Is your bank account being pulled in two directions? Part of you is ready to be frugal and to budget with spreadsheets, while avoiding lattes or other treats. The other part may be craving something to put the magic back into the day. The tension might be real, but so is the solution, which is balance. A little leeway can boost your morale and keep you from becoming unglued later.

Today's bubbling healing energies suggest the answers you seek won't be found in the spotlight but be lingering in the quiet. This is your cue to retreat, recharge and let stillness do the talking. It could be a gentle nap, a walk in nature or a mini escape from the hubbub but stepping back can bring the understanding you've been craving and enable any perplexing strands the space to breathe.

A trip or tantalising opportunity may appeal to your imagination. While it could seem like a great adventure, this path can stretch you in ways that challenge you, blending your love of big experiences with growth potential. You might be tempted to jump, but also ask yourself if you're ready for this? If the answer is yes, trust your instincts, but have a sound plan too, Leo.

Small but important lifestyle changes are teased by the practical Full Moon of the 10th. Yet the New Moon in your sign on the 24th of July, is a stunning opportunity to invigorate all your hopes with greater passion and determination. Yet perhaps more unusually for you during Leo season, these will be strengthened through key alliances and the quality of your network, which could be at the heart of any positive changes that follow. But equally, there may be some old bonds that start to fade away, particularly where finding that the give and take proves more elusive. With Mercury Retrograde from the 18th, not everything will run exactly as you plan, but stay open minded, and around any kind of travel or contractual strands, double check all the details.
