Leo In the sequential development of the zodiac, each new sign that is introduced both includes the consciousness of the predecessor, while at the same time, it reacts against the predecessor. This is what keeps the astrological wheel in motion. Cancer's deeply-rooted ability to plummet the depths of its psyche gives rise to the intense self-awareness of Leo and Leo, in turn, reacts against its predecessor's homebody tendencies with a tremendous desire to impress its signature upon the world.
No sign is as generous or as loyal as this one. When Leos love you, they will give and give and then give some more, as long as you keep loving them back. When they decide you are no longer worth their time or you do not show your adoration sufficiently, their nose goes up in the air and you are excommunicated from Planet Leo. Perhaps in another life, these souls were coerced into a subordinate role. Now they return to settle the score and to make sure that they are the ones in charge and don't you forget it.'
No sign craves admiration more than Leo. They do not just walk into a room; they make an entrance. When they have something to say, they draw attention to themselves just by the way they put their ideas across. Leos seldom follow the crowd; rather they stand out within it. No matter what their work in the world is, all Leos are in the entertainment business.
The sign of Leo represents the human heart and the warmth that exudes from every pore of individuals whose charts emphasize this sign can turn a lackluster reality into a celebration of life. It is hard not to appreciate Leo because no one works as hard to earn appreciation. Leos are living embodiments of the best and the worst elements of the human ego. Still, they have the choice of either showing what a wonderful tool the ego is in rising above mediocrity or what an impediment it can be in expressing one's humanity.
The Sun enters the Leo sky on July 22 through August 21
Forecast for all the signsAries: While you dig for new ideas to pump up the volume in your professional activities, you may be too contained to realize the results you would like to see materialize. If you analyze your circumstances, you may discover that the most you can do right now is wait and see what happens. 'Wait and see' is not ordinarily your style, but when you are unsure; it is a viable strategy. What you do not want is to be stashed away in some obscure corner of the universe. Over the counter sales are not for you. Father Time is asking you to upgrade your patterns and turn in a better than average performance. Once you do, watch others take notice and begin making you offers you cannot refuse.
Taurus: Life does not seem to be all that much fun these days. Financial difficulties hit you harder, Taurus, than most of the other signs because you are so focused on the subject. Above all, Taurus identifies with what it has on hand. When the numbers begin to fall and the minus column exceeds the plus one, all hell breaks loose in your life. Instead of bemoaning the wealth that is flowing down the drain, be resourceful and seize every opportunity to recoup. Shift your awareness from expecting everything to be safe and dependable to taking advantage of a crisis and making some fantastic deals. No matter what condition the world is in, some of us gain and some of us lose. Make sure you are part of the first group. You can count on that, if you are willing to give it your all.
Gemini: You are eager to connect with others and let them know what you want. You would like to juice up the current that is moving us all forward in life. This is an excellent period to buy and to sell. If you do not close a deal one way, you can soon figure out another. Who can keep up with your mercurial mind? Not even you can. The secret of your success can be summed up in two words--adaptability and flexibility. Keep throwing stuff against the wall; hopefully something will stick. So come up with some new ways of approaching the matter. Your clever mind will determine soon enough if you are on to something and from there, you cannot miss.
Cancer: It would work well if you simply enjoy what is coming to you without attempting to control it in any way. Besides, you are not the one who is in control. Life can only be transformed in the present moment, so living in the past is no place to hang out for a creative person such as you. You may cross paths with some interesting folks who remind you of that and who in some way support you in moving onward and upward instead of stagnating in yesterday's scenario. For someone who is sensitive to the changes that are in the air, it is foolish to resist the revolution that is taking place all around you. There is no need to fear the unknown; it is the known that is scaring the hell out of people. Free yourself from the source of your fears and awaken to the news that things are better than they seem once you have acquired a fearless sense of self.
Leo: Once you begin to give your attention to a project, your fantasies climb all the way to the stars. Your talent for drama is considerable and you are not above making things better than they are or worse than they are. Once again, you have the brilliant ideas, yet you lack the funds to bring your dreams into manifestation. You of all the signs, Leo, want a horn of plenty to sustain a lavish lifestyle. Of course your extravagant tendencies can show up in various ways. On the bright side, it can make you want to take your generosity to the limit and share whatever you have with those less fortunate. Instead of thinking of being supported, think of supporting. Instead of letting frustration get the best of you; take a risk and insist on doing what must be done.
