Leo Daily Forecast

Mercury's backtrack until the 29th might test your patience with emotional freeloaders. Be kind, not a doormat. You can care deeply without fixing everything for everyone. If you're feeling drained, pull back and refill your tank. Balance empathy with self-respect. Home matters may resurface, so speak calmly and focus on solutions. Protect your peace and remember: saying no is an act of love, too.

While as Mercury leaves a playful and creative part of your chart today, you might be one planet down, but this will do nothing to take the focus off the playful, creative and adventurous side of life's fence and instead, it is likely to intensify. Ahead of the Moon's return tomorrow and the Sun's return two days later, with Mercury gone, the brakes are off and the focus is off the past, allowing Mars to not only fuel your romantic and creative passions and fighting spirit, but start moving things forward. Meanwhile, Mercury is back to join the Sun and Moon during what is already a pivotal time for home, family and/or property matters.

After three weeks in your romantic sector, he retrogrades back out today, with the promise that he will return while leaving the spirit of romance in the safe hand of Mars, who will continue to keep the romantic flame burning until well into next month. Because Mercury has been in retrograde motion and this has put a lot of focus on the past, this gives you time to adjust to looking ahead before the Moon joins Mars tomorrow really fire things up.

Life is likely to be problematic if you’ve unrealistically high expectations. Inevitable arguments follow if you're expecting more than others are prepared to give. Try to keep your conduct in check and don’t put undue pressure on your partner or friendships by making inappropriate or impossible demands.

It is in the heart of the working week that Mercury not only retrogrades back to join the Sun and Venus in your home and family sector but will run straight into opposition with Uranus in your career sector. As the first planet to clash since Uranus returned 11 days ago, Mercury will make it easier to take a smart and practical approach to any work/life balance tension this might create and before things take a busier turn next month, start putting some guardrails in place.

At the same time that the Sun is separating from a friendly aspect to Saturn in your financial sector that peaked yesterday, other forces are getting in behind this. Over the next few days, the Sun and Moon will both form a friendly aspect to Neptune, the planet of hopes and dreams in your financial sector and Mercury will do the same while connecting with Saturn. Even Venus, the planet of money's friendly aspect to the North Node in your financial sector is contributing to a growing sense of financial confidence and resolve.

If you’re out of shape physically and unreasonable in your expectations, imagining you're able to achieve more fitness than is realistic to expect. Think about gradually improving your stamina more modestly, get a massage and do relaxation exercises. Don't undertake a punishing regime when you're not ready.
