So I hope you oil, whichever ones you listen to Hello Aries, welcome to your month ahead forecast and audio horoscope for Leo season, Leo season begins July 22nd. It ends on August 22nd. And Leo is a fellow fire sign. It is the fifth sign in the Zodiac. Yours is the first sign in the Zodiac and so for the area solar chart Leo rules the fifth house and the fifth house is a really fun place. Leo is a really fun sign. So this energy for you describes basic Vitality. First of all, this is your life energy. It's your Chi it's how you express yourself how you are a radiant being the energy which emanates out from you is described by this place in your chart. We always ruled by the Sun and so when the sun is in this season and stimulating this part of your solar chart, it stimulates your central Channel and and you can think of Leo energy as the internal sun and of course in our solar system the sun is the center of that system. And so this energy is at your Center and your Center is a vital place and this is something that you will probably be kind of feeling and focusing on over the course of the next 30 days just sensing into your own Vitality into your own energy. Some of you may be sensing the impending. Commence to Your vitality and energy and others of you may be sensing the enthusiasm or the expansiveness of this kind of energy as the sun moves into Leo. It's meeting up with the planet Mars Mars is your ruling planet. So wherever Mars is that says something about what your energy is doing and as the sun and Mars are both in this place in your chart. You are really supported in your energy and in Your vitality some of you may have more Big bombastic potentially confrontational energy is getting stimulated as you'll hear if you listen to the embodied astrology for Leo season, the more General podcast where I talk a lot about Leo and what's happening with Leo right? Now Leo can be an energy that expresses itself kind of without consideration for the group and I'm sure you've heard a lot about Aries and Aries kind of Martian or Marsden. Energy, which can also be somewhat non-relational and self-focused. So there is a potential that you might just want to kind of keep a check on your energy and particularly on the effect of your energy with the larger world, but honestly the aspects that planets and Leo are forming over the course of the next month. I think you are really learning something about your energy. This is more likely you're learning about about your energy your learning how to fix other people you're learning how to protect it and preserve it and use it's completely and that feels like the bigger lesson right now. So in brief Leo season for you stimulates your creative Center, this is your kind of inner child energy your childlike innocence your joy your desire for fun and friends and playfulness. This is a really good time of year. To give yourself time to indulge whatever it is that makes you happy and brings a smile to your face. This is a great time of year for you to feel sexy and playful and fun and interesting and to get together with people who stimulate those Sensations for you Leo energy is quite exciting and there's a lot going on in the fire signs right now. There is the movement of Sagittarius. Excuse me the movement of Jupiter through Sagittarius all year all of 2019 and as you've heard me talk about if you check in with embodied astrology regularly Chiron has entered your sign this year and it will be there for about eight years and what I make out of this is a lot of healing potential a lot of healing energy for you as an individual person living in a collective experience living within the environment of The world right now and all the people in it and some kind of evolutionary process that you're in right now around understanding a deeper meaning for your unique energy and also understanding how when you are accessing what is right at your Center. And again, this is a sense of Vitality and enthusiasm and some kind of very unique and personal expression that you have when you're accessing that place in yourself. Cough in more of an unbridled kind of courageous way. You actually get great results in the world. So please make sure to check in with embodied astrology for Leo season to get more information on Leo as an energy. And then if you are a subscriber, you'll get an expanded forecast for the month ahead. It's not signed specific, but I'm going to talk a lot about all of the transits throughout the month of the lunar cycles and kind of how to work with them. And this is valuable information for you. If you're a person who finds value working with astrology now, let's talk a little bit about what's coming up in this month ahead. So as I mentioned there's a lot of fire in the chart. There's a grand fire Trine between the the sun in Leo Mars and Leo Chiron and Aries and Jupiter in Sagittarius. This is stimulating the parts of your chart that are very personal your identity your self-expression your joy and the meaning you make out of life and your Sense of purpose in it right now. These topics are getting fired up with all of this energy. They're getting energized throughout the course of the month. The fire signs are making aspects to earth and water