to Leo placements

Leo placements, when undeveloped, are obsessed with validation. not having received enough of it growing up has created this lack of confidence in themselves and their abilities. Leo people compensate for this lack of self-confidence by exaggerating their appearance, their self-expression, and by bragging about their accomplishments.

even if they do manage to win others' approval for their personality or for the things they have created, they remain unsatisfied, and work harder to get recognition. Leo placements will tire trying to find validation outside of themselves, because it will never be guaranteed or systematic. it's something they should find within.

Leo has a thing or two to learn from the Sun, the celestial body that rules their sign.

the Sun is the father of all forms of life. the Sun would keep on burning, on shining, and on creating, whether we would be here to admire it or not, because it is in its nature.

so Leo placements, you do not need others' approval. your being, your creations and whatnot have value because they are unique. your existence and your capacity to create are miracles. for that very reason, you should enjoy your gifts without wondering if they will bring you praise.

"The Sun blinds everyone with its light so that it can protect its inner self"

happy leo season <3
