Sun as Strength
The Sun moves into Leo today, and stays there until August 23.
If we look at this transit through the eyes of the Tarot, it’s like the Sun Child is dressed in Strength’s clothing. He’s traded in his horse for a lion, and has thrown on a light gown.
The Sun is victory, exuberance and unbridled joy. The naked child has made it through the night and can’t wait to celebrate.
Nothing is hidden because there’s nothing to hide. Shadows disappear, whether we want them to or not.
The Sun announces the end of a long cycle. It’s the promised harvest after a season of toil.
Strength is pretty sunny herself, enjoying the golden sky as she plays with her lion.
The maiden is in control, innocence conquering brute power. She doesn’t need to force anything. It’s finding the flow that matters most.
Strength is the ego uninhibited by conventionalities, but under the firm reign of compassion and love.
The Sun is particularly comfortable in the position of Strength. He’s right at home with the weather, and very much enjoys playing with the King of the Jungle.
The Sun in Leo, or the Sun dressed in Strength’s clothing is a time to shine. Even if you want to hide, there won’t be many dark corners to crawl into.
Creative energies are high, as is the confidence to share what you create.
Don’t be shy. As long as you keep your ego in check, it will be hard to go wrong.
Let openness and enthusiasm rule whatever it is you’re engaged in. There’s a lot of power in play, so enjoy.

High Priestess in Hierophant's Clothes
The Moon moves into Taurus today and stays there until Monday.
If you look at this transit through the eyes of the Tarot, it would be like the High Priestess is dressed as the Hierophant. She’s sitting before two acolytes and sharing the secrets she usually guards.
The Moon in Taurus, or High Priestess in the Hierophant’s clothes, is a time of spiritual and emotional certitude.
There’s a sense that the truth can be explained, understood and incorporated into daily life. Rules can and should be followed.
Instead of trying to force others to recognize what you know to be certain, try using this time to simply share your emotional, intellectual and spiritual perceptions.
Celebrate the diversity of spirit in our world, while figuring out for yourself what rules, spiritual or otherwise, work best for you.

#11 – Strength
Learn to direct your inner wildness during this period of fiery intensity and your personal power is likely to grow. Innocence and purity work together to balance your passion with wisdom.
Explore ways to act assertively but without aggression. The gentle touch might go a lot further than a loud voice or an impetuous rage.
It’s a very creative time and you’re encouraged to allow yourself room to flourish. Don’t be shy. This is the moment to take action and move forward with plans you may have held off on until now.
