Leo (July 23 – August 22)
Last month’s astrology reminded you of something you already know: you look great in the spotlight! With the Sun as your ruling planet, you were born to share your gifts and expressing yourself fully. Your boldness has the power to inspire those around you. But just because you’re drawn to living authentically doesn’t mean you’re always comfortable with the reactions that come with it. You might find yourself dimming your light in response to criticism or chatter, but that only makes it harder for you to see your own path. When you feel stuck, remember that transmuting fear into courage is your superpower. This month offers plenty of opportunities to move in that direction.
To live in alignment, you need support from the practical aspects of your life. The New Moon in Virgo on September 2 puts financial matters front and center, encouraging you to invest in yourself. New Moons are all about fresh starts, and this one could be just what you need to take the next step. The powerful Lunar Eclipse on September 17 signals a big shift in your mindset. If you’ve been unsure about your own success, now’s the time to reassess where you’re putting your time, energy, and money so they better reflect the quality of work you’re capable of, especially with the right support.
When the Sun moves into Libra on September 22, balance becomes the theme. As much as you might want to pour your heart into your relationships, now is the time to direct that love inward. New pathways for romance could open around September 14 when Venus and Jupiter align in a supportive trine aspect. Let your love be reciprocal at the end of the month.
