Until the 22, the Sun continues to highlight your solar fourth house--a cycle in which home and family matters capture your attention and are a strong source of pride. It's a time when worldly matters are not as important to you. Use this energy to find ways to improve your family relations and your home environment. During this potentially heart-warming cycle, you would do best to allow yourself to explore your inner needs so that you can nurture yourself and others in a healthy, growth-oriented manner. The Sun illuminates your fifth house from the 22. After a period of “nesting”, you are coming out of your shell, ready to perform and to express yourself creatively. This is a very playful period of the year, when you are inspired creatively and emotionally. After a period of self-protectiveness, you are now more spontaneous and more willing to take risks. You take more pride than usual in your creations, your love affairs, your children, and your hobbies. Pleasure and amusement play an important role in your search for freedom of self-expression now. Show off your best colors! You want others to take notice, and you are more sensitive to whether people appreciate you. More than any time of the year, this is the cycle in which you focus on having fun, enjoying romance, and expressing yourself creatively. Your hobbies, leisure time, moments spent with children, gaming time, and so forth, all come into focus at this time of year. This is a cycle in which you find joy in expressing who you are--when your "inner child" comes out to play. This is a time when you are more flirtatious than usual, and when you might take a few risks in life--not only gambling with games but with life itself. You might be a bit of a showman at this time. You are likely feeling good in general, and you tend to spread the joy. You are feeling especially energetic and assertive this month, dear Leo. A sense that you can tackle any project or problem that comes your way is with you. Pressures in partnership are easing this month. Even if you haven't been feeling stress in your relationships, there may have been a feeling of stagnation, and November brings a sense of moving forward. The first few days of the month bring career matters to a peak. Much of your focus, however, is on your home and family until the 23rd, after which you are more sociable. Venus completes her movement through your communications sector in the first 8 days of the month. During that period, you are most attracted to wit, cheerfulness, and verbal rapport. You are especially good at mediating conflicts. Venus transits your solar fourth house from the 8. Domestic relationships and the home environment tend to be harmonious and peaceful during this cycle. You may have a desire to decorate your home with good taste and quality. An inner sense of peace and security prevails. Your affections are strong but you don't wear your heart on your sleeve just now, preferring quiet moments with loved ones. Mercury continues to transit your solar fourth house until the 16. This
is a time during which you can enjoy increased powers of concentration. You
may require solitude in order to get mental work done during this cycle.
Your memory is more retentive than usual, and your thoughts often turn to
personal matters, family, and loved ones. You might particularly enjoy
discussions about your early life, the past, or family matters during this
cycle. In fact, it's a great time to open up conversations with loved ones,
as you are more rational when it comes to personal matters now. Your mind
often wanders to domestic concerns, and issues surrounding your home,
family, and personal past. On the other hand, this transit sometimes
indicates an especially busy, and perhaps hectic, period on the domestic
scene. For example, you might take home work or find that people drop by
your home often during this cycle. Mercury transits your solar fifth house from the 16. During this cycle, there is a powerful mental connection with your creative self-expression. You are proud of your ideas, and very good at expressing them to others smoothly now, although possibly a little too showy when it comes to letting others know what you know! Your thinking is more creative than usual. You tend to entertain others with your conversation, and your sense of humor (and of mischief!) is especially strong. Your thoughts turn to children, pleasures, or romance during this expressive cycle. Mars continues to animate and energize your solar first house this month. You're feeling brave, independent, and eager to begin new projects. Just pace yourself a bit, so you don't upset others with abrupt and impulsive actions. There is much initiative now, with personal involvement in new ventures or undertakings. You are striving for independence and freedom of movement in everyday affairs. New ideas that offer exciting challenges appeal to you now. Circumstances could require you to take the lead in certain situations or activities. You may experience an annoying lack of cooperation from others; but, on the other hand, you might also find others' input annoying! Be patient while driving, in your daily activities, and with others.
Highlights: November 2 A Full Moon occurs today in Taurus in your solar tenth house. You are suddenly in the limelight—everyone notices you now. It's time to put your best foot forward, but be sure to do so with grace and consideration for others, or you may just make a display that you regret later. Perhaps you've been hiding yourself away, taking it easy. Now you need a little attention, and career matters come to a head. You're called to perform, perhaps on a moment's notice, and it's best to keep your cool and do whatever you can to show your competence. A sudden job opportunity, or some form of assistance with regards to career, home, or property matters, could be part of the picture. This can also produce an event that requires you to take charge and show your responsible side. November 2-3 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you're noticed for what you've done or haven't done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don't be afraid to show others exactly what you're made of. You're at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side. November 8-9 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It's all about you now, so it's time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change. November 10-11 Monthly money and income peak. You're looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don't have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up now—the discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible. November 16 A New Moon in Scorpio in your solar fourth house affects you until the next New Moon on December 16th. Home and family may be a focus during this phase. On a personal, developmental level, this is a time to not only listen to what is in your gut, but to pay homage to those feelings! What makes you feel safe and secure? This is the time to explore and develop a sense of inner security. Although the fourth house is associated with the home, it is an angular, cardinal house that stirs up activity. This is a time of re-organization and heightened awareness of your roots, issues of intimacy and vulnerability, and it's an excellent time to come in touch with your feelings and needs. Focusing on your support system and the manner in which you support others is also probable. This is a good time to make long-range plans for the future, to do any type of re-organizing or even re-modeling of the home or home environment, and for family-related activities. November 17-18 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression. November 22-23 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it's time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won't work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it's best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive. November 29-30 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you're noticed for what you've done or haven't done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don't be afraid to show others exactly what you're made of. You're at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

