Offerings to the Air Element c2016

Offerings to the Air Element

When we make offerings to the air we are thanking the universe for our breath. Each moment we are held by this element and at the moment of death it’s our last breath, which heralds our departure from the mortal body.

The air is also our First breath when we are born so honour this element by getting outdoors and spending time in high places, feel the wind on your body and rejoice with song, laughter and dance, which are all part of this element. The air is what carries sound, music is what nurtures our soul and we can see that the two combined into one exceptional union. Music has the power to heal and transform us. Think about how many times you have put on your favourite tracks to change your mood. Mellow music chills us out and reduces our stress and more uplifting music gets us into a place when we want to move and express ourselves. All this is the expression of the air element and by being aware of such things brings a greater clarity to our daily activities.

Simple offerings can be thrown into the air or left tied to trees so that they Flutter in the winds. But make sure whatever you leave in nature can be broken down easily such a paper, incense, cotton or silk cloth, food and liquids, things found such as feathers and rocks. Never leave anything that will affect the flow of the natural world, to do that will only create blocks and hinder your path towards growth.

Offerings to the Fire Element c 2016

Offerings to the Fire Element

Without a beating heart we have no Gire within us, it is the blood that pumps around our bodies that generates heat and gives us the power to illuminate. Deep within our heart is a place that is eternal, an inner sun that burns with a light so bright it connects us to the very core of infinity. It is our innate nature that burns with wisdom and allows us to embrace life. When we align ourselves with the gods and with the path of The Craft we burn with fire, we burn with a yearning to know our soul’s destiny. That is what drives us on towards the source of all knowledge, it allows us to heal bits of ourselves and others because when we get just one single glimpse of the fire within the heart it is enough to illuminate the entire universe.

Although we have an inner fire there is nothing more beautiful to be sat round a camp fire, how many times have you looked deep into the flames and let them speak to you, they lull you to a place which allows visions to arise, transporting us inwards to the deep seat of knowing. The Craft has always been the place where those who follow it’s path burn with the passions of nature. To be alive with the fire of wisdom means that you have opened yourself up to the face of creation and allowed yourself to become enfolded in the arms of the Gods. They burn with the same fire, which is in your heart, they are made from the same seed fire that you have within. The Gods burn with the same eternal flame that illuminates our own being and to know the flame within means you come to know the face of the Gods. Fire burns away ignorance just like it clears the dead wood of the forest allowing new shoots to germinate bringing forth new growth. We all have dead wood within, our internal struggles and our ever-‐conflicting emotions are what keep the fire from burning bright. But when we get a glimpse of the fire we fan the f flames and they start to burn, they burn so bight that they produce a source of all light, without fire there would only be darkness and with total darkness no life would exist. Fire is the source of all life, without our sun this earth we live on would be a dead rock floating around a burnt out sun. Devoid of any life there would be no consciousness to illuminate itself. We are the universes knowing itself, and it’s through this element we come to understand these wisdoms.

Offering to fire can be anything that can be consumed by flames or even a simple votive candle.

Offerings to the Water Element c2016

Offerings to the Water Element

Water is a vital element for our survival, we are within water while we are in the womb of our mother and we die very quickly without it. Because water is in such abundance on our planet we have little attachment to it. Water is fluid and free and over time it can reduce the hardest material into dust. It cuts through valleys like a knife through butter and bursts forth from the ground in healing springs. It is the lifeblood within our bodies and upon the earth it is abundant and Glowing, unfortunately we pollute it with toxins that are now bringing us close to poisoning all life.

We should always try to keep our waters pure, they are what carry the trace nutrients that our body needs for survival. There is nothing more stirring that to sit next to crashing waves on beach or more restful than laying next to a babbling brook. Water out of all the elements has the most power to heal. Our ancestors knew this knowledge and dedicated many springs to cures. Even in our modern world we prefer bottled water to that from the tap thinking it has a purer quality to it. It’s our internal emotions that draw us close to water as a source of all healing and I often wonder if it’s because we floated for nine months in the waters of our mothers womb. There we felt safe and secure, it was a primordial state before they burst issuing us into the world of duality we know as life. How many of us enjoy the relaxing comfort of a bath or the invigorating power of a shower. Both these daily functions connect us deeply to the element of water and draw us close to its energetic qualities. I love nothing better than swimming outdoors in the summer in open pools and rivers, feeling the power of nature enfold me in the waters of life.

