“We each can make measurable and meaningful differences in terms of how we might choose to co-create our life in conscious, harmonious alignment with our destiny.” ~Michael O’Connor
Tip of the Week:
The Sun entered Leo on July 22, just as it ever does at this time each year to begin its transit through the sign it rules.
The ‘Signs’ in Astrology refer to the time period and their associated themes based on nature’s cycles. (The 12 corresponding Zodiacal Constellations are a projection of this cycle, not the other way around, as is commonly assumed.)
The Leo cycle began on a complex note featuring the late waning Moon in Cancer, and Mercury Retrograde, also in Leo, dampening the overall tone somewhat.
Now, under the light of the waxing Moon (which was New in Leo on July 24), Mars entering Libra on August 6 is noteworthy, as it can prove somewhat challenging.
Mercury formed the second of three conjunctions with the Sun (for this round of its tri-annual retrograde cycle) on July 31. This influence could swing either way to inflate egos or to offer a rare opportunity to actually break free of its grip and even experience a noticeable breakthrough within oneself or on relationship fronts.

Weekly Horoscope:
Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)
You are likely able to tune in to the uplifting summertime spirit of Leo. Mars still in Virgo, however, may be synchronizing with the reality of balancing work with play. Some measure of inner work could go a long way now. While it could in fact backfire, if your ego overtakes you, this positively includes increasing your ability to be more objective about what you want and need.
Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)
A busy time continues, yet you are determined to spend as much quality time with family as you can. Of course, family dynamics can prove complex as all social masks tend to be piled in the family virtual mask basket. So, circumstances could challenge you to make extra efforts to keep things positively rolling along and happy. A playful spirit will go a long way.
Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)
Your creative juices are likely flowing strongly now, and perhaps other ones as well. In some regards, you are determined to get to the bottom of things and to push for resolution of some kind, or perhaps for a breakthrough. As ever, exercising a spirit of creative thinking, considering new angles of approach to break free of old patterns, is a timeless key to liberation.
Cancer (Jun 21 – Jul 22)
The Venus/Jupiter combined influence that is steadily rising for the next 10+ days should prove quite rewarding. Admittedly, you could also feel a bit moodier than usual. Yet, your confidence levels to explore new territory should already be evident and are accompanied by a growing desire to express yourself, your feelings, and appreciation of beauty.
Leo (Jul 22 – Aug 23)
A strong creative impulse continues to steadily rise. Inspired by deep feelings of love, you may also need to have access to your hidden reserves of faith and confidence to achieve your goals. Your willingness to make the extra efforts is indicated and includes your ability to get to the point more effectively and quickly. Speak your mind, but weigh your words before you speak them.
Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
Happy to remain largely behind the scenes, but you still want to get a lot done or to experience progress and productivity at a high level. Your willingness to make the extra efforts required is indicated, yet your ability to think as clearly as you would like could feel like spotting blue skies on an overcast day. Focus on the bigger picture and long-term plans for best results.
Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22)
Mercury retrograde is inviting you to dream big, even in technicolor, as the saying goes, but to also be aware of tendencies to slip into wishful thinking. This can also be described as assumption, over-idealism, or unrealistic perspectives in general. The key now is to balance your lofty dreams and ideals with awareness of the actual efforts and resources required.
Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21)
As though you were standing on top of the world, your feelings are mixed. As with the high-reaching and perilous peak of a high mountain, the reality of the situation could be a blend of grit and glory, achievement and intimidation… Fortunately, the Venus/Jupiter alignment stands to prove extra auspicious for you in terms of presenting opportunities for fresh starts.
Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21)
Despite possible fog patches obscuring clarity, you do see the light at the end of this tunnel. Returns for past efforts could come with mixed emotions, perhaps bittersweet. A call home that was sounded about 6 months or so ago is part of the plot and has guided you to also explore new possibilities. Your will to do what it takes may be needed.
Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19)
On one hand, you find yourself in a deep mood, while on the other hand, you have been experiencing your world expanding and presenting new opportunities. An ardent push to see things through, meanwhile, requires more research and investigation. Circumstances are pushing you to confront your fears, and you probably have your share.
Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19)
A strong emphasis on relationship fronts finds you renegotiating. An attitude of surrender to break patterns and make changes to keep the peace is featured. Positively, doing so will lead to a whole new spectrum of creative thoughts, ideas, and projects. Fortunately, your ambitions are running strong anyway, so you feel determined to participate.
Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
Making needed improvements is in the spotlight. Your powers of creative, critical thinking should be running extra strongly these days. You may not be ready to make firm decisions yet, but you will feel more confident to do so soon. Regarding your financial life, get clear on what you want to achieve in both the shorter and longer term, with clear timelines.
