00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:07,599
Speaker 1: Welcome back to another episode of Astrology with Alice. I'm

2
00:00:07,599 --> 00:00:10,599
your host, Alice Bell, and we are back. I ended

3
00:00:10,679 --> 00:00:14,080
up taking a longer break and anticipated, and I'm here

4
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:18,280
to give you the LEO season forecast this month. And also,

5
00:00:18,359 --> 00:00:21,519
Mercury retrograde is finally over. It actually ended today, July

6
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:24,800
twenty third. It was honestly brutal this time. The first

7
00:00:24,839 --> 00:00:27,839
week of it started off fine for me and for

8
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:30,719
references started on June twenty ninth, so like the very

9
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:34,520
start of July was fine. I thought I was getting

10
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:38,039
off without anything major happening. And then the longer this

11
00:00:38,079 --> 00:00:40,520
mercury retrograde went on, the worse it got. Like the

12
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:42,960
more emotional it got, the more I mean, it was

13
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:45,399
in my twelfth house and I was literally like trapped

14
00:00:45,439 --> 00:00:47,920
in my home because of the air quality in New

15
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,840
York and just being eight months pregnant with that going

16
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:54,240
on too. But it's over today, so we can all

17
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:58,079
expect in this coming month LEO season to be moving

18
00:00:58,119 --> 00:01:02,280
forward with more clarity and your life will not feel

19
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:04,760
as slowed down as it may have for the past

20
00:01:04,799 --> 00:01:09,480
several weeks. And also I'm back to my regular schedule

21
00:01:09,519 --> 00:01:12,959
with this podcast. I'll be releasing new episodes every Thursday

22
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,280
from now until the very very end of August, when

23
00:01:16,359 --> 00:01:18,359
I have my baby and I'm going to take some

24
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,200
time off from podcasting at that point. So we've got

25
00:01:21,239 --> 00:01:23,879
some good episodes for the next I guess month and

26
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:25,840
a half at this point. But yeah, I'm so happy

27
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,200
it's Leo season. There's a lot going on this month.

28
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:31,040
So I mentioned how mercury retrograde has ended as of today.

29
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:34,560
We also have the North and South nodes changing signs

30
00:01:34,599 --> 00:01:36,599
in just a few days, which we'll get into. That's

31
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,560
a huge transit, Like I mean, that hasn't happened since

32
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:41,239
early twenty twenty five. I'll get into all of the

33
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:43,879
details in a second, but for now, know that the

34
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,719
nodes are changing signs, the North notes moving into Aquarius,

35
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,400
the South notes moving into Leo. For the next year

36
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,000
and a half. We also get our first solar eclipse

37
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:55,599
in Leo, which will amplify the Jupiter and Leo so

38
00:01:55,799 --> 00:02:00,239
much more. That transit will just feel a lot more heightened. Also,

39
00:02:00,359 --> 00:02:04,719
just expect bigger shifts occurring as eclipse season begins. July

40
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,879
felt very very slow, and that's about to change as

41
00:02:07,879 --> 00:02:10,240
we head into August. We'll get a solar eclipse in

42
00:02:10,319 --> 00:02:13,520
Leo during Leo season, and then at the very start

43
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,439
of Virgo season, we'll get a lunar eclipse in Pisces.

44
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:20,280
And not to get ahead of myself, but the lunar

45
00:02:20,319 --> 00:02:24,159
eclipse and Pisces that is on August twenty eighth, I

46
00:02:24,199 --> 00:02:26,759
believe twenty eighth or twenty ninth. I'm forgetting the exact

47
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:30,000
date of that is ruled by Jupiter in Leo. So

48
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,439
it's like both of these eclipses are really like bringing

49
00:02:33,479 --> 00:02:37,599
your attention back to that overarching transit of Jupiter now

50
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:41,000
in Leo, activating a new house and sign in your chart.

51
00:02:42,039 --> 00:02:44,319
I just have a couple of announcements before we get

52
00:02:44,319 --> 00:02:48,439
into the breakdown for the week ahead substeck in depth.

53
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,639
Leo season horoscopes are out now. Those came out yesterday

54
00:02:52,039 --> 00:02:54,680
on July twenty second, So if you want to understand

55
00:02:54,719 --> 00:02:56,879
what all of these transits mean for your exact chart

56
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,919
based on your rising sign, those are over there now.

57
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:03,319
Twenty five hundred to three thousand words written Perie Rising.

58
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,960
I've also done a few other articles and workshops recently

59
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:11,479
on Substack. I put out one on interpreting planetary returns

60
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,039
that one's free for everyone to read, like that's how

61
00:03:14,159 --> 00:03:16,800
to interpret a Jupiter return, a mercury of Mars, a

62
00:03:16,879 --> 00:03:20,759
Venus return to your chart. Also under the paid subscribers here,

63
00:03:20,879 --> 00:03:25,159
I've released a whole article on using zodiacal releasing to

64
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,919
time major career chapters throughout your life. I just find

65
00:03:29,039 --> 00:03:32,000
zodiical releasing to be interesting. It's not something I use

66
00:03:32,199 --> 00:03:35,199
in my readings necessarily, but I use it in my

67
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,759
own life. And when I'm like talking to friends and

68
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:39,319
family and they're just kind of wanting to know about

69
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,000
overall life direction or career related stuff, that's when I'll

70
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,960
pull up zodical releasing, because it really breaks down your

71
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,000
life into these bigger chapters of like, Okay, this is

72
00:03:48,039 --> 00:03:51,240
what I'm focused on for these ten to twenty years,

73
00:03:51,319 --> 00:03:53,599
and then there's gonna be a bigger shift ten years

74
00:03:53,639 --> 00:03:55,840
on from that. I don't know. For some people that

75
00:03:55,919 --> 00:03:58,479
might be too much into the future, but I find

76
00:03:58,479 --> 00:04:01,479
it brings me a lot of peace. No, like, Okay,

77
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:04,879
there is a time and place for certain career stuff

78
00:04:04,879 --> 00:04:07,560
to go on, and you never know what will happen

79
00:04:07,599 --> 00:04:09,719
twenty to thirty years from now and how you may

80
00:04:09,759 --> 00:04:12,840
be headed off in a completely different direction with the

81
00:04:12,879 --> 00:04:15,800
type of work that you want to be doing. And

82
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,000
also as we get into the fall, I'll probably start

83
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,839
talking a lot more about the astrology of parenthood and

84
00:04:20,959 --> 00:04:24,240
parent child synistry on Subsac in the coming weeks. I'm

85
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,040
also planning to share my birth story over there too

86
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,959
when that does happen, So if you want to follow along,

87
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,639
I will not be taking a break on Subsac. I

88
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,600
will not be taking a maternity to leave there. Content

89
00:04:36,639 --> 00:04:39,360
will keep flowing there throughout the rest of twenty twenty six.

