Greetings, Gifted Reader.

| Leos love the stage |
In about four days, the Sun will move into the sign Leo. For
all you roaring lions, primping lionesses and purring cubs out there, this is
the time of year when you thrive. Stretching out in the summer sun, showing off
your luminous skin and crazy-wild mane, you just love this season--especially
when folks start celebrating your birthday and all attention is focused on you.
Because attention is what Leos crave most--especially on a
large scale. Up there on stage, surrounded by a multitude of adoring fans, it
just doesn’t getter any better for you posing pussycats. You Leos love large
crowds. In fact, you love anything large. And gaudy. That’s not to say all of
you love bright, shiny things full of gold. But if you have a strong Sun in Leo
placement, you’re likely to be drawn to clothing that sparkles and, not just at
the disco. It all has to do with your sense of royalty. You are, after all,
King of the Jungle.

Unless you have a badly aspected Leo Sun, you are most at
home on stage in the spotlight beaming away. You may think of it as leading
others, but it’s really more about having your ego stroked. But that’s okay. In
a lot of ways, Leo’s need for adulation is a lot less harmful than, say, Scorpio’s
avenging manipulation.

Which brings us to this. What about the rest of us Sun
signs? What does this period do to us?

For fire signs, Aries and Sagittarius, there’s a more
harmonious feel during Leo months. For earth, water and air signs like Taurus, Scorpio or Aquarius, it might feel strained since you're all signs that square Leo. But everything
depends on where Leo will transit in your Natal chart. What House will be
affected? What planets will the Sun make hard aspects to? Those are the
triggers to watch for.

For instance, in Gypsy Stars’ chart, the Sun in Leo will
transit her 10th House of Career. Hey, now that sounds promising. If
I’m already working, then I should be applauded and recognized. Maybe, I’ll
even get a bonus. On the other hand, if I’m looking for a job, the one I
acquire during this time could be a keeper

your Natal chart, drop us a line at gypsystars@me.com.
Here’s an early Leo birthday shout-out to Seattle Astrology
Group’s James Clark, below.

With all this talk about the Sun, Gypsy Stars almost forgot
to ask how you enjoyed the Super Moon of July 12. If you missed it, you have
two more chances on August 10 and September 9. Here’s a link to an explanation
of the phenomena, which is basically when the moon is closer to earth in its
orbit and looks larger to us here on Earth.
Remember, we’re always looking for
metaphysicians—astrologers, numerologists, Tarot readers, spiritual healers and
more to interview for this blog. Additionally, The Urban Goddess will promote
you on Facebook, so join us and tell your story.

Good luck, light and love,
Gypsy Stars