A daily offering of water can be made on your own personal shrine; it is something very easy to do and connects us to a source of connection many take for granted. Water is the best substance as a daily offering because it’s one of the things we have no attachment to, we don’t in any way covet it because it seems to be around us in abundance. That way we give it freely and that’s the spirit which should be nurtured when making any offering. To be able to give without any attachment at all allows the offering to have the purest quality within it and becomes a great source of connecting us to the source of creation. Items you can offer include water, milk and wine.

You could even collect different waters to offer such as Sea Water, Lake Water, Spring Water, Rain Water, Snow Water and Dew, be guided by your intuition and may the hand of the gods always lead you towards your souls purpose.

Offerings to the Earth Element c 2016

Offerings to the Earth Element

When we make offerings to the earth element we are honouring our body, without this vehicle we would not be able to experience the world in all its beauty. It gives us the chance to find happiness and joy. It is the very vessel that is filled with the light of creation and inhabiting it for a lifetime means we have a chance to awake to that inner light. It’s incredible when you stop to think about it, but that’s the problem, few do. When we walk a spiritual path it allows us to move forward on a journey upon the earth, this planet is a living body like our own. But how many people actually treat it as such?

Because we have disconnected from the earth we have become disconnected from our bodies and look at the amount of self-‐loathing we see in western cultures. The Craft has always told us to love our bodies, they are sacred and that’s why from time to time we take off our clothes and walk into nature. When we meet nature naked, we are free, we are totally beyond the trappings of culture because, once again, we have entered paradise. The Craft has always held ritual nudity to be a profound act, unfortunately because of our modern culture few these days feel comfortable disrobing. This is because we live in a highly sexualized society that has used sex and sexual images to sell almost everything, the images which have been used have been very limiting and exaggerated leaving many with a sense of inferiority about their own bodies. Remember we are born into this world naked and when we are free from the trappings of clothes we also have the opportunity to free ourselves from our ridged identities.

Offerings to the earth can include stones, salt, soil and food, go into nature, take your clothes off in the warmer months and feel the sun on your body, feel the wind caress you like a lover and embrace the natural world. Make your offerings to this element and thank it for giving you such a beautiful gift, your body the vehicle of your awakening.

Spell For Sunday – An Evaluation/Promotion Tarot Spell

(YOU CAN COPY AND PASTE ANY SPELLS POSTED TO A DOCUMENT TO PRINT AND/OR SAVE ON YOUR COMPUTER FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY)

An Evaluation/Promotion Tarot Spell

Got an evaluation coming up at work? There is nothing worse than having to go over a review form. You know you deserve a good raise, but how much will your manager or the company be willing to dole out? Or are you trying for a promotion? Sounds like it’s time to hedge your bets, so to speak. Try your hand at this tarot spell.

Gather the following:

• A carnelian tumbled stone for success and to boost your career or a quartz crystal point for extra power
• 1 yellow or gold candle (white will do in a pinch-it’s an all-purpose color)
• Three tarot cards: the Ace of Wands, the Sun, and the Chariot
• An item in sympathy with the spell that you are casting

You can also add the health, wealth, and success philter to this spell if you wish. Just anoint the spell candle with the solar-powered oil you have created.

What exactly is an item of sympathy? It is any item that is sympathetic to what you are working for. Since this is a job-related spell, an item in sympathy could be your recent paycheck stub, ID badge, or your business card. So, with that thought in mind, adding this sympathetic item to your other correspondences only helps to unify the magick. It does this by uniting the energies and giving you something very specific to focus on.

Arrange your items in front of the candle. If you wish, anoint the spell candle with the philter. Now, light the spell candle and focus on the cards and your item of sympathy, pathy, and then repeat the spell below three times. Check out the last line of the spell and adjust this as necessary.

