Transition from Leo to Virgo: are you brat or demure

This week, we wrap up Leo Season, aka Brat Summer, and move into the “very demure, very mindful” Virgo Season. The Astrology doesn't miss when it comes to the trends (or is it that the trends don’t miss the Astrology?) 

Not only does the shift from "brat summer" to "demure" mark a transformation from playful, carefree rebellion to a more refined, composed demeanor, but it also, once again, proves the influential power of Astrology. 

We also love to see the archetypal trends boldly personified for a few reasons: One - both mantras give authenticity a platform. Charlie XCX created a mouthpiece for “brat,” defined as 
“someone who is confidently rebellious, unapologetically bold, and playfully defiant,” while Jools Lebron created “very demure, very mindful” to edu-tain on different personas for work and play, coming from her perspective as a trans woman. 

Two—it pays to hit the Astrological timing just right. Charlie likely planned her album release in the summer months to amplify brat behavior, culminating with her star-studded Leo birthday party. Jools hit the universal algorithm just right without any branding team behind her, riding her well-timed creation to notoriety and, perhaps most importantly, to the bank so she can fund the rest of her transition. 

You may not think about your personal brand daily, but just like manifesting, you’re exuding a vibe whether you’re conscious of it or not. You may identify more with brat vs demure and mindful, or vice versa, but the reality is that there are deliberate Astrological times to explore these personas. Whether you want to capitalize on them is up to you. 

So, as the season shifts to a more demure phase with the arrival of Virgo Season, Leo's wild, rebellious energy softens into something more graceful and composed. The focus transitions from bold, fiery spontaneity to a calm, collected presence, where subtlety and elegance take center stage. Over-the-top antics of brat summer give way to quieter confidence, emphasizing inward reflection and the power of simplicity. As we move into Virgo Season, August 22 to September 22, we’ll focus on refining goals, prioritizing our health, and paying attention to the details. Channeling Leo's confidence into productive routines, setting intentions precisely, and embracing a newfound appreciation for organization and practicality. 

The various aspects of our being that evolve throughout each season contribute to our overall identity and purpose. By aligning with the shifting energies of each phase, we support our dreams, ventures, projects, and goals by breathing new life into them. 

Plus, it’s way more fun.
