You will have extra creative juices flowing through your veins. Shadow side: Hogging the spotlight, know-it-all ness, and a sense of superiority. Even if you are the smartest one in the room, try not to let it come out in a condescending manner.

Whether you live in a studio apartment or a lavish mansion, your character and charisma will shine through your living space. Do something to spruce up your house.

When the Sun comes through this house, it shines the light on the service you provide. You feel good, useful, and important.

Go to the beach and take in the sun, eat a yummy but healthy meal, and if you have employees – show them some appreciation.

10th House Leo: Career and recognition are the winds in your sail. You thrive on career success and carry an air of dignity. You do very well in the public eye, especially so during this time. You will have extra charisma and the will to succeed. If you have the opportunity to do public speaking, take it! Shadow side: Be careful not to overestimate your abilities. Watch for vanity and striving for power without caring for the affect on others.
11th House Leo: Make plans with your friends. Any social groups you are involved in may become more prominent while the Sun is in Leo, and especially around the new moon. You can easily make new friends and take a leadership role in your group activities. You are primed for imagination and creation of new things that break boundaries. If you have been wanting to lead a group to the next step, now is a great time to do that. Shadow side: Careful not to put too much into how others think of you. Your high expectations of friends could cause disappointment. Don’t isolate.
12th House Leo: You like to help others and have a deep love of humanity. If you already work with herbs, essences, psychology, astrology or spirituality, these things will be highlighted during this month. You will find pleasure in doing these things. If you work in an institution like a prison, hospital, or other type of facility, you will feel uplifted at this time. If you have always felt like you wanted to get involved in a spiritual practice, start now under the Leo New Moon. Shadow side: Feeling isolated and excluded. Worse case self-destructive and out of reality. Best way to combat the shadow is to immerse yourself in something spiritual, metaphysical, or connected to the collective (study Jungian psychology). Join a spiritual group or start a spiritual study program.
