The world is your oyster right now. This is a moment of prosperity for you, as you enjoy monetary gains and the company of friends. Be careful not to neglect issues at home though, as relationships may require your attention. Today you feel both hesitant to speak for fear of causing offensive and yet drawn to communication with loved ones. When visiting and connecting, choose your words carefully. Watch your thoughts for they become words. Watch your words, for they become actions. Watch your actions, for they become habits. Watch your habits, for they become character. Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny.

Don't assume that everyone with a different opinion is your adversary, Leo. Such absolute beliefs tend to create barriers, not connections. With the Sun, your ruler, aligned with healing comet Chiron in your ninth house of inclusivity and ideologies this Saturday, you have an opportunity to connect with someone from a vastly different background or who holds divergent beliefs. Make an effort to listen actively and empathetically. You might not change anyone's perspective, but you could gain valuable insights from the exchange. Late Saturday could bring an end to a difficult bout of control issues and head trips, especially in your personal life. With the full moon in cooperative Libra, a compromise will start to materialize. Moreover, you’ll be in the mood for peace as Venus wraps up a six-week retrograde. This caustic U-turn brought out a domineering or jealous streak in some Leos, along with a possible "sex with an ex" reunion between the sheets. You may have run your relationships with an iron fist, keeping a watchful eye on your mate or a close person in your life. If old trust issues surfaced, hopefully you used the planetary backspin to work those through. Now that Venus resumes direct motion, you can repair any rifts in your bonds or move forward with more reliable candidates.
