Happy return of the sun to you, Leo!
In honor of the sun moving into the fixed fire of your sign, author and tarot reader Kerry Ward has prepared a tarot spread for your year ahead, featuring her Good Karma Tarot Deck.
As a fire sign ruled by the solar, showboat, frontman magic of the Sun — Leo is associated with play, pride and the tiny, regal inner child within.
Leo is rightly connected to creativity, as solar energy encourages the growth of the literal and metaphorical variety.
Light will always find and follow a Leo.
Just as the sun illuminates the earth, so too does an actualized Leo burn bright as an example of what can be achieved when you live with the attitude that you are deserving.
At their highest expression, Leos’ courage and confidence lead by example and give everyone else permission to shine without apology.
“Leos exude vitality, passion, humor, ambition, love, and confidence. They naturally think pretty highly of themselves, too, so they will be expecting high praise, high honors, and high times come their birthday season,” said Ward.
She notes that while lions can be demanding, they give as good as they get. “Be good to them and they’ll be more than good to you. Leo is protective and powerful, especially for those they love.”
People of the mane and the claw, read on to learn more about what the upcoming year holds in store for your sign.

What does the Universe want you to know this birthday?
Four of cups
“In this life, you are so wealthy in all the ways that really matter. You have great character, powers of attraction, vitality, intuition, imagination, and natural charm,” said Ward.
She advises lions to stop looking beyond when so much richness lives within.
“You already have everything you need; now you must learn to use and enjoy it. Start back at the beginning, draw closest to home, look in the mirror. Be grateful you are YOU.”
What is your immediate step on your actual birthday?
Ace of coins
Ward advises the lion pride to invest in themselves on their birthday, an ROI they can build upon and maintain in the years to come.
“The ace of coins is an invitation to a better you, a 2.0 version, and it asks you to consider the areas of health and wellbeing, career, home life/location, and wealth. Select an area, set a goal and create a plan. These are the fundamentals of every life. Get these right and you’re ahead of the curve,” Ward said.
Who are you becoming in the year ahead?
Nine of wands
The nine of wands indicates that you are more capable than ever of facing challenges, overcoming obstacles and interfacing with adversaries.
“You feel much more like taking on the battle this year, and that’s probably because you’ve realized the scale and strength of your full force. You are so, so strong. Don’t let anyone or anything get in your way,” explained Ward.
What is your mission in the year ahead?
The empress
The Empress is a summons to pursue love with a brave heart.
“Whatever stage of the game you’re in, this year will bring you closer to your vision of love. If you’re committed, she’s a symbol of fertility; perhaps it’s time to start or expand your family. If you’re unhappy in your relationship, pour as much love and kindness into your dynamic as you can, and then review in October, or again in May,” said Ward.
Ward reminds all big-hearted big cats, “You desire and deserve the best love life, and this is your gift in the year ahead.”
