Powerful shifts and bold expression - Astrology of July
The beginning of July comes with a little more slowing down and an opportunity to really hone in on your dreams and desires. With Mercury moving into Leo, there may also be deeper, bold conversations about the things you ultimately want for yourself and your life.
The first week urges you to bring quality over quantity when it comes to connections. Cancers New Moon on the 6th is strong, and powerful and suggests that any intentions set or seeds sown are likely to take hold immediately and move forward with structure and momentum towards the desired outcome.
