Leo season is upon us. A time to celebrate the decadence of being alive, it’s an era to both see and be seen. These sunny summer babies embody star power, high quality, and unconditional youthfulness. Sure, they can at times hog the spotlight and presume the world revolves around them, but their radiance is ultimately too infectious to stay mad at. 

Any time we’re in a fire sign era, there’s a call to action to set ablaze who you once were and step into a new you. If you’re ready to wipe away the tears of Cancer season and align with your highest baddie potential, here are some notes on how to tap into your “it” factor this Leo season.

5 Ways to Make Leo Season Your Party

Say Yes

When you’re cozy at home, leaving the warmth of your sheets isn’t always the easiest decision to make. However, Leo season nearly guarantees many invitations to be outside. If there’s any time to take advantage of your vibrant youth, this is the time to do it. Call your Uber Black and set aside some under-eye masks for the morning— there will be plenty of time for rest during Virgo season anyway. 

Be Fashionably Bold

This is no time to play it safe. Mix patterns and fabrics, crinkle your hair and dare to wear those uncomfortable boots everyone will gawk at. Life is your runway and this is the time to get creative when it comes to your sense of expression. After all, the only accessory necessary during Leo season is confidence.

Go After What You Want

Whether it’s sliding into the DMs of your Insta crush or going after a new position at work, Leo season is the time to be audacious. Being shy won’t get you into the rooms you want to be in, so there’s no use in wasting time overthinking. You should be your biggest fan, and as long as you believe in yourself, you can convince anyone to do so, too.

Reconnect With Your Inner Child

The sign of Leo rules children, which makes it an optimal time to reconnect with your inner child. Consider taking on some fun hobbies, visiting a local park or even spending quality time with your parents. Little you deserves some play, nurtured creativity and to feel the ease of being taken care of. A happy meal and ice cream sundae on the side certainly wouldn’t hurt, either.

Invest In Yourself

You are your temple and every action you take should be in devotion to up-keeping your beauty and radiance. Spend those extra 15 minutes getting every step of your nightime skincare routine in, buy a soft silk pillow, book a mani-pedi and invest in the hair conditioning masks that will restore any dry follicles. It’s always worth it to go the extra mile if it means feeling better about yourself.
