Leo Season Cosmic Energy Report | July 22 - Aug 22 2026 Astrology and tarot from two grounded earth signs.
Leo Season: Barbault's Basket, the rare planetary alignment astrologer André Barbault called a potential turning point for humanity plus the August 12th total solar eclipse, Jupiter vs. Pluto, and why this might be the boldest astrological window in decades.
Emily and Andrea check in after a heavy, introspective season of wildfires, global unrest, and a Cancer Mercury retrograde and share a big update: Emily's podcast is rebranding to The Emily and Her Stars Podcast as it hits its 5-year anniversary. Then they dig into Leo season, the North Node's shift into Aquarius, and how Andrea's tarot pulls, from the Nine of Wands to the King of Pentacles, echo one consistent message: stop waiting for permission and trust what you've built.
