Leo Weekly Horoscope

Everything is slowing down and becoming more personal this week, Leo. The energy takes a very grounded turn on the 30th when messenger Mercury moves into Scorpio and your foundational 4th House of Family and Feelings. For the last few weeks the cosmic communicator has been flying through Libra and your buzzy 3rd House, but now it is time to come back home to focus on everything going on under your own roof. Mercury loves to stir up the energy wherever it goes, so you may notice more developments at Chez Leo, or perhaps there are more people coming and going than usual, making this a very social time with lots of fun things to do. You may also decide to roll up your sleeves and tend to a few important projects around the house, but you don’t want to get too carried away just yet because Mercury will be turning retrograde here in late October for three weeks, during which time you may need to revamp a few things, and put out a few metaphorical fires around the house, so take things slowly and only focus on fixing what needs to be fixed or improved, then leave bigger, more adventurous projects for after Mercury turns direct once again in mid-November.

Your 4th House continues to be the focus of the week on the 3rd, when alluring Venus turns retrograde in Scorpio and your domestic sector, and will continue backing up until eventually turning direct on November 13th, the same day as Mercury, though Venus will actually return to Libra in late October to complete the rest of her retrograde cycle in your chatty 3rd House. In the meantime, avoid making aesthetic changes to your home as they probably won’t turn out to be what you want, and will cost far more than they should. Romance may also seem like a foreign subject, and everyone may feel a bit more rough around the edges. That being said, this cycle can be great for identifying what is not working for you regarding your internal or domestic life, so use this as an opportunity to troubleshoot, then you can begin to make more enjoyable changes once Venus is awake again.

Last but not least, the Sun and Saturn make their annual opposition on the 4th, and this year the Sun is in Libra and your 3rd House of Local Community and Communications, while sober Saturn is in Aries and your 9th House of Expansion and Higher Learning. On this particular day, you might well feel like it’s impossible to get your ideas across, or perhaps you feel that all your efforts have been in vain, or perhaps that you simply don’t understand all the things you thought you did. While it’s good to evaluate yourself sometimes, don’t let this energy drive you off the deep end; it’s only temporary and you can be introspective and decide you need to make a change without throwing your whole life into upheaval.
