You are being asked to venture into the unknown at this time in your life, dear Leo. It will be difficult, but rewarding; it will make you proud of yourself, it may also make you feel sad.

Your current journey is about love. It is ultimately to protect your future with your most important partner.

With love planet Venus in your seventh house of soul mates, you can't help but be thinking about this as March ends.

Anything that is off kilter between you and another should be healed now.

Remember, Leo is ruled by the HEART. When you give, man, you give big!

For you single Leos this is the best time to find your true love. For you coupled Leos, you are choosing to give a lot right now - and a fair amount of sacrifice seems to be involved.

Think on this great bit of wisdom from Jorges Luis Borges, "Love is only the beginning of a terror we can barely endure."

But Leos are braver than most. And without the heart, you really are not going to be happy. So - give it your best shot, dear Lion. Just keep your eyes open and don't let anyone blow smoke up your - well, you know what I mean.

Just remember smoke and mirror planet Neptune is canoodling with love planet Venus in your seventh love house. Now is not the time to be seduced by an alien, nor to be captured by a cult.

This applies to business as well: look beyond the appearance. Trust your survival instincts. Keep talking with your friends - even if you get into arguments with them. (Mars in your eighth house has a yen for making this happen.) They're worth their weight in gold.

In your career and place in the world, expect some things to start happening after Sunday, April 3. I see this changing your life quite a bit, actually.

If there's a question you need answered: my answer would be to hang onto your home for all you've got. 

For the rest of you is going outwards, expanding your horizons outside the home. In your ninth house of expanded horizons you have a most awesome line up of planetary bodies! 

In here you have: your ruler the almighty, life-giving Sun; lotto lucky Jupiter: brilliant Mercury; revolutionary Uranus; sexy Mars as of Saturday, April 2; an exciting new Moon on Sunday, April 3; and lovely Venus as of Thursday, April 21.  

Your mind as well as your horizons expand as you embrace the new and the different. Exotic travel beckons. You are educated in a totally revolutionary way.  

The only slight warning this month is Mercury retrograde, which occurs also in your ninth house from Wednesday, March 30 to Saturday, April 23.  You will still have the blessings of your ninth house; they may just come a bit slower, as in travel delays, during this time.

Because Mercury is also going retrograde in your ninth house of travel and education, there will be some opportunities for change here this April.

And a ceasing of the difficult changes and challenging transformations in your domestic everyday life.

You can play much more as a result, and this is perfect because Mercury retrograde is upon us!

Yes, 'tis the season of Mercury retrograde again - and remember, everyone goes through this - everyone on the planet - so be kind and compassionate to everyone out there.

It is a time to take a break, go zen, play a little. Because, for everyone, no matter how hard you try, business is not as usual.

The hardest thing is to have patience. But with patience, come the rewards!

For everyone - and you will be affected less than most - Mercury rules cell phones, as well as land lines, computers, cars, planes - and all thought and movement, including all forms of travel. He likes to go fast - he is the winged messenger who flies.

But he's going to be retrograding the first three weeks of April.

If you are traveling during this time - even in your car - just relax.

You will be noticing how travel is delayed, phones aren't working properly, and everyone keeps changing times on you.

The official day Mercury goes retrograde is Wednesday, March 30. This lasts - for everyone in the world - until Saturday, April 23.

You need to be aware that you could lose or misplace things - such as your wallet, your phone - cars break down - appointments are forgotten or broken - and the ordered universe generally goes awry.

The good news? It only lasts three weeks!

Mercury particularly affects electronics and any form of travel. Back up your computer files. Mercury rules all forms of communications, including, from the 1940's, computers. Computers go wonky during Mercury retrograde, as do phones, and anything that has to do with communication.

The work you can do?   

RE-trograde means to go backwards. The past becomes very powerful. You can re-examine it. Old people pop up in your life.

A great deal of healing is possible at this time. Mercury, after all, also rules healing.  

Retrograde rules all the RE-words.

See, Leo, which of these REsonate with YOU:

Reduce, recycle, remix, repurpose, recreate, repair, refresh, reinvigorate, refine, redo, reinvent, recommit, refocus, revive, reconnect, reuse, reform, rejoice, re-evaluate, relive, rethink, renew, reorder, regnerate, respect, reactivate, rearrange, reclaim, revisit, relate

Reciprocate

Receive

Reconstruct, revise, re-engage, rewind

Release, recruit, rewrite, respond, reflect, review, relieve, rebound, remember, reward, reface, reassign, reinforce, rework, revere, refuel, regain

Regard, reinterpret, reconsider, re-educate, repeat.

And, finally, RE-lax. It's really the best thing you can do during a Mercury retrograde. Not to get, as the English say, your knickers in a twist, if things don't go according to plan. That's life!

Your secret charm this April? Act like an Aquarius. (No, I'm not kidding! I KNOW it's not your favorite sign.) Stay open and flexible. Think with your head.

Even with beauty and love planet making you look more gorgeous than ever and attracting admirers your way: let their heads spin, not yours.

As April gets fully underway, you become so much happier about your main relationships. And, what's more, even with business partnerships, you enjoy them!