90
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,120
With that being said, let's now get into the astrology

91
00:04:42,319 --> 00:04:46,519
for Leo season. So Week one is July twenty second

92
00:04:46,519 --> 00:04:49,160
through the twenty fifth. It's a shorter week because we're

93
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,399
starting Loo season halfway through this week. But we can't

94
00:04:52,399 --> 00:04:54,639
talk about Leo season without talking about the major like

95
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:58,160
underlying transit of just the Sun moving through the sign

96
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:00,759
of Leo from July twenty second to our twenty second

97
00:05:00,759 --> 00:05:05,000
this year, and the Sun's transit and also the upcoming

98
00:05:05,079 --> 00:05:08,240
solar eclipse in Leo. I mentioned this in the intro,

99
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,560
but those two transits, like the Sun and then the

100
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:14,560
subsequent solar eclipse, will amplify the year long transit of

101
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,800
Jupiter in Leo that we went over last month, and

102
00:05:17,879 --> 00:05:20,000
you may start to feel that Jupiter transit a lot

103
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:21,680
more in the next couple of weeks. So if you

104
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,519
really haven't felt that big of a shift with Jupiter

105
00:05:24,639 --> 00:05:27,959
changing signs and houses in your chart since June thirtieth,

106
00:05:28,519 --> 00:05:31,439
expect that to come into play a lot more as

107
00:05:31,439 --> 00:05:35,319
we get into the next couple of weeks. With longer

108
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:39,360
transits like Jupiter or Saturn, you need the shorter transit.

109
00:05:39,399 --> 00:05:41,160
It's like a new moon or a full moon or

110
00:05:41,199 --> 00:05:44,040
a Sun or Mars transit to come along and trigger

111
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:47,839
that longer transit to feel it more intensely. I also

112
00:05:47,879 --> 00:05:51,000
want to say that this Leo season will set the

113
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:55,040
stage for the Mars retrograde that will happen partially in

114
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:58,079
Leo in twenty twenty seven, and Mars is also going

115
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:01,040
to move into Leo throughout October and November of this year,

116
00:06:01,519 --> 00:06:03,959
So it could be interesting to see how whatever you

117
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,480
start thinking about more intensely this month during Leo season

118
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:13,639
or start planning for start developing, those themes will continue

119
00:06:13,959 --> 00:06:18,199
to develop and get more prominent throughout this fall, so

120
00:06:18,319 --> 00:06:20,800
an idea for something new may come to you this month,

121
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,079
but then maybe you want to take greater action on

122
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:25,360
it once Mars moves into LEO in the same part

123
00:06:25,399 --> 00:06:29,920
of your chart throughout October November, and again because we

124
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:33,519
get a Mars retrograde from January up until April first

125
00:06:33,639 --> 00:06:36,759
of twenty twenty seven, you could spend a good chunk

126
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:40,600
of the earlier part of twenty twenty seven thinking about

127
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:44,079
the Leo World House themes too, but just to go

128
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:48,519
over LEO season themes in general. It's really a time

129
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:52,720
for reconnecting with your personal creativity and finding new ways

130
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:56,480
to express yourself, whether that's through like an artistic practice

131
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,279
or your personal style, or how you show up on

132
00:06:59,319 --> 00:07:02,920
social media, some other type of like activity or hobby

133
00:07:02,959 --> 00:07:04,920
you do. And I want to prioritize how it's like

134
00:07:04,959 --> 00:07:09,120
for your own enjoyment, not necessarily to get somewhere or

135
00:07:09,439 --> 00:07:11,920
be super productive, like you're just focusing on like what

136
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:15,040
lights me up in this moment. And it can also

137
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,639
be a time of returning to childhood interest and really

138
00:07:17,759 --> 00:07:21,800
reconnecting with what makes me me, Like what am I

139
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:26,040
particularly interested in? And I'm not following this because it's

140
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:29,839
trendy right now or someone else is doing it and

141
00:07:29,959 --> 00:07:32,639
at work and through maybe some type of side hobby

142
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,759
or passion project, you could find yourself wanting to experiment

143
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,519
a bit more. This could come through in your personal

144
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,720
style or the branding of your own business too, like

145
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,759
you're wanting to put less pressure on yourself in your

146
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,519
career and again with being productive, so that you have

147
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:53,160
time to explore different interests. And these themes of creativity,

148
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,920
self expression, connecting with your inner child, they're gonna apply

149
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,160
to the Leo worldhouse of your chart. So I'll just

150
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,240
run down the by rising sign now so you can

151
00:08:02,319 --> 00:08:04,759
kind of get a better idea of what can I

152
00:08:04,839 --> 00:08:08,399
expect based on my own chart. So for Fire sign risings,

153
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,800
Leo Airy Sagittarius risings, it is quite literal in that

154
00:08:12,439 --> 00:08:14,000
this time of year has a lot more to do

155
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:17,800
with your sense of identity, your personal creativity, how you

156
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:21,079
can be more confident in who you are and explore

157
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:25,720
different areas of interest, different sides of yourself. For Leo

158
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:30,040
Rising specifically, this is a bigger month because of all

159
00:08:30,079 --> 00:08:33,360
the action taking place in your first house, so you

160
00:08:33,399 --> 00:08:37,759
can kind of expect more significant life developments occurring, like

161
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,759
things that don't happen to you often or realizations about

162
00:08:40,799 --> 00:08:42,320
who you want to be what you want to do

163
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:45,639
next coming up in a major way. And then also

164
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,320
I would say like the theme of learning and just

165
00:08:48,399 --> 00:08:51,519
following whatever you're curious about would probably come up to

166
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,559
And then for Earth sign rising so Taurus Virgo and

167
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:57,480
Capricorn riisins, this may be a month with that is

168
00:08:57,519 --> 00:08:59,919
more geared towards your mental health or your inner cell

169
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,240
and tending to things in your personal life, whether that's

170
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:07,480
spending more time with family or at home, or working

171
00:09:07,519 --> 00:09:10,600
on yourself through like therapy or other forms of healing.