October |
Overview.
Until the 23, the Sun highlights your solar third house--a time of the year in which you are most likely to be a "busy bee". Communications, short trips, errand-running, and general busy-ness feature now. You could have a finger in many pies, so to speak, as your curiosity is piqued by a larger variety of things than usual. Used well, this could be a period in which you come up with solutions to a number of problems. You are more inclined to take pride in your intellectual accomplishments and/or your ability to socialize and make connections.
The Sun is spotlighting your house of family and home from the 23, and these
areas are your instinctive focus during this period. Your family, home, property
concerns, roots, and heritage come into focus and become a source of pride. You
are likely quite preoccupied with feelings of security and your inner
experiences. This is a time when you send down roots and seek a feeling of
belonging. You could be thrust into a position of leadership on the home front.
Ego confrontations with family members are possible now, but the best way to
handle this energy is to do your best to strengthen your relationship to your
family and your home base. This is a time to do what you can to build trust in
your family life and a strong foundation within yourself, so that regardless of
what you meet in the outside world over the next months, you have a secure place
to return to. Besides spending more time tending to domestic affairs, the focus
can be on cultivating and nourishing your inner foundations that support you and
your growth. This is a time to collect yourself--to fill your well, so to speak.
October might be an especially busy and even hectic month for you, dear Leo. You are experiencing a growing awareness that you need to pay attention to building your skills set in order to improve your work output or value, but finding the time to do so is an issue. Your commitments to work and your need to run errands, learn, and network are both pressing, and finding a balance is necessary. The 9-12 is a strong period for romantic relationships and/or creative projects. Watch for stress affecting your relations with others on the 28-31.
Until the 14, Venus continues to grace your solar second house. You might be using diplomacy and charm when it comes to increasing your income. You are especially attracted to the good and comfortable things in life and, but you are also more aware of your desire for security. Success in financial dealings is possible now.
Venus transits your solar third house from the 14. Domestic relationships and the home environment tend to be harmonious and peaceful during this cycle. You may have a desire to decorate your home with good taste and quality. An inner sense of peace and security prevails. Your affections are strong but you don't wear your heart on your sleeve just now, preferring quiet moments with loved ones.
Mercury continues to transit your solar second house until the 10. It's a good cycle under which to take a nice, objective look at your finances, make a budget, or create a new financial plan. Money-making ideas are easier to come by now. Tensions or pressures about money are also possible now. Avoid impulse buying when tense, stressed, or feeling pressured.
Mercury transits your third house, where it feels right at home, from the 10-28. Your mind is especially inquisitive during this cycle, when learning, short trips, and other forms of communication and making connections, appeal strongly. Some are fidgety or nervous during this cycle, perhaps due to increased errand-running, phone calls, or information overload. Others enjoy the challenge of tackling a variety of subjects. As well, talking, writing, and studying can be good ways to handle stress. It's a great time to pick up information from your environment and the people in it. Your mind is often distracted, particularly when required to stick to routine, so this is not the best transit for focusing on one task or project. You might spend a lot of time in your car making short frequent trips, running errands, communicating with siblings and neighbors, and visiting friends and relatives.
Mercury transits your solar fourth house from the 28. This is a time during which you can enjoy increased powers of concentration. You may require solitude in order to get mental work done during this cycle. Your memory is more retentive than usual, and your thoughts often turn to personal matters, family, and loved ones.

On the other hand, this transit sometimes indicates an especially busy, and perhaps hectic, period on the domestic scene. For example, you might take home work or find that people drop by your home often during this cycle.
Mars continues to transit your privacy sector until the 16, and you may be experiencing fluctuating energy levels. Frequent periods of rest, meditation, quiet, or solitude are necessary in order to recharge your energies. You might experience issues with indecisiveness, changeable moods, deception, or self-deception. It's a time to listen to your instincts and wait until matters become more clear before taking action on new plans and initiatives.
Mars energizes your first house from the 16. You're feeling brave, independent, and eager to begin new projects. Just pace yourself a bit, so you don't upset others with abrupt and impulsive actions. There is much initiative now, with personal involvement in new ventures or undertakings. You are striving for independence and freedom of movement in everyday affairs. New ideas that offer exciting challenges appeal to you now. Circumstances could require you to take the lead in certain situations or activities.

