Hey Moon-Doggies...
Sorry, gotta slip in a little "astro-babble" to help 'Splain this current energy.
The roughest aspect in astrology is called a "square"... It basically means that 2 planets are 90 degrees apart from each other... It is an energy of conflict... When you have 2 planets that are opposite each other, and both of them are "square" to a third planet, that is called a "T-Square" and that can be very hard energy to deal with too... But something wild happen when you have 4 planets all squared to each other, that forms a configuration called "A Grand Cross".

When you see the image below, you'll see how the energy flows around the chart... What is really wild is that instead of it being "negative" energy, the fact that it connects each of the 4 houses of the same element turns it into a very positive force... In this chart, it is connecting all the "Fixed" houses... (Taurus,Leo, Scorpio & Aquarius)... These are the signs that like everything to be very predictable and standardized... Doing the same things, the same ways so they get the same results... It sounds a bit like being stuck in ruts and routines, but it actually is very effective.

Anyway... Grand Crosses are what the universe uses to mix things up... To create the conditions for positive change, by taking us out of our usual comfort-zones... I am sure you can look back at past situations that might have seemed like a pain in the ass at first, but then somehow turned into some great benefit by inspiring us to adapt to new and better ways of doing things... Or where what seemed to be a problem suddenly became a fantastic opportunity.

So that is what we are dealing with this week... Because Venus and Mars are involved in this pattern, they are both fast moving planets so this energy will roll in... Do what it needs to do to help us get back on track... And then roll right out again... And a new cycle begins... hehe...

That's it for now... I'll talk to you guys later...

Keep the Faith... Better Days and Higher Love are comin' soon...

The weekly horoscope for Leo is showing the need to be more in control of your own fate and destiny as the Grand Cross is located in your Cardinal solar houses... This energy is the kind that holds you accountable for your own progress as well as the choices and decisions you make... This is about being humble when you realize you do not "know it all" but also be to decisive when there are choices and decisions to be made... This energy is very results oriented and geared for success!!

...Show some Love...
