Situations improve around you when you’re in the mood for some fun and play! This is definitely the time to lighten up and stop taking everything that anyone says, or does, in such a personal way. Your life belongs to YOU and it’s up to you to decide what you want to do with it. The playful Sun in Sagittarius, a fellow fire sign to you, is helping you to creatively, and wisely, transform your life. Your life doesn’t have to be so hard for you. Try to do things in an easier way. It’s time to simplify your life. If you have a stressful situation going on, or many that you don’t want to deal with right now, you are allowed to put them aside for awhile. Let this week be one of personal joy for you. Even if you have to fake it until you make it…at least you’re on the right track. SMILE Leo…SMILE!
Leo's weekly horoscopes
Are you sick and tired of being sick and tired? Are you really ready to lighten up and begin to enjoy your life? This IS the week when you need to begin to give yourself permission to do this! The vibrant Sun moves into your 5th house of fun and play, recreation and re-creation, early on Tuesday morning. Beautiful Venus and Mercury are already there stimulating your love life, and your social life, with energy and flair! The New Moon in Sagittarius, early on Friday morning, will open new doors of opportunity for you to say, “Yes” to fun and play and “No” to situations that just get in your way. It’s time for you to do what you love and love what you do. Nothing else is going to make you happy unless you begin to really be True to YOU! Now Mercury will be going into retrograde (introverted) motion early on Thursday morning which may make you feel like being quite secretive regarding areas of your life that you won’t want to share with some people around you. That’s okay, your life belongs to you. Your karma is your own and as long as you’re being responsible for yourself then you’ve earned your right to have your freedom. Mercury will be in retrograde motion until the evening of 12/13. Just be extra careful of indiscreet love affairs. Make sure that whoever you might be involved with is being honest. This can be a fun, steamy, loving and passionate time for you Leo! Put your hard work aside, just for a little while, it’s time for you to have some fun!
Your main concentration and focus should be on your work and your family. Obviously you can’t be in two places at once, thus you need to make a plan (and stick to it) that when you’re at home you’ll leave your work at the workplace. If you can’t do this because you have too many duties and responsibilities that you have to get done then you need a home office where you can quietly shut the door so that you can figure things out in peace. The people, and animals, that you live with desire your undivided attention when you’re at home, but if you can’t give this to them now then you need to communicate, in a nice way, why you’re feeling so distracted…so that they won’t take it personally and believe that you just don’t want to spend time with them. If they don’t know what’s going on then they will naturally act out in a negative way to get your attention. If you don’t want more drama going on at home then it’s important that you either plan on spending more quality time with them OR at least let them know that you have a lot of stress going on at work, with important deadlines to meet, but that you’ll plan on doing something special with them in the near future. You can expect yourself to be really busy and the last thing you need is more drama in your life. Calm down the drama by communicating, in a positive way, with those you love. As long as you don’t yell, or expect them to read your mind, they will understand.
You’ve probably felt overly agitated by almost everyone and everything for quite some time. You can begin to relax once Mars, the planet of intense energy, moves out of your sign on Wednesday night. By the time you get up on Thursday morning you can begin to allow yourself to become calmer. You know how you’ve been wearing yourself out. Try to pace yourself in a more productive way. Day by day, night by night, situations won’t seem as intense as they had been. You need to realize too that while Mars has been in your sign it’s been very difficult for other people to be around you. Even you may have had a hard time living with yourself. Mars is the planet of war-like energy, thus you may have felt that you had plenty of battles to take on over the past month or so. Keep in mind, dear Leo, that Mars will continue to be in your sign until very late on Wednesday night, so try not to pick any more fights, especially with those who are closest to you. Yes, these people may have deserved to have the wrath of you, but did you deserve to fight within yourself too? Try, if you can, to use your intense energy in a positive way. You really can accomplish a lot in a very productive way. Try not to burn yourself out, which has been a big problem for many of you lately. The Full Moon energy on Thursday afternoon, which can be felt by you as early as Wednesday morning, may intensify matters. You may feel like a volcano that wants to erupt, or you may just feel like running away from everything, and everyone, right now. Especially your career, and personal reputation, will weigh heavily on your mind. Take it easy Leo. This is a passing phase. Be grateful for everything that IS going right in your life. Come on…you can do it!
Who said that life has to be all work and no play? Whoever it was…it certainly wasn’t you. If you feel pressured by your constant daily duties and personal obligations then you need to turn off your inner boss and start listening to your inner child. You deserve to have some quality time off to do what you want to do. If everything falls apart while you’re gone…it doesn’t have to be your problem…unless you really want it to be. You are learning that you have a right to expect others to pick up some of the slack. At the very least they should know how to be responsible for themselves. With the Sun moving through your 4th house of home and family issues - this is the area of your life that will bring you the biggest challenges right now. Starting on Wednesday both Mercury and Venus will move into your 5th house of recreation and fun. If the people in your life, especially those that are closest to you, don’t show you some help and respect…well you may just go on strike and run off into the arms of someone else who will! You’re ready, more than ready, to make some changes in your life. Your life belongs to you and you realize that if you don’t start doing something about the quality of your life…then who will? You’re tired of people taking advantage of you. It’s time to turn your life around and focus on what makes you happy! After all, feeling miserable is not your true nature. It’s time to make yourself happy, especially if no one around you seems to want to. Smile Leo! It will make those negative people around you wonder what you’re up to!
