Leo Weekly Horoscope

Flutter on out of that cocoon, social butterfly. This Wednesday, January 30, happy-go-lucky Jupiter turns direct in Gemini and your eleventh house of community after the lull of a four-month retrograde. Hello, Popular! It’s time to get back out on the scene, rejuvenating friendships that fell by the wayside this fall. Your social network is set to expand while Jupiter holds this prominent position until June 25. Mix, mingle and meet exciting people both near and far. Jupiter is the zodiac’s traveler, and you could be rubbing shoulders with overseas friends and long-distance collaborators before you know it.

Alas, you won’t have much time for one-on-one hangouts in the coming five months. There will be far too many people who want a piece of your time, and your entourage will have to understand when you make it a group thing. Of course, there will be a few select souls who require your undivided attention. Draw a tight radius around your inner circle. You can’t be BFFs with the world, but your top five should know without question that they are special to you, Leo.

The eleventh house rules technology, and with entrepreneurial Jupiter in this part of your chart, you could make a fortune on the e-commerce landscape or by developing an app. You might even explore a network marketing business. As long as you believe wholly in the product you’re hawking, you won’t feel sales-y, but rather like you’re offering people something that you know they will enjoy. If you’ve dreamed of starting a blog or filming a documentary, the days between now and June 25 could be a stellar time to get that in motion.

On Friday, February 1, make like Leo Madonna and open your heart. Love planet Venus cruises into Aquarius and your seventh house of partnerships until February 25. Valentine’s Day begins early for you, Leo, and you might just snag a keeper before the weekend is through. If you’ve been looking for love in all the wrong places, how about searching in the friend zone? With Venus in affable Aquarius, a platonic pal could go from “buddylicious” to “bootylicious” in 0.2 seconds. (Who knew?!) Or, ask friends to play Cupid and go on some semi-blind dates. Coupled Leos should bring more playtime activities into your bond. Kick off the fleece slippers and go on a fun dancing date. You might even join a gym and take a class together regularly: Crossfit, MMA, or kickboxing, anyone?

Red-hot Mars could bring more sexytime your way too. On Friday, the red-hot planet grooves into your erotic eighth house until March 11, ramping up your mojo. You may find yourself fantasizing about an old flame or wondering what ever happened to you-know-who. If it was only a matter of bad timing that kept you apart, it wouldn’t hurt to poke around and see if the sparks are still there. But if irreconcilable (or toxic!) differences kept you apart in the first place, don’t re-open that door. Mars’ brash and daring energy could prompt you to play with fire over the next six weeks…and in the sign of Pisces you could even go into denial about someone’s true character. You know better than that, Leo, so think with your head, not your naughty bits!

Since you do need an outlet to feel like a minx, get thee to a dance class, perform live onstage, make art, express yourself through fashion. Your creativity and your sexuality flow from the same chakra, after all, so on those days when no one’s around for a romp, get down and dirty with your own imagination.
