Well, the Sun and Mercury have moved along, breaking up the Grand Cross and taking a lot of the overall pressure off of people. It's not a free ride though; we've still got the underlying T-Square active, and without any other super-potent aspects, we'll feel the effects more distinctly, though at this point you should be well versed in what challenges will come as a result. It's all about dealing with them.

For today, we've still got the Sun and Mercury close, which will improve overall communications to an extent, in addition to providing a little extra mental sharpness. Plus, even when you aren't sure about something, it shouldn't be too hard to find answers; we'll be better equipped to ask smart questions and others will provide better answers too. So if you need to find something important out, this would be the right time to ask.

There's also a Venus-North Node interaction going on as well. This can provide a boost in the financial or romantic areas of life. Don't chalk things up to "random encounters". With the North Node involved, there's usually a level of importance to the things that happen (the potential to shift your future path).

Out of the blue, I ended up watching "Hot Tub Time Machine" last night, which kind of got me thinking about how it's often the little actions that have the biggest effects on how things turn out. Sometimes it's the conversation you seek out (or deliberately avoid) that sends you down a completely different path. Anyways, keep this in mind today. Some things in life seem fated, while others are left entirely up to us. Make the most of the decisions you are given, because there can be some awesome developments as long as you invest yourself in them. Best of luck.

Horoscope for Leo

No matter what decisions you make in your relationships, you won't have any self-doubts about them. They might not always turn out in your favor, but those that don't you can chalk up to fate or luck not going your way. When dealing with others, you can have a supreme level of self-confidence, but it's not going to be overbearing either, which will also help these interactions. This is a good day for starting a new romantic relationship or a business opportunity. Just keep in mind that if you do, the development is a gradual process that you shouldn't seek to rush along.