Virgo: Every where you turn these days, there seems to be a source of irritation to contend with and your buttons are being pushed. That will stop when you soothe those anxious feelings of yours. It is true that it is unwise to put anything past anyone because you never know what someone else might do. You would rather that the people currently in your movie would grow up and realize we are all in this together. A more cooperative spirit may in fact become apparent in the world soon to come, as this will be necessary to rise up to the many challenges ahead. Just realize that as most individuals dissolve into a collective matrix and lose personal identity in the assimilation process, the world is becoming what it has to become to survive. Beings that are more knowing because they are more connected are excellent guardians that are available to everybody to lead us toward our destiny, which is part of the Earth's destiny as well.
Libra: It would be a waste of time to focus on work these days (that is the work they are paying you for) and it is much more in your favor to focus on the work they are not paying you for. Rather than make yourself wrong (not even five seconds of that is allowed right now), see how you can make something more right. That means leaving it in better condition than it was before you came along. Then take that principle and apply it as much as possible to every moment of your life. As the Sun this month moves into the Leo sky, it is moving through your solar eleventh house--the humanitarian house in the chart. It is asking for you to step up and perform a service to your friends--old and new. Your interactions with them could grant an invisible seal of approval for some of your best ideas ever, which you would like to see reinforced. If people you know offer to contribute some energy that would help to make use of these ideas and put them into practice, that would make this period of time a chance to be better than ever.
Scorpio: All sorts of ideas and messages are running through your mind and you may feel unsure (although you will never admit it.) Best-case scenario--you stay home during this period and retreat into a world in which you immersed in magical spiritual energy. Worst-case scenario--you are taken over by an intensely felt ego-obsession to impose your truth upon the world and with the stroke of your hand manipulate every one you know to do what you think they should do. If you would not take offense to one small suggestion, do the best-case script as soon as possible for as long as possible and then do the worst-case one and you may be astonished to discover that your ego-obsession has been transformed into pure love.
Sagittarius: Your energy is stretching outward and everyone is enjoying their conversations with you. Your homespun wisdom is infectious and it sets people's minds in fast mode. Your mission is to raise the vibration every time you walk through the door. You are the paragon of virtue that others can easily look up to and admire. The thing is you also want to have fun in life. Part saint, part satyr or slut, you are torn between heaven and hell and it is a damn shame because you enjoy both movies. You want the excitement of hell (without the murky darkness) and the bliss of heaven. Did it ever occur to you how demanding you can be? The world loves high spirits, Sag, but not high-maintenance.
Capricorn: This is definitely a time to become re-acquainted with the person who is the love of your life. Take time out to ponder the mysteries of the universe with them and while you are at it, get in a few really good back rubs. Merge the ethereal bliss of a never, never land as you lie cradled in the arms of your beloved (or whomever is getting your love this week.) You may be making some changes either right now or real soon in regard to your work. The day job involves a great deal of communication, so rest your voice and let your body language take over in the nighttime. Keep the home fires burning and your hormones raging.
Aquarius: If you are fortunate to be in a romantic relationship, you and your partner are in for a good time. Once in a while, it is ok to party and to let your hair down, doing wild and crazy (but harmless) things that you would not ordinarily do. It is part of your training to become a real human being rather than a slave. Your enslavement might be to a routine that you diligently follow to maintain self-discipline. Still, your work and your entire life for that matter could use an adjustment. Just as our skeletal structure can fall out of alignment, so can our psychic structure. Let others take care of you a little bit for a while. You deserve it and it will do you a world of good.
Pisces: You have ideas that you believe could get you into trouble. What you may not be as aware of is the cosmic assistance that follows you wherever you go. Angelic presences float over your head and shine their light upon you. You bathe in the glorious healing rays of the universe and you have the psychic equipment to transmit powerful energies that few are able to channel. You are bound to take relationships very seriously in the month to come, whether you are interacting with one person or with a whole congregation. Either way, the others are waiting for you to say the first words because you may be the only one that really know what those words are.
