The Planets This Week: July 23, 2018

What a busy week we have! The Sun moves into Leo so this show is dedicated to all you Leos! There is also a very powerful Lunar Eclipse on Friday and yet again we have the dreaded Mercury Retrograde starting on Wednesday.

Under the bright light of the Leo Sun during the next few week, many of us may find ourselves longing for recognition. We now want to stand out and be seen and appreciated just for being our unique self. We may become more aware of what makes us special — our talents, personality, and past experience — and we want other people to notice too!

Creative energy is strong, and this is a great time to devote to artistic passions and stoke our creative fire. Drama is Leo’s specialty, and when the need for self-expression isn’t honored, melodrama can result.

The Full Moon Lunar Eclipse on Friday brings a conflict between self-expression and the collective but with more emphasis on the collective and what’s good for all humanity. A detached, progressive, contrarian, future- and technology-minded Moon may be just what the world needs to help us all detach from our personal dramas. The Lunar Eclipse in Aquarius reminds us that we’re all just one of seven billion people on Earth, and that we are our brothers’ keepers.

Also, this week, we have yet another Mercury retrograde but this time it’s in Leo! This influence triggers passionate displays of expression that are sure to cause reactions from you and from others. This fiery planetary influence inspires more emotion behind words and thoughts, which inspires passionate responses, which in turn, ignites the airspace with electricity.

Tune in on Monday 6pm PT/9pm ET to find out more…
