The Sun moves into the sign of Leo shortly after 5 p.m. EDT on July 22, 2018.
Leo is a fixed, fire sign.
Individuals with a Leo Sun sign (or a dominance of planets in Leo or several planets in the fifth house), want to enjoy life. These individuals love to love.
Leoians can be a bit stubborn when it comes to making changes and are considered somewhat inflexible (as are all of the fixed signs). It will take a lot of convincing to sway a Leo individual from their goals and objectives, once their mind is made up. They can be a powerful force to deal with but often have the best intensions at heart. Some people can find a strong Leo personality a bit pushy, but these individuals will tell you, whatever they are saying or trying to achieve is for the good of the individual in their focus. Much of what they do is for others and when they go out of their way to make someone happy and do not get recognition for their effort, they are easily hurt although they will not show this. They do bounce back, however, largely due to their optimistic attitude and cheerful disposition.
Leo individuals have faith in themselves and can be rather persuasive.
As mentioned, Leo is a fire sign, and like other fire signs, they are enthusiastic and are intent upon reaching their goals in life. They have a tendency to be overly spontaneous and rather impulsive in their approach. Leoians are often the first ones to move forward when others are lagging behind because of indecision. They are self-motivated, objective in their pursuits and optimistic about the outcome, even when things look bleak.
Leo individuals are creative, inspirational and are often gifted in the arts - acting, drama, etc.
Those individuals who have their Sun in Leo between 6 and 25 degrees will have Mercury which goes into retrograde from July 26 until August 19, 2018 conjunct their Sun currently. The house the Sun and Mercury (while in transit) is found in within your personal chart will describe the areas of life that will be affected by this aspect and retrograde cycle. While the Sun often speaks in terms of pushing ahead in life and taking advantage of the energies in place, during this retrograde cycle, it might be suggesting for you to simply review your plans and wait before taking action. Mercury retrograde is often associated with making time to reflect or reconsider or at least review any documents that need to be signed or and then moving ahead once Mercury goes direct again. If you have Mercury retrograde in your birth chart and your chart correlates with this positioning, it is highly advised that you wait until Mercury goes direct. However, if you need to move ahead now, go forward but you can expect some delays with your plans and possibly some changes coming your way. This is often an offshoot of Mercury Retrograde when it affects the birth potential.
If by chance you have Mars (which is going through the sign Aquarius for the remainder of July and again into Aquarius the middle of September, 2018) and your Sun in the early degrees of Leo, your Sun will be in opposition to transiting Mars during this time. Oppositions usually imply other people creating some challenging conditions or discussions which might affect you personally or may affect your plans in some way. You may have some type of opposition to what you trying to push forward with, although much depends on the rest of the transits in your chart as well as how Mars and your Sun are aspected in the natal chart.
