The New Moon in Leo occurs on Wednesday, July 31, just 46 minutes before Mercury completes its retrograde cycle. With Mercury in Cancer in retrograde at the moment of the Leo New Moon (8:12 pm PDT/11:12 pm EDT), this celestial line-up portends delays in communication—either in delivering communication, receiving communication, or formulating an idea or expressing an idea. It will be important to have patience!
The July 16 Full Moon Lunar Eclipse falls into a complex T-square pattern that is certain to provoke hidden tensions inside yourself and in your personal relationships.

The Full Moon in Sagittarius—when the Sun is in Gemini and the Moon in Sagittarius—arrives on June 17, 2019. This day is also called the "Strawberry Moon” because June’s Full Moon is traditionally associated with the harvest of the strawberry crops.
The Full Moon Total Lunar Eclipse on January 20-21 is also a Super Moon because it will appear larger than normal due to its close proximity to Earth. While this eclipse will be visible in Europe, Asia, Africa, and North and South America, you will also feel its disorganizing impact, particularly if you have a cusp birthday: January 20-22, February 19-21, March 20-22, April 20-22, May 21-23, June 21-23, July 22-24, August 22-24, September 22-24, October 23-25, November 22-24, or December 21-23.
The New Moon Solar Eclipse in Leo the Lion on Saturday, August 11 will provide you the energy to roar! With the Sun, Moon, and talkative Mercury in Leo, this is a time to express yourself! But also remember to LISTEN too! Leonine energy is warm, generous, and supportive. But much important information can be glossed over under the radiant influence of Leo the Lion.
Planetary Transits and Cosmic Interplay for the week of Aug 4–Aug 10
Loud and proud, if you got it flaunt it. You are becoming more comfortable in your own skin! And when you are comfortable in your own skin, you feel great about yourself and your uniqueness! When you use your unique talents, you will gain financially. Things are looking very good, so be proud of your accomplishments, but do not settle for less—look to achieve even greater accomplishments. You might be out front and eager to go on the outside, but in your own home you like it quiet.
June can pose a minor challenge for the “lion” in exercising opinions too forcefully. This is partly due to the planetary boost helping you express yourself in such a variety of ways. You will feel an ease exploring and creating in the areas of communication. Acting and improv create the perfect “roar”.
When it comes to conversations, avoid the temptation to have to win the argument. You will know all the “smart” things to say but your cleverness may not be worth losing the relationship. Keep verbal exchanges cooperative and in a low key.
