Week of July 22
The sun enters Leo on July 22 — Follow your heart!
Leo season can be a period of joy and abundance; creativity, romance, and celebration abound! Leo rules the heart, and the sun in Leo asks us: what makes your heart sing? What brings you happiness? It’s time to reorient ourselves toward joy, love, and laughter.
Your creativity and talents could shine, and this could be an exciting time to step on stage and receive attention for your creativity. Whether you’re traveling, falling in love, or focusing on career goals, the sun in Leo bodes well for happiness and success.
The sun in Leo opposes Pluto in Aquarius on July 23 — Set boundaries.
An epic ego clash could take place. A power struggle could ensue. Clinging to the past, to control, to power could spell great difficulty. The best way to work with this intense alignment is to accept life’s unknowns, embrace change, let go of the past and invite transformation. We might catch on to someone’s bad behavior at this time, and secrets could be revealed. This is as good a time as any to set big boundaries with folks who are sneaky, shady, manipulative, or jealous. Healthy relationships could undergo deep transformations during this period. Deep, vulnerable, raw, real discussions could take place.
Mercury enters Virgo on July 25 — Details worked out?
Mercury in Leo had grand plans, and Mercury in Virgo would sort out the details to ensure the dream became a reality. Someone who had been quite stubborn recently might become more flexible. Even the know-it-alls among us might become more curious and humble. The mood is chatty but thoughtful. Mercury in Virgo values precision and clarity.
A Mercury retrograde is coming up on August 4, 2024, and it’s possible that some of the conversations that take place now could come up for review during the retrograde period. Mercury in Virgo loves to edit and refine things, so while Mercury retrograde has a reputation for slowing things down, this could be a productive period to rework things. Details could be worked out… perhaps more than once, thanks to the upcoming retrograde!
The sun in Leo sextiles Mars in Gemini on July 25 — Courage and confidence.
The sun symbolizes vitality, and Mars is the planet of strength. A happy alignment between these two planets spells courage, confidence… and fun! In Leo and Gemini, the mood is very convivial; a fantastic celebration could take place, or maybe you’ll have a slam dunk during a negotiation. This could be an effective period for communication and collaboration, and people might be in a very helpful, generous mood. Accomplishing goals, letting something go, or wrapping something up could come easily.
