Who feels Leo season most?
Everyone feels Leo season, but it lands most personally for Leo suns, who are in their birthday season and a kind of personal new year, a powerful time to set intentions. Aquarius suns feel it most across their relationships, since Leo sits opposite their sign.

A gentle note