Just like the golden child who rides under the sun
I call for recognition of a job well done
This spell candle illuminates my way
Bring success and wealth to all my days
Goddess, bless my ambitions, they are fair and true
While this higher career goal/promotion I do now pursue.

Close the spell by saying:

For the good of all, with harm to none
By the sun and stars, this spell is done.

Let the candle burn until it goes out on its own. Keep the carnelian in your pocket or purse, and the cards and your item of sympathy together and on your person for one week, until the following Sunday.

July 28, 2025 Current Southern Hemisphere/Tomorrow’s Northern Hemisphere Moon Phase

Source: nineplanets.org

The current moon phase for July 28th, 2025 is the Waxing Crescent phase.

On this day, the moon is 3.73 days old and 14.3% illuminated with a tilt of 155.27°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 392,944.27 km and the moon sign is Virgo.

The Moon phase for July 28th, 2025 is a Waxing Crescent phase. This is the phase where the moon started to become visible again after the New Moon.

In this part of the moon cycle, the Moon is moving away from the Sun and is becoming more and more illuminated by sunlight. In this phase, the moon will go from 0.1% to 49.9% illuminated before reaching the First Quarter phase.

In the Waxing Crescent phase the moon rises before noon in the east, transits the meridian before sunset, before setting in the west before midnight.

The Waxing Crescent phase, like all moon phases, will last for just over 7 days. The actual length will vary because of the elliptical shaped orbit of the moon. The moon is close to the Sun in the sky and the right edge will become brighter as it approaches 50% illumination and the First Quarter phase

Fun fact: although only a small part of the Moon is illuminated in the Waxing Crescent phase, you can still sometimes see the rest of moon as faintly visible. This is known as “earthshine” or Da Vinci glow and is a result of sunlight being reflected off the Earth and back to the Moon.

Who to Invite: If heads of state can’t make themselves available, check if Beyonce, Brad Pitt, or a Kardashian might squeeze the soiree into their schedules.

JULY 27 birthday horoscope predicts that you are a Leo that is unselfish, persuasive, and open-minded. Working with people can be an enjoyable experience for you as you have a humanistic approach to life and others. You are sensitive to other people’s needs and always ready to help them.

On the other hand, you like to spend time alone. Often people’s situations are stressful and can cause you to be irritable at times. Otherwise, the July 27th birthday personality shows you to be accommodating and very generous.

You know how to talk to people with your sensitive nature that is also patient. You give with your heart, and you do not expect anything in return.

This Leo birthday personality is one that gets a lot of attention. You sure are attractive, breathtaking even. Additionally, the July 27 zodiac meanings show you to be highly creative, and charming. They do not call you “magnificent” for nothing.

What your birthday says about you is that you can get along with anyone. Those with a zodiac birthday today are fierce. You can sell a turtle a coat in the summertime.

You are assured to have many friends because of this. You are just special and time spent with family, friends or coworkers, is time well spent. You make an excellent companion.

The July 27th horoscope shows that if you are born on this day, you are a Leo that loves expensive things. Your taste is almost elegant. Your home is lavish, and you drive the best car. Your motto is that you cannot take money to the grave. So, you spend it while you got it.

Money seems to come to you with ease. You feel that whatever money was lost, you can earn some more. Fast money never lasts long anyway. You are generous too. You do not spend it on yourself but help those in need.

However, your home is significant to you. Buying a home can be extremely expensive, and the process should be started early. Typically, those of you born today will want a place that is separate by itself.

You go out mainly to socialize and maintain friendships but you want peace and quite at home. You may need to call this Lion before coming over. The home is a place of serenity for Leo; it is a place you go to for relaxation. You may spend your time meditating. Look for an older family member who could have the perfect piece for your living room.

The July 27 astrology predicts that you as a person can be a real stick in the mud in many respects. This is good when policy needs to be enforced, but when it comes to other things like change, this can be a problem.

Leo’s are typically not thinkers but rather are creative and optimistic doers. A Lion born on this day is spiritual and finds meaning in whatever they do yet you do not expect anything in return.

