Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22) – Mars moves into your sign, giving you strength, confidence and also the energy to initiate new projects. You’ll feel great as you set new goals and take steps. Relationships can be bumpy as Pluto changes signs. There’s got to be room for your expanding personal power! Your spirituality, individual passions, financial viewpoints and even your sexuality need to be respected at this time. Strong partnerships will adapt and be even more fulfilling for both of you. But if you’ve had ongoing battles that have worn you down, you might feel it’s more empowering to walk away and retain your vital energy!

Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22) – Mars changes signs so meditate and explore old anger in your subconscious.

Be sure the other person walks their talk!

Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22) – Reconnect with old friends during this Mercury retrograde. Think about fun activities you always promise yourself you’ll try, yet don't . . and do them!

It’s the result of efforts on your part that didn’t seem to make a difference, yet now pieces fall into place. Phew! Revisit a gratitude practice, even if only three things each day, and your inner peace grow exponentially!
