Leo is my DSC, but I don’t know that SAD is a result of that. My is not very pronounced really..but there is a definite decline in mood as the days get shorter. Especially when fall ends. I am very subject to changes in weather and season. I didn’t know they made specific SAD lights. I usually just slather on the sunscreen and jump in a tanning bed when I feel the drag affecting me. I call it a “sunshine vacation.” Really boosts my mood..so does the smell of cocoa butter in the winter.

I get really down in fall/ winter…before the snow comes is the worst.I allways questin if I’ll see the sun again..feel it heat me up. I have moon in Leo.I use sad lights , and they def help.

I used to live in The Netherlands, very much like the English weather a lot of gray sky and cold. I did get depressed, to this day I have a low tolerance for fog or gray skies.

Ive been aware if how good the Sun is… i had great moments of my life enjoying it… as i went older ive started switching my day/night activities, and became such an vampire… but i still try to make my walks on a sunny day with no t-shirts to enjoy it to the fullest…

ive got a 12th house Leo Saturn/Vesta conjunction both opposing my 6th house Aquarius Moon.

I do – although when I’m happy in my life, then I don’t feel it so much, because I’m happy period.

I have a Leo MC.

I also have Jupiter int he 5th.
I’ve noticed that as I’ve groen older, I love, love, love the Spring mornings more than ever. I loved the sun being up by 5:30am, as a teenager, but now? I need it. and that’s why I hated sleeping through mopst of the bautiful spring mornings, this year, and last year.

I’ve got a stellium in the 12th in Leo. I didn’t realize this until the last couple of months really looking into my chart and trying to understand astrology more and understand myself more. I just always worried about my sun sign before.

This past April I was having a reading by a psychic and I told her I feel like my soul is dying if I don’t have the sun. Then I find out I have a stellium in Leo, no wonder I feel this way!! This made me trust myself, and what I am feeling more.

I actually get happier in the fall/winter because of the holiday seasons and I just enjoy them.

The only Leo I have is my 5th house.

Leo IC, which is in my 3rd – home of the chart ruler – and a happy fifth house. I’ve got a light, too, in spite of not-much-Leo.

Then again, I am a diehard Californian, so I suppose context is everything.

I also like rain and even though I am leo rising with jupiter conjunct ascendant, the sun is not a full proof cure for my blues. I live in the south though so maybe this has something to do with it. I’ ve always felt more suited to a cooler climate. I’ve been diagnosed with dysthymia which is a mild form of depression.. The thing is my depression gets worse in the spring which is, probably when all the peeps with SAD perk up, which by contrast makes me more aware.. Its just a theory I ju st made up lol..

I love this sun but live in temperate rainforest. It rains a lot where I live.

The nature is out of this world though, so I deal. I also spend an obscene amount of time outdoors, even when the weather is bad, so that helps.

I hated the snow way worse, it made me feel like I was suffocating. Too hard to get around.

I have Leo Saturn in my 8th square my 5th House Sun. I love the Sun!

Leo Asc, also Jupiter and Pluto in 1st house Leo, Aries Sun. I have a very strong addiction to sun light.

Moved back to Finland 11 years ago after 20+ years in the Mediterranean countries and have struggled through the extremely dark and long winters ever since.

Without my persistent and sunny nature I would have given up already.

I voted I prefer the shorter days. I’m not sure if it’s my astrology or my heritage or maybe both . Leo rules my 2nd house, no planets there. My sun is in cancer in my 12th house and neptune is inconjunct by 1degree. Neptune is my only 5th house planet, which is scorp/pluto ruled, so I guess I can always just create my own sun.