and part of what this means is that your passion and your enthusiasm gets support by being pragmatic grounded practical and relational emotional kind of sensing in again with how you're impacting the world around you and how the world around you. See you these aspects however between fire and earth and water are sometimes a little frustrating fire energy wants to be big and expansive earth and water energy are more internal interior and downward moving their more grounding and relational. So there may be some kind of tests for your energy this month, but if you can kind of just respond to them with a sense It's of growth-oriented optimism. I think you move through them quite easily. So as we move into the month on July 27th, there's going to start to be a movement of the personal planets also into Leo the sun moves in on the 22nd and then on July 27th Venus moves into Leo and Venus. Will Transit through the sign until August 21st, wherever Venus is we have a sense of Love Harmony Beauty and value Venus is bringing it's benefic energy into this part of your chart that has to do with your sense of playfulness your innocence your joy the more that you kind of give yourself experiences where you can authentically express yourself where you can be in your playful expression not trying to prove anything to anybody but just being yourself being your lovely self smiling playing then the more attractive you become to the world around you and the more you have other people kind of join you in that playful place then the happier you Um, and this kind of has a mirror effect, right? So you become sweeter and then your sweetness magnetizes attention towards you on July 4 31st will have a new moon at 8 degrees of Leo a new moon is always a great time to set a new intention one new moon in Leo to the next new moon in Leo takes a year. So this is a great time to think about your intentions for the upcoming year in this part of your chart in this part of your life. And Your vitality your joy Your Enthusiasm your sense of playfulness and your Creative Energy. How do you express yourself? Creatively? That means honestly, how do you give from your heart and from your Center? This is also the day that mercury turns direct. So it's starting to conclude its retrograde cycle Mercury is turning Direct in the late degrees of cancer for you cancer rules the place in the chart that has to do with home and family and mercury has entered. Into this place after turning retrograde in Leo. So there's some kind of message here about your basic Safety and Security in the world and the people are the connections around you that allow you to express in this enthusiastic playful kind of more childlike way. There may be some recognition that you've had over the last couple of weeks during Mercury retrograde about basic needs that you have for emotional security. You may be under Standing something now about your bonding style and this is important especially with friends with lovers with other people that you might really be wanting to express yourself authentically and find that sense of playful Joy with and as mercury starts to turn into its direct motion and move back into Leo. I think you're ready to really re-engage with some kind of process around your own self-expression. Now that you understand what your emotional needs are. It's up. To you to communicate of course what these needs are and that might be a little bit murky for a couple of weeks. There's a lot going on in the water signs. There's a lot going on in your unconscious spaces. As long as you really make the intention to communicate in the moment to check in with your own energy to be mindful about how you're communicating to speak from your heart. I think you're going to do a great job with it think back to June 21st. This is when Mercury Gannets retrograde cycle and just take note of any importance kind of observations ideas plans you had in these last couple of weeks start to feel into them now and just a couple of weeks as mercury leaves its shadow. You're going to be ready to start acting on these sentiments on August 11th. Jupiter turns direct Jupiter has been retrograde since April 10th. As I mentioned before Jupiter is in Sagittarius. This is another fire sign for are you Sagittarius rules the solar ninth house? This is the place of high wisdom. Hi teachings. And important ideas and belief systems that have a lot to do with your path in life your purpose in life. And the meaning you make out of life why you're here what you're here to do as Jupiter turns direct you may feel greater Clarity moving forward with projects or ideas that have to do with your sense of path with your sense of purpose. As I mentioned at the beginning. There is a grand fire Trine throughout the month if not directly. Bye or by aspect if you're an astrologer and watching aspects Chiron is at the beginning of Aries. So the grand fire Trine may not be exact by aspect. But all of the fire signs are very stimulated throughout the month and this gives me the feeling that you're just moving really steadily into something that feels more and more like you you're not trying to be anybody that you're not you're letting go of belief systems and ideas that are constructed either