August 16 – 22, 2020 ~ Forecast

8/16 ~ Sun (core identity) ~trine~ Mars (desire):
This is a powerful energy for solidifying who you are, what you want and what you are capable of. It brings out your desire to be truly self-sustained & independent, and with the good angle between Sun & Mars, you are deeply supported for forward movement that feels almost effortless when you are grounded and aligned with your own Truth & Purpose. If you are not clear about who you are or what your purpose is, this energy will inspire you to find out. If you are already on track and crystal clear, then this energy strongly supports progress & evolution to the next level in obvious ways.

August 9 – 15, 2020 ~ Forecast + Bonus Update

Note from Kelly:
It is turning out to be quite an intense Summer and the 8:8 Lion’s Gate / Cross Quarter is the MidPoint between Summer & Fall and an excellent time to focus on YOU! the individual. Leo time every year is ALL ABOUT YOU! what you love, what you are attracted to and what you magnetize into your life experience. The next 6-weeks will give you a chance to reconnect with your own heart to decide how you want to live your life going forward, what Story you want to tell with your choices and where your Self-Love & Self-Care (Leo) rank in your life and daily routine (Virgo).

August 2 – 8, 2020 ~ Forecast + Events

8/2 ~ Sun (source & essential Self) ~square~ Uranus (awakening & radical shift):
As with any Uranus activation, this one disrupts the normal flow to facilitate a ‘break to realign’ moment. While sometimes disruptive & challenging, the ultimate result is refreshing in some way. Consider the energy that thickens, gathering for a severe thunderstorm, then releasing buckets of rain, for hours, you sleep deeply and awaken to a bright sunny morning with birds chirping unusually loud outside your window. Got the visual? ; -)) This activation is the necessary challenge that gets your attention that something better is available, if you’re willing to improvise and think on your feet.

LEO Energy ~ It’s All About YOU!

This month is all about YOU!! This energy always makes me want to sing, “This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine …” If you did the Cancer work of clearing emotional debris (ineffective reactions, old habits, past events or people) from your life and anchored your inner sense of belonging, then you should be quite ready for Leo’s heart-centered radiance to shine through you. If you tend to be shy or hide your own light under a bushel, then it may signify a time for you to get out anyway to share, socialize and be seen! What’s the use of clearing a space for all your good and then sitting around waiting for it to knock on your door? It ain’t gonna happen that way! Leo energy is where our courage lives and asks us to tap in and recharge that battery annually, if not more often.

LEO ~ Energy of the Month

This month is ALL ABOUT YOU … the NEW you!! Release all that is no longer “truth” for you – on every level. Begin the process of integrating these amazing new aspects you’ve recently discovered about your Self and HONOR who you have worked so hard to become!! You may have to re-train the people in your life to honor who you’ve become too ~ simply by your living example. When YOU change, everything around you changes or it goes away naturally. You may want to try to find peace with the fact that some people and situations will have to move out of your life at this time. Pay attention! A change of directions has been coming for a while now and all things have fallen into place ~ new life is NOW!

July 26 – Aug 1, 2020 ~ Forecast

7/27 ~ Jupiter (Consciousness & Belief Systems) ~sextile~ Neptune (Faith & Connection to Spirit):
(2 of 3: 2/20 ~ 7/27 ~ 10/12)
This is an opportunity to connect to miracles, if you believe in them. It may be miracles, but it may also be the alignment between your Heart & Soul, that part of you that trusts your intuition and believes in a higher power or Source or Universal presence. There are a couple of expressions of this energy. This is a time where your spiritual beliefs expand, taking on a more broad, Universal feel. You may feel the urge to work with those less fortunate (never a bad idea) or you may meet someone that expands your thinking, opening you to new concepts of faith. Under this influence, you may feel more optimistic & philosophical than usual, about your life and the world. It can be a fabulous energy to connect to, because when you are optimistic & faithful, as well as truly connected to the whole, you can manifest almost instantly.

July 19 – 25, 2020 ~ Forecast

7/20 ~ CANCER New Moon (2 of 2):
This is a powerful second chance to start anew in your Cancer Area of Life (House). We are getting a double dose of New Beginning energy that is so needed & necessary, considering the large-scale “endings” we are dealing with. This month gets personal, thanks to Cancer energy and the New Moon + Eclipse energies are helping us all seed a renewed Internal stability, a deeper Heart connection & what quality Soul nourishment really means to each of us. It is time to initiate something you are willing to be responsible (Capricorn) for nurturing (Cancer) to its full development and releasing to the Universe. Something born from YOU!

July 12 – 18, 2020 ~ Forecast

7/12 ~ Mercury Direct in CANCER:
Rather than the usual Mercury Retro/Direct advice, I decided to look at who Mercury would touch while in Cancer – that makes the story very clear! We got a little bit of everything, with it all being useful and relatively easy and then it has to square Mars 3-times over (5/11 ~ 7/8 ~ 7/27). This means we are really conflicted between our thinking & our actions. This year has been the poster-child for this on multiple levels – we keep thinking we have a handle on the situation and then go to take action, only to be blocked at every turn. Deep Breath! Pause – as ALL Retrogrades ask us to do – and review your thoughts & actions over the last 3-months to 3-years.

July 5 – 11, 2020 ~ Forecast

7/5 ~ CAPRICORN Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse:
This is your Annual opportunity to release that which you no longer want to be part of your reality or your responsibility. Look to what you *Initiated* at Winter Solstice and how far you’ve progressed since then. The Full Moon is shining a light in a corner for first time in 6-months to a year (the Capricorn House of your chart) revealing any weaknesses or cracks in the foundation of your current focus. Whatever you *Seeded* with the Capricorn New Moon/Solar Eclipse (12.26.2019) 6-months ago, has run its course and now the Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse shows you what is solid and can be expanded on – as well as what is weak and must be fixed, replaced or released altogether.

June 28 – July 4, 2020 ~ Forecast + Reflections

6/28 ~ Mars (action) ~sextile~ Saturn (endurance):
This energy gives you a tremendous power booster to your drive to create stability, as you define it. You will be more willing to do the work, starting with a plan that is carefully thought out and then methodically carried out. Plan and Do! Not just one or the other, but both, which can eventually produce solid results. The rewards for your hard work or the return on your investment will reflect what energy you have put in to stabilizing your life.
