Leo Weekly Horoscope

The world is opening up to you in a lovely way this week, Leo. It all begins on the 30th, when loving Venus leaves behind Pisces and your extreme 8th House after a lengthy tour, and bounds into Aries and your garrulous 9th House of Expansion and Adventure. With this shift in the skies, while the world might have felt very boxed up, romantically speaking, your options are going to suddenly feel much more endless. Coupled Leos can look forward to bringing a little spice and excitement into the bedroom, so don’t be afraid to try something new, while singles should widen their search radius. The world is full of so much beauty and sensory pleasure, so do your best to dive in and experience as much as you can.

This 2nd arrives with one of the loveliest alignments in astrology, as Venus and dreamy Neptune make their yearly conjunction, offering you the chance to make a few long-distance dreams come true. With the Goddess of Love acting up in this far-flung territory, you might find yourself more interested in the exotic than usual, finding strangers with sexy accents much more exciting than the next door-type. That being said, Neptune can dissolve as easily as it can create, so if you realize that you and a certain someone aren’t actually on the same page regarding your values, it might become all too clear at this time. It is worth noting, however, that this is the third time these two planets are conjoining, thanks to Venus’s recent retrograde phase, so whatever matter comes to a head now will likely feel rather familiar.

Later in the week, on the 4th, there’s an important lunation that will be impacting you deeply, a balancing Half Moon in your sign, reminding you to take stock of your life and your goals and make sure they are in alignment. This is neither a planting period nor one for harvesting, but simply a check-in time. Where do you stand on the road to your goals? Are you further along than you’d like, or have you perhaps fallen behind a way? It’s time to do what you need to get yourself to where you want to be, so focus on what is missing or standing in the way, and deal with that.

Also on the 4th, Pluto, the transformative alchemist of the zodiac, will turn retrograde for five months of deep inner soul changes. Pluto is working his way through Aquarius and your 7th House of Relationships, 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 your part in 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, so get to work and start excavating.