As far a this Leo birthday’s career is concerned, you would do well in front of the camera, as acting could be your calling. You do have a flair for the dramatic and love to entertain. You, as someone born on this day, like to have the freedom to move about even at work. This would give you what you need.

Additionally, you make a great leader and are confident that money is to be made and not to make you. You are always busy doing something to make a dollar. It could very well be that you are a workaholic.

In general, the July 27th zodiac analysis says that you are hard workers, but when you relax, you do it big! A Lion likes to sleep or to lounge around at home. Leo personalities typically can do this for extended periods without complaint. It balances out I suppose with the time you spend working.

The Leo with a birthday on July 27 are exceptional Lions. You like people but tend to be private. You may need to protect your home. This is where you reinvent yourself for the next project. You have many friends, and you are not in a hurry to tie the knot. As the July 27th personality, you are busy trying to make a dollar and enjoy spending it as you see fit.

A list of 16 Common Witchcraft Spell Casting Essentials That Every Witch Should Have Source: wakeup.unhypnotize.com

These common witchcraft spell casting essentials are not listed in any particular order. They are listed in the order in which they came to me for the purpose of writing this article.

These are not the only common witchcraft spell casting essentials, however, they are some of the ones that I feel are the main ones.

THE most important witchcraft spell casting essential is intent. Without intent, you have nothing but words and actions, and not really a spell cast at all.

In no particular order, a list of Common Witchcraft Spell Casting Essentials

1. Salt

Used for cleansing and banishing. It is also used for protection during cleansing and banishing spells. Salt is a natural antiseptic. Salt is commonly used for circles for standing or sitting in while casting. It also ensures a clean spell.

2. Broom

Brooms are highly symbolic. Brooms symbolize the sweeping away of anything unwanted. They are used physically, as well as symbolically. You would use a broom to physically sweep away in a cleansing spell, banishing spell, also in some protection spells (ones that would rid unwanted energy from your home to keep it out).

3. Candles

Candles are used for focus and mood. Candles should be readily available in as many colors as you can get a hold of. Different colored candles hold symbolism for a variety of spells. Colors are chosen based on the nature of the spell and what feels right. White can be substituted for any color in the absence of the chosen color.

For example, some people like to use the color Red for love spells, or the colors Green or Gold for money spells, or Blue for healing spells, etc.

You can choose what colors feel right for you for any spell of your choosing. You do not have to go with the commonly used color associations if you feel another color will work better for you in a certain spell or ritual.

This is not a complete list of everything that you will ever need or that you will ever use in your spells and rituals, and it is not meant to be. It is simply a list of some of the most common witchcraft spell casting essentials that are important to ensure a great spell. You don’t need all of these things for each spell. You want to use any combination of the essentials (and anything else that you feel is necessary) in each individual spell.

Witchcraft Spells for Strength

Strength and power comes to those who use these spells. Strength is not only physical strength but also mental and magical.
When casting these spells, the target of the spell becomes stronger for a short period of time. These spells can not be reversed by magic but will wear off over time. Unlike other spells which wear off over time, the strength of the caster does not determine how long the spell lasts, but more the effect of how strong the target becomes.

Quickly clear your mind and say this. It will increase your physical strength.
“Strength of Day,
Strength of Night,
Give me strength,
Beyond my sight.”
This is a fairly simple spell, and of course you should change it according to your tastes.
–1 white candle (probably the bigger the better) –mirror
The candle should be cleansed before you begin, and could be infused with white energy,
the energy of love and strength. Meditate upon your intentions before you begin. why do
you need to empower yourself? Is it because you wish to realize the beauty within yourself,
or you wish others to see the beauty or strength you know that lies within you.
This spell also works best if you do a cleansing of yourself, whether it is bath or shower or just
visualize all of the negativity that you are carrying with you washing away.
The candle should be placed in front of the mirror, and the mirror should face you.
Light the candle. Feel the positive energy emanating from the candle.
If you worship a deity, call upon them to help you. Chant or say a prayer. This is an example:
I walk in beauty with the Goddess.
I am strength. I am beauty. I am will. I am love.
She is within me. All who see me, know Her.

