Susan Miller's Leo Horoscope for July 2018

As July begins, it seems like you have just completed a big project at work. It looks like there are a lot of details to oversee, and accuracy is crucial in your opinion. The full moon at the end of last month, June 27, was conjunct Saturn and opposed the Sun. Your ruling planet is the Sun, so you enter July exhausted but very proud of what you have accomplished.

We are now in eclipse season, and eclipses usually come in pairs. This time we will experience three eclipses, starting with a solar eclipse in Cancer on July 12; then a full moon lunar eclipse in Aquarius on July 27; and finally a new moon solar eclipse in Leo on August 11.

Eclipses illuminate every situation by providing information that was previously unknown to us and will help us understand the situation better. Your ruling planet is the Sun, so a solar eclipse will have a greater impact on you than a lunar eclipse. Solar eclipses often open up new paths and bring opportunities. Eclipses are more emotional; they bring endings, but in doing so they are meant to pave the way for new chapters in the future.

Before I talk about this month's two eclipses, I want to mention the best day of the month, perhaps the quarter, for you: July 5th. Your ruling planet, the Sun, is in good aspect to Jupiter. If you need to find a new place to live—rent or buy a new apartment or house—this would be a great day to go house hunting. You might spend a little more than you previously budgeted, but it will be worth it. It will be a sunny house with spacious living room in a desirable neighborhood. With Jupiter in your fourth house of home and family for the first time in 12 years, embrace the best and most satisfying options for your life, dear Leo. You are luckier than a leprechaun this year when it comes to real estate, home, and family. This good fortune will continue until November 7, when Jupiter moves into another part of your chart.

Speaking of family, perhaps on July 5th you could receive a large sum of money from one of your parents to help you with a down payment on a house or to pay a needed security deposit. If you’re not moving, you can still find beautifully designed furniture or homewares during this magical day.

Jupiter, the planet of luck and gifts, has been retrograde since March 8, but will go direct again on July 10, bringing you more benefits on the home front. You will feel the powerful force of Jupiter on July 5, so from now on, you will clearly see that you are the chosen one when it comes to home and family. If you have been worried about the health and welfare of your father or mother, Jupiter will come to ensure security. Jupiter is not only known as the planet of good luck, it is also the great planet of healing, and this luck will fall on your parents.

Now let’s look at the new moon solar eclipse on July 12th in Cancer 21 degrees. The eclipse will light your twelfth house, which rules what happens behind the scenes, so you may hear a secret that someone is trying to hide from you. This is always unsettling and disillusioning. Meanwhile, powerful Pluto will be directly opposing the Sun and New Moon, suggesting that someone in the workplace—someone who reports to you—will be causing difficulties. This person will act as if he has the final say. (It doesn’t have to be a man – it could be a woman.) Be careful with this aggressive character, because this person will not only act domineering, but will also try to take credit for your work.

Fortunately, the other planets - wisely aware of Pluto's domineering tendencies and realizing what it wants to do after July 12 - will unite to help you. Two large golden triangles will appear in the sky and they will protect you.

Uranus, the planet of surprises, is shining in your tenth house and is supported by your daily hard work. Venus is moving through your second house of income and forms one of the vertices of a golden triangle.

All in all, the Golden Triangle will bring applause to your current job and you may also get a pay raise. Each of the stars mentioned (Uranus, Venus, Sun/New Moon) are 120 degrees from each other, forming a perfect equilateral triangle, which indicates that it will bring you pure harmony and beauty. You may trigger a major career breakthrough on or after July 12, although Pluto's influence may drive you a little crazy.

etc! There is a second golden triangle on July 12, which will provide you with extraordinary help in the areas of home and family that you are currently considering. Neptune will send silver rays to Jupiter in the fourth house, and they will both send blessings to the Sun and New Moon in the twelfth house. If you are decorating, then luck will be with you and this triangle will help you come up with a lot of wonderful ideas.

Now let's turn to the subject of close relationships, whether it's a spouse, a loved one, or a close professional partner such as your agent, manager, publicist, business partner, accountant, or other professional you hire to help you run your business. This person will be the subject of the July 27 eclipse, one of the toughest solar eclipses of the year.

On July 27, the full moon lunar eclipse in Aquarius 5 degrees will bring the end of a relationship or you will suddenly receive news about this person. Most of this information has been kept hidden on purpose, so don't blame yourself for never knowing something serious was going on.

Uranus is considered the great awakener, and everyone goes through an episode - similar to the one you learned about during an eclipse. Obtaining the truth and transparency is the most important purpose of this eclipse, although obtaining the truth is not easy.

The fact that Mars has spent so much time in this part of your chart in 2018 expresses how dedicated you are to your close relationships. However, Mars will conflict with Uranus, which rules Aquarius, the constellation where Mars is currently located. This suggests that you may become very upset or even angry when new information comes in. Try not to get too mad, because you're dealing with two planets in retrograde motion, and figuring out what this means may be harder than you think.

Mars will go retrograde on June 26 and will remain retrograde until August 27. Mars in retrograde is Mars in a weakened state. This planet gives you confidence, courage and drive, but if it is not strong enough, we will feel more vulnerable and insecure. Of course if you discover this, you will try to hide these feelings, but you will wonder how you got to this point. Once again, you are trying to do a lot of things, but the circumstances are less than optimal.

On August 1, Uranus and Mars will be in exact square, similar to the one you experienced on May 16. You may want to look back at your emails from mid-May to confirm what happened then in preparation for late July and August 1st.

Starting with Mars' retrograde motion, its brother Mercury will also go retrograde from July 25th to August 18th. This means that there will be communication barriers, and you will have to work extra hard to ensure that your communication is clear and accurate, that the information you send is correctly interpreted by others, and that the information you receive from others is correct. Your only option is to look back and try to find the deep buried resentment and try to make amends. Or, you may need to plan a getaway to get away from it all.
