Jupiter moves into Leo today and will stay there until August 11, 2015.
In Tarot terms, it’s like the Wheel of Fortune is spinning with Strength, the Maiden and her Lion are about to take a ride.
The Wheel of Fortune asks us to shake things up and take chances, to move beyond our comfort zone and into a place where new opportunities can flourish.
Doing things the way you’ve always done them might still work, but changing things around and trying something a little different is likely to work even better.
And with the Wheel around, communication is at the forefront, especially activities involving publishing – electronic, or otherwise. Get your message out there and be ready to receive some new information back.
Strength, on the other hand, isn’t so much about change as it is about intensity – fire and passion are its main focus.
Rather than letting ourselves go this way and that with every passing fancy, Strength asks us to actively direct ourselves, to take control of our passions and get them working towards some worthy goal, something that matters to us on a soul level.
Getting ahold of our ego is part of the challenge, and it can be tough. But if we succeed, like the Maiden with her Lion, we can play with true power without being eaten alive.
The Wheel of Fortune and Strength are a formidable combination for sure, they represent positive new opportunities and the fortitude to make those opportunities grow into something real.
Jupiter in Leo, or the Wheel of Fortune spinning with Strength, can be an exciting time, a chance to move forward with something that fills you with enthusiasm.
And really, that’s the key during this period; to focus on those things that spark your enthusiasm, and challenge the way you’ve been doing things until now.
It’s not about abandoning your obligations, or ignoring necessities, but to look at your world with fresh eyes, to be open to doing things differently, and to take the spinning Wheel of Fortune into your own hands.
What do you want to create in your life? Whatever it is, this is an especially good time to make a wish, then make that wish real.
Keep your ego in check, your enthusiasm high, and your eyes open for new ways of doing things. It might be hard not to have a good time.

This is a good day to get your thoughts as clear as possible. And you may have some emotional issues that could use a little focused attention. It’s a great time to think things through.
What choices are you being asked to make at this time? Look them squarely in the face and choose. If you can’t choose now, when do you think you can? At least decide that. Ask yourself what will bring you closer to your own truth – a union of mind, body and soul.
You’re sharp as a tack today. Take advantage of the energy to decide what needs deciding. You can do it. How will you get to your next step if you don’t?

The Moon moves into Pisces today and stays there until Thursday.
Described in Tarot cards, this transit would be like the High Priestess is dressed as the Moon. She’s lost her material body and has disappeared into the celestial body that usually rests at her feet.
The Moon in Pisces, or High Priestess dressed as the Moon, is a time of increased perception, ill-defined understanding and what might be described as night vision.
During this time you could find your dreams feel more real than your daylight hours and what’s not said is louder than what is.
Fears might grow like a boogieman under the bed, but if you just take a peek, they’re as likely to be dust bunnies as demons or ghosts.
Be still, aware and fearless. It might be dark outside, but if there was ever a time you can navigate the unknown, this is it. Listen, breathe, flow.

#14 – Temperance
This is a great day to even things out. Balance and temperance are the energies surrounding you now. Can you bring your physical world into harmony with your emotional state?
Temperance is about that perfect mix, neither too much nor too little. It’s about becoming conscious of what you want to be both inside and out, and courageous enough to try.
You are responsible for any healing you might need. The first step is to acknowledge what might be out of balance and then start readjusting.
Sometimes it’s about finding a new way to meld your internal opposites; sometimes it’s about casting out what no longer works. In all cases though, it’s about being true to your self and connecting to the grander universe.
Try asking an angel for some help today. You might be surprised at the result.

Wheel of Fortune
It’s a fantastic day to get going on whatever project (especially a new one) you’ve been thinking about. Opportunities abound for you to finally move forward with your plan.
Don’t be afraid if you think you can’t do it? You’ve been spending plenty of time thinking about it. Look close, you’ll see you have all you need to make it work.
The only thing that will slow you down is doing things the same old way. Start fresh now. You’re ready to go.

Magician as Charioteer
Mercury moves into Cancer today, and stays there until July 31st.
If we translate this transit into the Tarot, it would be like the Magician is wearing the clothes of the Charioteer. He’s hit the road in some pretty snazzy armour.
Mercury in Cancer, or the Magician wearing the Charioteer’s clothing, is an excellent time to turn your ideas into action.
Inspiration abounds, as does the strength to follow through on your commitments.
Don’t give up if the going gets tough, or communication gets murky. Just recalibrate and try again.
Clearly let others know what it is you need from them, but don’t wait around if they can’t help you.
A determined focus and the intention to move forward will get you to where you need to go.
Charge forward with faith in victory. Success is calling.

The Moon moves into Aquarius today and stays there until Tuesday.
Described in Tarot cards, this transit would be like the High Priestess is dressed as the Star. In other words, her robes are gone and she’s naked as the bird in the tree behind her.
The Moon in Aquarius, or High Priestess in the Star’s clothing, can sometimes be emotionally stressful. Hope may be in the air, but it’s a cautious hope.
Emotionally you feel like sharing, bubbling over with dreams for the future. But your mind keeps getting in the way, reminding you that dreams can sometimes be nightmares.
Try not to spend what could be a nice time double guessing yourself or listing off all the reasons things could go wrong. They might. But they probably won’t.
Be real, but not a wet blanket. Rather than smothering your dreams, direct them with intelligence.

King of Cups
Compassion, emotional strength and mature love are key energies today. The King of Cups understands well the joys and sacrifices involved in relationships of all kinds.
Concern yourself with how others are feeling, what they need for support and how you might help. Through concern for the needs of others you might unexpectedly fulfill your own.
And if you know you’re needing some assistance yourself but have been afraid to ask – get over it. Emotional generosity and support are there if you’re willing to let someone help. But they have to know you need the help before they can offer it.
