Leo Monthly Horoscope

Sorting Out Your Finances

I hope you got it in writing and read the fine print, Leo, because what happened from around Sunday the 21st until Friday the 26th of August 2022 will be replayed from Saturday September 24th until Monday October 10th. This may be your shares, business interests, house, apartment, charity or valuables. Mercury Retrograde is with you.

If you also have factors in Taurus and/or Scorpio in your natal chart, then what is happening publicly (stalled negotiations or a reversed agreement) is also affecting you privately.

The Full Moon in Pisces opposite the Sun in Virgo on Saturday the 10th of September is a full stop. Pause for thought then and do your sums again. What happens then (allow 24 hours either side) will help you make or save a great deal of money, when Jupiter re-enters Pisces from Saturday October 29th until Tuesday December 20th.

However, you need to think very long-term about the money, house, valuables, business, apartment, charity; look at the paperwork in terms of March 8th, 2023, until May 25th, 2025, and again from September 2nd, 2025, until February 14th, 2026.

Why? Because Saturn with all his waiting games and obstacles will be in Pisces during that time. Virgo rules your income and life budget. Pisces rules other people’s stake in your life. So, classically, a boyfriend, his ex-wife and his children (and his rental with you). Or your parents.

This may seem awfully far away, but that Full Moon in Pisces on Saturday 10th September may involve long-term commitments so be aware. I am hoping you read my Mercury Retrograde dates which I posted two years ago. Or at the least, your weekly stars. I always flag Mercury ‘backwards and stuck’ as far in advance as possible.

As I am sure you know, retrograde is basically the ‘re’ prefix so for you, Leo, you may find share prices are rescheduled, or the bank wants to renegotiate interest rates, or there is a product recall on a purchase you made, or you have to ‘go back on your word’ (a classic Mercury Retrograde phrase).

As I said, you save or make money from October 29th, 2022, but you also have to be wise about your affairs long-term and do a bit of fancy footwork this month. Ceres at 24 Leo (your own sign), the Sun at 24 Virgo and Neptune at 24 Pisces all line up together on Saturday 17th September. This is a fog warning. Visibility is low. You may prefer to steer clear of Friday, Saturday, Sunday for important decisions about your income, tax return, house, apartment, charity, valuables and so on. Distortion alert.

The Internet, Local Travel, Siblings

In all these areas – the web, local trips and your brothers and sisters – you find rescheduling and renegotiating this month. Mercury Retrograde in Libra is with you from Saturday, August 27th until Friday, September 23rd, then Tuesday the 11th until Monday the 17th of October 2022.

We know siblings, the worldwide web and short trips are important, because of the Libra weather. It’s rather late in September but it is all tied up with the rethinking, above, which you classically get when Mercury stalls. What you think is a new beginning near Sunday 25th September is not. It’s a false start or false dawn.

With the Sun (your ruler) and Venus in Libra in your solar Third House, there is no doubt at all that you’re going to be pinning a lot on getting around your county, state, territory (or even closer to home). A brother or sister will be central. So will some aspect of the web, be it an e-book or Twitter.

Yet, you have to bend to Mercury and treat life as a rehearsal. There’s that ‘re’ prefix again. Have Plan B and C for everything. October will rewind the original plan or story and by then you or others may change what was originally under discussion.

Do you have natal factors in Gemini? That’s important because Mars Retrograde in Gemini is also with you, from September 4th 2022until March 17th, 2023. For that reason, try to really focus on getting as much as possible organised and over and done with, before Mercury goes into the retrograde phase too, in the same chart zone (the Third House of siblings, short journeys and digital media). So, from Saturday the 27th of August 2022.

This is why it’s useful to read the Mercury Retrograde dates a year or two in advance, or just to track them in your weekly stars. If you do have Gemini factors, then allow for backwards traction and plan around that.
