There's a whole load of stuff going on cosmically right now, with the start of Leo season being the latest to add to the list.

We had the Perseid meteor shower commencing last week (17 July), and Mercury Retrograde is just about to end this week (23 July), but from tomorrow (22 July), we'll be entering Leo season.

Speaking on behalf of CanadaCasino, astrology expert Inbaal Honigman has exclusively shared with Tyla everything you need to know about it as well as which three zodiac signs will be most impacted and why.

When is Leo season?

In 2026, Leo season begins on the afternoon of 22 July when the Sun moves from the constellation of Cancer into that of Leo.

A month later, on the night of 22 August, the Sun will continue its journey into the sign of Virgo, leaving Leo season behind.

What does this mean?

Inbaal explains that Leo is the Fixed fire sign.

"Fire signs like Aries, Leo and Sagittarius are active and creative," she notes. "They are bold and passionate, and excel at exploring and keeping a positive mood. The Fixed signs are Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius, and they are grounded and stable."

Because of this, Leo season will be creative, playful and successful.

"It is a time for passion, for confidence, and for reaping the rewards of your hard work. During Leo season, we feel more at home on camera, on stage, and leading others. Leo season makes us more sunny and optimistic, while tempers can flare quicker than usual," the expert adds.

What signs will be most affected by Leo season?

"During the majority of this Leo season, it is the planet Saturn that makes Aries' life harder," Inbaal says.

"This planet, which governs discipline, structure and karma, is in Aries for this whole time, and it turns retrograde from 26 August."

This backwards spin means that it will put the brakes on Aries' fiery goals and desires.

While every sign will find the Saturn retrograde to be disruptive and limiting, Aries hates the feeling of being stuck more than almost any other sign.

Leo

First of all, happy birthday, Leo!

"This season will challenge you too," Inbaal warns. "On the one hand, the Sun is in your sign and Jupiter, the planet of luck, is in your sign, so luck will be on your side.

"On the other hand, the Solar eclipse in Leo on the 12th will create a kind of hard reset that you're not necessarily prepared for."

"Useless people will leave your life, but it will be hard because they might be people you like. Pointless jobs and situations will similarly be removed, but you won't always enjoy saying goodbye to them."

Cancer

According to the expert, Cancerians have had a mixed bag over the past few weeks.

"Cancer season, which is just ending, was their birthday month, and the new moon in Cancer has brought them those fresh winds of change, but Mercury retrograde was in Cancer and felt quite limiting and stressful for Cancerians, so they're pleased that it is over," Inbaal says.

"After a few quiet weeks, Mars, planet of passion and war, goes into Cancer on the 11th of August."

This planet is fiery and overpowering, while Cancer wants to be quiet and calm, creating a 'mismatch of energies'.
