Expect communications to be a strong theme this week—first the dialogue we have internally, then how we express ourselves to the world.

On July 10, as Mercury, the planet of communications interact with Neptune in Pisces, space is created for us to hear the subtlety of our spiritual voice. Notice how your intuition naturally flows and follow the nudges. Just the day after, the planet comes into opposition with Pluto in Capricorn. Within this dynamic, there is a strong push-pull element that reminds us of both the beauty of flow and structure, faith and hard work. Have faith in the greater plan if things fall through during this time and keep focusing your energy on the path ahead. On the same day, Mercury also moves into the sign of Leo. In the previous sign of Cancer, the way the mind worked could make us feel more sensitive or even defensive. In the fiery sign of Leo, we can expect a drastic shift in our mentality and use of language. This is a time to follow the burning passion of the heart and speak our desires into manifestation—the bolder the dream, the louder your expression should be. For the creative and ambitious Leo, playing small is not the way to live life, harness this leadership energy by courageously going after what you want.

At the start of the week, Mars also moves into Virgo. During this transit, set aside time to reflect on the practical details of how you are “doing life” and whether they are still serving you. That could be a realisation that you no longer want to have drinks with colleagues after work and instead wish to have early nights in or cancelling that expensive gym membership that you rarely use anyway. Virgo is deeply connected to the body, so tune into the body’s wisdom as you make these small adjustments that will ultimately benefit you.
