Sun

Give loved ones space to fly and pursue your own dreams, dearest Leo. As the Aries Moon aligns with Saturn and Pluto, it's important to establish separate but mutually supportive relationships. Focus on sharpening your expertise through the pursuit of higher learning, and be mindful to cultivate a harmonious work/life balance. If you see an opportunity to help someone in need, do so. Karma will be watching, rewarding those with a benevolent spirit. Your thoughts will be deep and enlightening while Luna squares Jupiter. Go within and honestly examine all aspects of your situation to understand better and elevate your position.
