The Week Ahead for Leo
Monday, 14 July – Sunday, 20 July
It’s that time of the year again. Mercury is turning retrograde. This may not be the biggest news in the astrological calendar, but it can make life a little more complicated, especially when Mercury is in your sign and the big summer get-away is taking place. Follow the usual drill – allowing extra time for journeys and anticipating issues with technology and communications – and all will be well. Nevertheless, retrograde Mercuries have their benefits, journeys in nostalgia and running into people and situations from the past being two of them.
Getting away from it all.

Monday, 7 July – Sunday, 13 July
If you don’t feel at the top of your game, avoid pushing yourself or stepping up the pace. Take a step back and, especially if a contentious issue arises, sleep on it. Thursday’ full moon flanks the axis of health and wellbeing, so if you have been ignoring a minor complaint or feeling generally under the weather, it is time to acknowledge the fact that you are only human. Some Leos may also encounter work-place problems, and once again the advice is to leave well alone until the dust has settled. On the plus side, this full moon is the perfect time to put something happily to bed.
You’re only human.

The Month Ahead for Leo
July 2025
Remember the tortoise and the hare? July is the time to channel your inner-turtle because the faster you go the more potholes you’ll run into. Take your time. Smell the coffee. Wait for people to come to you and let others occupy the driver’s seat. On the 18th, Mercury turns retrograde so from then on, travel will be subject to delays and complications. It may also seem as though a situation has stalled, but it is simply changing gear. Panic not. The new moon in Leo (24th) is all about transformation. The power to manifest is in your hands. Use it wisely.

The Year Ahead for Leo
The eclipses of the year (14 March and 7th and 21 September) cut across the financial axis making 2025 a year of unexpected gains. However, settlements and inheritances could come with complications… There is no room for toxic situations in your life. As a result, you’ll be reinventing aspects of your existence. The periods around 27 April, 24 July and 9 August are turning points… Other people are the reason for the year’s highs and lows whether they open doors for you and change your life for the better or you cross swords with someone who proves to be a serious enemy.
