Leo Horoscope for July 11, 2024

Your own extravagance can shock you today as you indulge your desire for luxury by buying expensive furniture, artwork, or decorative objects. The impulses compelling you to spend this money likely stem not from greed, but rather from a very real need to surround yourself with beauty. If a recent low humor or tragic event made your world seem gray, you may just be looking for an easy and effective way to add color and sparkle to your life. You should, however, consider limiting your consumption today by treating yourself only to those goods that touch your heart deeply, or purchasing simpler yet still uplifting items, like fresh flowers.

In surrounding ourselves with beauty, we reaffirm our commitment to a worldview in which the gifts of existence deserve our awe rather than our cynicism. Because worldly affairs are tinged by a patina of ugliness, we can easily forget that the universe as a whole, at its very heart, is a divine and orderly place. In the presence of beauty, we find the inner serenity that acts as a counterbalance to the stressful nature of our outer-world concerns. The rigors of modern life seem unimportant in the face of loveliness so immersive that it transforms us to the very fiber of our beings and infuses our souls with tranquility. We are reminded again and again that the time we spend on earth is a gift that should be savored to its full extent. As you indulge your desire for beauty today, you will feel a renewed sense of wonder.