Ingredients:

Purple bag or cloth Vervain Dragon’s blood resin Rosemary
Frankincense Galangal or ginger root High John oil, personal power oil or Dragon’s blood oil
1 Clear quartz crystal A personal talisman Purple Candle

Directions:

I suggest making up your own directions and spell for this one because it is a very personal pouch.
Add ingredients or objects that have meaning to you. One suggestion:
Try to sew on some small semi-precious stone chips or a stitched personal symbol.

This is a small spell I use quite often. Mostly when I’m stressing out because I can’t open
that pickle jar, the box is a little too heavy, or when the screwdriver just wont turn.

First, quickly clear your mind. Then repeat the following verse three times:Strength of day
Strength of night
Give me strength
Beyond my sight.
Now try that little chore agian it should be a lot easier than before!

(One Person’s View Point) Witchcraft 101: Naked c.2016

Witchcraft 101: Naked

There is a simple word that can strike fear into the heart of the bravest Witch: skyclad.

Skyclad is the word we use to mean, well, nude. As in, “This month’s full moon ritual will be done skyclad.”

Starkers, as the Brits say. In your birthday suit. Sans clothing. In your altogether. In short, buck-naked. Or as my dad used to say, “stark, nuked nade.”

Either way, it means you are out there under the moon with the breeze blowing through your, er….everything.

Some Witches are very comfortable practicing skyclad. Others wouldn’t do it on a bet. Still others save such dedication for their solitary rituals and prefer to wear garb when gathering with their fellow Witches.

All of the above is fine. There is no rule that says you have to perform Witchcraft naked (thank the Goddess), although there are some traditions where that is the norm. And although in the Charge of the Goddess it says “ye shall be naked in your rites,” this doesn’t mean that you have to stand outside at midwinter freezing your whatsits off.

As with most things witchy, you should use your own judgment and do what feels right to you. If you’re comfortable being naked, by all means do your rituals skyclad. If you’re not, you would probably find your nakedness so distracting that you wouldn’t be able to concentrate on your magick anyway, so there’s not much point to it.

The important thing to remember is that in the case of group rituals, you should discuss such things ahead of time and make sure that everyone agrees. There isn’t much that is more disconcerting than showing up at a ritual to find out that you are expected to disrobe when you weren’t planning on it.

(One Person’s View Point) Wicca, Witchcraft or Paganism?

As you study and learn more about magical living and modern Paganism, you’re going to see the words witch, Wiccan, and Pagan pretty regularly, but they’re not all the same. As if that wasn’t confusing enough, we often discuss Paganism and Wicca, as if they’re two different things. So what’s the deal? Is there a difference between the three? Quite simply, yes, but it’s not as cut and dried as you might imagine.

Wicca is a tradition of Witchcraft that was brought to the public by Gerald Gardner in the 1950s. There is a great deal of debate among the Pagan community about whether or not Wicca is truly the same form of Witchcraft that the ancients practiced. Regardless, many people use the terms Wicca and Witchcraft interchangeably. Paganism is an umbrella term used to apply to a number of different earth-based faiths. Wicca falls under that heading, although not all Pagans are Wiccan.

So, in a nutshell, here’s what’s going on. All Wiccans are witches, but not all witches are Wiccans. All Wiccans are Pagans, but not all Pagans are Wiccans. Finally, some witches are Pagans, but some are not – and some Pagans practice witchcraft, while others choose not to.

For many people, the embracing of an earth-based spirituality is a feeling of “coming home”. Often, people say that when they first discovered Wicca, they felt like they finally fit in. For others, it’s a journey TO something new, rather than running away from something else.

Different Traditions of Witchcraft c 2011

Different Traditions of Witchcraft

By Patti Wigington

In the Pagan community, there are a number of different spiritual traditions that fall under the umbrella of Wicca or Neowicca. Here are some of the most commonly discussed groups that you may find as you meet people of different Wiccan or Neowiccan traditions. There are different types and styles of Wiccan traditions — some may be right for you, and others not so much. Learn about the variations in spiritual paths even amongst Wiccans and NeoWiccan — some of the differences may surprise you!

