Leo

This is set to be a very interesting week that will mainly be positive. The week opens with a favourable formation formed between freedom loving Jupiter and Saturn who has a tendency to bring restrictions. This aspect is all about recognising that you may have been living under strict rules and trying to find a way to free yourself and become established as a strong, independent person who has reclaimed control of your life. This is also an ideal time to work with others to build a future that is stable and more fit for purpose. The positivity continues into Tuesday with a relaxed atmosphere that will help with finding a way to avoid having to deal with control freaks. Wednesday is an energised day that is perfect for networking and socialising as the season of Cancer gets underway. This is also the day with the longest daylight hours and shortest night as we celebrate the Summer Solstice - summer is officially here and the opportunity to enjoy the relaxed vibes of the Cancer season. Thursday may prove to be challenging as the energies may flip-flop and become confusing but Mars energy will be available to provide the extra boost to help you move forwards. The weekend, particularly Sunday, could be a draining and muddled time that may lead to mental overload or exhaustion. If necessary, don’t hesitate to ask for advice or help from a trusted individual or professional support services.

A wonderful beginning to the new week with the Moon and Uranus forming a beneficial sextile angle that brings with it excitement and the opportunity to have invigorating chance meetings. You will also, probably, feel like examining your domestic routines or your personal life with a view to making changes. It is very possible that the combination of the Moon and Uranus will make your intuition sharper than normal. This can work to your advantage as you will find it easier to make decisions quickly. Also be alert for opportunities opening up for you and ensure that you exploit these openings. You will also have the chance to explore new ways of doing things and this will suit your natural inquisitive mind and your love of trying out new things.

The following day falls under the influence of the Moon and Pluto being stationed directly opposite one another, which may result in some deeply buried emotional memories could become triggered, causing them to be revealed once more. You could find yourself working through an emotional cleansing that could well feel as if long forgotten wounds are being pulled out forcibly, including their roots. It is very important that you allow yourself to fully process these emotions and, if you need to, grieve their going but release them and spend some time healing any vulnerabilities that may have been revealed. Painful as this process may be, it is necessary for you to have a good clean out to remove dying and obsolete material that then makes a clearance for you to be able to plant seeds for further new developments in subjects that are of interest.

As you reach the middle of the business week the day falls under the influence of the Sun moving into the zodiac sign of Cancer that brings an easy, free-flowing atmosphere and a feeling of sentimentality and caring. Cancer energy is focused on home and family so try to monopolise on these as much as possible. Organise family celebrations, social gatherings with friends, sharing memories or even holding a crafting event. Cancerians do not need to look beyond their own home and garden to find a place where they feel comfortable and confident. The colours most associated with Cancer are white, yellow and accompany these with the corresponding jewellery of pearls or silver pieces. When wearing clothing in Cancer’s colours and teaming them with the jewellery will help to set the tone for wearing comfortable and relaxed styles. The sun in Cancer brings feelings of intimacy when a tender and sentimental vibe brings enjoyment to the heart. June was once the traditional month for marriages to take place. One thing to be alert to is the changeability of Cancer’s moods - euphorically happy one minute and down in the depths of negativity the next moment. In the Northern Hemisphere this day is also the Summer Solstice where the Sun is at its peak, giving us the longest daylight hours of the year, along with the shortest dark hours. Many cultures around the globe celebrate this. Of course, the Southern Hemisphere will be celebrating the Winter Solstice. The ways of marking the Summer Solstice include lighting bonfires to pay homage to the power of the Sun, feasting on local produce, consuming home-made beverages like wine, beer, cordials and taking part in crafts to make seasonal decorations. It is a time of much merriment and a general feeling of goodwill to everyone. There is a special magic that weaves its way around participants who gather to witness the sunrise that welcomes the Solstice.

The following day sees the Moon and Mars both being situated in the star sign of Leo and this conjunction brings feelings of energy and a need to take action. You will be focused on making progress towards your desires that may involve taking a risk or increasing the effort that you invest in this part of the process. You may also find that you feel more protective towards those close to you and they will feel safe and secure knowing that your support is available to them. However, be careful that you do not run the risk of becoming over-bearing or seeing yourself as their rescuer as, sometimes, it might be better to leave them to make their own decisions or to take action. Please bear in mind that the combination of the Moon and Mars in Leo can lead to impetuosity and/or being more susceptible to frustration and irritation than usual. It would be worth keeping coping strategies in your arsenal of skills to take away the inflammatory triggers and to maintain a calm countenance so as to avoid getting caught up in unnecessary arguments and disputes that you come to later regret.

The last day of the business week will feature the Moon being opposite Saturn bringing you a heightened awareness of and the ability to evaluate your more recent progress. This combination of planets will enable you to look analytically at your behaviour, alongside examining the routines and methods you have set up in your life and to assess whether they are robust and reliable or would they benefit from being restructured. It could be worthwhile to make this reflection a regular practice that would enable the identification of barriers or responsibilities that may overwhelm you and offer the chance to reconfigure things before they take on the power to disrupt everything you have been striving towards.

The weekend begins with the Moon and Uranus again teaming up, this time by forming a trine angle that cause you to feel as if your thoughts and emotions are racing. This can be extremely beneficial when you need to think creatively to explore different ways of doing things or to solve problems that could impact on your future. It is worth remembering that there are different ways to evoke the required level of creativity, such as physical activity, or expressing yourself artistically or musically to enable the energy to flow through you. Also, be aware of the potential for flashes of inspiration to come into your consciousness. If this happens, be sure to capture it, perhaps by writing it down, and develop this insight further in your mind. There is a strong possibility that this random insight could become the foundation for remarkable transformative changes to your life in the future.

As your week and the weekend draw to a close, the Moon and Pluto team up in a trine formation that brings you passion and determination and these can be expressed in many ways and be applied to virtually any aspect of you life. It will be almost like having a flashing neon sign on your head to advertise that you are in a powerful phase and this will attract people to you who recognise and share your passion. With Pluto’s involvement, you can be assured of the potential for major transformation to manifest in your life. Passion is a powerful energy and all energies require release. If you do not have a partner with whom to achieve the release of this energy, it could be effectively channelled into something that you feel strongly about, such as a career project or something creative. To put it another way, your soul wants harmony and purpose … it doesn’t much care whether that is with another like-minded person or a life purpose.
