LEO July 22nd - August 22nd

This is an appropriately celebratory month with much emphasis on love life and one’s offspring. Between the 5^th and 24^th communications with those in a romantic context and with one’s children, can be especially fruitful. Creatively it is also powerful and your unique qualities are to the fore and shining

However, importantly all born after August 13^th, have Venus especially inspiring Cupid’s power. Love, affection, generosity and creative harmony are yours and after the 21^st this becomes quite profound in its effects when Venus moves retrograde. In fact you may really understand then that there is a very special purposeful meaning to a relationship than you realised, with maybe a karmic connotation.

Some vital attention may well need to be expended on finances before the 5^th. However after that date, if born up to August 6^th your will and determination is indomitable. Also your intellect is shrewd, fair and effective when communicating. Siblings are positive connections too

However Saturn has his cold hand a little on the shoulders of those born August 9^th to 14^th. He is demanding his pound of flesh and making you focus on the necessary in life and to do with discipline and patience in terms of what has to be done. It will also remind you that you are not getting any younger and to look after the vessel in which you live.  Family may feel demanding, but they really may have your own welfare in mind.

Uranus is directly affecting those born July 31^st to August 2^nd, inspiring sudden travel and surprise intellectual insights and philosophical wisdom, and also giving you a yearning for a new freedom and a new authenticity. This has been true for well over a year and is now coming to a close. The time is right to rubber-stamp the enlightened journey.
