Mercury enters Leo today and stays in this playful sign until August 10th. During this cycle, our thinking is more confident and grand. The focus is now on the goal--and the more grand the goal the better! The details may not be quite as important now. We are more expressive, even theatrical and given to speech-giving and story-telling under this influence. (HA!! That's what I'm doing this evening!!!) We are also more convincing and persuasive, as we exude confidence when we speak or write. We may not listen as well as we normally do under Mercury in Leo. Mercury in hard aspect to Mars today suggests quick-wittedness. Mars trines Jupiter, adding more drama to the day. Decisive action comes naturally now. We possess willpower, verve, and energy that we can direct toward achieving our goals. Success in contracts, negotiations, and business deals comes more easily, as long as we watch our tongues. We want to branch out and take on more challenges. Optimism, enthusiasm, and spiritedness are themes today. Positive attitudes create winning situations now. A spirit of friendly competition prevails, as well as the desire to take beneficial action. The Moon is in solid Taurus all day.




And Happy birthday DAD!!!
