Leo season is here!! ♌️

Bold. Radiant. Warm.☀️

Leo energy, at its best, is genuinely open-hearted.♥️ It is courageous, creative, and the kind of warmth that makes a whole room feel welcome.

I love Leo season! 🦁 (It’s my birthday season too, so I really do!)

But all that beautiful golden light can definitely come with its own heavy shadows:

Needing to be respected. Pride that can’t admit when it’s wrong. A teeny flair for the dramatics.😉

And that’s just for starters!

Yeah, Leo season gives us plenty of shadows to sit with. But this year, Leo isn’t just a guest star. The South Node just moved into Leo for the next 20 months. Which means, collectively, we’re being asked to release a major Leo storyline in our identity.

And there’s one really big Leo Shadow theme that runs through the collective no matter where Leo lives in our birth charts. It’s something I’ve come across in many of the people I’ve worked with, and certainly something I’ve recognized in myself.

So many of us believe we have to matter on a big scale - to matter at all.

That we have to impact thousands. Hundreds of thousands. That the number is somehow proof. That if it’s small, if it’s quiet, if it’s just one person in one room, it doesn’t really count.

And I think, collectively, we’re being asked to release the belief that making an impact has to be big - to be real.

Releasing the need to be exceptional, to be remembered, to be the one who’s watched.

But sweetie, there’s something you really need to know: Scale was never the measure of significance. We were just conditioned to believe it was.

The Shadow is only half the story. The medicine lives deeper. 🔥Inner Alchemy Circle members can continue reading below:
