As the month goes on, planets begins to cluster in Leo, an extravagant, creative sign.  The last two weeks of July are the most social and creative.  Mars move to Leo mid month favors the BIG and the POWERFUL.  Look for wild parties, passionate romance, and big attention getters.  Finally, the Full Moon is in Aquarius on the 24th, and this is a less extreme Full Moon than June's.  It will highlight global changes and events as well as the arts, scientific progress, and the importance of friendship.  Hope summer's good to you!                 Robin Ivy
