Leo Weekly Horoscope

Sensitivity alert! You could bristle at the slightest infraction this Wednesday, November 4, as your ruler, the Sun, aligns with retrograde Mercury in your domestic fourth house. Not only will your emotions be raw, but your “translation tools” could be buggy, causing you to misinterpret everything from passing words to body language. Even if someone IS shading you, restrict your reaction! With Mercury’s communication-skewering influence, eye rolls and mutters won’t go unnoticed. If you feel attacked, don’t hit back with a fierce takedown that’s a little too true. Your defensive posture could damage a relationship, and worse, the person might accuse YOU of initiating the war. Do your best to stay out of controversial conversations and turn up the self-care. If the stress is coming from within your abode—a partner, roommate or relative—carving out space is even more necessary. We realize that it’s hibernation season, but try to get out a little more often, Leo, and not just with your go-to “pride” of BFFs. Expanding your social sphere this week could bring intimate relationships back into balance.

With jubilant Jupiter touring your sign until next summer, collaborators keep lining up to work with you, Leo. Midweek, your VIP houseguest sends a friendly sextile to diplomatic Venus, who is retrograding through your third house of communication and contracts. Before you sign on to any new alliance, pull out that trusty tool of great decision makers, the pros-and-cons list, and weigh what this partnership adds to your world against how it could complicate things. Backpedaling Venus can make a so-so deal sound dreamy, and the confidence boost from your royal guest may tempt you to skim the fine print. Mercury retrograde raises the stakes, since details and deadlines are prone to slip through the cracks. If you’re renegotiating terms with a partner, keep the conversation grounded and have a lawyer or a level-headed friend read the agreement before you commit.
