Leo (July 23 – August 22)
Lisa reports that this month, “with Mercury Retrograde spending much of the time in your sign, you are poised to stop settling for breadcrumbs in relationships. You might not have realized it, but you have been accepting less than you deserve, and the cosmic timer just went off. The Mars/Uranus meetup gives you a strong push, but you’ll need to manage your anger. It’s easy to feel infuriated by poor treatment, but remember, part of it stems from your own actions.
“Stay with me. In childhood and beyond, we all learn to adapt to ensure belonging. These adaptations, however, often restrict the fullest expression of ourselves. Do you see the dilemma?
“Breadcrumbing happens because while you thrive on proper fuel (praise, applause, recognition and respect), you survived on what was offered, not necessarily what you truly needed; you learned to accept too little. Leos, in particular, need an appreciative audience to be motivated and lead others by example. This month will challenge your comfort zones, revealing where you’ve been settling for too little out of habit. The Mars/Uranus meetup, combined with the Sun’s move into Leo opposite Pluto, signals that the time for change is NOW. Your anger arises from hurt or fear and helps bolster your courage, so harness it and be a brave example. After the 7th, the relationship clean-out will ease and level off.”
