Daily Horoscope for Leo Summary

There's a very strong gravity to this weekend's energy. Venus is at odds with Pluto and this has the potential to put boatloads of pressure on people, depending on their personal situations. First and foremost it can create feelings of desperation and intense longing if you aren't in a relationship (or if you're unhappy in the one that you're in). The single folks can get a strong desire to find someone to be with, which might cause them to do things they'd normally never do.

In exactly the same fashion, it's going to really hit those in financial need hard. People might agree to things they'd never do just to get a paycheck to help pay the bills (or whatever else they need). On one hand, you can spin energy like this in a positive way; at least it is going to drive people to do things differently than they have been doing in order to change situations in their lives that they don't care to accept any more. On the other hand, there's the potential for many of those “sick to your stomach” type moments that can derail people from their normal methods. It makes perfect sense though; this transit wants to drive people to change, and it will do so at any cost.

Some people are going to hit their FIT (F it threshold) and decide enough is enough. The quicker you come to the realization that staying the course here is going to get you more of the same that you've been getting, and the quicker you start doing things differently, the faster this energy is going to turn around in your favor.

As we head into Sunday, we will have the advantage of Mercury starting a new cycle in one of it's ultra-strong positions. We'll have the advantage of communication and intelligence on our sides. Don't be afraid to talk to others. Share what's bugging you or even what's making you feel great. It's easy to forget that community is the best thing we have going for us as people. Utilize yours. Best of luck.

The Daily Horoscope for Leo

Quicksand would be a good metaphor for this energy. The harder you work, the more you're going to get sucked down. It's not going to be enough to put forth “balls to the wall” effort. You must work smarter. It's going to be about technique and if you can't learn new techniques, you're not going to get ahead. This is a time where you must be open to changes in methodology, but you'll have the support of others in your corner as long as you're willing to evolve and get better at what you do. Make sure you fall back on these people when the going gets tough.

...Show some Love...

The cosmos is a vast living body, of which we are still parts...
