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 Taurus. Thank you for listening. This is your audio horoscope and month ahead for Leo season Leo season begins on July 22nd. It ends on August 20 seconds. And in the Taurus solar chart Leo rules the fourth house. The fourth house is the place that describes home family lineage ancestry tribe and kind of in general a sense of the Me belonging isn't always comfortable. I have to say there's definitely the sense that you are claimed in this part of your chart. So the place that you come from or the people that you come from might actually be a place or people that caused some friction or tension for you, but there is a familiarity and the sense of home is a familiar Place, although sometimes we really want to get out of it. So this placement chart is an anchor. It's a sense. Of familiarity a sense of belonging. It's also where you Retreat to when you want to come home and what that means as a metaphor as an idea as well as an actual space. So as we head into Leo season the son of course moves into this part of your chart and it meets up with Mars and throughout the month. The personal planets will be moving into Leo Mercury and Venus are following the sun and a couple of weeks. This brings a lot of energy into this party. Your chart and this Energy starts to work in in unison with the other fire signs So currently Jupiter is in Sagittarius. And Chiron is an Aries and all of these placements are working with one another to form what's called a grand fire Trine and a grand Trine is when all three signs of the same element have planetary energy that is working together again, so there is a kind of sense of ease. And movement, but also sometimes like an unconsciousness like we don't really control this energy. It just happens in the fire parts of your chart. We have the fourth house, which I just talked about the 8th house. So for you, this is Sagittarius is home. The 8th house has to do with very private matters. This is your deep kind of personal emotional space. It's often where we hold back where we keep secrets where we have Experiences that are reserved either for ourselves or for people who we share intimacy with. This is a placement chart where we uncover intimacy's vulnerabilities and securities and where we form close emotional bonds with others. So this is a kind of deep intense place in our emotional nature Aries is the sign that directly proceeds yours and Aries. Therefore rules the place of your unconscious the unconscious includes the of Consciousness. These are the influences what's happening culturally in our kind of Greater emotional whole the environment that's always shifting and responding to everyone and everything in it. You may not really be aware of how you're influenced but your influence nonetheless. This is also the place of your dream space of your ancestral material. So the ways that your DNA has been In form to your epigenetics and your biases and things like this fire trying in this in these parts of your chart bring a lot of movement. There is a lot of potential throughout Leo season for you to work with kind of core issues. These are all places in the chart that describe core issues your foundation your kind of deep emotional experience and your psychology the Deep inner. Ecology throughout the month fire energy is in aspect to earth and water energy fire energy likes to move out and up earth and water want to move down and in the aspects that are being formed are what's called hard aspects squares and in conjuncts, these aspects can bring frustration. They can bring challenge, but when you meet them with good faith when you meet them with the desire to grow and the desire to expand You're actually strengthened and fire is very served by earth and water in the sense that it gets grounded and it becomes more relational and more emotional. So I want to offer this just as kind of a general note for the upcoming season. There may be a lot of stuff that comes up there could be a lot of content for you to be working through this month, but you have support for it and keep your optimism around you just kind of consider that That even in a moment of challenge, there's always the best benefit outcome. There's always something that could come from this that maybe there's a reason there's an evolutionary step forward or something even better that could happen because of the thing that's happening. Now, that doesn't feel awesome and you've had plenty of these experiences. I'm sure where you look back and you go. Oh that period of time was challenged, but actually it really Important and I'm glad that it happened. So Leo season won't be entirely like that. I don't think but there may be moments of Challenge and of you being confronted in ways that feel provocative that feel deeply personal but also these are doorways for you. These are doorways of transformation and growth as I mentioned the sun moves into Leo on July 22nd this brings your awareness into the place of Home Family Security room. Goodness on July 27th, the planet Venus moves into Leo wherever Venus is Venus is bringing sweetness magnetism and the sense of importance and value as a Venus moves into Leo and it will Transit Leo through August 21st. You may be quite nostalgic happy to connect with family feeling a lot of close bonds and love for home. Our family, this is a really good time to connect with people. This is a great time to take care of your home's great time to be at home. Leo's a pretty social science. So it's a really nice time to invite people over Venus definitely likes to feed people and likes to impress them with beautiful things. So if you want to have a party you want to make someone dinner. This is a really nice time to kind of just open up in your personal space and connect to the people who are there on July 31st. There's a new moon in Leo. New moon is always a great time to initiate a new beginning and to set intentions for the next 12 months cycle from this new moon and Leo to the new moon in 2020. Again, Leo rules the part of your chart that has to do with a sense of belonging Leo is a sign that is really authentic. That is truly. I think that the strength of Leo that it rules the central channel of our body it rules our heart. When we are authentic, we are courageous. We risk not being the thing that other people want us to be we have to take a step forward to allow ourselves to really shine to take up some space but Leo's also incredibly generous as a sign so you might think about how you occupy space just in general how you relate to feelings of belonging of comfort of security. Where in your life, do you? Do you shy away and hold back? Where in your life do you feel like you can just rest into a sense of belonging at this new moon consider setting an intention for these sensations of belonging of home? And anchor how do you want to be yourself? Most profoundly most effectively and most brilliantly and how can this be an experience and Sensation that is not only in the places where you feel the most safe, but actually Is out into other spaces as well on July 31st. This is also the day that mercury stations direct will be finishing its retrograde cycle closer to the end of Leo season and Mercury stations direct can be a kind of wonky time. So just be careful around the 31st the end of the month things tend to get a little Haywire on the days of mercury station, but as mercury starts to move direct, this is a symbol. Love you coming into some kind of Greater awareness and emotional Clarity for these issues around stability and bonds Mercury turned retrograde in the sign of Leo and it moved back into cancer this stimulates your solar V, excuse me, your solar fourth and third houses Leo and Cancer for you rule the the fourth and the third so