Mercury enters Leo today, and stays in this playful sign until August 10th.
During this cycle, our thinking is more confident and grand. The focus
is now on the goal--and the more grand the goal the better! The details may
not be quite as important now. We are more expressive, even theatrical and
given to speech-giving and story-telling under this influence. We are also
more convincing and persuasive, as we exude confidence when we speak or
write. We may not listen as well as we normally do under Mercury in Leo.
Mercury in hard aspect to Mars today suggests quick-wittedness. Mars trines
Jupiter, adding more drama to the day. Decisive action comes naturally now. We possess
willpower, verve, and energy that we can direct toward achieving our goals.
Success in contracts, negotiations, and business deals comes more easily, as
long as we watch our tongues. We want
to branch out and take on more challenges. Optimism, enthusiasm, and
spiritedness are themes today. Positive attitudes create winning situations now. A
spirit of friendly competition prevails, as well as the desire to take
beneficial action. The Moon is in solid Taurus all day.
Note: Read the
sections for both your Sun Sign and Ascendant for a better
picture of what lies ahead for the day. For example, if you are
an Aries with a Leo Ascendant, read the forecast for both
Aries and Leo.
This Month: Aries
July 2008
Your main focus in July, dear Aries, is work and family. Only towards the end
of the month are you feeling more sociable and playful. The New Moon on the 2nd
turns your attention to domestic matters. Building your nest figures strongly
now, but so does getting organized. Your energy increases for work projects, and
your job environment is especially lively. It’s a fabulous month for joining a
gym or stepping up exercise and health routines. The 10th brings
professional concerns that you handle eloquently; and the 26th could
bring a promotion or job offer.
Work figures especially strongly in 2008 for you, dear Aries. Some form of
pleasant culmination in your professional life brings rewards and recognition.
Still, despite the fact that you're loving your career this year, you are also
working especially hard. The inclination is towards more detail work, and it can
get to you at times. You may turn a job into a vocation in 2008, and some work
behind the scenes figures. Personal projects are on an upswing. A project begun
near the beginning of the year is likely to bear fruit towards the end of 2008.
Romance and close personal relationships are not making big headlines for you
this year, which could be a good thing, although you should definitely take some
solid time off for recreation. All work and no play just isn't going to fulfill
you at the end of the day, even if it is a tendency. As well, becoming more
particular about your health and diet is in order. Happier periods for
recreation and romance occur in May, June, and August. Stronger times for
finances occur in the last week of January and most of April.
