Week of JUly 21, 2008

The Sun bids farewell to cozy Cancer this Wednesday and grooves into larger-than-life Leo until August 23rd. Those lazy days of summer, so fulfilling last week, could seem a little staid now. Leo craves excitement, action and romance--all on a Hollywood-sized scale. It's no surprise amusement parks see some of their highest turnouts while the sun is in Leo. This is the time to play like a kid without a curfew. Some scorching summer flirtation could be in the cards, not to mention the potential for heart-racing moments ripped right from a Harlequin novel. Leo's energy calls us to create. Projects that have been percolating are ready to be tackled and turned into a reality. A word to the wise: watch the tendency to make projects SO big that they never get off the ground. It's okay to start on a smaller scale, then build from there. On the flip side, Leo's energy challenges us to push past our limitations. If there were ever a time to bite off more than we can chew, this is it. Important lessons in delegating to a team could come in the process.

Aries: The Sun's tour of Leo supersizes your imagination. Be sure to capture your big ideas on paper, as they could be the seeds of a profitable and fulfilling future for you. You'll have to take the lead, though Aries, so don't wait for others to get the ball rolling. The desire for a fairy tale romance is ever-present for you, but this week it will be stronger than ever. Be clear about what that looks like in reality. Magic moments are great, but enduring qualities of trust, communication, and devotion are equally important. You need someone who brings the total package. If you're in a relationship work on cultivating the right balance of excitement and stability with your partner.

Taurus: Home is where the heart it for you this week. The Leo Sun will have you craving closer connections with people--especially close friends and relatives. Look for opportunities to gather with your family in a fun-filled way. Plan an outing that has you bond through laughter rather than drama. Women will play an important role in shaping your life from July 23rd through August 23rd. You may work together on a project or business idea that also has a humanitarian bent. Over the weekend, the Taurus Moon makes you the leader in all you do. Let your bossy side out to play.

Gemini: The Sun tours Leo from July 23rd til' August 23rd amplifying your desire for partnership. This is more of a platonic, meeting-of-the-minds groove than a romantic one (although you may team up with your true love). Collaborating with intelligent, creative forward-thinking folks will be incredibly fulfilling. Stop hiding out behind e-mail: it's time for more face-to-face interactions with the world. Heady Gemini can get obsessed with thoughts and ideas. Break free of this by shaking up your daily routine. Drive a different way to work, scout out new locales to hang out or exercise. Fresh faces and places get your mind whirling in positive, new directions.

Cancer: Put your mind on your money. The Sun tours Leo from July 23rd until August 23rd, pressing you to an improve an aspect of your work life. You may feel dissatisfied or uninspired with your current job and a bold change may be in order. Perhaps it's time to discuss a raise or promotion, or just leave altogether. Continue to be security-minded though. You'll want to have a new opportunity lined up before you walk out on a steady paycheck. Happily employed? Spend time strengthening the foundation of your career. Put structures in place that maximize efficiency. Spell out processes, create written policies or guidelines. Your body could use some TLC too. Add more raw and organic food to your diet this week to reawaken your energetic self.

Leo: The Sun grooves into Leo this week, amping up your self-confidence. Your personal New Year has arrived. It's time to move forward on a project that's near and dear to your heart. Heads up: you may have to work independently at first. Don't take it personally if people are slow to show enthusiasm. Dive in and do the groundwork yourself. Playmates will flock to your side as the project materializes into a more tangible form. In love, you'll want lots of attention but you'll have to give as good as you get. Let your starpower shine, and make room for your significant other to share the spotlight with you.

Virgo: Welcome to the surreal life. The Sun's tour of Leo puts you in a dreamy state from July 23rd through August 23rd. You may be questioning everything in your life, wondering what's next for you. Allow your spiritual side to unfold and shape your thoughts and actions. Books, workshops, services or group meditations that expand your consciousness would be both healing and awakening for you now. This is a powerful time to let go of anything that no longer serves you, such as bad habits or toxic relationships. Declutter your physical space too. Moving ahead will be far easier once you're no longer surrounded by reminders of the past.

Libra: It's teamwork time, Libra. The Sun sails through Leo--your sign of groups and friends--from July 23 til' August 23. In areas where you're struggling, consider joining forces with a new crowd of people. Your enthusiasm will blossom amidst the right players; conversely, the wrong group can zap your energy. Look for forward-thinking, offbeat, open-minded people to collaborate with. Your career could also benefit from the experience of working with a cutting-edge crew. Their fresh approach will open your mind to a new way of getting things done. Add a humanitarian touch to all you do. A charity race or marathon could be the perfect physical challenge to take on now.

Scorpio: Keep your proverbial powersuit pressed and ready. The Sun swoons into Leo for a month, revving up your ambitious energy. Get thee to some networking events and put your feelers out there. Serendipitous encounters with industry powerhouses could fall into your lap now. Make sure you're well dressed (for your given field) and well rested. This will amplify your confidence, putting you in the perfect position to charm those VIPs. A father figure could play an important role in your growth over the coming four weeks. Look for ways to incorporate his support and advice in your current goals.

Sagittarius: The Sun grooves through fiery Leo from July 23rd to August 23rd, waking you up inside. The inner work (and perhaps turmoil) you've experienced over the past few weeks transforms into a hugely positive learning experience now. Get ready to apply your new knowledge and incorporate the fresh insights into all that you do. Any efforts towards an entrepreneurial venture, published work, travel plan, or multicultural gathering will receive positive blessings from the Leo Sun. You need to feel both independent and connected to the whole now. If you are in a position of leadership, let go of the control and learn to empower others to fulfill the tasks at hand.

Capricorn: Meow! The Sun's tour of Leo infuses your life with a sizzling, sexy vibe from July 23rd til' August 23rd. Less is more, Capricorn. You'll find that you are most powerful when you only utter a few words. Creating an air of mystery around yourself will be fun. There is a possibility of stirring up jealousy, however, so be careful not to play too many games. Shared property could come under scrutiny, and you may need to redivide assets this week. Conversely, you may decide to officially put your name on a contract with another person--whether for business or love. An inner transformation has begun, which will build over the coming four weeks. Keep inspiring books on hand to help you direct this spiritual journey.

Aquarius: Love is in the air for Aquarius, as the Sun tours your seventh house of committed relationships through August 23rd. The solo routine won't satisfy you now. Let go of that fiercely independent energy so you can experience the joys of co-creating. This holds true for Aquarians who are in relationships too. Your progressive approach to commitment doesn't need to be a stopping point for your love life. Start communicating your needs aloud, even if you're just musing to friends. You'll find that others understand where you're coming from more readily than you expect. Shocker: they may even be inspired by it. That bohemian rhapsody could soon be the theme song of your love life after all.

Pisces: It's time to get organized, Pisces. The items on your to-do list can no longer be swept under the rug...or beach towel. Dealing with all the details may feel daunting, so you'll need to break tasks down into smaller steps. Start by creating a master list, then dividing it into sub-items. Check them off one by one between July 23rd and August 23rd. Relief will come quickly. A healthier lifestyle is calling you too. In addition to improving diet and exercise, you'll also want to distance yourself from situations that raise your stress level. Though it's hard to cut ties with the "crazymakers" (especially for your codependent sign), prioritizing your peace of mind is essential to your overall health.
