Leo Weekly Horoscope

Get ready for a week which is going to pull you in a few different directions, so don’t be shocked if you encounter a few unexpected surprises or revelations this week. First and foremost, you’re going to experience a major shift on the 6th, and you will be experiencing this shift more than most signs of the zodiac. On this day, action planet Mars will turn retrograde in your sign and your 1st House of Self-Expression, encouraging you to become more circumspect in the way you express your energy and pursue your ambitions, because it is easier than usual to burnout or spin your wheels recklessly when the warrior planet is asleep like this. Come January, Mars will reenter Cancer and your 12th House of the Subconscious before turning direct again at the end of February, but for now the best way to approach anything is slowly and carefully, making a conscious point not to overexert yourself in the process.

There is better news to come on the 7th, when Neptune finally wakes up after spending the last five months spinning backwards in retrograde formation in Pisces and your all-or-nothing 8th House of Shared Resources and Intimacy. For you, this is going to help you gain clarity around your finances and any complicated credit matters that might have gotten bogged down recently, but you could also reach a breakthrough moment with someone special, especially if you’ve had trouble connecting recently. An ah-ha moment is on the way, you just have to keep your eyes peeled and you’ll see it.

Your partnerships are about to start taking more and more precedence in your life. Also on the 7th, romantic Venus will leave Capricorn and your 6th House of Daily Work and Routine and move into your 7th House of Partnerships and Contracts, putting a spark in your love life once again, but also with any other important plus-ones, be they professional or platonic. If things have hit the skids with someone special this transit will offer you more than one opportunity to make things right once again. Granted, messenger Mercury recently turned retrograde in your passionate 5th House and will be backing up until December 15th, so if any lovers from the past pop up, do your best to consider whether or not they were meant to stay in the past before you start making any declarations or major changes.
