Leo Weekly Horoscope

You may feel a little uncertain of where your boundaries lie early this week, Leo. With the Sun in Cancer and your dreamy 12th House, you might be tempted to lean into escapist tendencies, but the world will come calling on the 6th when the Sun forms a tough square to taskmaster Saturn in Aries and your worldly 9th House of Expansion and Adventure. If you’ve been letting yourself coast along too much then you might get called out for not doing enough towards your own development, or perhaps you look in the mirror and realize you need to have a talk with yourself. This is a day for confronting truths and patterns, and it might not be all that pleasant. Take truths to heart but also take them with a grain of salt; after all, this transit is not permanent, and Saturn isn’t here to waste your time, but to help you make the most of it.

On the 7th, Neptune turns retrograde in Aries and your boundless 9th House until mid-December, but this isn’t one of those retrograde phases you need to fear. When moving forward, Neptune can help us imagine new possibilities, but it can also create illusions and fantasies that won’t get us anywhere when all is said and done; fortunately, this retrograde cycle will stop Neptune from creating new mirages before us, and instead allow us to get clear on any recent developments Neptune stirred up. You have now until the end of the year to get a better sense of things, and divide facts from fiction.

Next, on the 9th, romantic Venus will leave your sign. You might have learned a lot of lessons about love over the last month, or faced some hard truths about a certain relationship, but it’s time to move on as Venus enters Virgo and your 2nd House of Income for the next four weeks. This will orient your attention onto matters more tangible than emotional, but after the romantic roller coaster you’ve been on, it’s time to finally get things settled with a shift in focus. This could be an especially lucrative time for you, so whether you’re looking for a new job or just a raise, Venus will do her part to see you get it. Likewise, Venus will ensure you have plenty of things to spend your money on, so don’t be shocked if everything you see suddenly becomes a must-have.

You could have a revelation or two on the 12th as the Sun and your ruler Mercury will conjoin in Cancer and your dreamy 12th House of the Subconscious. This would be the perfect time to gain clarity around a subject that has perhaps been bugging you for some time, or perhaps to finally release some old drama or toxic baggage you’ve been carrying around. Focus on cleaning out your mental house so you can fill it with new and exciting things down the line when Mercury is moving direct and both heavenly bodies have entered your own sign.
