July Horoscope for Leos Explained： Love Advice & Lucky Dates

Okay folks, let me walk you through how I tackled putting together that Leo horoscope post for July. Gotta be honest, the planets weren’t exactly lining up for me on this one at first.

Getting Started & Research Rabbit Hole

So first, I grabbed my usual stuff: laptop, coffee (essential!), my battered planner, and my trusty ephemeris app. Opened a blank doc just staring at it for a good ten minutes. Knew I wanted July stuff for Leos, obviously. Started digging into transits hitting that Leo zone – Sun’s there obviously for most of the month, but Jupiter and Saturn are doing their thing nearby too. Found like ten different interpretations for each aspect. My coffee got cold while I was cross-referencing sites. Total rabbit hole. Ended up sticking with the sources I find most consistently reliable, even if they’re not always the loudest voices.

Breaking Down the Big Stuff

Alright, felt good on the why the energy feels a certain way in July. Now for the meat: predictions and advice. Love section always takes me forever. Venus moves into Virgo later in the month? That screams practicality. Wrote down “Leo Pride meets Virgo Pickiness” – chuckled at that, left it in. Gotta warn them about potential nitpicking in relationships, especially around the 20th. Added stuff about expressing feelings clearly, not just grand gestures. Real talk, Leos gotta hear that sometimes.

Career stuff felt more straightforward – that Sun/Mars combo early on? Pure fire energy. Wrote: “Use that first week hustle HARD. Launch stuff, pitch ideas, be seen.” Also flagged mid-month with Mercury acting up – warned them to triple-check emails and avoid signing big contracts around the 14th-18th. Got burned myself by Mercury retro once, never again.

Picking Lucky Dates

This part always feels a bit woo-woo, even for me! But people ask for it. So, based on the aspects:

• For Bold Action & Starting Stuff: Totally circled July 2nd and 3rd. Sun conjunct Mars? Yes please. Peak initiation vibes.
• For Money Talks & Practical Wins: Looked at when the Moon was happy Taurus and Venus was chill. Landed on July 9th and 24th. Not flashy, but solid for sorting finances or getting systems working.
• For Deep Chats & Romance: Needed softer energy. That Full Moon in Capricorn opposite Leo Sun on the 21st? Felt intense, good for serious convos. Also liked the trine from Mars to Jupiter around the 29th for warm, expansive social stuff. Date night material.

Stared at my planner overlapping these dates with moon signs and aspects. Scribbled notes, crossed things out. Doesn’t need to be magic days, just energetically smoother days for certain actions.

Wrapping Up & Hitting Publish

Reread the whole thing. Does the love advice sound preachy? Tweaked a couple of lines. Checked the dates again against my notes. Formatted it clearly – bold headings for sections, bullet points for the dates so it’s easy to skim. Finally, just took a breath and hit publish. Always a bit nerve-wracking sharing predictions! The main thing is sharing info that feels right and might actually help folks navigate the month, not just fluff.
