Overview for this Month: Leo (All)
July 2021 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Leo:
Even with the Sun's undercover transit of your solar twelfth house until the 22nd, you're inclined to get some special attention in July, dear Leo. Venus and Mars are in Leo until the 21st and 29th, respectively, and they join forces on the 13th. You feel your desires, wants, and needs intensely as they come alive and want to express themselves. There is a real creative and attractive sizzle to your personality. People want to be around you and are drawn in by your lively spirit. You are magnetic and more noticeable than usual. With love, desire, and self-assertion, you are straightforward. Your magnetism is through the roof.
These transits help put you at the top of your personal game. People are drawn to your natural charm and appreciate the qualities you display most naturally. Others want to be around you and share some space with you in July, although you need to make some room for downtime.
Some healthy self-focus is entirely appropriate and quite beneficial. Configurations occurring now can bring positive attention and admiration your way. It’s a time for following your heart and expressing yourself more authentically and confidently.
Still, there can be moments when you can face blocks or limits and responsibilities that get in the way of your personal goals. You might view someone in your life as unnecessarily strict or unyielding. Recognize your own need for structure and rules in your relationships, and meet others halfway for best results. If duty and pleasure seem to be at odds, you may need to strike a compromise. Compromise and objectivity are both essential now in your dealings with others.
Another theme this month involves dealing with recent excess or a desire to shine in all sorts of areas, but time and energy are naturally limited. You're giving much of yourself, taking on a lot of work and daily activities, and enjoying the process, but there will come the point when you realize something has to give.
Spending can be a problem later in July and into August, but business ideas are golden, gifts may be coming in, and you can arrive at a good sense of movement on a venture.
Some soul-searching is in order, and the urge to find some level of emotional peace of mind will be apparent, especially around the New Moon on the 9th. You can have great ideas about matters of the past and how to learn from and move past them.
There can be slowdowns or delays related to travel, educational, or legal matters from the 15th. Certainly, there can be moments when you feel tied down, bored, or overworked, but once you accept a slower pace, you're in great shape to get things in order or reassess matters.
Even though you’re keeping a low profile for the first three weeks of the month, you’re not shy about pursuing your desires. You’re not at your most conciliatory, and that’s just fine at the moment. It's a generally good time to assert yourself, but you might want to do so when Mars in your sign is in favorable aspect, not so much when it’s arguing with other cosmic bodies, such as on the 1-2 and 28-29 when you’re inclined to push your luck.
You’re in excellent shape for boosting your income and managing your money from the 21st. This is set to increase even further next month, so you might aim to lay the groundwork for new beginnings and to gain your financial footing. Venus in your solar second house is quite remarkable for enjoying financial or emotional increase, abundance, and comfort.
Your ruler, the Sun, moves into your sign on the 22-23. This is the time to shine, reinvent yourself, or come into the light in some significant manner. You feel more in charge, relevant, and on top of things. Mercury in your sign from the 27th is excellent for mental renewal and decisiveness as well. It's a favorable time to present, share, and decide. It’s a time for being quoted and noted!
The Full Moon on the 23rd can bring on revelations and epiphanies about your feelings or a close relationship. There could be new clients, invitations, and sudden interest in your services, or simply your presence!
On the 28-29, watch that you're not acting out in ways that jeopardize an important partnership or relationship. Some of you could be torn between going your own way and including someone or boosting a relationship. Through some conflict or restlessness, you might see ways to make meaningful improvements to your life. Mars moves into your resources sector on the 29th, energizing your desire to get comfortable, make money, or organize your personal possessions.

Leo (Born July 23 to August 2)
AND Leo Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Leo:
July 2021 Leo Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
July 2021
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until July 22nd:
The Sun continues to shine its light on your solar twelfth house. This is the time to listen to your intuition, to take a break from the hectic pace of your life, and to reflect on what you have learned in the past year. You might naturally retreat a little and take more private time for yourself now.
Your physical energy levels may not be up to par for the time being, and this is your body signaling you to take a break. This is not an ideal time for pushing forward with new personal projects and plans. It is better to finish up projects and tie up loose ends now.
From July 23rd forward:
The Sun illuminates your first house now, bringing issues surrounding your personal identity, appearance, outward behavior, and self-expression to the forefront. This marks the peak of your physical solar cycle, and you are in the position to make an impression on others, and to assert your personal influence. Spontaneity of expression is what this transit is about. You are ready to put your past behind you and to start a new personal cycle. You have presence and you project confidence. Increased energy and a renewed feeling of confidence is with you now, so take advantage.
It's a great month to do something entirely new and pioneering—to go solo in some area of your life. This particular season of the year smiles on your personal endeavors. This is a time when you more easily get in touch with a true sense of your identity and purpose. The most enterprising side of your nature surfaces, and it's time to seize opportunities. Existing problems in your life may be overcome now by bravery and a straightforward approach to your life.
