This week in astrology: July 22 - 28, 2013

Leo is the sign of generous energy. Most Leos are warm and loving they encourage their friends and family. Leos love fun and entertainment. They know who they are and are in touch with their inner child. Leos smile at everyone they meet. Leos attract people to their side and loyalty is a bit part of a Leo's personality. During this time you need to socialize and be out there with friends and you will find new friends. When the Sun moves in Leo's sign you will open your heart. Find your romantic side. Be real and authentic; avoid false signals. There are so many simple pleasures this month. If you are happy in the moment you will attract people to you. Invest in situations and friends that complement your own personality.

Mars joins with Jupiter this month and demands you prepare for the unexpected. Situations that have been causing you problems for quite a while will finally be able to be released. Let out your emotions and tell those around you what is wrong. Leave no stone unturned. Tell the truth. You may also find that you have high energy and are working toward an ambitious future. Watch and wait, but do plan and prepare.

As Venus and Virgo work together you have the Virgo energy to help you with issues and problems. You feel more inclined to be critical with your relationship partner and are questioning your own values. You may look at more expensive versions of a product but opt to purchase the cheaper version. You need to take better care of yourself. Health is almost better than wealth. Make transformations in your lifestyle. Listen to what your body tells you. You do need to exercise regularly and eat better.

Moving on, the moon will travel into Aquarius and release energy that is somewhat rebellious, but very unique. You do not need to make changes or be emotional. Be pragmatic and concerned with practical matters. Emotions might make issues very cloudy, but if you watch for Uranus you will shake up your love and family life. There will be changes and you must be ready for opportunities in love and career. Connect with your intuition, your soul and your inner child. Guidance is about to flow around you. You will feel almost liberated.

As the week moves on, Venus will work with Neptune and cause relationship problems between you and the one you are with. You are not thinking clearly and letting emotions cloud what is real. Unfortunately an ultimatum will be given to you by your love. You can choose what you want to do with it. Remember, however that a true love only comes around once in a while. Feelings of stress and anxiety about your situation can drive your energy away. Saturn and Venus move together to support and help you overcome your emotions.

The last day of the week is full of surprises. There are many squares in the Heavens. Mercury, Mars, Jupiter and Pluto are all together and discussing options. This makes things very tense. It is a day to stay in bed or just read a book. Let the work move around you. If you feel sick and tense, stay away from other people.

So much going on this week. You are supported by Beings above who watch over your welfare. Find the love and joy in everything you see. You will need to focus and keep moving. Watch the Leo Sun to see what desire is. Be happy and enjoy what awaits you.
