The loss of someone close to you, a grandparent perhaps, have put a sudden end to all your recent partying and socializing. Now is a moment for quietude and introspection. Take comfort in spirituality or the visions of dreams. Avoid destructive thoughts of actions. Self care is important. Assets and possessions monopolize your time and resources. Some of you may be longing for scintillating experiences and if so, sexuality will be the motivating force. Literally or symbolically, something will reach its conclusion today. Both romance and finances will be in the spotlight. Stay away from commitments.

Life’s been moving at a supersonic pace ever since adrenalizing Mars moved into your sign on May 20. But we have to ask, Leo: Are you exhausted yet? You’ll have plenty of moments to regain your chill starting today as the red planet moves on to Virgo and your slow and steady second house until August 6. Pump the brakes and give yourself a chance to organize everything from your summer schedule to your spending and savings plan. Momentum for a moneymaking project WILL increase, so if there’s any place to exert yourself, it’s for projects that bring the promise of greater financial security. As long as the work falls in line with your core values, you’ll find it rewarding.