societally through family kind of influences or from your past self old ideas that are no longer interesting to you and you're really interested in growing into who you are in a very honest way. So as Jupiter turns direct your ideas start to move forwards. You are more supported now to express yourself particularly. If you are pursuing any kind of academic projects any writing projects publishing those of you who are either teachers or learning who are students if you're really in a place of trying to kind of come into like a belief system a thought system a philosophy for yourself over the last couple of months. There's been some kind of consideration about what this really means for you and now there's going to start to to be a movement forward now also on August 11th, you're on a stations retrograde you're honest will be retrograde until January 12th of 2020 when it will then station direct the same day that Saturn and Pluto formed their conjunction in your 10th House of vocation and career you're honest is currently transiting the sign Taurus. This is the place in your chart that rules earned income and your value systems. So the the sense that I get Around August 11th is that you come into a place of Greater certainty and conviction around who you are you're ready to express that and then as you're on a stations direct you have to rework some value systems. You have to rework some very practical foundational issues in your life for some of you this may literally be money some kind of thing like I've figured out who I want to be and that means I need to change my job or I need to use my resources in a different way as we get into January and next year your You're really ready to conquer ties and formalize something about your public expression. Again. This may be your career your vocation have something to do with the way that you earn your living or bring value into your life and over the course of these next five months that you're honest is retrograde. It is a really good time for you to consider your values as well as your resources. What do you need to sustain your projects? And how can you get what you need in ways that are is that maybe aren't what you would think of immediately and that kind of encourage a sense of forward movement future Forward Thinking and sustainability August 11th is also the day that mercury moves into Leo and Mercury now is joining the other personal planets Venus Mars and the Sun as mercury comes into Leo your kind of communicative style and all energy gets that Leo boost this again great time for you to be connecting with friends really good time for you to be identifying what it is that you really enjoy doing and really enjoy spending your time with really good time for you to be expressing yourself for any of you who are artists or performers August looks like a really fun month for you on August 15th. There is a full moon at 22 degrees of Aquarius, and this is also the day that mercury is retrograde shadow. Completes. So a full moon is an opposition between the Sun and the Moon we have the sun in Leo and the opposite sign is Aquarius Aquarius rules, your solar 11th house Aquarius and the 11th house are associated to audiences networks greater social experiences greater social causes humanitarian aims and your ideas your hopes your wishes for the The world and for your future in this full moon, you may have some understandings about how you relate to the group as a unique person. And again, there's a lot of energy this month around you identifying. What is unique. What is special? What is your authentic expression wanting to put that out into the world really wanting to take up your own space? You're also now going to reflect on how this influences the larger world around you how the Group perceives you and how you fit in or don't with the group a group any groups kind of larger social experience Mercury Shadow is also complete this day and Mercury as I mentioned is in Leo Mercury is also trying at this moment to Chiron in your sign. I get a sense that this full Moon is really going to give you some kind of boost around any projects that you're working on or again your sense of justice. A purely personal expression and how you want to be in the world. You may be letting go of old ideas around fitting in with the group and there maybe experiences that you have more social experiences that either affirm for you how you want to be engaging in your social life with group identities or with social identities or negate these kinds of ideas and you feel like okay. I really need some kind of shift, but that Between you as an individual and us part of a group or larger social experience is highlighted. Please check in with embodied astrology on the full moon and the new moon. I forgot to mention. So August 15th is the full moon. July 31st is the new moon and both of those days. I'll be offering lunar attunements on embodied astrology. These are rituals meditations Inspirations for you to connect with the lunar cycle on August 17th Mars. As your ruling planet moves into Virgo and on August 21st Venus follows Mars will be in Virgo through October 4th Venus will Transit Virgo through September 15th, and the sun will move into Virgo on August 23rd.
