Monday, JULY 22

Venus forms a biquintile to Saturn today, and Mars forms a quintile to both Venus and Saturn. It’s a powerful time to maneuver, design, and organize. We may be showcasing our reliability and loyalty. There can be a willingness to make sacrifices if it seems the best way to make improvements, and with a game plan, we’re ready to exercise patience.

Our timing with business and personal pursuits is good as we’re inclined to strategize and prepare well. Competition can motivate us to improve our situation.

These influences are excellent for seeing relationship patterns and using them positively to encourage commitment and creativity.

The Sun enters Leo today, where it will transit until August 22nd. The Sun is proud, outgoing, and playful in its own sign–we want to enjoy and express ourselves during this cycle.

The Leo Sun is intensely individual, not content with merely being one of the team. It’s time to shine, perform, and add a touch of color and drama to our lives. We are generous and grand in our gestures and attitudes. On the shadow side, we can also be self-centered and vain under this influence.

As the day progresses, we approach a Sun-Pluto opposition that can bring to the surface deep, dark, or buried and unresolved matters. Through feelings, relationships, and events, we can gain a clearer understanding of areas of life where we’ve been holding onto something too tightly or giving away our personal power. This can be disruptive and uncomfortable, but it can also lead to significant personal growth and heightened self-awareness.

A tricky or buried issue might now reach a head. We may feel on edge, volatile, or defensive. There can be inner drama or external circumstances undermining our perception of powerfulness. We may experience a battle within ourselves between light and dark energies, or we can meet this theme through others.

Outside forces remind us of our need to take charge of our lives, but shortcuts to gaining control are unlikely to work out. Instead, we should formulate strategies for managing our fears or worries.
