Is it time to polish up your presentation? Today, taskmaster Saturn goes retrograde (backward) in your communication house until June 25. You might need to refine your written or spoken delivery during this time. Consider taking a public speaking class, getting media training, or learning some new skills. Are you an expert in your field? Use this time to develop a workshop. Thinking of opening a business? Work behind the scenes on your branding, marketing, and strategy before you launch.

Step out and shine! Today’s Leo full moon is a big day for you, and it could bring together everything you’ve worked on since your last birthday. This is a peak moment of 2012, and also a lunar nudge to put yourself on center stage. The squeaky wheel gets the oil! Go ahead and use a little chutzpah—don’t wait until they come to you. You’re awesome, Leo, and it’s about time more people knew it.

Looking for love? The playing field just got a whole lot wider. Love-planet Venus spends the next month in Aries, your expansive and global ninth house. Your next sexy suitor could have an accent and a foreign passport (oh la la!), so keep an open mind. Already happily coupled? Venus helps you plan a romantic vacation, even if it’s just a weekend getaway. You’re hungry for adventure, especially if you can share it with the one you love.

Weekend getaway? Road trip? Today, you might get a last-minute invitation to leave town, and you might just decide to take it. Or, you could even initiate it. If there’s fresh powder on the slopes, go skiing. Even if you jump in the car (or on a train) and head to a nearby town for a day trip, you’ll return with a fresh perspective. At the very least, turn this weekend into a “staycation” and make like you’re on a trip—starting now!

Your thoughts can manifest into reality quickly today, and they can even make you feel sick! If there’s some part of you that’s aching, or you’re feeling unwell, consider that it could be linked to a pattern of negative, self-critical, or self-defeating thoughts. Change that tape, Leo! Do a little self-esteem tune-up and get yourself back into the positive zone. Yoga, Pilates, or any exercise that gets you in touch with your core would be helpful, too.

Spend the day catching up with friends or correspondences. You might have some personal email that’s piled up (who doesn’t these days?) or a faraway friend to whom you owe a Skype call. How about all those books piling up on your nightstand? Head out to a fun café or cozy up by the fire and make a dent in that new bestseller. This evening is great for spending time with family, whether over a Sunday dinner or a nice phone chat.
