We kick off this week with Leo Season on July 22. You will be smiling and feel positive and hopeful these next few weeks. Also, there can be periods of grandiosity or indulgence. Be mindful and measure your actions. Love and relationships will enter a new phase, such as fiery exchanges, grand gestures, and drama. The key to working with this solar season is to explore your creative side and approach life and love with pure intention, like a child. Shifting your mindset and factoring in integrity will radiate support in areas of interest.
Pride can be a major setback. Balancing this out will require you to glow up and genuinely cater to your dreams.
Speaking of balance, your will is tested on July 23 with the Sun-Pluto opposition, prompting you to accept your need to change your ways. This celestial event will enable you to realize your capabilities as you learn how to let go of the outmoded in your life story.
Make this your cosmic mantra. I attract peace as I accept and release the past.
The messenger planet, Mercury, phases into Virgo, its natural expression on July 25. Our thinking and process of getting things done will be methodical and sensible. Being overly analytical and critical can be a sticking point, potentially leading to work conflicts or delays. Luckily, you will have a sound mindset and focus with the Sun-Mars sextile also occurring on this day. Get ready and know that the Universe will hold space and support your dreams. All it takes is belief and to take your first step.
Learn to trust in the process and take this opportunity to complete or review future tasks before Mercury retrograde begins next month.
Chiron retrograde begins on July 26 and will complete its backspin motion until December 29. Anytime a retrograde occurs for any planet or asteroid, you need review and reflection. In the sign of Aries, the asteroid Chiron prompts us to evaluate our ability to take ownership and lead.
For any past unresolved issues, Chiron retrograde extends the chance for you to heal and rebuild your confidence.
