Here Comes the Sunshine, Here Comes the Roar
A love letter to Leo season and the courage to be seen
You know those days when you suddenly feel like changing your sheets, buying bright yellow flowers, wearing orange, and taking yourself out for blueberries just because?
That's Leo energy arriving.
I can always tell when Leo season hits. My spine feels longer. My inner child is louder. I want to be seen—and not in a shallow, performative way, but in a deeply alive way. Like: "I know who I am, and I love me just as I am."
The Sovereignty of Expression
Today I found myself moving differently. I wanted to outwardly express joy, to fill my space with color and warmth. There's a sovereignty that returns. Not the sovereignty of control, but the sovereignty of expression.
Leo doesn't need permission to shine—it just shines.
In Vedic astrology, I'm a Leo rising, and honestly, I feel it. During a deep altered state journey, I saw myself as a lion—fierce, protective, watching over the pride. The medicine was teaching me about how I block my voice. I want to roar, but I pull back. I'm afraid of the sound of my own truth. I'm afraid others will be intimidated by it. I'm afraid they'll leave.
But Leo is here to show us that love isn't loud because it needs to be. Love is loud because it overflows.
Past Lives and Present Truths
I also had an Akashic reading once that revealed a Leo-like past life. It made so much sense. The courage, the need to guard the heart, the innate leadership—and the fear of being too much.
And in Western astrology, Leo in the 12th house can point to hidden Leo karma—maybe you were royalty, or held positions of power in past lives, and now you're learning to reclaim that energy without the ego attachments.
The Radiance We Never Needed to Earn
So today, as I roam the grocery store like a lioness in a field of fruit, as I drape gold across my body and play Bob Marley in the garden, I remember:
This isn't about performance. This is about returning to the radiance I never needed to earn.
To be honest, if I could find myself on a farm with just flowers, I would be so happy.
