Five of Wands & Leo Season (July 2025)

Megan Lynn Kott's Cat Tarot

Greetings Friends,

The season of the cat has arrived!  This month, take a note from our feline kin about self care. Lay in the sun when you want to, take a bath, swat away whatever is getting in your personal space. Make the weirdest things into a game. It's Leo Season, and you deserve to enjoy it! The first decan of Leo relates to the Five of Wands in the tarot, a card that can evoke both fiery chaos and wildly good times (have you met a Leo?). In readings, the Five of Wands often represents a situation where the landscape is being remade, whether through creating a new work of art or  competing to see who has the most toys (in some decks, Five of Wands is depicted as a volcano)!

In Megan Lynn Kott's delightfully playful Cat Tarot, we see two kittens playing with a pile of toys. It's fun, it's chaotic - is it too many toys? Is it just the right amount? Are they playing or are they fighting? Is someone gonna get bit?! These are all fair questions with Five of Wands energy, which can be overwhelming. So let this be a reminder to be kind to yourself through the fiery transformations in your life, something heart-led Leo's know a lot about. If the heat gets to be too much, take a break and have a cat nap. When it comes to creativity, sometimes surrendering to the process is the only way forward.

With love and warmth,

Lisa
