Hey, what's your sign? Your rising sign is the time of day. You were born not everybody has this information, and so if you don't know your rising sign your sun sign is awesome to listen to some people really get into listening for their Moon signs for their Venus signs. There are all different signs for all the planets in your chart and really many of the horoscopes could speak to you. So I hope you or whichever ones you listen to hello Capricorn. Welcome to Lio season Leo season begins on July 22nd. And so on August 22nd and for you Leo rules, what is called the solar eighth house? So for the Capricorn rising chart Leo is in the 8th house. If you're a Capricorn Sun person with a different rising sign make sure to also listen for your rising sign and then when you listen to this horoscope, listen from the perspective of kind of a deeper, Since of your spirit or deep Inner Essence of your being so the meaning of the 8th house in the astrological wheel is the place where I think about kind of the subtext or the deeper emotional experiences that we come into in relationship and relationship is with anybody. So other social relationships and especially lie with important other people your partner's so this includes your business partners, you're very good friends. And of course life Partners spouses this kind of thing the place where we find information about Partners in the chart is in your solar seventh house. That's the sign that cancer rules and last month. If you listen to your horoscope for Cancer season, this was a big area of focus what's going on in the partnership or Partnerships or your sense as a social being kind? How you are in the outer World a lot of kind of movement and all the personal planets over the summer kind of piling up in cancer than Leo then Virgo so last month, we had a lot of emphasis in Partnership and how things are kind of unfolding in that area of life. This could have included as well. Just your perception of yourself in the external World kind of your Social self as well as things that come up in your relationship. Oops, and the 7th house is very much an intellectual house. And so this is where we have ideas about what kinds of relationships we want to be in and where we make agreements based on those ideas. And then as we begin Leo season, there's just more and more energy now moving into your solar Eighth House and this is the place that is kind of both underneath and after and precipitating the agreements that we make in It but it's more of a subtle and sometimes subconscious emotional anchoring that then gets stimulated within our relationships. And so I think of this place often as the place of Shadow because it's where the stuff that's hard to talk about is or the stuff that's hard to see in ourselves is the Eighth House can be a place of Secrets. And shame and insecurity. It can be a place of jealousies. It can also be a place of extreme passion and eroticism and magnetism. There's a lot of power there and as all of the personal planets now start to move into your solar Eighth House beginning with the sun on July 22nd. And then later in the month Venus Mercury will also move into Leo Mars has They're so there's a lot of attention and energy in this part of your chart now and the personal planets bring our personal awareness. So we have the consciousness of this sun the articulate articulate event. Maybe that's not quite the right word the capacity for articulation that mercury brings the mental capacity Venus is bringing a softness a love nature, but also deep consideration. And appreciation and then Mars brings your motivation your will and one thing that kind of occurs to me as I'm looking at. This chart is just how much you've been going through a very deep and constant unfolding and transformation process over the last decade and of course if you're familiar with your astrology, this has a lot to do with Pluto and now Moving through your sign Pluto since 2008 Saturn since 2017 really asking you to confront the parts of yourself that are formulaic that are outdated that are rigid that are non-relational and pushing you to break down your barriers to dissolve the places where you get in your own way to confront your own misunderstanding and miscommunication. us use of power so that you can become more empowered and the sense that I get for you and Leo season is that you're going to get a whole lot of pretty immediate and quite personal understanding of all of these issues kind of how you are keeping yourself back or how you have been keeping yourself back the nature of your deeper desires deeper longing underneath all of the That Capricorn carries and sometimes doesn't even know that it's carrying. You might come into kind of a confrontation with the parts of your psyche and the parts of your being that are fucked up. They're fearful their manipulative. They are insecure they're acting from imbalanced space. And the way that you come into contact with them is through very close awareness. S so this is not something that's kind of like happening and you're feeling crazy. But you don't know why it's like you can look at it. So when I say these things might be coming up in Leo season. I don't actually think that's a bad thing. I think that it's potentially very positive thing that you're kind of getting this close up view of the ways that you have been keeping yourself