Monthly Astrology: Leo

LEO: JULY 23 - AUGUST 22

Listen up, Leo! According to the all-knowing celestial body known as the Sun, it appears you're about to play some extreme cosmic homebody till July 22nd. And by "homebody," we mean you're going to be brewing strategies and master plans instead of just aggressively storming forward. It's less of a "charge headfirst into battle" and more of a "let's blueprint this fortress" kind of month.

Now don't be fooled. This doesn't mean you're in hibernation mode. It's just that you're focusing more on your inner world, and, dare I say, exploring the intimate side of life. And let's not forget the celestial trio of the North Node, Mercury, and the Sun strutting into your realm this month, lighting up your independence and creativity like a cosmic disco ball.

Here's the fun part, July is going to feel like a traffic light stuck on an endless cycle of red and green for you. One moment, you're revving your engine, brimming with ideas and excitement, and the next, you're halted by some cosmic speed bumps. But fear not, Leo, this cosmic detour might be a secret blessing if you use it to refine and polish your ideas.

The Full Moon on the 3rd might just give you an epiphany about your lifestyle and health. It's like that pile of laundry you've been avoiding - you finally admit it's time to tackle it. So buckle up, Leo, because it's time to get your daily affairs in order and strike that perfect balance between work and rest. Who knew the cosmos cared about your laundry schedule, right?

Starting the 10th, you're going to feel like a cosmic Energizer bunny, all set to build, improve, and develop your works-in-progress. It's like a cosmic HGTV marathon, and you're the star. But remember, slow and steady wins the race. Don't push yourself to the brink of exhaustion. We don't want you turning into a zombified Leo, now, do we?

Now, let's talk about Mercury in your sign from the 11th to the 28th. Your mental gears are going to be turbo-charged, and procrastination will be a thing of the past. Sure, some misconceptions may pop up, but trust your creative process. Who knows? You might even find new and exciting ways to express yourself this month.

Now, while the New Moon on the 17th might encourage some internal introspection, don't think of it as hitting the pause button. Rather, it's an opportunity for a cosmic recharge. It's like the universe has offered you a giant broom to sweep away the past, and make way for your mental and emotional wellness.

On the flip side, the North Node's move into your spirit sector is like a cosmic alarm, reminding you to embrace beliefs that resonate with the new and improved "you." It's your time to explore beyond your usual routine and step into uncharted territories.

Now, we can't forget about Venus. She's been hanging out in Leo all month, amplifying your charm. But wait, she hits the retrograde brakes on the 22nd, causing some love hiccups. But don't worry, this period is a great chance for some cosmic spring cleaning and introspection.

Just remember, during this Venus retrograde phase from July 22nd to September 3rd, it's more about revising plans and taking a breather rather than going full throttle. You'll soon realize that this "pause" was just what you needed to recharge and come back stronger.

In a nutshell, Leo, while your magnetic allure is at an all-time high this month, don't rush into the matters of the heart. It's a time to get cozy with your needs and desires. So slow down, buckle up, and enjoy the cosmic journey! And remember, all the cosmic whispering about you is only because you're too irresistible to ignore.
