We’re now in the build up to the Lionsgate on the 8th

The sun and moon are both in the fixed fire sign of Leo this weekend.

The sun and moon are both in the fixed fire sign of Leo this weekend. We're in a powerful time energetically, and staying in joy, peace and love as much as possible is more important than ever. It will not only help the collective frequency but will also enable peak manifestation power. This is a new moon of creativity, the inner child and one to focus on the areas you want to shine in over the next 6 months. It's also a very good time to set an intention for self-improvement, self-expression and confidence.

On Monday Venus enters Virgo until 29th August and Mercury stations retrograde (also in Virgo) this will complement Mars in Gemini. You might find yourself going back over a grand idea and fine-tuning the details, or looking at what's not working and realigning – especially anything that could bring you financial gain.

During most of August, we're in the energy of the Mars-Jupiter conjunction (exact on the 14th) This energy infusion is amazing for passion, courage, goal expansion, spinning lots of plates, having lots of exciting ideas and driving them forward but getting caught up in hours of heated debate and conflict is also very likely with this aspect!

here are some suggested affirmations to use at this time:

'I am abundant in health, weath and happiness'

'Opportunities flow easily to me'

'I'm surrounded by positive energy'