Alexandrian Wicca

Founded by Alex Sanders and his wife Maxine, Alexandrian Wicca became a popular tradition during the resurgence of modern Paganism. Heavily influenced by Gardner and his tradition, Alexandrian Wicca uses a degree system and has ties to ceremonial magic systems.

Blue Star Witchcraft

The Blue Star tradition is one that is modeled on Gardnerian Wicca, but still manages to be different. Learn more about the Blue Star tradition of Witchcraft.

British Traditional Wicca

British Traditional Wicca is a term often used by Pagans in the U.S. to describe a specific set of covens in Britain. Find out what BTW is, and who qualifies to be part of it.

Circle Sanctuary

If you read much about Wicca and witchcraft, you’ve probably heard of Circle Sanctuary. But who are they, and why are they important?

Correllian Nativist Tradition

The Correllian Nativist Tradition is a well-known tradition of witchcraft today – find out who they are, and what they do.

Covenant of the Goddess

Covenant of the Goddess is a name that comes up often in discussion of Wiccan groups. Who are they, and what do they do?

Dianic Wicca

With origins in the feminist movement, Dianic Wicca has been embraced by many women trying to find an alternative to oppressive, patriarchal religion. One branch of the Dianic movement centers around the writings of Z Budapest, while other groups tend to be more eclectic. One facet they all have in common is a celebration of the Goddess only, instead of the dual God/Goddess practice often found in Wicca.

Eclectic Wicca

The phrase “eclectic Wicca” is a commonly used one, but it can have different meanings depending on who’s using it. Find out what Eclectic Wicca is, and who practices it.

Gardnerian Wicca

When Gerald Gardner founded Wicca in the 1950s, he set the wheels turning for countless other traditions to form. Many of today’s Wiccan covens can trace their origins back to Gardner, but the Gardnerians path itself remains initiatory and oathbound.

Is Christian Wicca a Valid Tradition?

A reader writes in asking about whether or not she can be both Christian and Wiccan. We also discuss that whole Biblical injunction about “thou shall not suffer a witch to live.”

Astrological symbol: Lion. This is the symbol of the Leo zodiac for people born July 23 – August 22. It is representative for power, courage, generosity and loyalty

The Leo Constellation with the brightest star being Alpha Leonis is spread on 947 sq degrees between Cancer to the West and Virgo to the East. Its visible latitudes are +90° to -65°, this being just one of the twelve zodiac constellations.

The Lion is named from the Latin Leo, the zodiac sign for July 25. In Italy it is named Leone while the French call it Leo.

Opposite sign: Aquarius. This means that this sign and Leo sun sign are in a complementary relation, suggesting creativity and authority and what one has the other lacks and the other way around.

Modality: Fixed. The quality proposes the extreme nature of those born on July 25 and their punctuality and logic in regard to most life situation.

Ruling house: The fifth house. This house represents a space where Leos can express freely such as entertaining places and pleasurable events. This place also relates to children and childhood games with their sheer joy and energy.

Lucky numbers: 3, 6, 10, 12, 26.

Motto: “I want!”

People born on July 25 benefit from being driven, persuasive and even romantic. Just like a true Leo, they are blunt and courageous when faced with any life matter. They love to win at everything, whether it is a competition or simply the success of a simple task. They dislike easily intimidated people and can’t stand to lose anything. Those born under this sign enjoy settings where they can control and lead everything.

Positive Traits: These natives are very sociable and are also in a great shape. This means they often resort to sport like activities to use their energy and to connect with other people. This can only nurture their competitive spirit further more. They are self motivated and honest but they only show these qualities when they are surrounded by equally understanding people.

Negative Traits: Acknowledging that they can’t behave all possessive and boastful is the way to go for these natives who are too supervising and too nonmalleable. They want to have it their way but they need to learn that settling would often do them more good then the perpetual bull headedness they are displaying when other people are trying to get a bit of the spotlight that is always on them. They can overreact in certain regards just for the sake of the controversy.

