Leo Weekly Horoscope | February 26 – March 3, 2024
The forecast is dreary as the Sun, Mercury, and Saturn form a triple conjunction in Pisces on February 28th. There’s nothing subtle about triple conjunctions; they’re all bold caps with exclamation points, and this one will hit you in a vulnerable spot regarding an emotional or financial cost. There are times when we get dealt one bad card after the next, and this is one of them. Thankfully it’s always darkest before the sextile as you’ll see on March 1st when a shift in planetary energies brings a break in the cloud cover. This puts you in touch with people who can help you out.

The Mars/Jupiter square on February 27 shows a rival at work trying to horn in on your turf. They’ll try to disguise it in “corporate speak,” but it’s clearly a hostile takeover. Your first reaction may be to holler “get off my lawn (or the workplace equivalent) but that would be as effective as a teenager scribbling “No Adults Allowed” on a piece of paper and taping it to their bedroom door. Meet your opponent’s passive-aggressiveness with some passive-aggressiveness of your own. You can speak the jargon just as well as they can – probably even better. Do this, and they’ll move on to easier prey.

You often wonder if the bus you’re on is taking you to where you want to go. Is it making all these stops and turns because it’s a local and not an express, or is it really headed in the wrong direction? The impulse to find another ride will become heightened on March 3rd when Venus squares Uranus. This is when you’ll feel like you’ve given a situation all you can, and to continue with it is sheer masochism. However, the Stars counsel staying the course – even if it feels counterintuitive. You don’t want to disembark right when you’re on the verge of getting somewhere.

Turning tables are to be expected when Ruling Planet Venus squares Uranus on March 3rd. This is when a bully is exposed, toppled from power, or becomes the victim of their own self-undoing. Yet this is more than just a pendulum swing in the opposite direction. You may be asked to replace them, and should you find yourself lording over someone who once lorded over you, then you need to ask: will you be any better now that you have the upper hand? Retaliation begets retaliation, whereas focusing on repairing the damage that was done brings true liberation and ensures that history doesn’t repeat itself.

Triple conjunctions are rare birds as is, but the fact that two of the planets will be cazimi makes them rarer still! On February 28th, the Sun will conjoin both Mercury and Saturn in the zodiac sign of Pisces.
Typically, a Mercury/Saturn conjunction acts like a wet blanket in the horoscope.Thoughts are leaden, apathy prevails, and you might even feel hopeless because everything you do seems like an exercise in futility.
However, the cazimi changes all that. “Cazimi” comes from the Arabic “kasmimi” and is meant to describe the planet as being in the heart of the Sun. Here the planet becomes resplendent and full of light – but only when it is exactly conjunct the Sun to the degree.
What this does is bring out the best in Mercury and Saturn so that the thoughts of Mercury combine with the profundity of Saturn leading to answers, solutions, and discoveries that are incontestable and empowering.
It’s like knocking on a door on a cold dark night and being welcomed into a home bathed in light and heat. Not only will this uplift your spirits, it may very well bring to an end a search or a journey that you set off on months ago.

Pisces puts a lot of stock in its hopes and dreams, but also knows that these won’t materialize on their own. The challenge of translating what you see in your mind’s eye into your day-to-day life is daunting. The Sun/Saturn conjunction on February 28th will inevitably bring some kind of disappointment, and for many, this will serve as proof that things weren’t meant to be; but for those Pisceans who are truly committed to their vision, this will make you more determined and resourceful. It’s only by working with the paints and brushes that reality furnishes that you’ll create the life you want to live.

One avenue may be closed, but that doesn’t mean you’ve been locked out entirely. Your Ruling Planet Mercury was named after the patron god of prestidigitators and escape artists, so if anyone can devise another approach, it’s you. The problem is the only person who can help is someone you’re not on the best of terms with. What you’ll need to offer is more than just a gift or an apology. The past harm is too great for that. Identify something that will benefit you both mutually and then give the larger share to this person. The steeper the sacrifice, the more help you’ll get.

You’re used to setbacks. You’ve experienced so many delays, complications, and unfulfilled promises that it’s hard to imagine progress without them. On one hand, the complications introduced by a triple conjunction of the Sun, Mercury, and Saturn on February 28th are to be expected. Things were moving along too smoothly for there not to be a hitch; however, these planetary energies aren’t here to thwart but rather to prevent you from repeating a mistake. Like a river, a problem is never experienced the same way twice. Do what it takes to set things up right, and you won’t have to go back and fix it later.

You and a friend face an awkward situation on February 27 when you learn you’re both competing for the same prize. At first, you’ll want to bow out but adopt a “may the best person win” attitude instead. You aren’t betraying a friendship by pursuing something you want any more than the other person is trying to thwart you. You’re equally matched, and this promises to be quite the contest. Just remember to shake hands after one of you is declared the winner. Good sportsmanship is a rare sight nowadays, and the fact that you and your friend practice it is an encouraging sign indeed.

Do you really have to take back that prodigal loved one or penitent friend? Can’t you just stay behind your closed door and pretend that you didn’t hear them knock? Venus/Uranus squares are as famous for splitting up relationships as they are for reuniting people who didn’t part on the best of terms. Since the Venus/Uranus square on March 3rd looks like it will fall in the latter category, you’d be well advised to put on a good face and make the best of it. Who knows? This person you greet this week may surprise you by having changed in ways you never thought possible.

The reason you can’t placate a demanding boss or appease a dissatisfied partner is that this person doesn’t want to be pleased. And it’s not because they have high standards or that you behaved abominably. It’s because they enjoy withholding the approval you seek. It’s the telltale signature of a Sun/Saturn conjunction (February 28th). The best thing to do is to stop trying. That will feel tremendously awkward because it’s Virgo’s nature to accommodate, but once you stop focusing attention on this person, they’ll come looking to see why you stopped showing up. That’s when you can start a constructive conversation about making things right.
