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 Lena 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 oil, whichever ones you listen to Hello, Leo, welcome to the month ahead audio for scope and forecast for Leo season, happy birthday. If it's your sun sign hello to those of you who are Leo rising or otherwise Leo Affiliated this horoscope is for you. So creating horoscopes is somewhat of a general art. There are 12 signs and nine billion people on the planet and out of all those nine billion. People there are not just 12 types. So an astrological chart is quite complex. It's a very unique it's very subtle. And when I say that Leo has something to do with your identity Please interpret that in as Broad and as symbolic away as possible for you Leo as the sign that you're identifying with either sun rising or some other planet. This is why you're listening falls in the part of the chart that has to do. With your personality your identity and your appearance identity and appearance are things that are very very personal and also in some ways not at all. So how we identify it has a lot to do with how we're positioned where we come from what we come in with our genetic traits etcetera and our bodies and our appearance of course are the vehicles that we use to move through the world and how other people perceive us. And give us back to ourselves through their perceptions is part of what forms our identity over the past month in cancer season. There's been a lot of stuff that's been going on in a place that's quite below the surface for you. And so you may have had a lot of kind of like a vague feelings kind of bubbling up. Like there may have been some erratic - in your energy or uncertainty about how you're feeling. or what you're thinking, you know that something is kind of Shifting and changing but you're not really sure what it is as we get into Leo season what starts to get emphasized is your identity these issues of positioning how you've become who you are who you are now and who you are becoming this is a natural space of inquiry for a birthday season and something that I think probably most people do when Comes to their solar return when it comes to the time that they reflect on the year passed and the upcoming future. This summer is quite a remarkable summer astrologically because all of the personal planets and when I say personal planets, I'm including Mercury Venus Mars and the sun which of course is a star not a planet, but all of these personal planets are moving together throughout the summer. They started to kind of pile up in Gemini. They're all Moving together through cancer and then in Leo season they all pile up in your science. So this is a ton of energy coming into this really kind of basic fundamental part of your being which is your identity and it's your personality. And so there's going to be a lot of emphasis on who you are and who you want to be and recognition of how you've become this person that you are the fire signs are lit up throughout this month as I just said all the personal planets. And Leo start to aspect Jupiter in Sagittarius and Chiron in Aries for you. As a fire sign person. The fire signs rule the most personal places in the chart Leo rules the identity and appearance Sagittarius rules the place in the chart that speaks to your Creative Energy Your vitality your joy your personal expression Your Enthusiasm and your childlike innocence. It's kind of your pure expressive State Aries rules your solar. 9th house. This is the place in the chart that has to do with how you make meaning out of your life. What it is that you're searching for your purpose your path what is important to you and how you're seeking to grow with all of this fire energy this month. There's quite a lot of energy just in general energy for you as a person your stimulated you're growing your inspired your intuitive. The fire signs are also making several aspects. Month to earth and water this may bring some kind of frustration or agitation or a sense of urgency. It's like you can feel yourself changing. You've got a lot of inspiration a lot of intuition, but the challenge is to somehow make it relevant applicable practical to your daily life. You're trying to figure out how to change in yourself and with your shifting circumstances. There's also a need for you to be relational. To increase your sensitivity to become more aware of your relationships and to empathize to be compassionate. So as you go through the month just know that your energy is really big and part of what you're learning this month is how to apply your energy effectively and relationally so the sun moves into your sign on July 22nd, the sun will be in Leo through August 22nd, wherever the sun is, we're bringing Attention and conciousness Leo rules the part of the body. That is the most Central the heart and the spine. Please make sure to listen to my episode on Leo. So embodied astrology for Leo season in that episode. I talk a lot about Leo as an embodied experience for all signs for all people. Just what this is as an energy as a Radiance as a magnetism or resonance and some ways To access it and to use it in its kind of exalted or most beneficial manifestation on July 31st. There is a new moon in your sign at 8 degrees of Leo. So check your chart. If you are a person with your son or other planets around 8 degrees is going to be an important new moon for you a new moon is always a time for a new beginning. There's pretty much one new moon in each sign every year and so from now. Until next year August July of 2020 you're setting intentions for these next 12 months. So again, if it's your birthday season, this is going to feel pretty natural if it's not your birthday, but your Leo Rising take some time to think about your appearance your identity who you are who you're becoming and who you want to be on the 31st Mercury also stations direct at 23 degrees of cancer as I was Talking about in the beginning of your horoscope cancer is assigned directly preceding yours and this place in your chart describes. What is unconscious but innate so it's how you got to be who you are the kind of collective experience that gave birth to you as mercury turns direct you may start to have a deeper understanding of your essence and how you want to embody what it is that you are here to resonate how Want to vibrate your personality is something that you get to grow and evolve with and how your personality expresses itself in the world, of course has a lot to do with what kind of experiences you're going to have. I think that there's some pretty clear intuition that you're able to access right now about what kinds of experiences you're drawing in. I mean this in a very complete way this includes your relationships your work your general environment. At your living situation your financial situation. What kind of person do you want to be in the world? What kind of experiences do you want to have resonate in harmony with those experiences? There's something here about the power of Attraction. What you put out is also what you call in now I say this with the caveats all of the obvious caveats towards privileged for its positioning and just life circumstances. We can't control the external world. The Law of Attraction Works through subtle vibration but it works if you are loving and kind and authentic with the people in your life, you will have good relationships. You'll have better relationships and if you're cruel or dishonest, so it's this kind of thing you're kind of having some intuitive understanding and maybe some obvious reflection on your personality