172
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:14,399
There'll be this emphasis on self improvement and really wanting

173
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:18,559
to understand yourself better. And then for AirSign risings gem

174
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,840
and I Leebra Aquarius risings, this is a more social

175
00:09:22,159 --> 00:09:25,679
period of the year for you, So this theme of

176
00:09:25,759 --> 00:09:28,279
relationships and how you connect with people and how you

177
00:09:28,279 --> 00:09:31,399
can communicate better within your relationships might come up a

178
00:09:31,399 --> 00:09:34,440
lot more. And there may be more social activities or

179
00:09:34,519 --> 00:09:37,840
dating that's going on at this time, or bigger changes

180
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:41,600
happening in existing relationships. So maybe you're taking the next

181
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:44,519
step with your partner, or you're realizing is this relationship

182
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:48,000
right for me? Getting clear on like what do you like,

183
00:09:48,039 --> 00:09:50,240
who do you value spending time with, and like who

184
00:09:50,279 --> 00:09:52,120
do you want to spend your time and energy on?

185
00:09:53,159 --> 00:09:56,600
And then for Water Sign Rising, so Cancer Scorpiopis's risings,

186
00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:00,000
this is a more work focus time of year for you.

187
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,080
How can you bring that creativity and that different size

188
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:06,519
of your personality into the work projects you're developing or

189
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:08,840
even building out your own business. I know, like the

190
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:12,879
theme of like entrepreneurial type stuff is really big for

191
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:16,639
Cancer Risings right now, So looking into that specifically, like

192
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:18,399
do I want to start my own business? Do I

193
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:21,320
want more independence over my work? But for all Water

194
00:10:21,399 --> 00:10:25,519
Sign Risings, just kind of wanting greater structure or thinking

195
00:10:25,519 --> 00:10:30,240
about what comes next in your career. Also happening right

196
00:10:30,279 --> 00:10:33,519
away in LEO season is that Mercury will be stationing

197
00:10:33,879 --> 00:10:37,399
direct at sixteen degrees of cancer on July twenty third.

198
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,759
This will end it's more than three week long retrograde

199
00:10:40,759 --> 00:10:43,639
that's been going on since June twenty ninth, so throughout

200
00:10:43,639 --> 00:10:46,200
all of July up until this point, we've had mercury

201
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:49,759
retrograde going on. It'll be nice to finally receive greater

202
00:10:49,879 --> 00:10:52,320
mental clarity or be able to move ahead. With new

203
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,679
plans more easily. It's kind of crazy, like before mercury

204
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:58,840
retrograde started, I was so excited about these new areas

205
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,120
of my business that were developed being and new ideas

206
00:11:01,159 --> 00:11:05,840
coming to me, and then mercury retrograde totally made unmotivated, tired,

207
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:10,639
uninterested in all of this stuff. So it'll be nice

208
00:11:10,639 --> 00:11:12,639
to get back on track if you felt the same

209
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:15,600
way too, And also if you've just felt more emotional

210
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:20,200
about certain relationship dynamics or things happening specifically in your

211
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:23,240
home and family life, that may clear up a lot

212
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:26,600
more over the next few days, and those things may

213
00:11:26,639 --> 00:11:29,200
get resolved or just not be weighing on you as much.

214
00:11:30,039 --> 00:11:33,679
Mercury will remain in Cancer until August ninth, though, so

215
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:37,120
this underlying theme of like stuff going on with home

216
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:42,080
or family in those relationships, or developments happening with moving

217
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:45,320
or your living space, or just like reflections on childhood

218
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:48,039
in the past, those themes may still linger a bit

219
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:51,440
up until August ninth, but just expect to feel less

220
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:55,879
frustrated or emotional than you have been about those themes recently.

221
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:58,919
And as we'll get into a bit later, Mars will

222
00:11:58,919 --> 00:12:02,559
move into Cancer on August eleventh, just two days after

223
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:06,240
Mercury leaves cancer on August ninth. So it's worth noting

224
00:12:06,399 --> 00:12:08,879
how there will still be themes to work through and

225
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,320
developments to occur in the Cancer world house of your

226
00:12:11,399 --> 00:12:15,240
chart if you didn't see what you thought may happen

227
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:19,480
there this past month because of the retrograde slowing everything down.

228
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:22,159
So Mars sweeping in there in a couple of weeks

229
00:12:22,159 --> 00:12:25,240
from now will help speed things up in that cancer

230
00:12:25,279 --> 00:12:28,960
world house, and it's more likely you'll be taking action

231
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:32,840
on the topics and themes associated with that house. There's

232
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,080
just been like a lot of back to back cancer

233
00:12:35,159 --> 00:12:39,679
transits this spring and summer, Like first throughout Gemini season

234
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:43,679
we had Venus and cancer, and then Mercury joined Venus

235
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,519
there and Jupiter was still in cancer, and then it

236
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:49,879
was literal cancer season and Mercury retrogading cancer. Now there's

237
00:12:49,919 --> 00:12:51,559
going to be Mars in cancer. It's kind of like

238
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:54,759
that part of your chart has had a lot of emphasis,

239
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:57,879
and I mentioned like how things are very much shifting

240
00:12:57,919 --> 00:13:00,840
to Leo this month, but it's still worth noting, am

241
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:03,879
I still seeing like themes linger here even though Jupiter's

242
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:07,759
not in that party? Your chart anymore, Okay, and then

243
00:13:07,759 --> 00:13:10,240
we are moving onto week two, which is July twenty

244
00:13:10,279 --> 00:13:14,080
six to August first. This year, we've had a series

245
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:18,759
of outer planets and other longer transits changing signs. Saturn

246
00:13:19,159 --> 00:13:22,639
and Neptune both moved to Ares, Urinus moved to Gemini,

247
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:27,080
Jupiter just moved to Leo, Chiron moved to Taurus. The

248
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:31,559
nodes aren't planets, but they are changing signs on July

249
00:13:31,639 --> 00:13:35,159
twenty six, and the nodes indicate where eclipses are happening

250
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,759
for about a two year long period, so it's a

251
00:13:37,759 --> 00:13:40,600
big deal that these these elements of the chart are

252
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:44,200
changing signs, and the North note is moving into Aquarius,

253
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:46,120
and the South note is moving into Leo, like I

254
00:13:46,159 --> 00:13:48,759
said on July twenty six, and they're going to remain

255
00:13:48,799 --> 00:13:52,240
there until March twenty six, twenty twenty eight, So I

256
00:13:52,279 --> 00:13:54,919
believe that's a little over a year and a half.

