Welcome to Leo Season! The Sun arrives in the fifth sign of the zodiac, it’s home turf, kicking off four weeks devoted to fun and play, creativity and the arts, individuality and self expression. Leo invites everyone to shine like the Sun and to find our passion to live.
Now that the Sun is in Leo, it makes a dynamic and confrontational opposition to Pluto in Aquarius. If you recall, we’re still in the early stages of a new era. Pluto only just arrived in Aquarius for the first time in two centuries. This is the first time that the Leo Sun has opposed Pluto in Aquarius since the 1790s.
Regardless of this historical fact, the Sun opposes Pluto once a year. It is a time when there is a demand for evolution and transformation. A Pluto opposition holds the mirror to us in order to reveal something previously hidden. It’s also an aspect that spotlights the use of power and control and the sometimes darker side of it.
Note that while Pluto is in Aquarius, it’s only there for another five weeks. Pluto will renter Capricorn on September 1 for one last time while we are living and then re-enters Aquarius on November 19 for the next 20 years. (Read Pluto in Aquarius: Sign by Sign.)