and its effect and at this new moon set your intentions for what you want. Want to grow into in these next 12 months definitely check back in with me with embodied astrology on that new moon for a ritual of some kinds to work with this energy and lunar cycle. August 11th is an extremely busy day in astrology Jupiter stations direct your honest stations retrograde and Mercury moves into Leo Jupiter has been retrograde since April 10th in Sagittarius. As I mentioned before Sagittarius rules your solar fifth house. This is the Place of your Creative Energy and Your vitality a Vitality is your Basic Energy for Life. The fifth house has to do with the fifth sign which is Leo. This is how you want to express yourself what it is that you're interested in what brings you Joy Sagittarius loves to learn loves to grow Jupiter in its retrograde has been going through a process or bringing you through a process of growth and learning about your own energy and you're Of capacity, how will you want to express yourself is changing and this is a really good thing. You're learning things about your expression your learning to express yourself in ways that are benefic that bring some kind of goodness into the world that brings some kind of goodness into your life as Jupiter stations direct you are starting to prepare to expand this energy and more tangible ways for the rest of 19 you're working with ideas. But as we get into 2020 you're ready to start to get a little bit more practical or concrete and some way. So now that Jupiter is direct you may have a lot of new ideas. There may be Clarity around how you want to again like expand the meaning of your life how you want to work with your vital energy if any of you are creative types or if you have hobbies that you really love. Love or pastimes or if your parents if you're working with children, you may have understanding about how you want to make more space how you want to craft or cultivate your projects in the future and this could start to get really exciting in these next couple of months. Now the same day you're honest turns retrograde in your solar 10th house where Taurus is this is the place in your chart that I call the house of adulting it's where you seek to achieve something where you have Ambitions for manifesting in the Old you're honest is bringing a new pioneering kind of energy into this part of your chart. It entered Taurus in May and will be transiting tourists for the next seven years. You are really supported right now to do something that's different. And this is basically the thing you want to do in your vocation in your career in your adult - however, it is that you're manifesting here on the Earth plane. You are doing something that is unique. That's Innovative in some Way, maybe you're interested in experimenting. This may just be again with your personality kind of feeling like you don't want to be confined in any boxes. You really have to grow big. You have to explore something you don't want to do what everybody else is doing. You want to be yourself over the course of these next five months as you're honest is retrograde. There's some kind of reflection process that you're in around how to do this and how to do this in a way that's going to be effective meaningful and good for you aligned. Your own energy. You're honest will turn Direct on January 12th 2020, which is the same day that Saturn and Pluto formed their conjunction in Capricorn is an important astrological event for anybody who's been listening to me or paying attention to astrology all swear. All the astrologers are talking about it. So once in 36 year cycle and for you this has a lot to do with your work your work in the world for some people this will definitely be career vocation job for other people. This has more of an energetic quality kind of who you're here to be and what it is that you really think is important then that you want to achieve in this life. But as I said, these next five months are a time of reflection and a big question is how to do this thing that you want to do or these things that you want to do in a way that is uniquely you with Mercury coming into your sign where it will Transit through August. Ninth, you have the planet of communication and mental cognition capacity coming into your personality into your identity Mercury as I mentioned meets up with Venus meets up with Mars. There's a ton of energy coming out of you right now. And as we move towards the full moon on August 15th, really pay attention to the kind of reflection that you get through your relationships, especially relationships with important. Partners or important friends with all of the personal planets in your sign. You are really expressing yourself quite strongly right now and very authentically. So even if you don't necessarily feel like you're a hundred percent on your game or you might feel confused. What is coming out of you from the point of view of other people feels very honest. It's like you're able to kind of Emanate or resonate directly from your Center. And so at this time it is important for you to pay attention to the reflections that you're getting from other people. So, of course, we all have kind of funky content in our own beings and some of your relationships and their Reflections might help you to see the parts of yourself. That normally are hard to see if you get feedback. That is not a compliment. Take the time to consider it really See if you can allow whatever feedback you're getting to be a teaching absorb the symbol of it and let yourself grow and expand. This is not a time to be down on yourself necessarily but it is a really great time to grow and I do want to say you've got a lot of magnetism right now and Leo is a sign that definitely likes to be validated. So if you get compliments let them in appreciate them on August 15. This is also the day that Curious Shadow is complete. So I talked about Mercury retrograde a few minutes ago with Mercury Shadow being complete you are supported to move forward with your plans. Now, we're out of that retrograde energy and projects that we want to begin or things that were wanting to continue our able to easily move forward at this point on August 17th, Mars moves into Virgo where it will Transit through October 4th on August 21st Venus moves. Into Virgo where it will Transit through September 15th, then on August 23rd, we start Virgo season the sun moves into that sign and on August 29th, Mercury will move into Virgo. So now we have all of the personal planets. We have Mars is energy action orientation force and drive Venus's benefit quality. Its beauty its Grace its magnetism. The sun's conscious awareness and Mercury's capacity for thinking Seeing hearing listening articulating and exchange coming into the part of your chart that sustains you so the sign that comes after yours helps you to sustain this is where we find information about your self-esteem your value systems how you support yourself how you support your sense of self? This includes basic nourishment like food, it also includes money and earned income. So as all the personal That's come into this part of your chart. You get a lot of momentum again towards something that is more practical that's tangible the Earth signs start to work together and the previous Transit side mentioned you're honest and Taurus and Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn now start to get really stimulated. You've got a lot of energy for some kind of project at this point. You're working hard to concretize something or to Lies something so throughout the course of this month.
