Leo Weekly Forecast

In between Mars' departure from Leo last week and Mercury's return on Friday, there is a 10 day period where you have a chance to cool your heels and even recharge your batteries. Normally moving through Leo in just six weeks, by the time the warrior planet of the cosmos left last week, he had spent five of the last seven months firing up your passions, drive, warrior and competitive spirit. Mars is still doing what Mars does, but in his first full week in your income sector is now channelling this into his war on glass ceilings, roadblocks and barriers, whether real or imagined as he gives you the drive to fight for what you deserve just as Venus, the planet of money is spending her last full week in your career sector. While this could be a busy week professionally and a good week on the income and job fronts with Mars gone, on the personal front and as you move into the first full week of the month long wind down your old solar year, there is a chance to recharge your batteries.

While it was in the New Year and again when he returned to Leo in April that Mars clashed with Pluto in your relationship sector, in the first full year of a 20 year visit, having the warrior planet of the cosmos in your sign has helped to police a balance between your own and your relationship needs. What might have brought any issues to a head just before Mars left Leo last Tuesday was that the Moon was in your relationship sector at the time and they clashed. With no planetary activity in Leo, the pressure is off your relationships or at least the pressure to maintain the right balance between your own and your relationship needs. The week even gets off to a positive start, thanks to the Moon's friendly aspect to Pluto on Monday. It is later in the week that the pressure might come back on, when the Moon and Mercury both return to Leo on Friday. The Moon will clash with Pluto within hours of returning, but Mercury not until Sunday. Once again, a balance between your own and your relationship needs is in the spotlight but this time, with the planet of communication and not the warrior planet of the cosmos in Leo.