Love and Compatibility: Lovers born on July 25 are passionate and sensual. They like to take time and invest both emotionally and materially in the dating ritual. They are attracted to exciting and adventurous persons who are also very ambitious and can keep up with them. You can conquer the heart of Leo if you know how to balance the moments when you recognize their merits and celebrate them for who they are with the moments where you temper their risky impulses.

They are a sensitive lover who knows exactly how to adoringly treat their loved one. They offer the world to the person near them. However, the problem is that sometimes they prefer to suffer from unrequited love rather than make a move and win the heart of the person they want. Despite the fact that they are friendly and generally happy persons it is quite difficult for them to settle for someone, probably because they are expecting things to happen instead of making them happen. They are most compatible with those born on 1st, 2nd, 10th, 11th, 19th, 20th, 28th and 29th. July 25 Zodiac people are very attracted to the other fire signs: Aries and Sagittarius as they tend to share the same vision of life. In life, Leo is constantly seeking for a curious and passionate partner who can expand their horizon and the most suitable to offer this is the native from Aquarius. Leo is thought to be least compatible with Cancer. As for the rest of compatibilities between the other star signs and Leo, you know what they say, stars predispose but people dispose.

JULY 25 birthday horoscope predicts that you are someone special. You have special skills that are not common such as your interest in science or technological stuff. You pamper your loved ones and care for them.

You seem to enjoy things that challenge your knowledge and talents. Also, you could be a thorough person. Those born on this day are likely to be detailed, intuitive and responsible individuals.

As a Leo in love, you would never know it as you keep those feelings to yourself. In a committed relationship, you will never share everything, as some things should remain private, you feel. Nevertheless, the July 25 horoscope predicts that you are a Lion who is vigilant and distant even with your friends.

The July 25th birthday personality characteristics suggest that you are a cheerful Lion who has a great sense of humor, the gift of gab but you are respected. As an adult, you remain playful but mysterious.

Yes, you have everyone’s curiosity up wondering what is beneath your surface. It is a spiritual thing, and some would not understand. Those born on this birthday July 25 tend to see the best in all humans.

Perhaps, they have an idealistic opinion of people and the world. This quality also has its negative side, as you can be disappointed when it comes to imperfect people. With this in mind, it is hard for you to hold a grudge.

This Leo, according to the July 25 astrology, is normally doting, very attractive and alluring. However, this Lion can roar with jealousy as you have a possessive quality as well. You are very close to your family, but you love your independence as much as you do your family.

It is not typical that this Leo birthday person will settle down early on. You will be sure of your feelings before doing that. You may date someone for an extended period. Hopefully, you can commit to someone special, honest and giving.

Additionally, the Leo will be home most of the time so you can expect to enjoy the simple pleasures such as entertaining and showing off your home. The 25th July birthday meanings predict that after everyone has gone, you will find yourself full of energy, as your last performance will be the climax of the evening.

The money you make as a manager was certainly a good career move for you. Those of you are born today on July 25, like having responsibility. You have a lot of talents and skills that could be used by many places or departments. You are a true leader.

However, you may find that working for yourself allows you more freedom and brings in a good profit. The Leo that is too generous will soon find a bank account balance that is slowly dissipating. Be careful, as you cannot fix the world financially. You work too hard for your money to give it away.

The July 25 birthday personality report shows that this Leo is usually in decent health. However, you do not like to exercise or do you eat healthily. Not once do you think about what you are doing to your body? You are busy, I get that, but you can take small efforts to increase your health score.

For example, instead of going to the fast food joint, enjoy a sit-down meal from the special menu. There are plenty of delicious, healthy meals around 500 or so calories that most restaurants offer today. It certainly costs about the same amount of money, too. You could park your car at the end of the parking lot rather than closest to the door. Little things like this can make a big difference in the end.

The July 25th zodiac predictions show that you could be a geek as you are interested in scientific escapades and technical matters. You are close to your family, but mainly, you want to enjoy the company of someone who is loyal and honest such as yourself.

Those born on this day are Lions who give a lot but perhaps too generous as you may find yourself going deep into your pockets to help other people. While you are quick to help other people, you typically neglect your health.
