Summer Sun In Leo! Shiny, Shiny, Shiny!
“Here comes the Sun; here comes the Sun, and I say, it’s all right.”
–The Beatles
The Sun is in its own sign in Leo. Ego is in the sign of ego, shiny and creative, life affirming and warm. The term “ego” sometimes gets a bad rap but a strong, healthy ego is the backbone or heart (Leo) of a strong, healthy personality. The transiting Sun illuminates everything it touches. They say there’s nothing new under the Sun, but sometimes it brings things to light in new perspective.
The extra shiny Sun in Leo hits your chart in the same place every year, by house and by aspect. For me that’s the 12th house, a house where a planet’s effects can seem hidden for some. I find the Sun is the most comfortable planet I ever have in my 12th. It warms up my dark, hidey places and I don’t have my usual reaction to a planet transiting there, one of “get it out, get it out, get it out!” In fact, for me it’s often a time of yearly renewal of an attitude of connectedness to the universe. That is also a function of the 12th house and Neptune, as well as relating to my Neptune (Pisces Sun).
At some point during its stay in Leo the sun will aspect your own Sun. This brings extra creative focus and illumination to your ego, no matter where your Sun is. It’s a great time to focus on who you are, revel in it.
Where does the transiting Leo Sun hit your chart? Where is your own Sun?

Leo is sitting on top of my natal Pluto in the 7th House; with my Scorpio Sun stellium in the 10th the lights are turned up with the opposition; the dark spots of relationships are getting ‘some sun.’
Just talked with an old pal, and she had talk about other old pals who are no longer part of my current world. There are health issues being dealt with in many of our old-pal worlds. I appreciate your perspective on Leo’s shine and ‘ego’ in the best of ways. There’s room to send good cheer, even though time has passed and our paths don’t cross. There’s the gracious and generous Leo-nature. Thanks for this Satori.
yay! you’re welcome.9th and 10th…
1st house sun in leo. I can feel my ego inflating and pulling me to center stage. I constantly fight it because I can’t seem to be in the limelight and be nice at the same time.
10th and 10th! I’m all lit up!
1st house. I pretty much glow in the dark right now.
Leo on 12th house… also like transiting sun over here, where i have my Vesta and Saturn.
My Natal Sun in on 11th @ Cancer.
It is sitting in my 9th house. I want to go on a really nice vacation but I am stuck right now. It is also squaring my 12th house sun.
I’ve got a pretty freaky set of transits today with the Leo Sun :
- T-Sun (and more loosely, Venus) conjunct my Pluto in H11, setting off my sextiles to Moon and Neptune and my Moon/Pluto square
- T-Pluto still conjunct my Merc/Ceres,
- T-Mars exactly conjunct my NN so loosely opposing said Merc/Ceres;
- and T-Moon (and more loosely Saturn) conjunct my Neptune
It’s raining and I ain’t going anywhere!
Leo is speared by my DC and is right now the sun is in my 6th sextiling my Mars in the 8th. It[s moving in on sextiling my natal Uranus and Libra sun in the 8th.
t Sun in Leo is the 9th house for me, and at some point, it conjuncts my NN in Leo in 9th. I usually get very restless at this time. I want to be “elsewhere,” to experience something totally new and exciting. I start browsing for foreign study or work programs and imagine just going away for an entire year to somewhere as far away from home as possible. I start reading something different, and want to just break off from my routine. I want to meet new people, and find something new to believe in. A new goal to achieve. It’s a fun time.
The Leo Sun is lighting up my 10th house. I’ve been sitting on pins and needles waiting for feedback on a new creative project. The board met last night, so I expect to hear their response today! If it’s good, my Ego will definitely feel the lift, as well as my career! 
I’m gonna sport some big hair today!
11th/12th 
Leo Sun @2d, 11th house Placidus, 12th house Equal — conjunct Venus, either way. Add that to my Water Trine, and you’ve got a pretty floppy kitty; but my hip-length, red mane kinda clinches it for me… I’m sayin’ that peeps see the Leo comin’, savvy ? : )
