Leo

Happy Birthday Leo! Leo is feeling like they want to go away and be quiet and undisturbed for a while. That is because Venus and Jupiter are both on vacation sitting in the hidden twelfth house. You are turning within and want to connect with your Guides. Venus here can have us wanting to engage in behavior that is not the best for us. Venus wants luxury and the best of everything. When it goes into the twelfth we indulge ourselves with desserts when we are on a diet. Or we can decide that one beer won't hurt just after you joined AA. We can self-sabotage when planets are here so be aware of your behavior. Venus in this area is a bit cloudy and so we can miss red flags in terms of relationships and all partnerships. But our creative and artistic abilities are super-charged and so a good time to go to the theater or visit a museum. Our intuitive abilities are also super-charged and so we get more interested in developing our psychic side. On the 26th of August, Venus leaves this house and moves into the sign of Leo and your first house of self.

Remember that Mercury is still retrograde and will stay that way until the 11th of the month. So the first couple of days is not the best time to make major decisions. Wait until the second half of the month and you will do much better.

As Uranus has just entered Gemini for the first time in 84 years. For sweet Leo this planet is going to light up the eleventh house. This area of the chart is all about friendships and group activity. New ideas come up and you are ready to change your thinking and be very progressive and forward thinking. This planet is going to connect well with Pluto in Aquarius. Both are air signs and this can bring up new partnerships and romantic relationships. There is also a Full Moon on the 9th in this same area. You may be looking at old relationships in new ways. You may also see some changes in your social and artistic life. And don't forget that Mars moves into Libra on the 7th and will bring about some strong communication tones for you.
