The double Leo sky this week lends itself to a conversation of surprises.
You would think that having the Sun and Moon in Leo would bring a loud, fiery energy that craves attention and has endless creativity. Yes to the creativity, but no to the outgoing nature that would be implied with “Double Leo.”
Quite the opposite — Leos are shy and even introverted. That is, until they are called forward to play a role or take the lead, and then their power shows up in spades.
All through my career, people who are influencers have found me. I was always curious how without soliciting the ‘famous,’ they would appear to me, wanting a reading.
It has been a confusing puzzle, not just for me but for others, too. I have wondered why people have thought my ‘ego’ drew them to me.
This is the conversation that aligns with Leo — they are known for the Ego as a primary personality trait. They are the folks who are a bit louder, shinier, and more likely to wear their success on the outside for all to see.
The other night, my stepson called me out on my relationship with celebrities. He implied that I was impressed with myself having been the Astrologer to the likes of: Sting, Madonna, Aaron Rodgers, Shailene Woodley, Jennifer Aniston, India Arie…
Yes, I have had my share of celebrities — none of whom I ever sought out. All of them found me. However, that was not what my stepson was calling out; he was questioning my attitude about these people — and if I liked that I had their names in my Rolodex. This is so LEO!
I was surprised and had to defend myself: while it does delight me that these superstars (all of whom have Leo/Fire in their charts) have found me and yes, I do find great pleasure in being the Astrological mirror for beings who are often the biggest energy in the room, I am not impressed.
We had a great conversation when we both understood what the other was saying and the Leo energy was addressed. The right use of a sky like this is to feel totally safe in who you are, regardless of being misinterpreted.
What if we all could hold to our own truths, knowing that you are being your authentic and real self? There is no need to react to others who may not see and understand who and what you are.
This is one of the greatest lessons of Leo. If we all carried the self confidence to hold our voice intact, show up with all our power, and share our hearts willingly, what a world this would be.
During this sky, ask yourself: If you were truly self confident, how would your world look? Would you be different? Would you run your own business? Would you change your lifestyle?
Double Leo is misinterpreted by Astrologers to be the one who ‘needs’ attention and will grab it. There is some truth to that. They are strong, bossy, and direct.
Then there is the shyer, internal voice of Leo who performs and plays the role this life has handed them, comes off the stage and returns to their shy self — without preference for either role.
Without preference for either role. This is the mastery of Leo.
Sure, I can utilize my ego to serve, perform, share, or not… whatever the soul requests. This is why this double-Leo moon can feel confusing.
Am I a showoff with my success? Or is it ok to be shy and just let my love for life be enough, without showing off, going public and just being a happy introvert?
Which one are you? To be confident on either side is the name of the game.
Enjoy the dark sky and allow yourself to pray: May I be comfortable in my skin just the way I am. Allow me to know self acceptance and the joy therein.
Blessings,
Debra

SAVE THE DATES: August 1 – 5 & August 8 – 12, 2022 at 10 AM PT
+ A FINAL INTEGRATION PARTY ON AUGUST 15TH at 12 PM PT
Everyone thinks something is wrong with them when actually, you were born with an agreement between you and your soul of who you would be and the DESTINY you would fulfill in this life. Your parents, your body type, your relationships … it was all written in the stars.
No matter how much work you’ve done on yourself – the courses, the books, the healers, the green juices, the coaches – that unconscious saboteur still sneaks in, demanding we forget what we agreed to in our soul contract!
When you are in charge of your inner-dialogue, you have a daily experience of exalted freedom. Sound too spiritual? Well, it’s not! It’s simple.
Join me for this FREE 10-day immersion and I will help you remember what the contract said. Silence the inner gremlins once and for all. Let me hold your hand and show you how that works.


Thank you for this! I don’t feel very confident or competent at anything but crying and getting it all wrong lately! I would rather be successful and have love and a successful business etc but right now I’m at a complete loss for what I’m supposed to do and feel like what I want to do is impossible. Thanks for listening!
Leo (July 26th) here. This article about Leo was so interesting. I learned much from reading it. I have gone back and forth through my life. As a very young child I was very introverted. When I reached my teens I was extroverted, but not direct and very insecure. Stayed that way most of my life. Now that I am over 60, I am very introverted again. I have finally learned to like being just me. I get bored with myself here and there. But then I treat myself to WINDOW shopping at Home Goods store. I just love looking at their decor. And ours has some incredible finds on imported foods at really good prices. If a Leo cant buy we will still go looking at all the pretty things!!
I like it I’m a Virgo Leo scorpio.. So I get it Thank you so much for sharing amazing grace…
Well this is the first time I’ve seen anything that explains my shy side being a Lea. I always thought I may have been broken and born under the wrong sign but after reading this, even being brief, I have a much greater understanding now and I am so grateful x
I have seen this to be very true with Ian Anderson, the lead Trickster/Frontman for The 60’s rock band Jethro Tull. If you look at his chart he has Leo rising with the ruling Sun in Leo in the twelfth house. He is a shy, quiet person offstage, preferring to leave the hoopla at the end of shows for the peace of his hotel room, yet on stage he expresses the other Leo dynamic, expressing himself very physically and aggressively like a man obsessed with joy itself! Indeed, one could not possibly burn that much fuel constantly!
This New Moon has Mercury at 5 degrees crossing my first house of Leo, opposite my Yod point of Jupiter at 6 degrees in the 7th house of Aquarius. Leading with my heart is all I can do right now. Happy New Moon intentions and wishes. Shine on you crazy diamond. Leading role or off stage, I am leading with my heart. <3
