A recent loss may be a source of grief right now. Avoid vices or risky behaviors as they will only lead to humiliation or ill health. Take pleasure in social interactions with friends who will find you warm and engaging. Good fortune is waiting for you in coming days. Shed your inhibitions and reach out to the world. Mingling with others and freeing yourself are the keys to success. Grab opportunities as they arise or you will regret it. Accept difference in perspective and allow understanding to guide your communication with others.

The line between friend and “I probably shouldn’t be doing this” may get blurred today, Leo, so think before you explore any percolating passion with someone in the platonic category That might be easier said than done, however. A steamy sync-up of reactive Mercury and seductive Pluto in your friendship zones could melt your willpower. (It’s the old “You can resist anything but temptation.”) Do what you must, but spend at least half a minute considering the potential consequences. Nothing’s more awkward than backpedaling from intimate to casual.
