The heart of summer opens to everyone as the Sun shines in its own sign, Leo. The big cat of the zodiac is now at the center of the stars. Massive Jupiter, the planet of good fortune, visits each sign for about one year and has now entered this sign. Leo's opposite sign of partnership, Aquarius, will also receive a lion's share of fun with friends and romance with partners over the year ahead.

Leo is perfectly placed, both seasonally and culturally, because this sign delights in creativity, children, parties, and romance, perfect for the height of summer. In addition, Astrologers are currently intrigued by the combination of intelligent Uranus and transformative Pluto, bringing innovative solutions to everyone.