There's nothing wrong with a bit of self-centeredness during this cycle, but avoid taking it too far. It's not the best time for teamwork and other cooperative endeavors. The spotlight is on you and your ability to lead, so make it a good one! Take steps to improve how you come across to others. It's time to carve your own path in life.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until July 21st:
Venus continues to grace your solar first house now. Something about how you present yourself, your image, and your manner boosts your personal magnetism during this cycle. It's a good time to attract who and what you want into your life experience. You're more charming and you are likely to want to attract things to you indirectly rather than forcefully now, perhaps through charm and playfulness. You have a stronger need to be good to yourself, although a negative expression of this placement can be excessive attention to pampering oneself or taking the easy way out. You especially enjoy making a good impression on others, and peace-making. You might also be paying more attention to beauty and style now.
From July 22nd forward:
Venus transits your solar second house and, as the natural ruler of the second house, Venus feels right "at home" here. This is a rather content position for Venus, although there can be some restlessness when it comes to money and spending it—you are more inclined to want more things around you! Financial security and enjoyment of the good things in life are important to you, although you also value simple pleasures. The ability to relate well with others might enhance your own personal finances during this period. You may find yourself in a position in which there is a blending of financial matters with social or public affairs. This is a stable position for love matters and close relationships. You value those who make you feel comfortable, and familiarity is more important to you than someone new during this cycle.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Until July 12th:
Mercury continues to journey through your solar eleventh house. This is a time when conversations with friends and various networking activities are much appreciated and offer learning experiences. Your ideas just now are especially progressive and unconventional, as you are questioning the rules you typically live by and entertaining some wild ideas.
Not all of these ideas are necessarily going to last or lead to new projects, but it's a time of dreaming up new possibilities and new possible solutions to problems. You are especially interested in spending time with people who are like-minded. Social interactions are more frequent, light, and fun during this cycle.
From July 12-27:
Your mind is focused on private matters and past issues while Mercury transits the twelfth house of your solar chart. This is a time when you are least likely to speak out of turn or to express yourself freely. You're searching behind the curtain, and examining the past for answers.
This is a good time for research, quiet contemplation, and meditation; but do avoid getting dragged down by issues that have outgrown their worth and purpose. Examining the past in order to improve the future is certainly worthwhile, as long as you don't waste your energy on guilt. Creative endeavors could prosper now, particularly those that draw upon the emotions or that require creative visualization skills, such as poetry, art, acting, and other such activities.
You are likely to require a certain amount of solitude in order to get your thoughts together or to be mentally productive. You are less likely to chat indiscriminately during this transit, and tend to be a little secretive or tight-lipped for the time being. This may be important, in fact, because this position of Mercury is sometimes associated with the uncovering of secrets, so discretion may be in order.
From July 28th forward:
With Mercury in your solar first house, you are most inclined to speak up about matters that you previously were only mulling over. Your disposition is more intellectual than usual now, and self-expression comes easily. You are sharper than usual--more observant, and more inclined to "live in the head". Relationships with siblings, neighbors, classmates, and casual friends may become more prominent in your life now.
It is likely that you will initiate discussions during this period, evaluate your appearance and the impact you have on those around you, and make contact with others rather than stay chained to any one place or activity.
This is the time to be direct and to communicate your needs and interests. You are more inclined to talk about yourself and your personal past now. This may also be a restless time when it is difficult to turn the thinking process off when it would be better to relax! It is an especially fruitful time for any endeavor that requires dealing with words, ideas, and facts and figures.
Your demeanor is more youthful, perhaps mischievous, light-hearted, and non-threatening so that others may be more inclined to turn to you for advice or pleasant conversation. Using the power of words to attract what you want or to further your interests works best for you now.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Until July 29th:
Mars continues to activate your solar first house, supplying you with added energy to apply towards personal goals, and a more assertive and direct approach to the world in general.
This is an excellent period for physical training and exercise of any kind. The desire to be self-sufficient and independent is especially strong now. You are far less tolerant of being restricted by or dependent on others, and this is a good time to identify your personal strengths and take positive action to rectify situations that may have previously felt frustrating or repressive.
You might be especially attracted to personal challenges, and seeing just how far you can push. However, be careful not to push yourself (and others) too far.
From July 30th forward:
Mars energizes your solar second house. You have more energy at your disposal to make money, but also to defend your values. This can be a very resourceful time, when you make the most of what you have. You have much energy for new money-making projects, or for stepping up existing ones.
You may be over-identifying with what you have and own, and you could be trying to prove yourself (your worth) to others using money and possessions as the means to do so. If conflicts occur during this transit, they are likely to be over issues of ownership. This is a time when impulse buying is at a peak. You probably should avoid using credit right now, simply because your spending habits may be excessive and impulsive.

