Romance interrupted? Not necessarily, Leo! But starting this Monday, May 1, you may want to give an important relationship a serious review. For the next five months, intensifying Pluto will be retrograde, spending the first six weeks of this cycle back-spinning through Aquarius and your seventh house of partnerships. Pluto brokers in mystery, power plays and strong emotions, so this may not be a walk in the park. But if it’s clarity and commitment you’re seeking, then this is a necessary (and probably inevitable) process. If some of your closest ties do hit a rough patch, the one thing you don’t want to do is ignore it or pretend it isn’t happening. At the very least, hashing out the sticking points can help you discover where you (both) stand and mutually work to rebuild things on a more solid foundation. Conflicts are a normal part of life for everyone, Leo. When jealousy, anger or resentment comes up for you, the healthiest and most productive thing you can do is to face it straight on and try to find its roots. Sometimes you can do this on your own, but it’s generally more effective when done under the guidance of a good therapist.
Since retrogrades rule the past, an old flame could reignite (or threaten to). Between now and June 11, this could affect your romantic life. But from June 11 to January 20, Pluto will be unearthing old feelings and hurts related to your work, organizational style or health. Should you find yourself obsessing over an ex, break the vicious cycle by taking SOME action: either resolving to walk away or give it a real shot. Whatever you decide, you’ll gain the most insight by questioning WHY this person has you in their thrall. Is it really them—or what they represent to you? This is a worthy exploration during Pluto’s extended retrograde!
Friday’s lunar (full moon) eclipse in Scorpio could be the kind of game-changer you’ve been hoping for—whether consciously or not. Falling in your domestic fourth house, this lunation could inspire you to undertake some big changes. Since lunar eclipses mark completions, you may be closer than you realize to finding a perfect new pad or roommate. (Or a long-awaited key exchange with bae perhaps?) If you actually love your lair, it won’t take much (if anything) to zhush it to your heart’s content, and when it’s ready, host a soiree or a potluck for your nearest and dearest. This lunar light could make a certain connection more official or bring a renewed connection with a long-lost friend or family member. Whatever it takes to put the “sweet” back into home is supported now!

Bring on the rosy-hued fantasy vibes! On Sunday, quixotic Venus joins fellow lovebird Mars in Cancer and your twelfth house of dreams, mystical experiences and the imagination until June 5. Their tryst is short but sweet because motivational Mars will blast into your sign on May 20, turning the spotlight squarely on you and your passion projects. Till then, allow yourself to get lost in your inner world and tap into your intuition and creativity. During this sensitized phase, some Leos may be downright psychic. But keep your wits about you: It’s the same energy behind clairvoyance AND confusion and deception. So be quietly observant and seek out reliable feedback for your impressions. The last thing you want to do is alarm someone because you inadvertently projected your fears or doubts onto them!
