Astro Magic Forecast for July 2024

I must admit that I may be biased this month being a Leo, but I hope my exuberance over the sign can be a 8652c12e 9b65 4d44 b758 cb83875a9553 catalyst for inner change, transformation, and some good ole’ magic.

Leo season is ruled by the Sun, and in Greek myth the Sun is associated with the God Apollo. Now, Apollo has quite the resume – he is the Sun God, a cosmocrator, he removes curses, he is the god of music and the father of the nine muses, and he is also a god of healing.

That is some list!

Since the Sun is the center of the solar system, it is not surprising that Apollo governs so many facets of life. Likewise, we can use the energy of the Sun to perform potent magic. And guess what? You don’t need any sunscreen!

When people think of the sign of Leo (and again I am biased), they think of showy, extroverted types that need to be the center of attention. Leo is considered a ‘creator type’ because they are often involved in the performing arts. However, the deeper core of what Leo is creating has little to do with entertaining the masses – entertaining is simply a byproduct. Instead, each creation, each part, and each role gets them closer to what they long for – being themselves.

The exciting news: This month, we all get to tap into this powerful energy and use it proactively to create our lives.

5 Ways to Make the Most Out of Leo Season

Personal Power Magic: Standing in one’s personal power is an elusive phrase. We have a hard time describing it, but we know it when it happens. Personal power is when you are authentically who you are and pay honor to your wants and needs. If you need encouragement, inner conviction, a little bit of gumption, and need to express your individual values in a way that boosts your confidence, this is the best type of magic to work with.

Transformational Magic: Jacki Smith and I coined the term transformational magic during our podcast, “Keep It Magic” (BTW, 6 years of archives are still available). Essentially, this type of magic digs beneath the surface and gets to the root of your problems. It’s about changing your life from the inside out and working through the true core of your difficulties to build a life you are proud of living.

Curse Removal Magic: Curses are a popular topic in the magical communities – especially with the recent influx of new witches during this social media magical revival. The ability to remove negative magical influence is important, but the worst curses are the ones we cast on ourselves.
In myth, Apollo was a curse breaker, and he didn’t remove hexes by tapping someone on the head with a wand. He removed curses by providing the proper pathway through insight and ingenuity. Perhaps, the more we know ourselves, and when we are true to our own values, we eliminate the power that curses hold over us. Only then are we free!

Star Quality Magic: This type of magic is used when you need to shine a light on yourself. It’s your own personal PR team that helps you be seen in the best way possible. You can highlight your best attributes and hide (invisibility spell) your more challenging characteristics. Recommended: Success (Chakra Magic), Venus (Astro Magic), Wishin’ Mojo (Dorothy Morrison’s Wicked Witch Mojo)
Bo$$ Power Magic: Do you want that promotion or raise? If so, you can use Leo’s unique energy to put yourself in a favorable position with people of power and authority. This type of magic will also help you increase your finances and social standing.
