Leo July 2023

Your habits and day-to-day rituals will be a major priority on July 3, as the Capricorn full moon takes place. As a creature of habit, you tend to feel most accomplished when you’re sticking to some sort of structure in your daily life, and this lunation is bringing the urge for refinement in this area. It may be time to make some adjustments to your productive efforts or a moment to rest and recharge your body after a long week. As this full moon takes place, try not to stress too much about what you have yet to do – the work will get done. Instead, try to put together an effective plan of action – you’ll feel much less overwhelmed. 

The sun and moon conjoin in Cancer on July 17, bringing new beginnings to the ways you retreat and withdraw from the outside world. As the vibrant, expressive sign of the zodiac, it’s rare you feel the urge to go into hiding, but on this day, you may benefit from some well-deserved alone time. Consider the parts of yourself you may be neglecting, particularly any unresolved emotional needs. Allow this new moon to serve as a fresh start here, and feel free to release any pent-up feelings through crying, journaling, or sharing them with a loved one. 

The sun shifts into Leo on July 22, bringing your chart ruler back into its home sign. This marks a period of increased attention and acknowledgment for you, but what else is new? You’re very comfortable being the center of attention, and this season is all about you. So much so, that you may be feeling bolder and more confident than ever, so be sure to put that energy to good use. Since Venus will be stationing retrograde in your sign the same day, your relationship with yourself and your physical appearance may start to shift. Now is a time to consider whether or not you’re satisfied with how you’re sharing yourself with the world around you, and make adjustments if necessary.