the fourth house again home bonding stability. The third house has to do with your Communications. I'll and kind of your general mental openness how responsive you are to new ideas how willing you are to express yourself cancer is a pretty emotional sign. There's something that I feel like you may be understanding about your own needs and how you communicate your needs and how this in turn affects your sense of belonging or stability as mercury turns direct you may be ready to have certain kinds of conversations or make other Other changes or adjustments or Outreach so that you can meet your needs in the way that you recognizing you need. This is the day of the new moon embodied astrology is available to you on the new moon. I will put out some kind of meditation or ritual to work with this lunar energy. So, please remember to check in with me then on August 11th Jupiter turns Direct in the sign of Sagittarius Jupiter has been retrograde since April 10th as I mentioned before. Is rules the part of your chart that has to do with vulnerability and intimacy. This is your deeper emotional experience since April. You may have been investigating these kinds of themes for yourself. The eighth house is also a place where we come into a shared experience with intimate others with people who mean something to you where there is dependency or trust, you know to really trust or to open up to someone is quite a vulnerable experience and since April you may have been having some kind of growth process with these areas. How can you trust how can you open up? What do you need in these spaces? How do you want to work with your own sense of privacy or secrecy when you are really seeing when you allow yourself to be seen what's that like for you Jupiter is wanting you to grow its wanting you to In your own experience of what's possible. It's also wanting to teach you to occupy yourself and to occupy your uprightness your benefic energy and your generosity. This is another kind of message that I'm seeing in your in your chart that you're really ready to open a new way to communicate around things that previously may have been hard to communicate and that your understanding something about your deeper psychology, August 11th is also the day that you're honest stations retrograde. And in your sign as you have undoubtedly heard me talk about many times. If you are a regular listener, you're honest has been in your sign since this spring since May and spent some time last year kind of inching its way in and then going into a retrograde but this is about a seven year cycle of your honest through Taurus. And this is a really important cycle for you your honest brings change Revolution Innovation and Canning, sometimes it's effect can feel really sudden chaotic or even shocking or traumatizing ultimately what it wants for you is freedom and Liberation as you run a stations retrograde you are coming into a five-month period of time when you may really need to look at certain aspects of your personality how you've identified. This is a really big theme for the solar first house which of course as a Taurus Taurus Rising then this is your solar first house this place of identity. So think about how your identity has formed what you mean when you say I me or mine, how can you interrogate those assumptions? And what has been built up around your identity in what ways do you want to grow? How does your identity want to manifest in? Ways right now? Can you innovate? Can you expand? Can you let go of what's holding you back in January? Your Otis will station Direct on January 12th on the same day that Saturn and Pluto form their conjunction in Capricorn again, if you're a regular astrology follower, he a listener, you've definitely heard about this. So Saturn and Pluto will be coming together in January in your 9th House of high wisdom purpose and path over the course of the next five months. This is a Ali big theme for you, you're thinking about what you're here to do on this planet and why why are you going to be doing the things that you're doing? Because they're important to you. Who are you? This is the line of questioning as you kind of reach into yourself knowing yourself identification, you get clarity around your path you get clarity around your purpose now is a time to be really uniquely yourself and to spend a fair amount. Time and reflection uncovering who that self is what that self wants and how that self can really be supported to grow and involve also on August 11th Mercury moves back into Leo it will Transit through Leo until the end of August August 29th mercury in Leo brings your communicative capacity to the sun. This is a really good time to express yourself to the people who you live with to your family, too. To your loved ones, if you're a person who has a strong connection to land or home as a physical space you may have a lot of awareness of your connections to the land or to your home and you may have ideas about how you want to participate and update innovate or express yourself or just generally care here on August 15th. There's a full moon at 22 degrees of Aquarius a full moon is always an Position the sun is in Leo. The Moon is in Aquarius the stimulates, of course Leo your solar fourth house home family bonding security and then Aquarius your solar 10th house. This is the place in the chart that has to do with your ambition in the world. So this probably makes sense where you're planted determines how you grow where you come from has a lot to do with what you become in the world the solar 10th house as the place. That expresses your Public Image your career your vocation and how you do your adult. Nastas in the world. Is this kind of reflection so around the full moon. You may come into some kind of understanding about who you want to be in the world. Again. There's a lot of energy this month about what you're here doing in the world. So what does that actually look like? What are you here to manifest? What do you want to achieve? This is also the day that Mercury's Shadow completes. And so this is a great day to start to move forward. On any projects or plans that have been held up over the last six weeks or so since Mercury began its retrograde cycle all the way back at the summer solstice on June 21st. So just think back on this period of time and consider any ideas that you've had any new projects that you want to move forward with anything that's still present that still feels like a desire you're supported now to continue on August 17th, the planet Mars moves into Virgo Mars. All transit Virgo through October 4th and on August 21st, your ruling planet Venus also moves into Virgo Venus will move through Virgo in Tulsa. Just a couple of days after Mars and Venus enter the sun follows suit on the 23rd. And as I mentioned Mercury will move into Virgo on August 29th. So this is bringing a lot of energy now into a fellow Earth sign for you Virgo rules, the solar fifth House of Creative Energy childlike innocence Joy personal authentic expression and romance and play time if that sounds familiar, it's because the fifth house has to do with the fifth sign. Which is Leo I was already talking a little bit about Leo nature as a Taurus Rising person. This Leo nature is really what you want at home. Taurus is assignment loves to be home and home is a place where Joy can happen for you as all the personal planets move into Virgo. We have a lot more energy for you to start creating to start recognizing how your vital energy can best Express out into the world. You may get really inspired around this time. Your creative projects if you're a person who's working with children or who has children of your own you may really have a good time with them throughout the end of Leo season and Virgo season this year.
