July 21 to the 26th Astro Energy

This week is a big energy. I am going to make this one a little shorter as I've been so busy dealing with life in my own reality. This is a easy week to share with as it's themes are centered and focused on us choosing the next path we step into courageously and with a roar as the Sun is leaving the sign of Cancer and entering into the loud and vibrant Leo energy. We have several aspects to the outer planets and will for awhile which are big shifts in the collective energy as a whole. We can all see and feel this on the outer. The gift for us personally is to go in with precision and cut and release what is holding us back from us changing our own inner landscape so that we can live the life we desire to live! It's powerful! Tap in!
On Monday, Venus will square the nodes of fate just before and we will be aligning our words with our actions. She is sitting in Gemini, so our mental musings and ways we express that energy will be presenting powerfully. Whenever a personal planets square the nodes, we can feel big shifts come in, if we are aligned and in this case choose to speak to our desires and dreams with conviction. She will have more power here as she is swearing Mars who is sitting with south node of fate in Virgo. We can feel the empowerment to speak what we are no longer in alignment with and what needs to change as we move forward. Are we using our words and energy to connect and grow or in an attempt to control? A great question to ponder on this week. Mars sitting with the south node and squaring Venus which has been felt since Saturday really, is an energy of cutting and releasing what is no longer serving us in our obsessive ways of trying to control. These energies can work to together to forge a new path beautifully. Where can we let go of perfection and step into authentic presence and progress?
Tuesday, we have the Sun entering into Leo and It's a glow up energetically. It is an igniting and inspiring time we are stepping into. Right when it enters, it will begin to make aspects to the outer planets which are shining light on our new persona, literally. Expect to feel shifts in directions of purpose and passion. Expect to know that you will need to have the conviction and courage to create the path forward you are seeking and dreaming! It’s like a cosmic wake up call that is supporting you in your most soulful and sacred truth stepping forward! Use this energy. Leo’s live large in their own minds and hearts. Most people love or hate a Leo energy and I can relate. Some dont’t know their own magnetic energy and just pour their energy all over the place, which can feel overwhelming to the sensitive soul. Others have learned just how powerful they are and have learned to use their vitality to inspire and influence in beautiful ways. It’s a great time to tap into where and how you want others to see you use your shine! Burn bright, my friends! I think that as the Sun will sextile Uranus we will get lighting inspiration and ah-ha moments during our the early days of the week!
Thursday is a big day, with the Leo New Moon as the Sun is in a flowing trine to Neptune and Saturn in Aries. It's a powerful energetic note to really step into our power to dream, manifest, create and know that we are worthy of having all of it as long as were being practical and ready to do the work to get the results that we want to have! Neptune and Saturn are adding an element of true manifestation with a spice of inner wisdom and outer action. The New moon is Leo is a new beginning our souls projection into the world around us. It’s a fresh start, a new beginning on who and how we are going to express ourselves from here. How will you choose to share your gifts in the world?
Friday, we have the Sun in Leo opposing Pluto in Aquarius. The Sun is at home in Leo and is burning bright in the heavens. It’s a confident and strong space for our souls essence to be felt and seen. On this day, as it has a deep convo with Pluto, we could feel the doubts, the old stories, the insecurities or the scandals we’ve buried or lied to ourselves about come forward. How can we let go of who we pretend to be to feel loved or received and how can we step into the true power of our souls mission with the help of Pluto’s powerful transformative energy?
This week we’re being forged in the fire of the planets. It doesn’t get much hotter than Leo season in the heavens. It’s a powerful week to recreate, reengage and reinvent the wheel in our own worlds. We have to find the courage and the confidence to step into it and we will be supported fully by the cosmos. The Question is, do you believe you deserve this and will you allow yourself to have it? What comes from that answer will likely create a small revolution and releases that are here to restore your mighty and powerful story stepping forward.
The New Moon in Leo Thursday is a powerful new moon and I would highly suggest spending some time this day and evening to meditate or write down what you’re wanting to create and hold in your reality. Light a candle, sing to your soul or speak to the reality you’re ready to create!
May your week remind you that we’re all imperfect, and that with true awareness and conviction, we are all here to create and live a life that feels aligned with our heart and our soul. The wild thing I see so often is many don’t know their soul and don’t live from their heart. This is a week that you can meet them both and they’ll sing mystical music to you reminding you that the 9-5 is not the reason you were born on this earth!
Sending love, blessings and bounty ~
