Yesterday’s New Moon at 0 Leo is a major reset on the LOVE vibration. August brings the second New Moon in Leo, but a total solar Eclipse right over ‘Murica sure to set fire to fake thrones. There is a total eclipse of the heart theme this summer. Are you living to love? Loving to live? The current Venus-Saturn opposition can trigger feelings of loneliness, rejection or a desire to commit more deeply. Where there is love, commitment and devotion, there is no distance and no fear.
This New Moon in Leo says: Love like it’s the only reason you were put on earth.
Weekly July 24-30th, 2017
Aries:
The super hot Leo energy continues to rock your romantic world this week, Aries. Get it, got it, GOOD. The craziness of August is imminent, so get your pleasure on while you can. There was a New Moon in your fun/creativity/love zone last Sunday, and its beautiful, bold energy reverberates through this week. Plus, your ruler Mars gets together with the Sun in the same part of your chart on Wednesday, amping up the decadent, dramatic vibe. Just be careful not to get so hot under the collar that you blow up your own spot (especially with lovers).
Taurus:
Late last week there was a fabulously ambitious New Moon in your career zone, Taurus. That theme blends into the energy of this week, so continue to pump your professional prospects 24/7. Yes, it’s summer and some people are out of the office, but trust that the important VIPs are paying attention to what you’re putting out there into the world this week. Be wary of Wednesday, when Mars, the planet of war, gets together with the Sun. This can bring some aggression and/or drama around your career. It’s healthy to push your agenda, but know when to give it a rest.
Gemini:
The stars are looking pretty stellar this week, and you should take advantage of that, Gemini – because eclipse season AND Mercury Retrograde are coming up any minute now. The heavy-duty Leo energy continues to permeate the cosmic atmosphere in the wake of last Sunday’s delicious New Moon. Communication is still the theme you’re working closely with most of the week, and it’s perfect for getting your PR strategy in ship-shape before things get messy in August. Just be wary of your own fiery temper on Wednesday, when the Sun and Mars meet up in your talking/texting zone. Take a breath before you type.
Cancer:
The summer is heating up and so is your financial zone. With the lovely and lucrative New Moon of late last week still working its magic, you’ve got yet more chances to grab your fortune. If you haven’t already, get strategizing on your goals ASAP – your income can double within six months if you apply yourself. Just make sure that you don’t overdo it leading up to Wednesday, when the Sun and Mars get together in your house of spending – you might end up with some serious retail regret, Cancer.
Leo:
You’re the birthday girl and it’s still totally your birthday world, Leo! The New Moon in your sign that just happened (last Sunday) continues to influence the energy of the workweek in the sweetest way possible. You’ve got more wishes to make and previous wishes to tweak – so write it all down in as much detail as you can muster. The stars DO see you, Ms. Kitty – they’re listening closely, so be careful what you wish for. On Wednesday the Sun meets up with Mars in your sign, and that can make you a bit more aggressive than other people are ready for.
Virgo:
You’re in a super interesting and important astro-phase right now, Virgo. The Sun just moved into your dream zone late last week, and this past Sunday’s New Moon was there as well. This is one of those moments when looking within isn’t just encouraged, it’s necessary. This is all prep for your birthday debut at the end of August into September. And with your ruler Mercury going retrograde in a few weeks (in the midst of eclipse season) defusing tension within your own psyche is the healthiest thing you can do. Meditate, sleep more, write in your journal, and make relaxation into your job.
Libra:
The stars are making your life very exciting this week, Libra – perhaps too exciting. With all the intensely dramatic Leo energy in the atmosphere since late last week, your social life is exploding – both online and off. It can get pretty exhausting keeping up with all the demands for your time, darling. And be extra wary on Wednesday, when the Sun and Mars meet in your networking zone. Someone in your midst might blow up in an uncomfortable way – or it might even be you. Avoid passive-aggression at all costs – state your needs calmly and directly as soon as you feel them.
Scorpio:
The heat is rising this week – and so is your professional prowess. You’re still high off the amazing vibes from this past Sunday’s New Moon in your career zone, and you should work that energy hard for the first few days of the week. By Wednesday your ruler Mars, always driven and passionate, gets together with the Sun. This makes your urge to rule the world even more intense, Scorpio. Even though you’re obviously in charge, just make sure not to lord your power over others, especially under this aggressive astro-setup. A bit of sugar will make the medicine go down — every single time.
Sagittarius:
It’s fiery AF right now, Sadge – and that’s just the way you like it. With several planets in Leo, your sister sign, and the recent New Moon in the same constellation, it’s hard to get away from the heat – and why would you even want to? There’s a huge focus on the part of your chart you embrace the most – your house of travel. If you’ve been cooped up, expect to yearn to burn free this week. This is especially the case on Wednesday, when the Sun and Mars meet up in your adventure zone. You simply MUST change your scenery or boredom will be crushing.
Capricorn:
The cosmic energy continues to pulsate through your intimacy zone this week, Capricorn. This past weekend’s New Moon will continue to influence the workweek, making you crave closeness with your partner, both emotional and sexual. If you can get both, great, but one or the other is still a good thing for now! Wednesday’s Mars/Sun meet-up is totally combustible, especially if you’ve had any recent tussles with a lover. On one hand it can lead to amazing makeup sex, but on the other it can be really, really frustrating. Avoid arguments unless you know they will end well – in bed.
Aquarius:
With the cosmic energy continuing to flood into your partnership zone, this week’s theme is relationships, relationships, relationships. You’ll encounter this wherever you go – you’re figuring out who you are based on how you react to the people in your life. This goes for both personal and professional partnerships. Be especially careful of projecting your feelings onto others on Wednesday, when hot-tempered Mars meets up with the Sun in the same part of your chart. You’re easily triggered at the moment, Aquarius.
Pisces:
The planets are on FIRE this week, Pisces, and since you’re a water sign, this could be a bit challenging. The New Moon just ignited your work zone last weekend, and that energy continues to pulse through the workweek. And productivity is indeed the theme right now – but you could push yourself too hard and too far. Especially on Wednesday, when the Sun meets up with Mars in your work zone, it’s important to schedule multiple breaks and necessary downtime into you schedule. If you just keep going without taking a breath, the stress will eat you – and you’ll be too exhausted to continue.
