Leo Weekly Horoscope

This week puts a lot of focus on your emotions, Leo. You’ve probably been on something of a social whirlwind for the last month while the Sun toured your 3rd House of Local Community and Communications, but there is a shift in the cosmic vibrations as el Sol moves into Scorpio and your 4th House of Family and Feelings on the 23rd. The next month is really about nesting and tending to matters on the home front, so don’t be surprised if you feel less outgoing than usual, and want to spend more time puttering around the house. That being said, you can still find ways to make exciting progress at home, perhaps by turning part of your living room into a home office or asking your boss for a few more work-from-home days a week. Romance doesn’t have to be completely kaput either; how about you do a few things to add some flare to Chez Leo? A few nice candles and some silk sheets can go a long way to making you feel more in touch with your sensual side during these quieter times.

However, your nest might get a little shaken up on the 24th when messenger Mercury turns retrograde in Scorpio until November 13th; over the next three weeks, it wouldn’t be one bit surprising if you’d prefer to putter around the house rather than out on the town, seeing to little repairs and spending more time on the couch. Since retrogrades are all about the ‘re’ part: return, revisit, review, redo, reorganize, etc, etc, etc, how about looking for ways around the house to make use of what you already have? Clearing out some clutter could unearth a few treasures other people will be willing to pay good money for, so start looking; just make sure you don’t discard something precious along the way! You’ll also want to be careful about getting into any dust-ups with the people living under your roof; with Mercury throwing a wrench in the works, it will be only too easy for wires to get crossed as you try to end up on the same page, albeit unsuccessfully. Your emotions may also feel a little haywire at this time, so make sure to take any chance you can to decompress and rest.

As it turns out Venus has also been retrograde in Scorpio recently, but that energy is changing too, because on the 25th Venus will back up out of your domestic 4th House and return to Libra and your buzzy 3rd House for the remainder of her retrograde cycle, where she will eventually turn direct on November 13th, the same day as Mercury. In the meantime, don’t be shocked if a few old flames pop up in your life when you least expect it, or there are a few surprising moments of serendipity that bring back people you haven’t heard from in a while; still, don’t welcome anyone back in who doesn’t deserve a spot in your life!
