Daily Horoscope for Leo Summary

The energy shifts a little bit this week, with Mercury going direct. As always, the Mercury retro elements have a tendency to linger until it's back into full speed ahead mode again, and that will be applicable today. You are going to want to stay aware of the recent things you've learned and the perspective it gives you, as you'll have some opportunities to put these to use.

Aside from that, we have a couple other things going on. First is the Sun connecting with Uranus. This is going to kickstart a lot of people's senses of creativity. I'll liken it to my idea for a cheap, automatic sock folder from earlier this retro, which presently looks like a market deficiency. One of you will probably steal this idea now and make a million bucks; when you do, remember ol' Bud (at least send me a free one).

Mars also sits in between Saturn and Pluto, drawing off both of them. This can perpetuate some of the uneasiness that's been going on with any work issues, though that aspect is trying to fade. As Mars moves closer to Pluto through the week though, you're going to see more destructive tendencies arise. Be careful about tearing things down without good reason, and also without a good replacement plan. This also applies to items, so be more careful with your stuff.

Lastly, you have Venus oppo Jupiter, which can create some short term-long term desire conflicts. Are you bailing on better rewards down the line in order to get a cheap thrill now? Are you sticking with bad situations out of dumb principles that don't hold up under scrutiny? Weigh both sides of these types of scenarios before you make decisions.

Overall, there's quite a bit of tension in the chart, but relative to the recent energy, at least it's set up to not hit you all in the same spot at the same time. There will be some challenges, but also some opportunities. This is really one of those "stick with it" kind of charts where going through some adversity creates better situations for you in the future. The main thing is to avoid getting fed up, flipping over your war room table and starting from scratch. Work within the situations you're in for solutions, as they're out there. Best of luck.

The Daily Horoscope for Leo

You can definitely focus more on what other people have, and that's a thing that can drive you to do better than they are. But this also has the potential to get you to deviate from the path of what you want. Are you out there chasing other people's hopes and dreams, or your own? So as you go about the day, be careful about what you're pursuing. Ask yourself if it fits with your plans for the future. Are these things going to make you happier, or are they going to require a lot of effort, all for you to say "you did it" with no real satisfaction?

...Show some Love...

Daily Tao

Coming into life, entering death
The followers of life, three in ten
The followers of death, three in ten
Those whose lives are moved toward death
Also three in ten
Why? Because they live lives of excess

I've heard of those who are good at cultivating life
Traveling on the road, they do not encounter rhinos or tigers
Entering into an army, they are not harmed by weapons
Rhinos have nowhere to thrust their horns
Tigers have nowhere to clasp their claws
Soldiers have nowhere to lodge their blades
Why? Because they have no place for death
