— Amelia Earhart
True Value
As we begin moving onward and outward from today’s Leo New Moon, the astrology seems to be setting us up to consider matters of the head and the heart. Where do they intersect, and where do they seem at odds with one another? What can one teach the other, and vice versa?
The centerpiece of the week is the conjunction between the Sun and Mars in Leo, exact Wednesday at 8:57 pm EDT (00:57 UTC Thursday).

This certainly brings the heart into the equation; though it does so in a very expressive Mars style, rather than in the more receptive mode of Venus.
Sun-Mars conjunctions (especially in a sign like Leo) are about getting active to feel good: start a project, especially something you identify with closely, and get creative. If you’re feeling insecure about something, find a constructive outlet (especially anything physical) to help channel those emotions and buffer against recklessness. There is the potential here to get a little caught up in the energy and not notice how much you’re putting out there.

If Your Birthday is July 24
(The Day of Exciting Instability) | Leo Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
You must give yourself freedom to be yourself. You’ll know you’re really doing that because you notice the extent to which you’ve felt hemmed in, and like you cannot really say what’s on your mind. Push the edge; stretch your limits; take extra license to be what some might call ‘inappropriate’, especially if that means gutsy and determined.
Written in the Planets
Mercury enters shadow phase today, which means it’s now in the area of the zodiac it will cover again during its retrograde in August. Themes of the next couple weeks or so are likely to turn up again as everything builds to the approaching eclipse. Notice any developments; if possible, keep a record so that you can refer to these events later. If something you’re working on appears to slow down or peter out, try to remain patient: our current paradigm of universal immediacy makes the long game unfashionable, and a few weeks seem like months or years; but matters will take their course if you’ll only let them.
“Ah Eric — just listened to your reading. I was moved to tears by your closing words. Your passion, deep care and love always shine through; and you have the gift of all great teachers, of making one feel that one is being personally addressed, respected and taken care of.”
— Liz Glanville

— Barbara Peaslee, on a previous Leo reading
