• Leo season starts on July 23, 2023 and ends August 22, 2023.
  • This astrological season will inspire you to soak up all the fun this summer has to offer.
  • Leo season impacts all zodiac signs, but Leo and Aquarius will feel it the most.

There’s a time and a place for just hanging at home, relaxing, and keeping things low-key. That’s definitely not Leo season.

This time of year will make you want to squeeze every last drop out of summer. Running from July 23, 2023 through August 22, 2023, this astrological season is one of 12 total that happen every month. Each astrological season brings its own distinct vibe to the calendar, and that can impact different areas of your life.

During Leo season, you’ll have one major goal: Getting in some serious F-U-N. But that’s just a teeny tiny bit of what you can expect for your zodiac sign. Here’s everything that’s coming up, according to Donna Page, a certified astrologer in Atlanta.

What does Leo season mean for your zodiac sign?

Because Leo is a fire sign, prepare for an astrological kick in the butt during this time. You’ll say yes to every summery thing that comes your way. Ice cream truck rolling down your street? You’ll be the first to flag it down. Friends planning a beach day? You’re already slipping into your swimsuit.

You’ll also want to party, filling your social cal with happy hours, BBQs, and concerts. It's all in an effort to get together with friends and celebrate anything and everything.

While you’re hyper focused on having a good time (because, hello, it’s summer!), you still need to bring your A-game at work. After all, your boss doesn’t care that you've been staying up late and prepping hard to see Taylor Swift live. Just be smart about taking care of business first, so you can have more time to let loose.

This particular Leo season is synched up with Venus, which is going retrograde in Leo. Translation: You’ll be laser focused on doing what you can to find your bliss. That may be as simple as treating yourself to a new drink at your local coffee shop just because it's Tuesday, or it can be as major as deciding to embark on an entirely new career path. Basically, if you feel like certain things in your life aren’t bringing you joy, it’s time to ditch them and move on.

Pluto is also in the mix, which can make you feel like some things are outside your control. Don’t let that angsty energy bring you down, though. Now is a good time to remind yourself that the only constant in life is change, so you might as well embrace the uncertainty with open arms (and perhaps a solid backup plan).

Leo season will impact all zodiac signs, but Leo and Aquarius will feel it the most.

How will Leo season impact the rest of your year?

Leo season is the time to let loose, and that can have lasting effects if you play your cards right. A biggie: You’ll realize how much you’ve needed some good, old-fashioned fun in your life, and that’ll have you craving even more of it in the future. You’ll start making a point to schedule in new, regular adventures with your buddies, creating all kinds of cool memories in the future.

Also, taking a beat to figure out what makes you feel next-level happy is always a good move. The time you spend tapping into what drives your inner joy now will allow you to fuel that going forward and, ultimately, help you create the most awesome life for yourself.

What’s the next zodiac sign season?

Once Leo season comes to a close, it’s time for Virgo season, which runs from August 23 to September 22, 2023. During this season, you’ll feel an urge to buckle down a little more and get your life in order.

Until then… get on out there and enjoy summer—the universe wants you to, after all.
