Astrology, Tarot and More

So, you've got a friend or a loved one who's a Leo? Well, you're in luck. Leos tend to be loyal, generous, and warm-hearted. And...they are also known for their love of all things extravagant. A small touch of luxury or glamour will do, too! I know all about this, trust me... I'm a Leo ♌🦁 

I'm also the go-to person for gift ideas at work. So, I thought I'd share my top picks for a Leo! 

Leo Season opens up this week with a powerful New Moon in Leo! Happy Birthday to my fellow Leos 🦁♌

Take it easy early in the week - it's an inauspicious time for initiating new, big undertakings.

Set intentions for a "redo" on the New Moon if you need to - such as, a second chance for a great, passionate love.  This New Moon falls close enough to Mercury Retrograde, also in Leo. 

And stay out of power struggles this week. 

Astrologically speaking, the New Moon is the time to set intentions to attract what you want into your life.

This New Moon in Leo is is THE day of the year to set intentions for creativity, joy, attracting or enhancing romance, and creating a joyful relationship with your children.

One of the things I love about astrology is that it keeps us connected with the larger cycles of the Universe. As the Sun travels through the Zodiac, each month we get a chance to “try on” the qualities of that sign and stretch out of our comfort zone! 

Leo is about having unabashed fun, taking center stage, and unapologetically appreciating your own fine qualities 😊 Most importantly, it’s also about creativity, warm-heartedness, and generosity toward others.

Everyone knows their Sun Sign.  You might be a Leo. Or a Taurus. Or a Scorpio.

But your Moon sign is at least as important. It describes your emotional nature, and what you need more or less of to feel safe and secure emotionally.

It also provides a lot of insights into your relationship with your Mom, and into how you are - or going to be - as a parent.

Mercury turns retrograde this week, in Leo.  If you need to sign any agreements or legal documents, hurry and get them in place before the retrograde! In this post, I share some tips on how to make the most of this retrograde - including the day to reach out to your ex (if you're so inclined).  

Yet another major energy shift of 2025 is about to unfold: Uranus enters Gemini. It takes Uranus 7 years to transit a sign, so this is a big deal!  Uranus is about change, personal freedom, and an unexpected.  Read all about this electrifying planetary shift in this post. 

Another major celestial shift of 2025 is happening this week:  Uranus temporarily enters Gemini.  But, there is more!  This week brings one of the best days of the month for love and romance.  The Full Moon in Capricorn is a great time to work on those workaholic tendencies. And....sadly....Mercury enters its Storm, getting ready to turn retrograde on July 17.

The Full Moon is the time to celebrate your successes and progress this lunar cycle.  Give thanks for any and all blessings in your life -  and then release what no longer serves you.

This Full Moon, in career-oriented, ambitious Capricorn is a great time to set intentions to balance work and family, release fears of incompetence, especially at work, and to ask fears of getting older to be lifted from you. 

July brings yet another big planetary shift:  Uranus temporarily enters Gemini. Considering it takes Uranus 7 years to move through a sign, this is a significant astro-event.  The first week of July brings the best energies, especially for love and romance.  After, we have to Mercury Retrograde to contend with. 

This week brings the best energies of July.  Don't miss the Opportunity Period early in the week, sit out the lengthy Moon-void-of-course mid-week, and lean into the supportive energies for love and romance at the end of the week.

Curated by an astrologer, this gift guide will help you find that special gift for your Cancerian friend or a loved one. Or, if you're a Cancer yourself, you might see something that speaks to you here.

Enjoy!
