LEO MONTHLY HOROSCOPE - GENERAL
July 2024

As we move into the second half of the year the Sun and the faster planets have not only passed through the part of the sky where the major outer planets are located and are venturing into new territory and parts of your chart not active until now, they are also starting to spread out. In particular, at the same time that Venus and Mercury are starting to get out in front of and start to leave the Sun behind, the much slower Mars is dropping back and is now travelling over a part of the sky where they have already been. Mars will spend the first three weeks of July in your income sector and while the Sun, Venus, Mercury and Jupiter have all been and gone, he is still fighting to exploit the income potential they have created. By the time you move into the new month it has been 10 days since the Sun and two weeks since Venus and Mercury left your sector of friendship, teamwork and networking, while it has been four weeks since Jupiter, planet of luck and expansion began his 13 month visit. Until Mars joins Jupiter here on 21st July, apart from the Moon’s visit from 3rd July to 5th July, he is on his own. Meanwhile, as is always the case, the Sun will spend the first three weeks of July in a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart, with the month long wind down of your old solar year underway. For the first time in eight years, you also start the month with Mercury and Venus here, with Venus taking your heart on a nostalgic trip down memory lane while Mercury is giving you a chance to look back objectively. However, while the Sun won’t return to Leo to begin your birthday month and new solar year until 22nd July, Mercury’s return on 3rd July will begin the first planetary activity in your sign this year. Mercury returns with a chance to get your head in the game, ideas on the table and the communication lines open while Venus will return on 12th July to start looking at what you want from your new solar year, 10 days before it is due to begin.
