Rise, Shine, and Strategize
Big moves are afoot, Leo! With the Sun now at the top of your chart—your 10th house of career, status, and public image—you’re in prime position to grab the spotlight. Whether you’re seeking recognition, gunning for a promotion, or launching a passion project, your natural confidence and charisma are coming into full view.
The New Moon on Sunday supercharges this zone, giving you a cosmic green light to set bold intentions for your professional or personal ambitions. But there’s a catch—and it’s all about how you play the game.
Mars in Leo: Power Move or Power Struggle?
Mars entered your sign late last week, which amps up your courage, drive, and, well… drama. This is great for taking initiative—but Mars is also in a standoff with Pluto, the master of power dynamics. And both are in tense aspect with the Sun. Translation: you may come on a little strong this week. While your enthusiasm is admirable, if you bulldoze ahead or try to control outcomes too tightly, you might trigger resistance—from bosses, collaborators, or even a partner.
Tact is your superpower. Mars wants action, but Pluto demands depth, subtlety, and leverage. If you’re too forceful, you could spark conflict instead of progress.
Professional Frustrations & Relationship Rumbles
Midweek, Saturn and Venus form a conjunction, and it could highlight areas where you’re feeling undervalued—whether that’s at work or in a personal connection. If someone in authority (or a partner) isn’t recognizing your worth or is resisting your desire for more control, tensions could rise.
The challenge? Navigating this without turning it into a full-blown showdown. Be especially cautious if you’re trying to change dynamics in a relationship; power struggles are possible if one person feels steamrolled or sidelined.
Mercury Offers a Reality Check
The good news: Mercury is in a bright, adventurous part of your chart and links helpfully with Pluto at the start of the week. This helps you pull back, see the bigger picture, and communicate more strategically. Use this insight to balance your ambition with patience and finesse.
Key Advice
- Professional leaps are possible, but only if you’re willing to be savvy, not steamroll.
- Avoid control battles, especially with those who aren’t ready to move at your pace.
- Be mindful of your tone—how you say things matters more than what you say.
- The New Moon offers a powerful reset, so set career goals that excite and ground you.
- Let Mercury help you zoom out and breathe—impulsiveness could cost you more than you think.
