Leo Season, PR Freeze: Everyone’s Sparkly, the System Still Goes Down

Saturn is in Aries, which is a lot like the boss wanting to pair program with you for the week. Expect questions, orders phrased as suggestions, and impromptu team "quick sync" meetings. Mars in Gemini still gives you enough momentum to open a PR when the boss is distracted and then merge it in before he notices.

Your ruling planet, Venus, is in Virgo, which means it's a good time to tackle both money and relationship issues. File expenses, submit end of month billings, ask for promotions or pay increases, and chat up friends and allies. Jupiter and the Sun are in Leo, so be realistic that asking is not getting and improved odds are not certainties.

Mars is in your sign and empowers you to overcome obstacles and meet deadlines. Unfortunately, Uranus is in your sign too, trying to distract you from your goals.

Mercury is in your house, making you unusually communicative. Saturn, Neptune, and the Moon are working hard to mess that up. Be extra careful in what you say and how you say it, write as if you expect to be misunderstood.

With the Sun and Jupiter both in your sign, you've got the two biggest bruisers backing you up. Just don't overdo it, Pluto in Aquarius makes it easy to bruise some egos, and it's easy to turn looking good into looking like you need more work.

Venus is visiting Virgo, bringing with it an opportunity to make progress on money and relationships. But Mars in Gemini means conflicts and deadlines won't disappear on their own. Your planet, Mercury, isn't doing a lot to help you out this week, but that's better than working against you.

Saturn and Neptune are playing tricks on your manager. The manager is going to tell you everything is clear, only for you to discover, later, that it's clear the manager had no idea what they were talking about. Mercury tries to help you help yourself, so be prepared to over-communicate to clean up the mess. Jupiter and the Sun can put in a good word for you, but it's not obvious who's listening.

Your ruling planet, Pluto, is making you grind through the messy stuff, the buried stuff, and the stuff everyone swore was “basically fine” last quarter. Jupiter in Leo only makes things harder. Mercury at least will make it easier for you to explain yourself.

Mars sits opposite you, making it feel like everyone is picking on you this week. Saturn can help you out if you play all the bureaucratic cards you have around defined limits and a well-disciplined process. Your ruler, Jupiter, is delivering extra luck this week, so a few calculated risks will pay off.

This is not your week. Saturn is making you work for it, while Mercury is misdelivering your missives this week. Venus is trying to help with money and relationships, but it is the end of the month so there's only so far that goes. Take a positive bank account balance and no major disasters as a clear win.

Pluto's moved in with you, so you're feeling a surge of power. But Jupiter's making it easy for you to go too far: be careful. Mars is making deadlines a bit easier to hit, so the focus won't be on your work for a change. Your ruling planet, Uranus, is in Gemini, so that tamps down unpleasant surprises like a surprise emergency hotfix request.

Venus plopping down across from you is going to bring friction into your relationships and make every choice a no-win situation. Mercury tries to help by making communications clear, but if what's clear is that they're mad at you that's not really a help.
