Leo Weekly Horoscope

This week starts out with an opportunity to dish out some very strong, and very shocking, medicine which no one will forget for quite some time, Leo, so don’t be shocked if it feels like you brought a cannon to a knife fight. The reason for this is that on Wednesday, the 8th, rebellious Uranus will reach out from Taurus and your 10th House of Career and Ambition and form a potent yet supportive sextile with action-planet Mars in Pisces and your intense 8th House of Secrets and Shared Resources. This is going to stir up your urge to show people how competent and capable you are, and you will have no problem pulling out all the stops to make sure they get the message. Perhaps you show up to work in order to pitch a new approach to an old problem, or a sudden crisis at the office becomes just the right opportunity for you to flex your ingenuity and save the day all at once. The 8th House can sometimes drop windfalls in your lap, as the 8th House deals with lump sums as opposed to a regular income or paycheck (that is a 2nd House matter), so if any payouts do come your way, then you can expect them to be one large bonanza, rather than smaller, incremental amounts. Work hard and be willing to think outside the box, because the results can be very impressive.

Fortunately, the energy takes a turn for something less intense and much more enlightened the very next day, as Mars leaves behind your secretive 8th House and flies into Aries and your 9th House of Adventure and Expansion. This transit is all about getting out into the world in order to do some exploring, but even if you can’t go very far, you can still be something of an armchair explorer rather than a literal one, and broaden your horizons by learning a thing or two about other sectors of the globe. This same sector is also the realm of self-edification, so start looking up ways to improve yourself because by improving yourself you can also improve your net worth; new skills means new things you can charge for. If going back to school sounds appealing, then how about checking out some online courses? You could gain a lot of knowledge without having to leave your own home, but there’s lots to be found far, far away.

Still, the boundaries and limitations on your life may seem to waver Sunday evening, when Mars makes a very rare conjunction to mystical Neptune, which hasn’t happened in Aries since the mid-1800s. Mars wants to push you forward, while Neptune wants you to simply float along on an aimless tide, so it could be difficult to establish what you actually want or where you actually want to go, especially when you can just follow vibes. Instead of getting wrapped up in this energy, remember that it will evaporate in a day or two, and the world will become clearer to you soon enough.