257
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:59,120
Wherever the nodes are transiting indicates where you will be

258
00:13:59,159 --> 00:14:02,159
experiencing them. A major changes take place for that year

259
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:05,399
and a half to two year long period. So this

260
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:08,879
month in particular, with a solar eclipse triggering that South

261
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,799
node in Leo transit, and also the full moon and

262
00:14:11,799 --> 00:14:14,519
Aquarius will happen in that same area that the north

263
00:14:14,519 --> 00:14:17,879
node is moving into. You'll start to see how there

264
00:14:17,879 --> 00:14:21,480
may be new beginnings unfolding, especially in the Leo worldhouse

265
00:14:21,519 --> 00:14:25,799
of your chart, but also possible endings or bigger life

266
00:14:25,799 --> 00:14:28,679
shifts that are about to take place there too, and

267
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:32,279
out of this year and a half or so long

268
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:34,879
transit up the North node and Aquarius south. Note in Leo,

269
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:37,720
if you have planets or angles in your chart that

270
00:14:37,759 --> 00:14:41,440
are in Leon Aquarius, it's really important to note when

271
00:14:41,799 --> 00:14:46,159
do the nodes reach those exact degrees of those chart placements,

272
00:14:46,639 --> 00:14:48,320
So like, for instance, I have a lot of stuff

273
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:52,200
in like early Aquarius like six seven degrees of Aquarius,

274
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:55,200
not so much. I don't have anything in like the

275
00:14:55,279 --> 00:14:59,600
later degrees like twenty to twenty nine. So I really

276
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:01,600
want to pay attention to the later part of this

277
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:04,799
nodal transit, like when the north node moves down into

278
00:15:04,919 --> 00:15:07,720
early Aquarius, like that's probably going to be the biggest

279
00:15:07,759 --> 00:15:11,440
period of shifts for me, or when I notice like

280
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:14,360
the themes of those chart placements coming into effect a

281
00:15:14,399 --> 00:15:17,720
lot more so if you have Leo Aquarius in your chart,

282
00:15:18,279 --> 00:15:22,559
observing the exact few weeks or month that the North

283
00:15:22,639 --> 00:15:25,840
node or the South node is moving across those chart placements,

284
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:30,080
and how the themes associated with those elements of your

285
00:15:30,159 --> 00:15:32,559
chart are brought up a lot more strongly during that

286
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:36,080
specific month. And the last time the nodes were in

287
00:15:36,919 --> 00:15:39,840
Leo and Aquarius was throughout twenty seventeen and twenty eighteen,

288
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,639
so you may see similar themes being brought back up

289
00:15:42,679 --> 00:15:45,240
again throughout the end of twenty twenty six into twenty

290
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:50,720
twenty seven. That or taking place, I guess that's nine

291
00:15:50,799 --> 00:15:53,840
almost ten years ago now. And of course you'll want

292
00:15:53,879 --> 00:15:55,679
to look at the two houses in your chart ruled

293
00:15:55,679 --> 00:15:57,919
by Leo and Aquarius. How are you trying to strike

294
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:01,840
a balance between the topics of those opposing houses. How

295
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:04,559
are the themes of one house influencing changes going on

296
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:06,679
in the other, or you're bringing in themes of one

297
00:16:06,679 --> 00:16:09,559
house into the other house. There's just going to be

298
00:16:09,639 --> 00:16:12,879
back and forth activity across those two houses in your chart,

299
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:15,919
and that's the area where you're going to see the

300
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:19,120
most major changes take place from now until early twenty

301
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:22,360
twenty eight for everyone. Though, we can also just look at, like,

302
00:16:22,679 --> 00:16:26,159
what are themes associated with the signs of Leo and Aquarius,

303
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:28,279
and how are those themes being brought up for like

304
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:31,519
the world right now, and how are we finding a

305
00:16:31,559 --> 00:16:34,759
balance between Leo and Aquarius as signs. So when I

306
00:16:34,759 --> 00:16:38,600
think about Aquarius, it's a lot about community and networking

307
00:16:38,679 --> 00:16:43,519
and innovation and rebelling against this status quo, like wanting

308
00:16:43,559 --> 00:16:47,080
to do things differently and be your own individual and

309
00:16:47,159 --> 00:16:52,159
also promote change and kind of like able to see

310
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:56,080
how things could be done more efficiently and better, and

311
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:59,519
that may be far ahead of what's currently taking place

312
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:02,679
right now. Well, if you have Aquarius planets in your chart,

313
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:05,000
you probably understand what I'm saying, Like you may often

314
00:17:05,039 --> 00:17:07,680
have like ideas for stuff that you want to do,

315
00:17:07,759 --> 00:17:09,599
but no one else has caught up to you quite yet.

316
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:13,279
So that's kind of the vibe we're moving into. And

317
00:17:13,319 --> 00:17:16,680
I've always said, like with Pluto and Aquarius, now that

318
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:19,000
we're really going to start to feel that Pluto and

319
00:17:19,039 --> 00:17:22,799
Aquarius transit a lot more once the North node moves

320
00:17:22,799 --> 00:17:26,960
into Aquarius and eclipses start triggering Pluto there too. So

321
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:30,799
I just see like a lot of transformation in society,

322
00:17:30,839 --> 00:17:35,960
coming up with new innovations, with science, with coming together

323
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:41,119
as a community to promote change and kind of get

324
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:43,720
rid of these structures that just aren't working for us anymore.

325
00:17:44,599 --> 00:17:46,599
And then on the opposite end of that is the

326
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:49,039
South Nord and Leo, and Leo is so much about

327
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:53,000
the attention being on you, and again we're turning to

328
00:17:53,039 --> 00:17:55,200
those Leo themes who went over at the start, like

329
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:59,759
connecting to your creativity, wanting to rediscover joy, and like

330
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:03,240
in your everyday life, not being afraid to experiment. So

331
00:18:03,279 --> 00:18:06,400
I almost see the two of these signs blending right

332
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:11,279
now is like, how can you lean into your own

333
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:14,160
like individual, creative self, and how in turn is that

334
00:18:14,279 --> 00:18:18,680
helping to promote change or bring greater solutions into the world.

