If you are feeling beset by enemies and competition, it might be wise to take a break. You have been working hard. Now is an ideal moment for rest and introspection. The loneliness you may be feeling at present is only temporary. Address worries and health concerns now and you will find lighter days ahead. The usual focal points of your life leave you cold. New values and concerns are imminent, perhaps gained through travel, a mentor or a distant relative. Overcome world-weariness as you have responsibilities to face.

Change is in the air as Neptune turns retrograde in your global ninth house until December 12. Suddenly “home sweet home” could feel more restrictive than safe and secure. One way or another, you’ll want to spread your wings and check out some wider horizons. Some Leos may do that literally—perhaps sailing up the coast or relocating to a new city—while others will prefer a more figurative approach, like signing up for a jewelry-making class or a lecture series. You’ll have plenty of opportunities to do a host of things, as this transit is in effect for the next five months.
