If there are any signs in the zodiac that really challenge you, its Leo and Sag, both for entirely different reasons. You chafe at Leo’s entitled haughtiness and Sag’s snotty elitism and yet the early part of August can be a real learning experience as deep urges to claim your own personal sovereignty are shaking things up—think active volcano. Own up to the fact that you really wouldn’t mind being the boss form-time-to-time and it will mitigate and balance your natural preference of working behind the scenes to actually telling people what to do. Unease around office psychos can be both healthy and wise and this is a chance for you to take stock of your own powers as you will be the one calling the shot throughout most of the middle of August, right up through your own birthday. Jupiter moves forward on September first and this will signal a new period of creative possibilities to go along with your newfound leadership skills.