335
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,519
It'll be interesting to see what things look like two

336
00:18:22,559 --> 00:18:25,200
years from now and how much this balance of Leo

337
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:29,279
Aquarius shifts, like the way people show up online or

338
00:18:29,319 --> 00:18:33,200
show up with in the workplace. I felt like with

339
00:18:33,279 --> 00:18:36,039
the North note in Pisces, especially like when it was

340
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:39,640
conjunct Saturn and Neptune, things felt very like confusing or

341
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:44,440
hazy and just uncertain about what the future holds. And

342
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:47,960
now I see like the North note moving into Aquarius,

343
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:49,680
it's more like I want to take action. I want

344
00:18:49,759 --> 00:18:52,920
this change to happen, and I have a vision for

345
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:55,720
what I want to be doing next. Continuing on with

346
00:18:55,759 --> 00:18:58,160
these Aquarius themes, there will be a full moon and

347
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:01,359
Aquarius happening on July twenty nine, nin at six degrees

348
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:04,559
of Aquarius. And this full moon is pretty significant because

349
00:19:04,559 --> 00:19:07,839
it'll be exactly conjunct Pluto and Aquarius, and it will

350
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:10,839
be opposite to Jupiter and Leo. So the Sun is

351
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:14,519
going to be conjunct Jupiter in Leo and the Sun

352
00:19:14,519 --> 00:19:16,400
and Jupiter are going to be exactly opposite to the

353
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:20,440
Moon and Pluto in Aquarius. So it's really triggering the

354
00:19:20,519 --> 00:19:24,960
Jupiter Pluto opposition and also awakening that major cradle aspect

355
00:19:25,039 --> 00:19:28,440
between Jupiter, Pluto, Urinus, and Neptune that I went over

356
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:31,599
in last month's forecast. So again it's bringing up this

357
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:34,799
theme of like, how can you better balance community involvement

358
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:38,079
with time spent on your own interests? Or you're kind

359
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:40,839
of making a lot of realizations about what sets me apart,

360
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,960
how might I lean into that more. There could also

361
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:46,240
be a situation that you're wanting to break free of

362
00:19:46,319 --> 00:19:49,079
at this time, or you're noticing that you're undergoing a

363
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:53,119
lot of positive transformation or change around the end of

364
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:58,599
July that likely pertains to the Aquarius worldhouse of your chart,

365
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:01,240
Like is there some you need to get rid of

366
00:20:01,279 --> 00:20:04,880
there or something you need to release in order to

367
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:09,799
move forward? Differently, there might be limiting relationships, mindsets, are

368
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:11,960
situations that you want to leave behind with this full

369
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:15,319
moon too, as you prepare for that next new six

370
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:19,359
month chapter to start up once that solar eclipse in

371
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:22,839
Leo occurs about two weeks later on August twelfth. So

372
00:20:23,039 --> 00:20:25,480
I overall, I'm seeing this full moon as an opportunity

373
00:20:25,519 --> 00:20:28,519
to step more into your personal power, like kind of

374
00:20:28,559 --> 00:20:30,759
take back, like what who do I want in my life?

375
00:20:30,759 --> 00:20:32,759
What types of situations do I want to engage in?

376
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:36,119
If it's not working, it's time to go. In Aquarius

377
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:38,519
is such a relationship oriented sign, so it could be

378
00:20:38,599 --> 00:20:41,400
that you're a lot busier with social activities around the

379
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:43,400
time of this full moon, or just that theme of

380
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:46,319
like relationships, who do I want to surround myself with?

381
00:20:46,759 --> 00:20:50,599
That becomes something that you're thinking about a lot more. Also,

382
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:54,480
the ruling planet of this full moon in Aquarius is Saturn,

383
00:20:54,839 --> 00:20:57,759
which will have just stationed retrograde in Aries on the

384
00:20:57,759 --> 00:20:59,960
twenty six, just a few days before the full month.

385
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:04,000
So in addition to seeing how greater change or realizations

386
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,200
are being brought to the Aquarius world house of your

387
00:21:06,279 --> 00:21:08,720
chart at the end of July, you could also be

388
00:21:08,799 --> 00:21:11,160
looking at the Ares world house of your chart and

389
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:15,200
how are you thinking about wanting to restructure things in

390
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:19,160
that area or go about your commitments and responsibilities differently.

391
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:22,720
There there may even be a connection you're seeing between

392
00:21:22,759 --> 00:21:24,960
the themes of the Ares worldhouse of your chart and

393
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:26,839
the themes of the Aquarius world house of your chart.

394
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:28,680
So let me just give a couple of examples to

395
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:31,559
see how this could play out. So let's say you're

396
00:21:31,599 --> 00:21:35,200
an Aquarius rising and you have this full moon happening

397
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:37,039
in your first house, so that may bring up a

398
00:21:37,079 --> 00:21:40,000
lot of realizations about who am I, what do I

399
00:21:40,039 --> 00:21:44,440
want from myself? Bigger life stuff happening, or kind of

400
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:47,240
more attention on you from other people, or there's like

401
00:21:47,279 --> 00:21:49,319
a willingness to put yourself out there a bit more

402
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:51,680
and kind of thinking about how do I want to

403
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:55,319
show up in the world. And then that has this

404
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:59,119
connection with Saturn and Ares transiting your third house. So

405
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:00,839
it could be that maybe you're wanting to bring more

406
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:04,519
of your personality first house into things like writing or

407
00:22:04,599 --> 00:22:09,559
content creation or other communication based work with the Saturn

408
00:22:09,799 --> 00:22:12,519
the ruling planet of the full moon in your third

409
00:22:12,799 --> 00:22:16,039
whereas if you're a Taurus rising, you have the full

410
00:22:16,039 --> 00:22:19,160
moon in your tenth house, so it could bring up

411
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:22,279
more activity in your career or realizations about what you

412
00:22:22,319 --> 00:22:24,359
want to be doing with work in the long term.

413
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:27,000
But then the ruling planet of that full moon is

414
00:22:27,039 --> 00:22:31,279
Saturn and aries transiting your twelfth house, So maybe it's

415
00:22:31,319 --> 00:22:33,799
that you're kind of like letting go of something at

416
00:22:33,839 --> 00:22:36,839
work that's not serving you anymore, or it could be

417
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:41,279
that twelfth house themes like mental health or spirituality are

418
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:44,559
finding their way back into what you want to be

419
00:22:44,599 --> 00:22:48,279
doing in your career. Always so important to look at

420
00:22:48,279 --> 00:22:50,880
where is the ruling planet of any lunation. It's going

421
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:53,960
to give you so much more insight. Also, on the

422
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,480
same day as the full moon, we got another transit happening.

423
00:22:57,039 --> 00:23:02,359
Venus and Virgo will square Mars and Yemini. So this

424
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:05,680
again brings in the topic of relationships into the full moon,

425
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:09,240
and we'll probably have you deciding like who do you

426
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:12,640
want to put energy into and also just being pretty

427
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:15,039
busy with social activities right at the end of July.

428
00:23:15,839 --> 00:23:19,960
Because both Virgo and Gemini are signs ruled by Mercury.