Leo (Born August 3 to 12)
AND Leo Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Leo:
July 2021 Leo Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
July 2021
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
All month:
The Sun travels through your twelfth house now, marking a time of retreat and regeneration. Think about the attachments you have--to things, people, and routines--and consider which ones are dragging you down. This is a time when competitive energies and the ego are on a bit of a break.
It's not the time to push ahead with brand new projects. Rather, it's a time of reflection, dreaming, and recharging your batteries. Situations that have naturally outgrown their usefulness in your life can now be put behind you. Endings of natural cycles may be part of the picture at this time of year. Your energy is largely applied to personal and private affairs now. Your disposition is introspective. Rest and reflect, and prepare for a more outgoing cycle when the Sun moves into your first house.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort
Until the 5th:
Venus continues to transit through your solar twelfth house now. The twelfth house is a sector of endings, privacy, and mental health, and with Venus here, it's possible that you are reviewing your feelings for someone, or enjoying a more private love life for the time being. You may not be open with your affections for whatever reason now, and this shouldn't be a problem—it may be difficult to articulate, verbalize, or intellectualize your feelings for the time being. Doing some soul-searching as well as an enhanced ability to perceive other dimensions in love can lead you to a deeper understanding of your own love needs and possibly of a love relationship. Love might involve some form of sacrifice or simply a lot of giving and lending of support as opposed to receiving during this cycle.
From July 5-30:
You could find it hard to deny yourself much of anything during this cycle! This is a time when you naturally let loose your softer, receptive side. Romantic matters, as well as pleasure-seeking activities, come to the fore now. You are more likely to pay closer attention to your physical appearance and mannerisms, aiming to improve and enhance your attractiveness. Others find you especially agreeable and cooperative. You are more gracious, well-behaved (superficial if you are not careful!), and likable now. Take advantage! It's a time when you turn heads, and it's also a period for extra attention to pleasures, pampering, and enjoyment.
From July 30th forward:
Venus transits your solar second house and, as the natural ruler of the second house, Venus feels right "at home" here. This is a rather content position for Venus, although there can be some restlessness when it comes to money and spending it—you are more inclined to want more things around you!

AND Leo Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Leo:
July 2021 Leo Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
July 2021
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until July 11th:
The Sun continues to put a spotlight on your solar eleventh house. During this cycle, you are planting seeds for the future, dreaming up plans that you might begin to develop two months down the road, if they still seem viable then. You are more aware of the benefits of networking, and you might find some great ideas through others now. You might be working in a team now.
You could be questioning some of the rules you have been living by and you could be ready to try something totally new. You are more attracted to that which is progressive or unconventional during this cycle.
From July 12th forward:

Until July 3rd:
Mercury continues to transit your solar tenth house. Career matters are busy at this time, and there can be plenty of thoughts and/or conversations about your profession, your reputation, or your social standing during this cycle. It's a good time to analyze your work tasks and to streamline them or improve your skills. There may be increased contact with the public now, or you might experience an increased need to be heard and acknowledged for your intelligence, skills, capabilities, and ideas.
From July 3-22 forward:
Mercury is transiting your solar eleventh house. Your mind is bright, alert, and active during this cycle, and you have the ability to come up with unusual and inventive ideas. Sharing your thoughts with others is a prime interest. Others tend to particularly enjoy your conversations during this transit--you are willing to listen as well as add your own thoughts.
As well, your ability to grasp unusual subject matter and to intuitively understand what others are trying to say win you some brownie points! You could also do a lot of thinking and musing about your own happiness and long-term goals.

Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Until July 13th:
Mars continues to energize your solar twelfth house now. While Mars occupies the twelfth house, asserting yourself in a direct and straightforward manner can be difficult. This is largely due to a feeling of not being in touch with what it is you want or desire just for the time being as you reassess your goals and needs.
This lack of direction and self-knowledge should prompt you to look within to learn about your desires. It is likely that you will be much clearer when Mars reaches your first house. For the time being, take some time for rest and give your ego a break.
From July 14th forward: You are able to stand your ground and assert yourself more than usual during this transit of Mars through your solar first house. You have energy at your disposal to move your plans forward, and you are more enterprising. You want to leave your mark on the world in some way--however big or small--and you are more able to make an impression than usual. If circumstances are such, you are able to easily fight back. In fact, you may be somewhat combative under this influence, and you may have a short temper. Avoid being pushy. Take charge of your life, but don't bulldoze over others in the process! This is an excellent transit for assertiveness and physical vitality. Love affairs may also be stepped up during this period. On the rare occasion when an accident occurs, it is more likely to involve the head or face.
