Leo Weekly Horoscope

Your emotions may require a bit of monitoring early this week, Leo, so don’t be entirely shocked if you feel a little all over the place. Mercury and Venus are coming together at the same degree of your sensitive 4th House, which would normally be a great time for enjoying domestic comforts and surrounding yourself with loved ones, but Venus is currently retrograde, so you may feel more like a stick in the mud than anything else, and other people’s input or company will seem like an imposition. Likewise, this would normally be a great time for some aesthetic updates to your abode, but with Venus backtracking, you probably won’t love the results.

Things will be more pleasurable on the 7th when Uranus in Gemini and your 11th House of Social Connections sextiles action planet Mars, currently rotating through your own sign and 1st House of Action. Mars is giving the energy to go after what you want, while eccentric Uranus is putting you in touch with new kinds of people from all over. Be willing to open yourself up to new experiences and connections, because the more you expose yourself to other people (figuratively speaking) the more satisfaction you’ll find. Mars could also inspire you to play leader at this time, so don’t feel shy about rounding up the group for a fun evening, whether that group is one that’s already been established, or one you’ve taken the liberty of constructing all on your own.

The 10th arrives with a beautiful New Moon in Libra and your 3rd House of Local Community and Communications, stirring up the energy around you and sending exciting opportunities to connect with both new and familiar faces. Be sure to keep your eyes and ears open because the Universe doesn’t want you to keep your head in the sand and hide away. The more you get out and about, and the more you keep in touch with people, the more likely you’ll be able to reap rewards for your efforts, so go circulate. By the time the Libra Full Moon arrives in six months, you could have some wonderful new friendships and brilliantly blossoming ideas to show for it.

The 10th also includes a square between Venus and Mars, which could feel like someone is pushing your buttons, or perhaps your own reactions are larger than life at this time. You may also feel exceptionally passionate or romantic, but don’t overdo it because it is easy to go overboard and wind up scaring away the object of your affection. A measured approach will be most effective, especially since you yourself might wind up questioning your motives and desires when Venus turns direct once more.
