Welcome to Intuitive Astrology with Molly McCord. Thank you so much for joining me as we're going to look at the astrological energies from July 31st to August 7th. As the month of August begins with some excitement, movement, new openings that you could be feeling strongly. There is a revival of self coming through as well as

to see in ourselves. And that's because August 1st

begins with the sun in Leo trining the North Node in Ares at 9 degrees. Now this does happen on July

31st as well. So July 31st and August 1st are very important days

towards an energy that has been developing and growing for you through the North Node in
