Leo Weekly Horoscope

This week feels direct and sudden one moment, only for the energy to take a sudden turn and channel itself elsewhere at the last minute, Leo. You may feel as though you are missing part of the picture on the 4th, when fiery Mars squares off against Jupiter, creating some rather combustible energy in the skies above. Mars is in your 9th House of Expansion and Adventure, driving you to explore more of the world, but Jupiter is currently in your hidden 12th House of the Subconscious, making it difficult to figure out the proper path forward, or to make any stable plans. It may seem as though you are supposed to travel a mile a minute, but where are you supposed to be going? That being said, Jupiter wants to send opportunities your way, so you could encounter an unexpected chance to broaden your horizons, but do your due diligence before signing up for anything; you may be missing a key part of the puzzle that will prove very important down the line.

Come the 6th, Pluto, the transformative alchemist of the zodiac, turns retrograde for five months of deep inner soul changes. Pluto is working his way through Aquarius and your 7th House of Relationships and Contracts, holding up the nearest-and-dearest in your life and subjecting them to some close inspection. It’s not always easy to see your part in your relationships, and sometimes we rely on others to act as a mirror of ourselves, but during this retrograde phase you must truly examine what role you play in your relationships. Where are you taking and where are you giving? More importantly, is it equal? You should have a good answer by the time Pluto turns direct in mid-October, so get to work and start excavating.

Later in the week, on the 9th, we’ll witness a balancing Half Moon in Aquarius and your partnership sector, reminding you to touch base with the nearest and dearest in your life. Is there someone special who hasn’t been getting enough of your attention lately? If a relationship has hit the skids then this could be just the right energy to get it back to where it belongs, so don’t be scared of reaching out and bearing your soul. That being said, remember that there is a difference between reaching out and healing, as opposed to reaching out to rake something up that should stay where it is. Use your discretion.

Sunday the 10th could be a wonderfully positive day, but try not to direct events too much and instead let yourself go along for the ride. The Sun in Taurus and your ambitious 10th House will make a supportive sextile to Jupiter, which will create lots of opportunities for you to enjoy yourself and even make professional progress, but these opportunities will arrive when you least expect them, so avoid entering this day with any expectations or pre-conceived notions; the more open you are to any possibility, the more you can enjoy it!
