Requiem #2254 conjunct the Sun at Leo 23° on August 15 brings endings that are not simply circumstantial but soul-deep. Requiem is the funeral hymn, the closing ceremony, the point at which something’s chapter is sealed for good. When it meets the Sun, the center of identity, will, and vitality, the ending is not just external. It strips away layers of self you thought were permanent. In Leo, this happens where pride, visibility, and self-expression live. It can feel like an ego death that burns away the performance, the title, or the persona you have leaned on. What is left is raw and unadorned, asking you to rebuild from a truer place. It is not about shrinking. It is about no longer playing a role that has expired.

This moment also echoes the Leo Full Moon at 22° on August 2, 2025, which already began unraveling the illusions and attachments around self-image. That lunation may have exposed cracks in the way you have sought recognition, or highlighted where external approval was steering your choices. Requiem’s meeting with the Sun carries that story forward, pushing the transformation from awareness into finality. If the Full Moon was the spotlight revealing the costume, this is the curtain drop and the stage going dark. The ego death here is not punishment. It is permission to release what is false so you can step into a life that does not require constant performance to feel real.

What house is Leo 23° for you? Can you identify where the ego’s are dying in your storylines? They’re there, I promise.
