CATS Leo is the sign of cats, both big and small. Felines of all types, wild and domestic should be in the news. If you’ve been thinking of sharing your life with a cat, now is the perfect time!
HEALTH Leo rules the heart, spine and circulatory system. With Jupiter in Leo we could see increased research, funding and better treatment and rehabilitation for those suffering from heart disease, stroke or spinal injury, and, with Leo being the sign of children, we could also see an increased focus on child education and health; conception, pregnancy and childbirth; child protection and child care.
WHAT IF YOU ARE A LEO? Those born under the zodiac sign of Leo or with a Leo ascendant can look forward to a great 12 months ahead. Expect improvements to your immediate environment and self-confidence coupled with feelings of freshness, expansion, enthusiasm and generosity. This 12-month period has the potential to be a relaxed, fortunate and hopeful time in your life where you can impress others and display natural charisma. This in turn will attract new and favourable opportunities, including the possibility of new romance or a new creative project. You are able to leave the past behind and focus on the future. Problems that in the past seemed challenging or insurmountable can be overcome as your perspective on life changes. This is your year to shine and really enjoy being yourself. Step forward with confidence and conviction in the direction of your dreams!

KEY ASTROLOGICAL EVENTS – JULY Communication planet Mercury begins moving forward again on 1st July after a three-week backwards journey through Cancer and Gemini. The Mercury retrograde period allows us to complete unfinished business and uncover hidden information. In the first half of July we can process whatever information was revealed during Mercury retrograde and take appropriate action. Mercury shifts from Gemini back into Cancer on the 13th. Venus joins Mercury and
FEATURED SIGN – CANCER From 21st June to 23rd July the sun travels through cardinal water sign Cancer. Cancer is the fourth sign of the zodiac with keywords ‘I feel’ and ‘I fluctuate’. Cancer’s symbol is the crab, an instinctive creature dwelling in the watery depths in the safety of its shell. Cancers are extremely sensitive. They love to mother and nurture others and have a strong attachment to home, family and community. At best Cancers are in touch with their feelings, and display kindness, love and compassion. They are highly emotional, usually love food and have a reputation for taking care of friends, family and workmates. Negatively, the Cancer individual can be moody, dependent, illogical, manipulative and insecure. Cancer rules the stomach, breasts and solar plexus. When Cancers are out of balance they can suffer from mood swings, digestive upsets, water retention and breast problems.

magnanimous Leo on the 23rd meeting up with lucky Jupiter on the 25th, an astrological event that happens only once a year. This should be a particularly favourable and optimistic week. So if you’ve got some wild plans or private dreams, now is the chance to take that first step towards making them happen. Those with birthdays around this date (22nd - 28th August) can look forward to a special year ahead. On the 26th, action planet
Mars leaves Libra after an eight-month stay and moves into ruling sign Scorpio. Mars is particularly powerful in Scorpio – so if you’ve been dragging your heels over the past few months, things should start to move forward again from late July onwards.
JULY FULL MOON The July full moon falls on the 12th in earth sign Capricorn opposite the sun in water sign Cancer. The Sabian symbol for this full moon (20-21° Capricorn) shows a relay race, symbolising the dynamic interchange between individuals who work together to maximise their collective success. Civilisation can be compared to a relay race where what we call ‘progress’ is in fact the result of humans pooling their skills and talents over thousands of years.
JULY NEW MOON New moons are all about new beginnings. The July new moon falls on the 27th in fire sign Leo. The Sabian symbol for 3-4º Leo shows an elderly man dressed in formal clothing standing next to his hunting trophies, representing pride in one’s own achievements. It is interesting to see the interplay between the full moon and new moon energies this month. The full moon highlights the importance of sharing skills in order to succeed, while the new moon focusses on the importance of personal achievement and its connection with self-esteem.
