Leo Weekly Horoscope

Home is where the heat will be starting on Monday, December 4, as beautifying Venus sashays into Scorpio and gets comfortable at Chateau Leo and your domestic fourth house until December 29. This annual transit turns your attention toward matters involving your actual residence as well as your inner circle. Diplomatic Venus can ease strained relationships, and its aesthetic side might spark some serious zhushing! If you’ve got the budget (and bandwidth), you’ll enjoy sprucing up your lair now, in time for the holidays. In focused Scorpio, the celestial interior designer can inspire significant changes that won’t send you into debt. But do think and plan before you impulsively grab a paint roller or start tossing out any furniture. Search out room ideas on sites like Pinterest as well as design and shelter blogs. An upgrade can make you feel like you’re in a whole new environment. If your own stylistic instincts are MIA, work with a consultant (or a friend who shares your taste) to get clear about the look and especially the vibe you want to create. Since family is part of the fourth-house equation, be sure to build in plenty of time for soulful bonding with your nearest and dearest, especially the important women in your life. New and solid couples will enjoy playing house and nesting more than ever. As the new year looms, it’s a good time to discuss not only your mutual plans for the future but how your decorating tastes mesh. Get those “non-negotiables” out in the open and off the table! Need a clear answer? Don’t be afraid to dial up the intensity on Tuesday, when no-nonsense Saturn forms a harmonious trine to sensual Venus AND there’s a balancing quarter moon in Virgo. Just be clear about where your boundaries lie and you’ll have a fruitful conversation.

More cosmic good news comes on Wednesday, and this will bode well for your romantic life! Befuddling Neptune, which has been retrograde in your eighth house of eroticism and intimacy since June 30, finally corrects course, restoring clarity and sharpening your inner vision. This hazy period may have felt never-ending, and some Leos could have gotten suckered by some less than savory characters. You might have learned some (emotionally) expensive lessons about letting “unknown quantities” into your confidence. Hopefully you’re the wiser for those experiences now, and with Neptune moving forward, your sharp intuition is scheduled for an immediate return. Before you leap into anything new, make sure you’ve got a plan to prevent what happened from ever recurring. No shaming or guilt-tripping. Just absorb the teaching and commit to getting it right the next time.
