Before the reward, there must be labor. You plant before you harvest. You sow in tears before you reap joy. Your leadership skills are appreciated at work. Your ability to make effective decisions and follow through has been noticed by those at the top. Suddenly many things in life seemed drastically altered. Be pragmatic in your viewpoint. Change can mean loss but also the chance for fresh opportunities. Resolve disputes and repair relationships. You are at a fork in the road. A myriad of possibilities are before you. Victory is actually how high you bounce when you hit the bottom.

Tame your people-pleasing instincts today. As the Leo moon in your self-authorized first house clashes with retrograde Venus, you could be too quick to concede simply because you want to keep the peace. But preserve some fight in you, Leo. On days like this, nice guys will finish last. You don't have to unleash a ferocious roar, but don't let anyone mistake you for a timid little kitten either.