Both your home and career obligations will be pulling you in opposite directions. You are only ONE person and you shouldn’t expect, nor should others expect, you to be able to do the work of two, or more, people all at the same time. You deserve to be calm and not feel so overwhelmed by everyone and everything. The best thing that you can do is to set the ground rules and expect those around you to follow them. If they do then you’ll reward them in many ways. If they don’t…well, God help the person who goes against your grain right now. Your desire to keep the peace is strong, especially for those who mean the world to you. If anyone instigates problems, or hurts someone that you love, that person will see the true Lion, that you are, coming out of you. A good Halloween T-shirt for you right now would say, “Beware! Don’t tick me off!”
Venus in Scorpio squares (challenges) Mars in Leo through the end of the month - which stimulates feelings like jealousy and competition in your life. There can be much tension and obstacles seem to keep getting in your way. People, in general, can stress you out with their greedy and self-centered ways. Your personal relationships are definitely being tested. If you’re with someone who is not good for you then the relationship will come to a heated end. If there are arguments, but you still stay together, then there’s hope that this relationship is passing the test and will last for a long time to come. You have until the end of the month until this phase passes and your relationships flow more harmoniously. Take it easy Leo. The Moon will be in your sign Thursday morning through Saturday morning, which might make you feel a bit more emotional than usual. There’s no use YOU stressing yourself out too. You are learning how important it is to be your own best-friend. You need someone that you can rely on and if that’s not yourself, in a fun-loving and comforting way…then who could it be? Those of you with genuine fun-loving friends are very lucky indeed. Spend quality time with them as often as possible and allow their positive energy to rub off on you! Someone who was once a close intimate friend misses you and thinks of you often. Your life paths will cross again, in a very mysterious way, in the not too distant future.
With the Sun in Libra (your 3rd house), Mars in Leo (your 1st house which is all about YOU) and the Full Moon energy early this week (your 9th house) this can be quite a successful week for you. Communication flows in your favor. A situation that you thought seemed hopeless begins to become more successful for you. Long distance travel and legal matters also should work quite well. The only area of your life that may continue to be frustrating is in trying to figure out how to get your family to pick up after themselves and cooperate with you. Even in this area of your life, now that beautiful Venus has moved into the area of your chat regarding your home and family…a kind and loving attitude may be all that it takes to bring you more peace. You can accomplish more with a little sugar than you can with a whip in your hand. It’s time to begin to do things in an easier way. Be good to yourself Leo. Use your abundant energy in a positive way.
Dear Leo, why have you been feeling so down and depressed? Why are you not as optimistic as you used to be? You can probably make a list of all of the people and situations which give you plenty of reasons ‘why’ you feel the way that you do, when it actuality your outer life is a reflection of the ways that you’ve been feeling inside of you. If you want your outer life to be more positive and optimistic then now is the time for you to do some soul searching and figure out how you CAN feel more joyful inside of YOU. Mars is in your sign giving you the energy to focus on your life - and yourself - so that you can decide on what you desire that will make you happy. Mars in Leo squares (challenges) optimistic Jupiter in your 10th house of career. The only thing holding you back from the true success that you desire, so sorry to say this, is YOU. Your outer life IS a reflection of what’s going on inside of you. Change your attitude and opinions about yourself into positive ones and soon you will see your outer life become easier for you. Stop feeling guilty and playing the blame game Leo. You know that you’re a wonderful person. Start believing it and others will too!
Your ruling planet is the powerful Sun. Whatever sign the Sun is in will determine your personality traits, and focus, throughout that period of time. Right now the Sun is in the sign of Libra, along with Libra’s ruling planet Venus, which adds a loving power to the Sun. Mercury and Saturn are also in the sign of Libra adding an ability to communicate, dedicate, and help you to make important decisions in your life now. Your focus is going to be on how you can make your personal surroundings, no matter where you are, or where you go, more comfortable for yourself. Balance, peace, harmony, along with some personal action in the right direction is what you desire now. You want to be able to succeed without having to put too much effort into everything. You want to keep the peace and not have to fight for what you believe in. You have a strong desire for others to agree with you, which they may easily do if you have the right attitude. It’s time to find the peace you seek within yourself first and then you can bring that guiding light outside of yourself for others to follow. The New Moon energy, early on Tuesday morning, can help you to create the changes needed for a calmer and healthier you.
