Leo: Monthly business

We all want to succeed and make money, but that doesn’t mean we have to overextend ourselves. Sometimes you overpromise and believe in the potential of matters before a situation has become real. As mercury retrograde roams through your communication sector, you could find this to be true. However, this realization will come only after you’re already overwhelmed by stress. The only answer to this problem is to stop telling your boss, team, or management that you can take on more than you actually can (a lesson you’ll learn when mercury turns direct on october 18). The result of taking on too much is that nothing gets done, or at least not done in the way you want, because you don’t have enough time and dedication to give to the projects. Your desire for acclaim and fame could be causing this situation. Don’t bite off more than you can chew during the libra new moon on the sixth. Saturn’s forward motion on october 10, followed by jupiter’s direct turn a week later, gives you the chance to delegate some of your workload. However, doing that could bring up other problems at work, especially when your boss notices that you aren’t doing it all yourself, and you’re making everyone else take time out of their schedules to help you complete something you committed to doing.
