Leo Weekly Horoscope

Dramatic flair or just plain dramatic? Monday's quarter moon brings your theatrical ways under the microscope. Like Leo Jennifer Lawrence, you've been known to give an Oscar-worthy performance. Then there are the times where your emotions get the best of you, causing you to spin out in the diva zone, forgetting that the world does not revolve around you. The quarter moon's message: Check yourself before you wreck yourself, Leo.

Even if you're not staging an epic tantrum, are you stuck in poor-me mode? Your self-pity can be just as draining for the ones who love you, as they are forced to dance around your difficult emotions trying to appease the unplease-able you. Take command of your feelings this week. If you're unhappy with the way relationships are going, give people the benefit of the doubt. They aren't trying to make your life miserable; they might just be clueless. Make plans to talk things through, but come to the conversation with creative solutions in hand. The more proactive you are, the happier everyone shall be.

Romantic reflection is another theme of the week. Love planet Venus links up with the healing comet Chiron, helping you pause and assess the direction of your most intimate relationships. Have you been embroiled in a power struggle with your bedroom buddy, Leo? In your efforts to keep love alive, you may have withheld one of your deeply held needs or values, placing your sweetie on a throne above your own. Alas, pretending to be submissive can have the effect of zapping your joie de vivre. If you notice yourself feeling lethargic or listless, look within. As the expression goes, "you're only as sick as your secrets." This week the love doctor orders you to go into the confessional booth and let the object of your affections know what your deepest, most hidden desires are. Although you may fear that he or she won't want to align with your dreams, you'll never know unless you ask. Best to find out now so you can make an informed choice about your next steps. And in many cases, you'll realize that you were suffering in silence for no good reason at all!

Have you been stuck in the gray zone, wondering if a relationship is the real thing or just a fling? The Venus-Chiron duo sounds the wake-up call. If you're worried about being used and then tossed aside, take command. Don't use your seductive powers as currency, Leo, or you'll draw people to you who only want to rush you into the sack. Rather, let the world see all of you—the sexy, soulful, intelligent creative who really has the total package. Like attracts like!

On the work front, a friendly Pluto-Saturn angle helps you tighten up your ship. Get your hands back on the wheel of S.S. Leo, even if that means dropping anchor and tending to the minutiae before you sail off for the next ambitious goal. The devil truly is in the details this week, so get that paperwork filed, map out a budget and timeline, and do all the necessary project-management work to chart out the course to your desired destination. Helpful women surround you, likely ladies who you've worked with in the past. Pull them on board and make it a sister act! You won't mind sharing the glory with your girls, especially since there will be much more of it to go around when you join forces.
