What the season is about
Leo season is a fixed fire sign ruled by the Sun itself, which is why astrologers call it the Sun’s own sign. It runs from late July to late August.
It is a month for generosity and play. Make something, celebrate someone, and take the stage when it is offered.
The risk is pride. Share the spotlight and it stays warm for everyone.

Questions, answered
When does Leo season start?
The Sun enters Leo on July 23, 2027, 01:04 UTC and leaves on August 23, 2027, 08:14 UTC, about 31 days later. The page shows both moments in your own time zone.
Why do the Leo dates change from year to year?
The usual Leo dates are an average. The calendar year is not a whole number of days long, so the moment the Sun crosses into Leo drifts by some hours each year and can land on a neighbouring date, depending on your time zone as well.
What if I was born on the first or last day of Leo season?
Your Sun sign depends on the exact moment of your birth, not on the average dates. A birth chart with your birth time settles it.
What does “Reading confidence 40%” mean?
It says how specific a reading is. A line written for a Sun sign alone, with no date or birth time, carries 40%. It is not the chance that something happens.
