Ruled by the Sun, Leo season is all about honoring the traits we love most about ourselves, no matter what they are. While everyone isn’t as keen being in the spotlight as Leos are, this season reminds us of the importance of recognizing and reinforcing our positive characteristics. It’s also retrograde season, with Neptune, Saturn, and Chiron backspinning in Aries and Mercury retrograde in Leo. But don’t let a little disruption in the universe hinder you from making moves and accomplishing your dreams. 

As you navigate the next four weeks, we’ve got you covered with a collection of star sign inspired wines. Check them out below, along with our new Leo Season Spotify Playlist, where you’ll find a stellar collection of tunes to keep you groovin’ all month long.

Aries

There’s tons of glamorous fun and pleasure in your future as the Sun graces your fifth house of passion and self expression. Your calendar is jam packed with social appearances, nights out on the town, and date nights with someone special. This is also your chance to dive into something new, as the Sun gives you an extra boost of creativity. Find fresh and exciting ways to express yourself, whether that’s through art, clothes, writing, cooking, or whatever your heart desires. Just make sure you’re making smart choices as you search for new ways to make yourself happy.

You Should Drink: Punset Barbera d'Alba 2023

Taurus

The vibes this season are fairly low-key as you chill at home and spend quality time with loved ones. This is a great opportunity to nurture your bonds with the people closest to you and focus on yourself a little more while practicing some self care. With Saturn, Neptune, and Mercury in retrograde, you’re likely to feel a bit more nostalgic than usual. Visit somewhere you used to go when you were younger or cook your favorite childhood meal and share it with those closest to you.

Gemini

As the Sun gleams in your third house of socialization and community, you’re quite pumped to hang out with friends again. This is your time to shine as you share the exciting ventures you’ve been working on with the world. Just be sure you’re being clear and concise with your message as your ruling planet, Mercury, is in retrograde right now, meaning things can get lost in translation.

You Should Drink: Antico Monastero Gavi 2024

Cancer

It’s time to turn those birthday wishes into reality, Cancer! While you’re sure to have grand plans of what you’d like to accomplish, the best way to ensure you succeed is by paring things down and prioritizing what needs to be done. By doing that, you’ll be able to incorporate your plans into your daily routine and achieve more than ever before. Remember to pamper yourself in between all your hard work.

Leo

Happy Birthday Leo! The Sun is radiating in your first house of identity and new beginnings, awakening you from the extra sleepy vibes of last season. While you’re used to a more hype and chaotic vibe during your birthday season, things are still pretty mellow and full of introspection with both Jupiter in Cancer and Mercury in retrograde in your sign. Wait until Mercury turns direct to truly celebrate your birthday. In the meantime, set yourself some well thought out intentions for the rest of the year that highlight your priorities.

You Should Drink: Aslina Skin Contact Chenin Blanc 2023

Virgo

Even though this is normally the time that you’d be able to power down, Mars, the planet of action, is in your sign until August 6. Instead of being able to relax, you’re likely to be pretty restless. You’ll find yourself with an extra boost in creativity and motivation, especially when it comes to mastering a skill or diving into something new.

You Should Drink: A Vita Winery Calabria IGP Rosato 2024

Libra

It’s about to be a fun time for you Libra, as the Sun shines in your eleventh house of teamwork. Instead of being holed up in the office the whole time, attend networking events, have team building outings, and spend time with coworkers outside of work. Make sure you also make time for your friends, as you’ve had a bit of tunnel vision when it comes to accomplishing your ambitions. Plus, with Mars in Virgo, your energy is on the fairly low end, which means it’s even more important for you to lean on your team and your inner circle for support.

You Should Listen: "Count on Me" by Bruno Mars

You Should Drink: Quinta da Mariposa Dao Tinto 2020

Scorpio

Put your master plan in action as your ambitious side gets turned up to eleven. This is your time to shine when it comes to your career, as you tackle tasks and live up to your responsibilities. It’s also an excellent time to master the art of delegation, passing off tasks that can be handled by others instead of trying to do everything by yourself. Just ensure that you’re clear with your intentions of what you’d like people to accomplish so that Mercury retrograde doesn’t slow anything down, or misconstrue what you mean. You may also have to follow up with people to make sure things are running smoothly.

You Should Drink: Agusti Torello Mata Cava Gran Reserva 2017

Sagittarius

Aside from your own season, Leo season is your favorite time of the year as the Sun twinkles in your ninth house of adventure and curiosity! It’s normally the time that you venture outside of your comfort zone and explore everything the world has to offer. Even though you should hold off on traveling until Mercury retrograde ends, that shouldn’t prevent you from going on day trips with friends or diving into a brand new project. Meet up with like-minded people and toss ideas back and forth. You never know what could spark a bit of creativity and motivation.

You Should Drink: Bom Dia Bubbly Can Wine

Capricorn

This season you’re all about merging with others as long as it’s mutually beneficial. You’re looking for full on commitment from others, not someone who has one foot out the door or is uncertain. If you’re feeling hesitant, it’s worth being open with the person, talking through your concerns, and building a strong foundation of trust to overcome your apprehension. Be receptive to what others have to say with an open mind and heart.

Aquarius

As you welcome the Sun into your seventh house of partnership, you’ve entered into the mindset of “we” instead of “me.” By working together with others, you’ll be able to accomplish so much more. If a collaboration isn’t working, don’t try to force it into submission, especially since Mercury is in retrograde right now and can cause a disruption of harmony in your relationships.

Pisces

The Sun’s rays are beaming order back into your life, as you focus on your physical and mental health and get yourself organized. This is an excellent opportunity for you to go through your things and get rid of anything that no longer serves you, as well as cleaning out your cupboards of anything unhealthy. You’re taking the phrase “out with the old” to a whole new level, as you upgrade your routines and find solace in learning new things. Check out local workshops or classes that you can take to exercise your brain power.
