Leo weekly horoscope: What your star sign has in store for July 6
OUR much-loved astrologer Meg sadly died last March but her column will be kept alive by her friend and protégé Maggie Innes. Read on to see what's written in the stars for you today. Sign up for the Mystic Meg newsletter. Your info will be used in accordance with our LEO JULY 23 - AUG 23 🔵 Read our 1 Love is on the brink of a new phase that may challenge you more, but also reward you better. If you're with a partner and resist two-way change because you're still unsure, this week's big planet moves can inspire courage. If you're single, ditching a past dating plan and starting afresh, with input from your oldest friend, can be a positive move. Shimmering surfaces link to luck. DESTINY DAYS Most read in Fabulous By Wednesday, you will be ready to seal a deal. Thursday is a price-revision day, and Saturday, you shine in any mentoring role. What is your star sign's element? In astrology, the elements — Air, Water, Earth, and Fire signs — serve as foundational principles that influence the characteristics and behaviours associated with the twelve star signs. Earth signs: Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn The Earth signs are grounded in the tangible and practical aspects of life, embodying the stable and nurturing qualities of their element. These signs are known for their pragmatism, reliability, and strong connection to the physical world, often excelling in matters that require patience and persistence. Air Signs: Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius The Air signs are characterised by their intellectual, communicative, and social nature. This reflects the light and dynamic essence of their elemental influence. Overall, these signs tend to excel in the realms of ideas, relationships, and innovation, bringing a breath of fresh air to their interactions and thought processes. Water Signs: Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces The Water element signs are profoundly impacted by their element. With each astrological sign, water gives way to emotional depth, strong intuition, and a capacity for deep empathy and connection. Fire Signs: Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius Fuelled by the element of Fire, these fire signs in astrology are known for their passion, boldness, energy, enthusiasm, courage, and a zest for life that often leads them to adventurous and creative endeavours. LUCKY LINKS A black door with a gold number. A painting, or photography, group. Three names ending with the same letter. THE NEW U A time of restricting your true passionate nature is ending, and all your feelings are able to be expressed as Uranus moves on. If you're in a relationship, you can put into play all those fantasies that have been secretly forming in your imagination. You are not just physically free but also emotionally uninhibited. Things that have been hard to say can flow so easily. If you're single, a friend of a friend who challenges you from the start can be so right. The New U, for Leo, is sensual, sociable, confident, and ready to prove it.
