Leo Leo
July 30 ~ August 13
You are navigating partnerships with more passion and diplomacy as Mars enters Libra on Wednesday, Aug. 6. Mars in Libra encourages you to negotiate and co-create, fostering win-win situations that benefit both parties. Mars is a planet of action, so it’s a time when you might become more assertive in addressing relationship issues. You may feel compelled to speak up for what you need—whether it’s in a romantic relationship, business partnership, or even in close friendships. While Libra seeks harmony, Mars adds the fire to ensure that your voice is heard. More than ever, you will want things to be fair and balanced. Just as Mars enters Libra, it will form a Grand Trine with Uranus in Gemini and Pluto in Aquarius, symbolizing potential possibilities for an out-of-this-world outcome. It’s dynamic, highly charged, and spring-loaded. Direct your will in a far-reaching way—one that benefits all.
When Mercury goes direct in Leo on Monday, Aug. 11, it will feel like the fog lifts in your self-expression, creativity, and personal projects. This is especially significant because Mercury directly impacts your sense of self, identity, and appearance—and with Leo’s natural flair, the energy is bold and very much alive. Mercury direct in your sign helps clear up any misunderstandings or delays in your personal life. If there were any moments where your intentions weren’t understood or your messages were misinterpreted, you can now express yourself more clearly and resolve any lingering confusion. It can get a good-feeling fire going again in areas linked with your life purpose as well, increasing your drive and motivation once again. Jupiter and Venus in Cancer join in your house of the unseen on Tuesday, Aug. 12, energizing a subtle yet profound influence in your emotional life. It can be very restorative and healing. With both planets working their magic in the background, you might uncover hidden gifts or talents that empower you to manifest more joy and love in your life.
