Motivation is in the stars

By Cassandra Tyndall

The brilliant and dynamic Leo New Moon may inspire a special kind of warmth and radiance that can boost your confidence, helping you be seen in a new light. Taking the lead in a situation may see your leadership skills affirmed or recognized.
In addition, a fusion between the Sun and Mercury, known as Cazimi, may give birth to a new idea that can spur you into action. A creative project or a goal that is close to your heart will be well-worth pursuing this week. With Mars in the mix, do what you can to generate momentum with a goal or plan. Even if progress is slower than you’d otherwise like, it may be wise to remember the tale of the tortoise and the hare. Slow and steady wins the race. As the rest of 2020 continues to throw curve balls, it’s easier to change course if necessary than it is to start from scratch. This week, do your best to do something that your future self will thank you for. As the Sun and Mercury exit Leo for Virgo, constructing a workable plan, writing a list or attending to the smaller details of your inspiration can help you stay on track.
