Shine bright: Embracing your visibility during Leo season

It’s that time of year again and I’m beyond excited. Hello, Leo season.

As a radically authentic photographer and storyteller, I find endless inspiration in the rhythms and energies of the natural world. And as an Aries, I am always energised by fire sign seasons. Ruled by fire and the Sun, Leo season is a celebration of life itself, which means the next four weeks are a time to connect to your core essence and remember what you love about life. 

It’s a season which brings a unique opportunity to embrace passions and creativity. The vibrant energy of Leo encourages us to step into our visibility, showcasing our talents and our true selves. So let the warmth of the sun and fire within fuel your spirit as you ignite your ambitions. Keep reading to explore how you can make the most of Leo energies to embrace your own visibility.  

Embracing visibility in Leo season


1. let your work shine

Now is the time to let your work shine. Give it space and a spotlight to shine and showcase how awesome you are! You could share stories from behind your business, including moments of connection and transformation with your clients or customers.  


2. it’s a time to connect

How can you engage more deeply with your audience? Think about different ways you can do this. Maybe you could try something new? Could you host a live workshop, where you share your experiences? Authenticity and openness (about what worked well and what didn’t) creates connection and loyalty.


3. collaboration is where the magick happens

Use the energies of the season to collaborate with other creatives – joint projects or collaborations can amplify your visibility and create exciting new opportunities. Don’t be afraid to get in touch and make the ask, whether that’s to be on someone’s podcast or host a joint event.

4. push your creative boundaries

Allow the fiery energy of Leo and the spirit of summer to take you to some wild edges. Experiment with something new, like taking part in a brand shoot, bringing to life a new offering. This is the perfect time to take creative risks and see where they lead.

5. connect with your purpose

Spend time reflecting on what makes you passionate about your work. What drives you to do what you do? Understanding your motivations can strengthen your work and your sense of purpose.

6. you are worthy – affirm your worth

Embrace the belief you and your work is valuable and you deserve to be seen. Self-approval is a crucial step toward confidence and visibility. Celebrate your achievements and milestones, no matter how small they may seem.

7. embrace your vulnerability

Sharing your work and your creative journey openly can be daunting, but it also builds genuine connections. It shows you’re human and this is what connects with people. We like to see the messy, the wild, the flawed, the lessons learnt. Not just the shiny outcome. Show the world your process, your struggles, and your triumphs. This vulnerability is a true mark of leadership and will inspire others.

8. find the joy in the every day

Find joy in the everyday moments and let this joy infuse your work. Leo season is a reminder to enjoy life. Love the world fiercely and it will love you back just as loud. 

9. reconnect with nature

Spend time outdoors, immerse yourself in natural beauty and let it inspire your work. This connection to nature will not only ground, it will rejuvenate your spirit and spark new creative ideas.

Let the energy of Leo season guide you to step into your visibility, embrace your authenticity and celebrate the life you love. Use this time to shine brightly, knowing that your unique perspective and creativity are gifts to be shared.

Remember, my loves, the only approval you need is your own. Leo season is a powerful reminder that true leadership requires vulnerability and authenticity. 

If you’re ready to step into your visibility this season, I have availability for half day and full day shoots. Email hello@rebeccadouglas.com and let’s connect.

About me

Hey my love, I’m Rebecca, a visual storyteller, unleashing the power of photo and video to rewilding our connection to nature.


By illuminating the liminal space where myth, magick and intellect meet, we ignite collective curiosity, enchantment and awe to empower the healing of people and planet.

My work as a photographer and ocean storyteller has taken me from the wild coasts of Scotland to the wild edges of Iceland.

It was with immense gratitude and a sense of deepening purpose that a story I captured gain 2nd Place in the Conservation (Impact) category for Ocean Photographer of the Year 2024.

As President of the Board of Trustees for Whale Wise and a Marine Mammal Medic with BDMLR, I advocate for our blue planet through powerful visuals and purpose-driven narratives.

Together, let’s embrace the wild edges where of people, place, and planet meet.
