So as this podcast goes to air, we have moved into the sun sign of Leo. Leo is bold and reminds us to feel pride in our lives. The thing I love so much about Leo is that it brings us courage—courage to stand in our truth and courage to make changes. Change isn’t easy but so needed at this time. Courage brings in the energy of the heart which helps to raise our vibration to make these changes from a loving perspective.
