The Sun rules Leo. That’s not a secret to anyone who knows astrology. But here is the thing most people miss. When the Sun is strong in your chart you get confidence.

Transits involving this planet bring specific lessons. The intensity depends on how the transit interacts with natal placements. Hard aspects create friction that demands attention. Soft aspects support natural flow.
