Leo Weekly Horoscope

You’ve got the allure of a snake charmer early this week, so use those powers judiciously. The Pisces moon slinks side by side with Mercury, Mars and Neptune until Wednesday the 13th, making it nigh impossible for people to say no to you. But is getting yes after yes always a good thing? Not necessarily, Leo. If people feel manipulated or smooth-talked into doing your bidding, they’ll only revolt later. Don’t waste time twisting anyone’s arm. Instead, focus your seductive beams on people who already want what you have to offer. In these cases, prepare for some intense—and ultra-sexy—bonding to go down. Your magnetic field will be so charged this week, Leo, and the people you draw in will be stuck to you like iron, nickel and cobalt. Make sure you really want them around for the long term before you turn on the charm.

This planetary power certainly bodes well for your pre–Valentine’s Day preparations. Sneak off for a spa treatment and a traipse through Kiki DeMontparnasse for some lacy, racy underthings. Attracting a sexy date won’t be difficult, either—it’s more a matter of choosing the best candidate! If you’re already spoken for, your mischievous mind will dream up all kinds of naughty thrills for Cupid’s big day. Just don’t lose your sense of humor as your mind spins into Fifty Shades of Grey mode.

On Thursday the 14th, the moon will move on to Aries and your jovial ninth house, lightening the mood considerably. Before you perform your planned striptease, you might be racing your date around the indoor Go-Kart track or singing a bawdy pop song at couples’ karaoke. Bonus: You’ll have romantic Venus in Aquarius and your relationship house all week too. The moon-Venus angle on V-Day lends itself well to honest and inspiring conversations about how your lives will sync up in the future. Let it all hang out, Leo! Your dreamy authenticity is a turn-on this Valentine’s Day.

Did Cupid’s arrows miss you early this week? Don’t spend Thursday holed up at home. The adventurous Aries moon wants you to dress up and have some fun! Check listings: Is there a cheeky Anti-Valentine’s Day party happening near you, or another cleverly masked event meant to bring singles together on this high-pressure Hallmark holiday? Just go, Leo, even if it all seems so silly. Gambler’s luck is on your side this Thursday. Expand your scope: A cross-cultural connection could lead to a steamy kiss, and who knows what else. If you’re tired of what the local scene is serving up, celebrate in another city and peruse the fresh offerings. Meow!

This weekend, a Mars-Saturn trine brings some energy and stability to your finances. Explore ways to “make money in your sleep,” such as a network marketing business, selling products as an affiliate or working a commissions-based job. Real estate could crop up as a potential revenue generator too. If you’ve ever had the yen to learn about buying foreclosed properties or creating rental income for yourself, dive into a book or a seminar that can teach you the ropes and help you assess the viability of the idea.
