The month of Leo acts a little differently than the rest of the astrological months. Aside from the fact that it’s governed by the Sun, the main luminary in the astrology chart, until the 15th of the month, it is considered a heavier and negative time. After the 15th of the month, the energy becomes lighter and more positive. And as we are now past the Full Moon, the energy gets slightly lighter.
This week, Mercury finally finishes its three-week period of retrograde motion that started July 17th. But we will still feel the effect of some retrograde energy until it returns to the degree at which it started retrograde motion: 15 degrees in Leo.
It is still a time to reflect on how we communicate with others, especially how much we listen to others. Fire signs are not known for their ability to listen to others; they are more about getting others to hear their opinions. But by paying attention, we can create transformation and increase the amount of blessings that are connected to the fire element.
Mars, the planet of desire and war, moved into Libra last week. It started its journey in Libra with a dramatic position with Saturn, so at this time, by being even more careful with our words and setting healthy boundaries, we can create balance in our lives.
On Monday, we have an exact opposition between Venus and Jupiter, the planet of blessings. Be sure to do something that opens your heart and brings love and connection between you and others. It could be your lucky day depending on where the sign of Cancer is in your chart.
Also, as we mentioned earlier, Mercury stations direct on Monday. Imagine that on this day, Mercury is shining bright in the sky, shedding Light on all situations. Mercury is in the sign of the heart. It can also help with research and gaining a deeper understanding of things around you. Do your own inner research to get to the right conclusion. Just be careful not to manipulate the energy; be open-minded to receive the messages from the universe.
