The world is on fire. And people keep looking to me for levity.
And honestly? I don't always know what to say.
I’ve been neck-deep in feminist Bible studies and deconstructionist spirals, trying to hold my own humanity intact while the world begs for my passion — my voice — my energy — about everything.
Leo season has arrived like glitter at a funeral. There’s something almost absurd about its main-character energy in the midst of so much grief, violence, and collective despair. It feels like the adults are whispering grave things behind closed doors while you’re still expected to put on a sparkly little show because, well, you’ve got an audience.
And maybe... you do want to show up. Maybe you do want to bring light, offer warmth, remind people how to feel again.
But god. It's a lot.
We are being asked to care about everything, all at once. And not just care — solve. As if our nervous systems were built to metabolize this level of global suffering between grocery runs and school pickups and scrolling. As if we are machines, not humans who were meant to walk on moss and hum to the trees.
If you’ve been feeling off? Fried? Helpless and furious and small? Yeah. Same.
And still — I believe Leo season holds something sacred.
Not because it will fix anything. But because it reminds us to play anyway. To create for the sake of staying human. To fight back against despair with joy that refuses to die.
This is the season of shitty art. Of bad poetry and weird potlucks and sun-warmed skin. Of keeping whimsy alive as resistance.
Not because we’re ignoring what’s happening. But because we refuse to be desensitized by it.
Hold onto your humanity, babe. With everything you’ve got.

Leo is fixed fire.
It’s not a flash in the pan — it’s steady. Sustained. A slow-burning, heart-fueled flame. It’s the kind of progress that doesn’t need to be flashy to be powerful... but it can be flashy, because, well — Leo.
And what keeps that flame alive?
Passion. Whimsy. Drama. Joy.
(Yes, I keep saying “whimsy.” No, I will not stop. Whimsy is a spiritual practice this season.)
Leo loves the spotlight — not because they’re attention-starved, but because they glow. There is a radiance in Leo that doesn’t steal thunder; it generates warmth. And if you’re the one radiating?
That is healing energy.
Seriously. That kind of joy, that deep inner peace that shows up as visible, vibrant light — it shifts your aura. It changes a room. It blesses the people around you, even when you’re not trying to.
So when people say, “Don’t dim your light”? This is what they mean.
Because your radiance isn’t selfish. It’s generous. 🌻
It’s the byproduct of being fully, authentically yourself — not performing, just being. And for others witnessing that, for those that get to just be in the presence of someone living sincerely and unapologetically lit up with life — that shit is medicine.
Leo energy carries an innocent, almost childlike zeal for life. That “watch me do a cartwheel for no reason” kind of magic. It doesn’t need to make sense. It just wants to ✨express✨.
And that’s what Leo season invites us into.

This is your personalized breakdown of where this astro energy is hitting — and how to work with it, not get worked by it.
Wherever Leo falls for you is your personal stage for doing this inner work of cultivating whimsy and self-expression. That’s where it’s safe to strut. Where it’s healing to main character the hell out of your life.
Leo in the 1st House (Leo Rising):
You are the show. The curtain has risen. You don’t even need to do anything — your presence is the plot. This season asks: Can you let yourself be seen without performing? Can you radiate without asking permission? Be bold. Be big. Be exactly who you are, no edits.
Leo in the 2nd House (Cancer Rising):
Time to put some respect on your worth. This is about sacred self-value — not just dollars, but how you treat your own gifts. What if you played with money instead of fearing it? What if pleasure was a path to abundance? This season says: flex your value like a Love & Hip Hop reunion special.
Leo in the 3rd House (Gemini Rising):
You’re the neighborhood bard this season. Main character energy = your words, your stories, your memes, your karaoke voice. Let your daily life be a playground for expression. Shout your truth with glittery lungs. Text with flair. Think with warmth. Flirt with ideas. (Also maybe your barista.)
Leo in the 4th House (Taurus Rising):
Your home is the stage — but like, in a sexy, nurturing, nobody-can-see-you-dance-in-the-kitchen kind of way. This is about anchoring into joy behind closed doors. Family healing through laughter. Inner child playdates. Build a pillow fort. Cry in the bathtub. Beam like a lighthouse from your own damn living room.
Leo in the 5th House (Aries Rising):
Congratulations: you’ve been cast as the star and the director and the poet and the chaos goblin. This is your season, babe. Your art, your joy, your sex life, your weird little hobbies — all of it deserves your full devotion. Make a mess. Make a masterpiece. Just make.
Leo in the 6th House (Pisces Rising):
What if your routine was radiant? What if joy was built into your spreadsheets and calendar invites? This is your moment to glam up your habits. Make flossing sexy. Bless your to-do list with gold leaf. Your labor deserves a little drama — and your burnout needs a little balm.
Leo in the 7th House (Aquarius Rising):
You are the main character... in your relationships. This doesn’t mean center yourself in someone else’s plot — it means show up fully as you. Take up space. Set the tone. Say the real thing. Let your partnerships be the mirror that reflects your brilliance back to you.
Leo in the 8th House (Capricorn Rising):
Ooooh it’s giving shadowy seductress with a sparkler. This season wants to light up your underworld. Go toward your taboos. Find joy in the grief compost. Let your healing be hot, messy, and way more honest than usual. Radiance born from ruin is still radiance. Let it glow.
Leo in the 9th House (Sagittarius Rising):
Your beliefs are the show now. Your philosophy, your worldview, your wild-ass cosmic takes — they’re ready for primetime. Go teach. Go preach. Go monologue about the deeper meaning of that reality TV plot twist. Your joy is meant to travel, expand, and turn heads while doing it.
Leo in the 10th House (Scorpio Rising):
Your legacy is the mic drop. This season is calling you to lead with heart, not just hustle. To let your public self sparkle with sincerity. You're not just building a career — you’re casting a long shadow of impact. Let people see you shine. This ain’t the time to play small.
Leo in the 11th House (Libra Rising):
You’re the sun in your chosen family’s solar system. The glue. The hype girl. The wild visionary on the group chat. This season wants you to gather your people and remind them how to laugh, dream, and give a damn again. Lead with love. Be the sparkle in the revolution.
Leo in the 12th House (Virgo Rising):
Main character in the dreamscape. This is sacred solitude season. Radiance behind the veil. Your spiritual life is lit — quite literally. Journal like your life depends on it. Commune with the divine. Laugh through your tears. The spotlight’s still on... just inside your own private chapel.

