we transition into virgo season, the sun will continue to shine, just in a different part of our lives. I've crafted the following affirmations to support you in affirming yourself with leo confidence as we move into the analytical finesse of the sun in virgo. read for your rising sign or your sun sign if you don't know your rising.
