LEO: Lion July 23 - August 22

Powerful outside influences are at work all around you this month and leave you acting in response to them during the whole period. Good news- a vacation or enforced couple of days at the end of the month will help you with some much needed peace of mind.  Forces of the heart are primary to you during the month and you may well find yourself jumping from one cause to another, one relationship to another, one job to another and so on.  There may not be rhyme or reason to it all either.  These are matters of the heart and of courage and fortitude because you are the Lion and represent the Lion heart.  News or messages from afar put you in travel mode or at least a period of high long distance communication needs.  Your own intuition and deeper mental motivations are closely aligned to spiritual or psychic prevalent during the first few days of September.  Also youthful influences or contact are likely through the 11^th when you find yourself connecting more with a niece, nephew or similar youth.  You will also find yourself absorbed in reading or study of secret or hidden knowledge.  A close friend from your past provides a gift or tip that sets you on a path of discovery and understanding.   The 15^th and 25^th will be prominent days for contact with a holy man or spiritual leader who can provide valuable assistance and guidance to you.  A family fortune or inheritance will be on your mind around the 10^th when you begin to formulate a plan to make better use of your assets and investments.  A prime motivation that seems to be gaining strength within your inner knowing is the need for back up plans and alternatives.  Greater planning in your life will become a priority.  As a witness either by dream or by seeing the unexpected happening to someone near you provides the energy to create some back-ups in your life.  It will be up to you to decide what is best for you, that is where those couple of days of getaway time will come into play.