429
00:23:20,039 --> 00:23:22,279
It also may be that you have more motivation to

430
00:23:22,319 --> 00:23:26,680
put into writing, speaking, or other types of communication projects

431
00:23:26,759 --> 00:23:29,799
for a few days, and ideas and like new plans

432
00:23:29,839 --> 00:23:32,319
to get kind of a content off the ground or

433
00:23:32,839 --> 00:23:38,039
writing or research going could come together pretty quickly. However,

434
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:40,359
on the downside of that, maybe you do feel very

435
00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:43,599
mentally like on or just like harder to relax, or

436
00:23:43,599 --> 00:23:45,799
you're just feeling a bit anxious for a couple of

437
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:49,319
days right around the twenty ninth, So finding ways to

438
00:23:49,319 --> 00:23:51,680
get out of your mind and reconnect with your body

439
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:55,440
maybe super important to do right around this, like full

440
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:59,279
moontime frame two and Venus and Virgo thankfully does have

441
00:23:59,319 --> 00:24:02,160
that like well known aspect to it, so could be

442
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:04,359
great to like sign up for a workout class or

443
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:07,880
take a walk outside or kind of nurture your body

444
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:10,640
through like healthier foods or like taking a longer time

445
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:13,240
with your skincare routine at night, just like bringing it

446
00:24:13,279 --> 00:24:15,359
back to like, okay, let me connect with my body

447
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:17,759
and get out of like being so mentally like on

448
00:24:19,079 --> 00:24:23,200
moving on to week three August second through eighth, So

449
00:24:23,759 --> 00:24:28,599
about a week after Venus squares Mars on July twenty ninth,

450
00:24:29,039 --> 00:24:33,160
we get Venus moving into Libra from August sixth through

451
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:37,519
September tenth, and Libra is one of the signs Venus rules,

452
00:24:37,559 --> 00:24:39,839
so it loves to be here. As we get a

453
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:42,920
bit further into August again, you're gonna see a greater

454
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:46,039
emphasis on partnerships in your life. I would say the

455
00:24:46,039 --> 00:24:49,599
Folmon and Aquarius is more about a community and kind

456
00:24:49,599 --> 00:24:53,160
of bigger groups, but Libra is more about that, like

457
00:24:53,319 --> 00:24:55,880
one on one time you have with people, whether that's

458
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:59,400
platonic or romantic. So maybe it could be that you're

459
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:02,440
collaborating with people at work a bit more, or strengthening

460
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:06,480
certain friendships, or spending more time with your partner, or

461
00:25:06,519 --> 00:25:10,640
feeling more up for dating, and just overall noticing how

462
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:13,720
can you maybe accomplish more with the help of someone else,

463
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:18,480
or how are you coming together with someone and deepening

464
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:23,680
certain relationships. Also areas like art, design and fashion, maybe

465
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:27,599
greater interest during these several weeks too, Or you could

466
00:25:27,599 --> 00:25:31,160
be interested in attending cultural offerings around your city or

467
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:35,279
doing things like visiting the museum or taking some typid

468
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:38,519
day trip to see a specific site that has a

469
00:25:38,599 --> 00:25:42,200
history behind it. When I think of Libra as a sign,

470
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:46,440
I think of it as combining style and esthetic with

471
00:25:47,079 --> 00:25:50,559
this theme of education and wanting to learn something new.

472
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:53,839
This is definitely one of the more pleasant transits of

473
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:57,079
this month. I actually really like this first full week

474
00:25:57,079 --> 00:26:00,359
of August because we get another positive transit TOOLO on

475
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:04,279
August sixth is that the Sun and Leo will trying

476
00:26:04,759 --> 00:26:10,799
Saturn and Ares. So seeing this nice link between the

477
00:26:10,839 --> 00:26:14,480
fire signs and how things might be flowing easily between

478
00:26:14,519 --> 00:26:16,319
the Leo world house of your chart and the Ares

479
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:18,960
world house of your chart may also just be easier

480
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:22,039
to like commit to new responsibilities or new work around

481
00:26:22,039 --> 00:26:25,559
this time and just sit down and be productive. It

482
00:26:25,599 --> 00:26:28,319
could feel like you're seeing results from the effort that

483
00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:33,039
you're putting in, like less frustration overall, or you're just

484
00:26:33,079 --> 00:26:36,240
able to go about your day be more productive and

485
00:26:36,279 --> 00:26:39,759
not feel so stressed out about that. So, yeah, not

486
00:26:39,799 --> 00:26:41,960
as much happening during that week. So let's move on

487
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:45,519
to week four, which is August ninth through the fifteenth,

488
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:49,319
where a lot is taking place, mainly a solar eclipse

489
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:53,759
but before we get to that, there is an aspect

490
00:26:53,839 --> 00:26:56,559
Venus and Libra will make in this fourth week of

491
00:26:56,599 --> 00:27:00,640
the month, So around August ten through eleven, Venus and

492
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:04,519
Libra will oppose neptune and aries, which may have you

493
00:27:04,559 --> 00:27:07,319
feeling a bit more sensitive when it comes to relationships.

494
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:10,400
It could feel kind of like a mini Mercury retrograde

495
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:13,880
where you misinterpret what someone says to you, or you

496
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:16,960
feel a bit uncertain about where you stand in a relationship.

497
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:21,079
On another note, this transit may have you reconnecting with

498
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:24,240
an artistic or a spiritual practice and kind of leaning

499
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:26,960
into that part of your brain a bit more, or

500
00:27:27,079 --> 00:27:29,759
returning to that theme of relationships, how can you be

501
00:27:29,839 --> 00:27:31,799
there to help someone in a bigger way or be

502
00:27:31,839 --> 00:27:36,680
more compassionate and like giving to people, Just understanding where

503
00:27:37,839 --> 00:27:39,920
I guess like this is a theme that has kept

504
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:42,440
popping up because I feel like I keep talking about it,

505
00:27:42,519 --> 00:27:45,519
Like where, who and what are you giving your energy

506
00:27:45,559 --> 00:27:49,240
to And is that burning you out or leaving you

507
00:27:49,279 --> 00:27:52,720
frustrated or are you finding that by putting more effort

508
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:54,640
into someone, you're able to go deeper and have like

509
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:57,480
a more meaningful connection. So just really taking stock of

510
00:27:57,519 --> 00:28:01,240
like am I getting in return the energy that I'm

511
00:28:01,279 --> 00:28:05,720
putting out to people around like this August tenth eleventh period.

512
00:28:06,519 --> 00:28:09,359
Then on August eleventh, MARS will change signs as it

513
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:12,920
leaves Jemini and moves into Cancer until September twenty seventh.