back the barriers that you have to love the fear is that you have around intimacy around Leti all of this and more coming up in Leo season. So this this 8th house territory is very rich territory. It is kind of the deep wealth of the psyche and unfortunately, I think a lot of us, you know, certainly people growing up in Western cultures. I don't have that much. Clarity with Eastern cultures. I feel like there's maybe a little bit more appreciation of death as a part of life less grasping to individualism and achievement that could be my own projection, but certainly in the United States and Western Europe. There's not a lot of tools that are given for people to work with death as as a concept and kind of the non self or the letting go of personal ego. And the eighth house is a very much a place where you get to practice that so this is the house of death and death happens all the time. It's not necessarily the house of your actual death or the death of other people this season, but you may be burying some stuff this month. You may be killing some stuff this month and what you would be killing what you would be burying our old mechanism. Eames of defensiveness old grudges that you've been carrying for a long time resentments. You might be outing some secrets you might have a kind of purging purgative experience where stuff kind of Wells up and you're like, oh my god. I've been carrying around this toxic stuff for so long and now I'm going to kind of cleanse myself of it and put it to rest. So the 8th house has a very powerful energy. To it. There is a kind of thin veil between the material world and the spiritual world in the 8th house is the place of the occult and over the course of Leo season. You may be receiving quite a lot of sensation of kind of a mysterious nature your emotions may feel quite intense for anybody who's listening that has a practice around connecting connecting. To your psychic faculties Leo season has a lot of potential for you and you can really use this season to connect kind of connect your conscious awareness to your subconscious awareness and the subconscious awareness is still the ego. So it's still your insecurities your dreams your deep deep deep patterns, you know patterns that From Early Childhood even gestation, but there's still some kind of sense of self in it. So this is a really good season to do Soul retrieval work inner child process things like that as kind of emotional clearing time as well as to kind of encounter the sense of spiritual community and in just a minute as I get into talking about. The rest of the planets and what's going on? I'll mention some more about that. But there's a lot of fire in this season. Of course Leo is a fire sign Jupiter is currently in Sagittarius a fellow fire sign on the day that Leo season begins. The Moon is conjunct Chiron and Aries. And so this gives the the entire month this quite remarkable kind of passion and for you in the Capricorn soul. Chart this really links up your spiritual ancestral awareness spaces. So this is a really powerful month for you to be getting in touch with some deeper more Cosmic metaphysical vibrations. And if that's your jam spend at least some amount of this month giving yourself the space to listen in. All right, so I'm going to talk. Talk a little bit about some more notable events in the month ahead. If you want a more detailed breakdown consider subscribing to embodied astrology. You can subscribe at any amount per month and you'll get my extended forecast for Leo season, that's not by sign, but it will give you a lot of information about what's going on through the month and you can apply that to your chart. So the first thing I'll mention for the upcoming month is just What I've already mentioned is that Venus is going to move into the sign on July 27th and Venus. Will Transit Leo through August 21st. So this is a really helpful energy for you to be doing this deeper Shadow work encountering kind of aspects of your more subconscious self and bringing love into those places. This is a supportive Ally for you to be practicing self love and to allow this kind of purging that I was talking about. Out to actually be a really gentle and healing process on July 31st. There's a new moon at eight degrees of Leo. This is also the day that mercury stations direct at 24 degrees of cancer. And then it'll move back into Leo where it started its retrograde. So July 31st is a really powerful day for a new beginning and for you. This is a new beginning in this place of intimacy of vulnerability of Secrets of your kind of deep emotional self. And as mercury turns direct, it's it's turning Direct in your house. Partnerships and important relationships and you may feel that the Mercury retrograde three weeks of Mercury retrograde has really brought a lot to the surface for you in terms of what you want in Partnership what's important for you what you're wanting to agree to and use the new moon energy to kind of solidify your intent for this new cycle in this new layer of awareness that you have make sure to check in with me and bodied astrology for a new moon ritual of some sort that day as well on August 11th. Jupiter will station direct your honest will station retrograde and Mercury will move into Leo where it will Transit through August 29th. You're on a stations Direct in Sagittarius. It has been retrograde