From Ash's Corner
Leo’s lighting up my 9th house — the realm of spirituality, philosophy, faith, and higher perspective. The Big Why. The big-ass questions. The sacred texts and the cracked-open heart.
And honestly? It tracks.
This whole year has been a 9th house profection for me, and it’s felt like one long, slow-burning spiritual reckoning. And not a tidy one either.
But that's not going to stop me from letting myself slide down the rabbit hole, anyway: Alice-style. And not because I’m lost but because the fall is part of the finding. I'm in my philosopher era and I'm researching and exploring paths that have already been carved by other sacred weirdos and mystic rebels alike, and asking lots of questions along the way.
More on that soon. (👀)
And in the spirit of Leo and the holy chaos of play, I’m approaching my spiritual business like a sandbox again. No pressure. No performance. But just from following the warmth of playful intuition and self-trust to guide me to new offers, ideas, containers, and creations.
From “what if we did it this way?”
From “does this feel good in my soul?”
From “do you wanna play with me?”
Because that’s the kind of sacred work I want to be doing — the kind where it’s safe to experiment. Where pleasure and presence are part of the point. Where we remember that play is holy.
So... if you're feeling the call to rebel softly, radiantly, and reverently this season?
You already know what to do.
Moon Magic pre-sale ending soon!
I've been quietly working on a brand new workshop for you and it's rolling out soon! It's called Moon Magic and is a special lunar workshop that will teach you how I use the moon and her cycles for manifesting the right way (because YES GIRL, there is absolutely a wrong way to manifest. And it's probably what's been giving you anxiety or disappointment every time you've tried it in the past).
It's on presale right now since I'm working on it behind the scenes but next week, it'll move into early bird pricing as I prepare to properly market it. My presale pricing is a way to say thank you to early supporters of my projects. If that's you, make sure you get in on the presale price before next week!

Thanks for reading!

CURRENT ASTRO SEASON 🪐
|
UPCOMING BIG SKY EVENTS 🌛
|
|
Welcome to LEO SZN, BB! This is your main character moment! This is live out loud, queen bee, thriving-in-the-limelight type of shiz! Leo season is about taking up space through creativity, pleasure, and play. It’s one big permission slip to let yourself be who you actually are and a reminder to give yourself the space to do the things that keep your spark alive. It’s regal and splendid and theatrical. Get into character and let loose.
|
I’m gonna be real with you: this upcoming full moon is not a very comfy one. She’s rising in the sign of Aquarius — our humanitarian, forward-thinking sign of (r)evolution and she’s not here to be tender with you. She’s here to show you where you’ve been impeding your own growth, downplaying your own gifts, and staying silent on the shit that matters. Be prepared for epiphanies and maybe think about scheduling a therapy session in advance to unpack what comes up. It’s all in service of your growth. 🙏