514
00:28:13,559 --> 00:28:16,640
This is a throwback to cancer season themes. But like

515
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:19,200
I said earlier, maybe you have more motivation and a

516
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:23,319
desire to take action on the topics associated with that

517
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:26,799
cancer worldhouse in your chart than you felt during actual

518
00:28:26,839 --> 00:28:30,640
cancer season. However, MARS doesn't do that well in cancer,

519
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:33,799
and it does bring up a lot of emotional frustration

520
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:37,920
or taking things way too personally, just quick to get

521
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:42,359
like worked up about stuff, but then also not knowing

522
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:44,599
how to confront people when you're upset. Like take it

523
00:28:44,599 --> 00:28:46,759
from someone, I have MARS and cancer in my birth chart.

524
00:28:47,279 --> 00:28:50,960
It's like the biggest struggle. However, looking at this transit

525
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:53,319
on a more positive note, maybe you just want to

526
00:28:53,319 --> 00:28:56,119
engage in work or relationships that you feel more emotionally

527
00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:58,480
connected to, Like it could just be harder for a

528
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:01,400
few weeks to do something just for the sake of

529
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:03,920
being productive and staying busy. There has to be this

530
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:07,480
deeper purpose to it, or again, this theme of home

531
00:29:07,519 --> 00:29:11,079
and family is resurfacing, like how might you make changes

532
00:29:11,119 --> 00:29:14,400
to your living situation or idust miss your living space

533
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:18,759
like decorating, renovating, making little improvements here and there. Or

534
00:29:18,799 --> 00:29:21,480
you could be connecting with family members. However, because it's

535
00:29:21,519 --> 00:29:24,319
Mars we're talking about, maybe there is something you need

536
00:29:24,359 --> 00:29:28,200
to speak up about with family, or it's just requiring

537
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:31,799
more energy like this topic of like family dynamics and

538
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:36,559
connecting with them, or maybe addressing things that feel uncomfortable

539
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:40,839
or sensitive from childhood that may likely come up again too.

540
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:44,400
And then we've got another planet changing signs this week.

541
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:48,440
Mercury will move into Leo on August ninth until August

542
00:29:48,519 --> 00:29:51,680
twenty fifth, so it just has a very brief like

543
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:55,119
a little over two weeks stay in Leo. However, it'll

544
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:59,039
be great for creative brainstorming and coming up with more inspiration.

545
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,680
Remember last year when Mercury was in Leo for a

546
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:06,400
long time because it went retrograde there. I read the

547
00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:10,400
book Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert. She also wrote Eat, Pray, Love,

548
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:13,680
but that was a book all about bringing creativity into

549
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:17,960
your everyday life, exploring what you're curious about kind of

550
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:23,000
finding new outlets for creativity. So on that note, just

551
00:30:23,039 --> 00:30:26,200
like seeing how you may be more interested in learning

552
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:30,559
about creative practices or ways you can express yourself. You

553
00:30:30,599 --> 00:30:34,400
may also feel more confident in speaking up and voicing

554
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:38,279
your personal opinions, or like leaning into your personality a

555
00:30:38,279 --> 00:30:41,039
bit more without fearing what if, like other people are

556
00:30:41,039 --> 00:30:43,200
going to disagree with you or what they might think.

557
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:46,519
I love people who have Mercury and Leo in their

558
00:30:46,519 --> 00:30:49,039
birth chart. It's just like they have a more animated,

559
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:53,000
like funny way of speaking, and they speak so passionately

560
00:30:53,039 --> 00:30:56,599
about stuff. So maybe we all get some of that

561
00:30:56,759 --> 00:30:59,960
energy for a couple of weeks in August. Also, Leo

562
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:05,240
tends to interest that relate back to like childhood and pregnancy,

563
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:07,519
and maybe it's that you want to learn more about

564
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:11,799
these types of topics too. Then on August twelfth, we

565
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:15,279
get a solar eclipse in Leo. This solar eclipse will

566
00:31:15,319 --> 00:31:18,039
take place at twenty degrees of Leo. It's also going

567
00:31:18,079 --> 00:31:20,880
to be the first of two eclipses we'll have in

568
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:24,720
Leo over the next year. So the second one will

569
00:31:24,759 --> 00:31:27,200
be exactly a year from now, in August of twenty

570
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:30,559
twenty seven, So it'll be interesting to note how whatever

571
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:34,880
new beginning or life direction begins to take hold in

572
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:38,359
that Leo wruldhouse of your chart around the time of

573
00:31:38,359 --> 00:31:40,720
this eclipse, and in the weeks that follow this eclipse,

574
00:31:40,799 --> 00:31:43,759
how that gets built upon further by the next Leo

575
00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:47,880
solar eclipse a year later. And it's always keep important

576
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:50,279
to keep in mind that solar eclipses set the stage

577
00:31:50,319 --> 00:31:53,680
for the next six months, but what they represent often

578
00:31:53,799 --> 00:31:57,720
isn't visible quite yet. So maybe you have a feeling

579
00:31:57,759 --> 00:32:00,839
that you're headed in a new direction in this Leo

580
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:04,400
world house of your chart, but it's not quite clear

581
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:07,880
what that new direction is yet, or things you're working

582
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:12,720
on aren't fully visible. You may sense that something new

583
00:32:12,759 --> 00:32:15,359
is unfolding there, but you're not seeing the full potential

584
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:19,480
of what's to come for the next several months, and

585
00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:21,880
that's something you'll spend a lot of time working through.

586
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:25,279
With Jupiter also in this sign, and then, like I

587
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:28,599
kept saying, like Mars retrograde also occurring in Leo, like

588
00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:31,119
there's so much energy and reflection you're going to be

589
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:34,880
putting towards that Leo ruled house of your chart. And

590
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:37,559
since this is an eclipse that will be in the

591
00:32:37,599 --> 00:32:41,000
sign of the South node. It might be that endings

592
00:32:41,039 --> 00:32:43,119
come about at this time, or there's something you need

593
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:45,880
to leave behind that has to do with the topics

594
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:48,519
of that Leo house in your chart in order to

595
00:32:48,559 --> 00:32:51,000
make way for what wants to come next. So for instance,

596
00:32:51,039 --> 00:32:54,839
of your Scorpio rising, this Leo solar eclipse is taking

597
00:32:54,839 --> 00:32:56,880
place in your tenth house, so maybe it starts to

598
00:32:56,880 --> 00:33:00,119
bring up bigger opportunities in your career. But maybe there's

599
00:33:00,119 --> 00:33:02,880
also something like a job you're leaving behind at this time,

600
00:33:03,079 --> 00:33:06,079
or an element of work that just isn't working for

601
00:33:06,119 --> 00:33:08,960
you anymore and it's leaving you feeling like low energy,

602
00:33:09,799 --> 00:33:12,119
or you just like you want to walk away from

603
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:15,079
a job that isn't fulfilling. But over the course of