since April 10th. Sagittarius is the sign before yours. It rules the space of your unconscious. So the unconscious as opposed to the Sub Conscious subconscious still has an anchor in the ego. The unconscious is completely Eagle s so this Where we connect to the collective it is where we lose our selfhood where we remember our Oneness with all life or all manifestation and Sagittarius turns direct. There's some sense here that I get of a spiritual Readiness that since April there's been some kind of reflection period that has been happening in this very deep kind of soul level space. And now I started her as Jupiter is Being Direct in this place. It's like you're ready to move into the next phase of your life. You don't want to be held back by fear anymore. You are kind of moving forward. And for the rest of Sagittarius of Jupiter's Transit through Sagittarius. You've got a lot of support to move forward through psychic boundaries through kind of old emotional barriers and stuff like that. You're honest is turning retrograde and Taurus Taurus rules your solar fifth house. This is the place of your For energy Your vitality your joy your creativity as you're honest turns retrograde and it'll be retrograde until January of next year really devote yourself, like commit to spending these next five months really considering your joy really consider your life energy in January. There's a very powerful Transit happening in your sign. This is Saturn and Pluto coming together and on the day that they come together. You are honest will station direct and by January We 10th January 12th or so. You reach some kind of conclusion about something. It's like an awareness about yourself a cycle is over. You are ready to move into something very very new and over the course of these next five months. You're really considering how you want to use your life energy and what it is that brings you Joy like what feels like it's actually energizing actually worth getting out of bed for you're actually interested in it. And come January you're going to be ready to put more priority towards those activities that people those experiences over these upcoming five months. It's a really good time for you to recognize what does not bring you Joy and clear it out clear it out of your life as mercury moves into Leo on August 11th, as I mentioned it will Transit Leo through August 29th. This is bringing even more attention. Tune into your subconscious and with Mercury and Leo, you are really supported to articulate the the shadowy stuff insecurities again fears jealousies the kind of gnarly stuff that comes up and relationship. We're Journal about it talk to your therapist talk to friends if it's appropriate talk to your relationships about what your understanding, but you have a lot of access. You should use it this month to clarify again what it is that you really want what feels appropriate and aligns with your own energy and what you're recognizing in terms of your own patterns and habits is ready to release on August 15th. Mercury's Shadow is complete and that means that mercury is moving full steam ahead through Leo projects that you began back around the summer solstice June 21st ideas. You had then might be ready to start to move. Forward as well. This is also the day of the full moon in Aquarius and make sure to check back in with embodied astrology then again for a full moon ritual of some kind the full moon illuminates your Eight Second axis. So the full moon is in the second house of earned income of values and value systems. There may be some recognition for yourself around how you can support whatever it is. That is bringing you Joy, whatever it is that you truly desire and how As you move towards these desires this Vitality in this Joy you in turn are resource done supported on August 17th Mars moves into Virgo where it will Transit through October 4th, and then on August 21st Venus moves into Virgo where it will Transit through September 15th and soon after that the sun will follow on August 23rd as we begin Virgo season so Mars Venus and the Sun and then soon to be Mercury as well will now move into Virgo Virgo rules your solar 9th house. The ninth house is the place of High Learning High teachings pursuit of wisdom. And where you make meaning out of your life where you come into contact with your belief systems and where you seek to expand your belief systems where you seek to understand what this life is about and make meaning for yourself Mars coming into this part of your chart gives you a lot of energy to pursue a new meaning of Some kind you may be motivated to travel to take up some kind of course of study or some other initiation into what feels like an expansion of your perspective Venus coming into this part of your chart lens joy to these kinds of behaviors, you are really wanting to grow in some way. This is a really good time for you to pursue any kind of learning any kind of activity where you feel like your mind is getting blown. And as the sun follows beginning in Virgo season that just emphasizes this energy more. So it's an exciting month for you my Capricorn friend a lot to work with and if you work with it, if you are fearless and working with it, you will get through a lot, and I think this has very profound implications for your relationships as well as Your vitality and just kind of basic happiness.
