LEO (July 22-August 23)
Belief has become the new standard of proof. This is causing chaos in the world, and it will cause chaos in your life: with one exception only. You must believe in yourself, and have faith in yourself. To an extent, this must transcend the known facts. You cannot base your idea of the future on what you've accomplished in the past, or where your results have fallen short of your goals. You simply must see beyond your history, while taking with you everything you've learned. Then, you can embrace your potential as if it's real, and keep that thought at the front of your mind. There's one more step to this process, however, and it's especially meaningful today. To get anywhere, you need discipline. That means focused effort, sustained over time. You are in the process of manifesting something, of turning an idea into a physical reality. While creation is the whole purpose of the human experiment, it's not usually so easy. Things go wrong, life is busy, and plans have a way of being set aside. It's time to go past these common human foibles. The kind of sustained and applied focus that gets things done is the factor that you need to work with the most often and the most consciously. Apply yourself with devotion and without expectations, and then note the results that you get.
