The partnership of Mars and Mercury can be incendiary. The former takes pleasure in sporting competitions, battles, and being in charge while the latter enjoys strategy, logic, and has no allegiance. When the god of war and willpower enters the temple of Virgo, this part of the chart is provided with ample motivation… and in return, Martian activities are refined, directed, and subject to change.

Mercury in Leo: July 26 – August 11
The partnership of Mercury and the Sun can be a mixed bag. The former takes pleasure in games, playing both sides, and would be amused if no one won, while the latter prefers honorable challenges, focused efforts, and coming out on top. When the god of communication enters into the temple of Leo, things can get interesting. We may learn what a mischief-maker would do with a crown.
Aquarius Full Moon
This Leo season starts with a full moon right out of the gate. At 10:37pm (eastern) on July 23, the Moon will oppose the Sun right after they both change signs. A special moment, for sure. What makes it even more special is that the lights are flanked by the malefics. The Sun is co-present with Mars in Leo while the Moon will be co-present with Saturn in Aquarius. This tells us that opportunities will be presented (which may feel like we are being challenged) to learn and grow from the more complex situations and circumstances we find ourselves in.
Leo Season
Leo season marks mid-summer in the northern hemisphere. Everything is poppin from zucchinis and tomatoes to booties. If you’ve got it (and you do), flaunt it. Leo is here to light up the world and build a legacy that will last until the end of time. Be your own honorable, noble, divine flame and light the way for those around you. Love yourself so deeply that it inspires love in all. Know your worth. Make art. Bask in the sun. Make your passions known. Tame your inner beast and wild your inner human. Be unabashedly you and don’t let anyone else’s opinion harsh your vibe.
Venus in Virgo: July 21-August 16, 2021
Venus, the goddess of love, beauty, sensuality, and harmony moves into the detail oriented and analytical sign of Virgo, where she will stay for the next three weeks.
Cancer New Moon
The Sun and Moon are the quintessential celestial representatives of Yin and Yang. The OG. Essentially what all other astrological symbolism is based off of. On Friday, July 9 at 9:15pm eastern, they are getting together in the sign of Cancer, which is known as the gateway of life. There’s something very special about new moons that happen in the sign of the crab. Every Sun-Moon conjunction is a new beginning, but the one we get around this time of year is particularly procreative.
Cancer Season
Cancer season begins on the Summer solstice and marks the point in time when wildflowers are blooming, bees are buzzing, and the sun is nice and toasty (in the northern hemisphere). This sign rules the kitchen, so get your cauldrons ready. Geek out on vintage attire and adornments. Explore deep cottagecore fantasies. Cook all the time. Take pleasure in caring for your tribe. Go through old photos. Be sentimental. Feel your feelings, but take no shit.
