LEO July 22nd - August 22nd

The New Year starts with a need to get your nose to the grindstone and get on with work and what needs to be done. It is also a brilliant time for rationalising your life, your home, your office, putting it in order, clearing out and creating a better working environment in general. Communication with colleagues is excellent for many of you, and Venus also in your solar 6^th house can bring a real harmony and deeper connection to those with whom you share your workspace. It is also a good time for focusing on health and regenerating and rejuvenating that. After the 11^th all should use communication ease to your advantage.

Others have wisdom to offer you, so listen.

All born August 3^rd to 17^th have Mars supporting them. He is bringing intelligent, wise judgement, measured and fair, and your actions will reflect that successfully.

However Saturn is also being a little trying now for those born August 12^th to 16^th. He is bringing some pressure and stress and strain from family and domestic issues. Obligations and duties are there and you are being reminded that you need to honour them. It is also a time when selfishness and strong ego has to be downgraded on the altar of doing what is necessary in life. Restrictions and limitations are evident now, but they are showing you where you have failed to do what is necessary in the past and now the time has come to face the music. At the very least it is a time when you cannot stop the hard work that you are putting into any project.

Uranus however is very inspiring for those born in the first few days of August. He is finalising his ability to kick start you into a better, freer future that reflects you more honestly as you are, particularly in relationship to new people in your life who are catalysts and way-showers for a new future. Your children can also be innovators for you and love life itself is enlightening.

The second new Moon of the month falls at 11 degrees of Aquarius on the 30^th. On this date all born around the 4^th will need to be aware then that constructive change re another is beneficial.
