LEO UNTIL 2008

Love, art, children and creativity. Those are the areas highlighted during the current transit of Pluto. And it's big,too. It's a powerful change in your life direction, creatively or artistically.

Not that you've ever really cared about who knew what you were doing in your private life, because that's always been the tossup between letting people know how hot you were, and being the staunch straight arrow in your community.

And now as Saturn begins its descent in your solar chart, that whole conflict rages once again. In some ways it does matter to you, lots, what people think of you. Even if it's because you do have a political or professional agenda and you don't want to be thought of as unscrupulous or immoral . You have been eeking to establish yourself in one community or another and you don't want some hideous scandal to ruin your reputation. Christ who could blame you?

On the other hand, who gives a damn? You know you are going to be open to a great deal of criticism no matter which way you go, because once everything is out in the open, which it is going to be, and cards are laid out on the table, which they are going to be, someone is going to be offended.

But I've got to say no matter how you defend your position and God knows you are going to do so with ferocity, the more pressing the Pluto vibration in your solar fifth house, the greater will be your urge to be creatively honest and to stand up with your emotional integrity intact. Your integrity as an artist or a lover will be a much more powerful motivation than the fact that you could be strictly censured for your conduct, behavior, beliefs, tactics and creations.

If you've got kids, don't preach about morals because your children are going to show you that times change, and whether it offends you or not, kids are going to do exactly what they have to do. If you are too uppity about what you think is right, your children are going to undo you-- in spades. Your children are your teachers now so don't moralize about other people's behavior.

If you don't have kids or that's not where you are currently focused, if you are more interested in your creative life, then be sure that your artistic drives may not be totally accepted by the authorities of the day. Just as your sexual or emotional life may be at odds with the country club, so your particular views about what art is all about will be far ahead of where society is at the moment. Let's hope they catch up to you in time before you cut your own ear off.

Remember that you cannot be guided by what you believe commercial success to be, especially if it conflicts with what your heart is telling you to do.

Likewise in love. Sometimes you have to do the stupid thing,

the crazy thing.

Sometimes you're pulled along by forces you don't understand.

And nobody else does either.
