Your horoscope for July 27 to August 2, 2017

    1 of 1 2 of 1

      Over this past week, the sun and Mars in Leo have been close travelling companions. They’re sufficiently refuelled and are now ready to have a fresh go at it. Together they are a bring-it-to-life, personal-renewal, consciousness-raising duo.

      Leo is a creator influence, a self-actualization archetype. When it is activated, it’s time to realign with your beating heart, to find your shine again, to recognize how special you are, and to make others recognize how special you are. To live, to love, to play, to feel rewarded; Mars, continuing in Leo through the first week of September, keeps “I desire” and “I deserve” on maximum drive. Even if you are presently coping with a harsh reality, know that desire for more and better is a gift. Essentially, it is not allowing you to give up on yourself.

      Overall, Mercury’s recent trek out of Leo and into Virgo is productive for getting onto tasks, especially regarding fix-it repairs and cleanup projects. If it isn’t working for you well enough or if it needs an upgrade, Mercury will make it too obvious to ignore. If there’s something useful to get out of it, Mercury will give you the opportunity to extract what you need.

      Upping the emotional quotient yet again, Venus in Cancer, starting Monday, puts more attention on home, real estate, family, comfort zones, and the past. Go by feel; express how you feel. Late Wednesday, Uranus in Aries turns retrograde. It can produce an instigating, unleashing, rerouting, or cut-to-the-chase effect.

      Two eclipses and another Mercury-retrograde cycle are on the way. More on this next week.