604
00:33:15,079 --> 00:33:17,680
the next year, you're really getting an idea of like

605
00:33:17,759 --> 00:33:20,359
what is to come with work and how are you

606
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:23,079
taking on bigger projects or more of a public facing

607
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:26,680
role in your career, Or if you're a Leo rising,

608
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:30,200
maybe since that something is changing in your life in

609
00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:33,079
a bigger way, like a new identity shift is coming up,

610
00:33:33,279 --> 00:33:36,079
or new interests are coming to you, but you haven't

611
00:33:36,119 --> 00:33:39,079
fully seen the extent of like what those new interests

612
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:44,359
or those new life changes, like what they will result in. Like,

613
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:47,519
for instance, I'm a Leo rising, so this eclipse is

614
00:33:47,519 --> 00:33:50,839
happening pretty close to my Leo ascendant, and it's like,

615
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:52,799
I know I'm having a baby. I know that will

616
00:33:52,839 --> 00:33:55,440
change my life in a bigger way. I just don't

617
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:58,599
know what that change will look like yet, Like who

618
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:01,000
will I be as a person a year from now

619
00:34:01,079 --> 00:34:04,400
as a result of having a child. I don't know,

620
00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:06,880
but I know that that change is coming. So you

621
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:11,719
could apply that same kind of thing to whatever house

622
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:14,719
is ruled by Leo in your chart. Also, having the

623
00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:17,280
solar eclipse occur in the same sign that Jupiter and

624
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:20,760
Mercury are both currently in at this time speaks to

625
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:24,519
how you may be more interested in educational, spiritual, or

626
00:34:24,559 --> 00:34:28,320
travel related pursuits, or you may be thinking more about

627
00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:30,239
like decisions you want to make in the Leo road

628
00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:32,880
house of your chart, Like there's more conversations going on there.

629
00:34:33,039 --> 00:34:35,559
You're learning about what could come next or how you

630
00:34:35,599 --> 00:34:38,760
can improve that area of your life. And this may

631
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:42,519
feel especially true in the lead up to August fifteenth,

632
00:34:42,679 --> 00:34:45,000
that's when Mercury and Jupiter will meet up in Leo

633
00:34:45,199 --> 00:34:49,400
at the exact same degree. The days surrounding August fifteenth

634
00:34:50,159 --> 00:34:54,679
could be really great for leaning into things like reading

635
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:58,000
or writing, or research or wanting to take some type

636
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:01,239
of workshop. They push yourself to learn something new, like

637
00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:04,119
get out of your comfort zone with what you usually

638
00:35:04,199 --> 00:35:07,400
learn about in order to like I don't know, take

639
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:10,159
in a new culture or a new place you're traveling to,

640
00:35:10,679 --> 00:35:14,760
or kind of finding greater confidence in speaking and writing

641
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:18,039
as well. And then it lasts weird to week five

642
00:35:18,119 --> 00:35:21,599
August sixteenth through the twenty second. This is the hardest

643
00:35:21,599 --> 00:35:24,960
week of transits in my opinion. So on August sixteenth

644
00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:29,239
to seventeen, Mars and cancer will come into a square

645
00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:33,800
with Neptune and Ares, which similar to the Venus neptune

646
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:38,920
opposition that came up just the week prior to this. Again,

647
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:41,559
maybe we're seeing like a mini mercury retrograde vibe or

648
00:35:41,599 --> 00:35:45,639
just feeling over sensitive, lower energy, not so motivated for

649
00:35:45,679 --> 00:35:48,679
a couple of days this week. Also, I find when

650
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:52,760
Mars aspects Neptune like a hard aspect like conjunction square opposition,

651
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:56,159
it can sometimes bring up illness if you are pushing

652
00:35:56,199 --> 00:35:58,639
yourself too hard, So really listen to like what is

653
00:35:58,679 --> 00:36:01,920
your body telling you at this time, I'm maybe instead

654
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:06,239
of a super hard workout, or like I don't know,

655
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:09,599
staying extralated the office, like try to engage in nurturing

656
00:36:09,679 --> 00:36:14,840
self care practices or gentle exercise. You may feel better

657
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:18,320
if you're turning to some type of spiritual or creative practice.

658
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:21,920
This is such a big theme this month, especially if

659
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:25,360
things feel kind of unsteady or uncertain because of all

660
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:29,519
the shifts happening with eclip season. And then on August

661
00:36:29,559 --> 00:36:33,000
twenty first, Venus and Libra will oppost Saturn and Ares.

662
00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:36,840
Again not a super fun transit, it's going to bring

663
00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:40,440
up this theme of relationships, but it may bring up

664
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:44,360
stress with people, or you're thinking more about the long term,

665
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:47,480
like who do I want to commit to further, or

666
00:36:47,639 --> 00:36:49,880
maybe you need to put more effort into making a

667
00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:55,920
relationship work or address any underlying issues. Also with Venus Saturn,

668
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:58,639
it very much brings like the reality of a relationship

669
00:36:58,679 --> 00:37:01,079
into your focus. If they there's been problems you've been

670
00:37:01,119 --> 00:37:05,039
avoiding with someone or haven't wanted to face that, You're

671
00:37:05,039 --> 00:37:06,559
gonna have to get that stuff out in the open

672
00:37:06,599 --> 00:37:08,800
at this time, or really decide like is this someone

673
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:13,199
I want to keep seeing or keep putting energy into.

674
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:15,280
But some of you may feel that transit in a

675
00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:18,400
more positive way, where you feel more committed to a partner,

676
00:37:18,599 --> 00:37:21,880
or you're putting in that extra effort with a friend

677
00:37:22,159 --> 00:37:25,719
and you're enjoying being there for someone. So it's not

678
00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:29,599
it doesn't always have to go a bad way, but

679
00:37:29,679 --> 00:37:31,920
wanted to bring that up in case there is a

680
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:35,119
bit of relationship stress right at this end of LEO

681
00:37:35,199 --> 00:37:38,360
season timeframe. Okay, but that is it for the LEO

682
00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:42,519
season forecast. I will be back here next Thursday with

683
00:37:42,559 --> 00:37:45,239
a new episode. I'm actually having my good friend Maxine

684
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:48,079
on the podcast again. We used to host the podcast

685
00:37:48,159 --> 00:37:51,360
Astrology and You Together a few years ago, if anyone

686
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:53,440
listened to that back then, so I'm so excited to

687
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:56,880
catch up with her. And yeah, I will see you

688
00:37:56,880 --> 00:38:01,880
guys back here next Thursday. Hi,
