Daily Horoscope for Leo Summary

The fates like to overload us at times, and this is one of those charts that can do just that. Sun across Neptune, Venus and Mars together, Mercury retro, the T-Square. Unfortunately, living in a bomb shelter and riding the storm out is no way to handle things, so we've got to deal. No way around it.

The Sun-Neptune energy should be good and warmed up by this weekend. It deals with troubles with reality, problems with dreams and such. There can also be issues where a cause doesn't result in the effect it's supposed to have, which can lead to some confusion. Once you add in Mercury retro, people are going to be wandering aimlessly, trying hard to get a grasp of what's going on around them, but this won't come easily. There's going to be a lot of cluelessness going on out there, with some accidents for sure (be careful, and more importantly, attentive, in the car). Some of the comments people can make have no basis in fact, as they can say whatever's running through their mind at that particular second. So you need to navigate around this. With Mercury in Virgo, this is all about getting the details right. Even if you have a premise down, if you don't know how it all fits together, you'll be lost if things are presented in a different light.

Venus-Mars injects the love and romance aspect into things as well. If you're lucky, these types events will manifest on their own, where there can be very positive developments. But you kind of have to deal with things on the surface and in the immediacy of the moment. Thinking about things will cause you to lose sight of what's really happening, where you might make a connection steamier (in your mind) than it actually is, or conversely, talking yourself out of believing someone else is interested (when they actually are).

Monetarily, the desire to go out do your best is there, and Mars can provide that energy surge, but there are pitfalls to watch out for as well. It's going to be a little easier to spend frivolously and you won't get good return on any impulse buys. There's also the double whammy of disillusion (Sun-Neptune and Mercury) affecting your ability to judge value. You can buy things this weekend thinking they're the best things on Earth, only to realize a couple weeks down the line that they are complete pieces of junk. Make sure you really research any important purchases, and above all else with everything you experience this weekend, search for the facts. Facts are your ultimate ally in combating the obstacles this energy presents. Best of luck.

The Daily Horoscope for Leo

There are usually two modes to this energy, ultimate tightwad and derelict shopper. It's up to you to choose which suits you best. Once you get to spending money, you can usually cast off any ideas of frugality for the short-term, which can run your wallet dry pretty quickly. If you can show some restraint from spending, you might have a generalized longing for particular items, but the things you desire probably could be done without. Don't confuse want with need.

...Show some Love...

Daily Tao

To know that you do not know is highest
To not know but think you know is flawed

Only when one recognizes the fault as a fault
can one be without fault

The sages are without fault
Because they recognize the fault as a fault
That is why they are without fault