Overview Horoscope:
July 2021 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Leo:
Even with the Sun's undercover transit of your solar twelfth house until the 22nd, you're inclined to get some special attention in July, dear Leo. Venus and Mars are in Leo until the 21st and 29th, respectively, and they join forces on the 13th. You feel your desires, wants, and needs intensely as they come alive and want to express themselves. There is a real creative and attractive sizzle to your personality. People want to be around you and are drawn in by your lively spirit. You are magnetic and more noticeable than usual. With love, desire, and self-assertion, you are straightforward. Your magnetism is through the roof.
These transits help put you at the top of your personal game. People are drawn to your natural charm and appreciate the qualities you display most naturally. Others want to be around you and share some space with you in July, although you need to make some room for downtime.
Some healthy self-focus is entirely appropriate and quite beneficial. Configurations occurring now can bring positive attention and admiration your way. It’s a time for following your heart and expressing yourself more authentically and confidently.
Still, there can be moments when you can face blocks or limits and responsibilities that get in the way of your personal goals. You might view someone in your life as unnecessarily strict or unyielding. Recognize your own need for structure and rules in your relationships, and meet others halfway for best results. If duty and pleasure seem to be at odds, you may need to strike a compromise. Compromise and objectivity are both essential now in your dealings with others.
Another theme this month involves dealing with recent excess or a desire to shine in all sorts of areas, but time and energy are naturally limited. You're giving much of yourself, taking on a lot of work and daily activities, and enjoying the process, but there will come the point when you realize something has to give.
Spending can be a problem later in July and into August, but business ideas are golden, gifts may be coming in, and you can arrive at a good sense of movement on a venture.
Some soul-searching is in order, and the urge to find some level of emotional peace of mind will be apparent, especially around the New Moon on the 9th. You can have great ideas about matters of the past and how to learn from and move past them.
There can be slowdowns or delays related to travel, educational, or legal matters from the 15th. Certainly, there can be moments when you feel tied down, bored, or overworked, but once you accept a slower pace, you're in great shape to get things in order or reassess matters.
Even though you’re keeping a low profile for the first three weeks of the month, you’re not shy about pursuing your desires. You’re not at your most conciliatory, and that’s just fine at the moment. It's a generally good time to assert yourself, but you might want to do so when Mars in your sign is in favorable aspect, not so much when it’s arguing with other cosmic bodies, such as on the 1-2 and 28-29 when you’re inclined to push your luck.
You’re in excellent shape for boosting your income and managing your money from the 21st. This is set to increase even further next month, so you might aim to lay the groundwork for new beginnings and to gain your financial footing. Venus in your solar second house is quite remarkable for enjoying financial or emotional increase, abundance, and comfort.
Your ruler, the Sun, moves into your sign on the 22-23. This is the time to shine, reinvent yourself, or come into the light in some significant manner. You feel more in charge, relevant, and on top of things. Mercury in your sign from the 27th is excellent for mental renewal and decisiveness as well. It's a favorable time to present, share, and decide. It’s a time for being quoted and noted!
The Full Moon on the 23rd can bring on revelations and epiphanies about your feelings or a close relationship. There could be new clients, invitations, and sudden interest in your services, or simply your presence!
On the 28-29, watch that you're not acting out in ways that jeopardize an important partnership or relationship. Some of you could be torn between going your own way and including someone or boosting a relationship. Through some conflict or restlessness, you might see ways to make meaningful improvements to your life. Mars moves into your resources sector on the 29th, energizing your desire to get comfortable, make money, or organize your personal possessions.

About Our Monthly Horoscopes:
Our detailed monthly horoscopes are designed to reveal and interpret the current transits of the Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Mars in your solar chart. Because these energies or transits do not unfold neatly into any given calendar month (many transits carry forward from one month to the next), you will find some of the energies continue from the previous month. For example, the Sun might transit the second house of your solar chart from June 21 to July 22, so that you will find a similar interpretation for this transit in both June and July’s horoscope. This is normal and expected. While new months can hold new energy, transits don’t abruptly change because the calendar month changes.
These monthly horoscopes also include an overview paragraph, as well as other energies specific to the month, such as retrogrades, eclipses, or major outer planet transits.
The Highlights section reveals lunar cycle dates. Lunar cycles repeat themselves approximately every 28 days, so it is normal to see the same lunar peaks, such as “Your Personal New Moon” and “Monthly career peak” repeat themselves from month to month, but with different dates. They serve as a helpful guide to cycle peaks in different areas of life, such as financial, career, romance, and partnership.
The horoscopes are divided into three groups or decanates, and the differences between the groups are subtle in parts and large in other parts. For those who prefer a whole sign approach to horoscopes (classic), simply read the first decanate regardless of your birthdate.
