Leo Weekly Horoscope

This week puts a major focus on your work and ambitions, Leo, but there will still be plenty of opportunities for you to enjoy yourself. Action planet Mars has spent the last six weeks heating up your 5th House of Passion and Pleasure, but that phase comes to an end on the 15th as the red planet dives into Capricorn and your 6th House of Daily Work and Wellness for the first time in two years. This transit is all about streamlining your life to make sure you’re going about it as efficiently as possible and maximizing your time to the best of your ability. If you’ve been cutting corners or letting yourself get more than a little lazy, well, enough of that! This cycle can also help you drastically improve your health, and if you’ve been putting off any visits to the doctor or any other specialist, now is the moment to book that appointment. The red planet will be here until January 23rd, and by the time Mars moves on again you could be in the shape of your life, so get to it!

The 19th arrives with a beautiful New Moon in Sagittarius and your passionate 5th House of Romance and Creativity. This is a wonderful opportunity to plant the seeds of something that could bring a lot of happiness into your life, so don’t be scared to dive into something special and new, whether you’re leading with the heart, or standing center stage where everyone can see you. You can dedicate your energies to romance, the arts, or even children, if you’re so inclined, so try to gain clarity around what special developments you would like to experience in your life, and they could easily manifest by the time the Sagittarius Full Moon arrives in six months. This sector also loves to take a change or a gamble, so if there is something you’re a little uncertain of or have been scared to try, go ahead and bet on yourself because it could prove more successful than you’d ever imagine.

On the 21st the primal Sun blasts into Capricorn and your orderly 6th House of Routine and Healthy Living for its annual visit. For the last four weeks you had the Sun moving through your freewheeling 5th House, but it’s finally time to buckle down and get serious. Since this area of your chart rules your workaday routine, among other things, don’t be surprised if you see things begin to pick up at the office–or wherever it is you go to earn your money right now–because that’s exactly where your attention will be focused for the time being. Don’t worry that things will be so dull all of a sudden, however; messenger Mercury will still be in Sagittarius until January 1st, so people will have a hard time missing you, and you’ll have a hard time missing them, for that matter.