Highlights:
October 4 A Full Moon occurs today in Aries in your solar ninth house. Your attention to the logical world of reason has been a focus in the last two weeks. Now you feel a crisis of lack. Your personal beliefs may be tested now. Your impulses and faith matter, and all of the attention you've been giving to mundane affairs has you wondering when you're going to have some fun. You want to take a leap of faith now. Your adventurous side pushes up and out, demanding attention.
October 5-6 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now.

A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value.

October 18 A New Moon in Libra in your solar third house affects you until the next New Moon on November 16th.

It is a time when you will be more aware of your environment, and when you experience increased alertness. It's a good time to take tests, fill out forms, start a new course, write letters, make phone calls, and take care of daily tasks with energy.

September 2009 Leo Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
|
September |
Overview.
Until the 22, the Sun continues to transit your solar second house. This is the most "financial" period of the year for you. You might have a more materialistic view of life for the time being, or you have an increased interest in your own possessions, during this cycle. You are more attracted to objects and possessions that give you a sense of comfort, status, or luxury now. You probably should be on the lookout for a tendency to create your own financial stress due to extravagant spending habits. At this point in the year, you are unlikely to take many risks, and you can be quite resistant to change. This is a time when "comfort zones" are more important to you than usual--you value the familiar.
The Sun is illuminating your communications sector from the 22, suggesting
"busy-ness" and movement. You are exploring and searching now, making
connections, and paying attention to your immediate environment. Social
interaction is emphasized during this period, and is for the most part
light-hearted. Give other people a little extra time and attention, notice their
efforts on your behalf, and strengthen your connections. You are more curious
and alert than usual, and you could be quite busy with errands, paperwork, phone
calls, and light socializing. Much energy is expended in understanding and
adapting to your immediate environment. Siblings, neighbors, close relatives,
friends, and co-workers may play a more important role than usual in your life
during this cycle. You are more interested in exploring your own neighborhood
than you are a different country. This is not a time of big adventure-seeking.
Rather, it's a time of little adventures close to home. Neither is this a time
when you are especially focused. In fact, you could have a finger in many pies
right now. You are especially resourceful now, and you could find yourself
enjoying (or seeking) attention for your intellectual know-how. The ability to
express and communicate your ideas is extremely important to you at this time.
You are eager to investigate new things, whether scientific or technical.
Mercury is retrograde from September 7-29 this month. All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of personal finances, as well as communications with friends or groups, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. Major financial initiatives should be avoided. Remember that friends don't mean what they say and don't say what they mean, and take what you hear with a grain of salt. Group meetings may be delayed or cancelled. Occurring in your solar second and third houses this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to new financial initiatives, composing letters, emails, and phone calls, as well as communicating with neighbors and siblings. Back up your computer and allow sufficient time for delays or transportation mishaps when going for appointments. As well, it would be wise to choose your words carefully. What you say or write can too easily be misinterpreted during this period. There may be the need to revisit old, nagging issues regarding personal finances. Take this time to re-budget instead of making premature purchases. Hold off on decision-making regarding money. Instead, take the time to re-think your sources of income and how you spend your cash during this period, but put off finalizing anything important for the time being. In fact, some money-making ideas or ventures may be put on hold due to circumstances beyond your control. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with co-workers, neighbors, and acquaintances, or take this time to re-examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely.
Saturn opposes Uranus this month, and occurs in your solar second and eighth houses. This long-term transit has been in effect since November 2008, and is renewed this month. A real feeling of restlessness is in the air now. Attempts to assert our individuality, freedom, and originality undermine our feeling of groundedness and security. Yet, we are not satisfied when we conform. There may be sudden and unexpected twists that force us to do something different or free ourselves from old habits. Adjusting our plans is in order, and striking a balance between convention and innovation is the challenge. Setbacks tend to be temporary and often lead to new, more creative paths or solutions. Ambivalence is likely and could color many of our interactions. It can be challenging to make one particular decision and stick to it. For you, pressures surround finances. A partner's erratic contribution may put a strain on your own income. Worries about branching out financially may be taking their toll.
Venus continues to warm your solar first house until the 20. During this trend, a strong desire for companionship and sociability dominates. You want to maintain peace and harmony at all costs. You try to be just and fair when making decisions, as you do your best to see both sides of an issue. Women are likely to enter your life, helping or hindering personal or business affairs. You prefer the company of others, rather than going it alone. Others notice and perhaps admire you for your pleasant and cheerful personality. This is good for your ego, endowing greater self-esteem and an excellent opinion of yourself. This renewed popularity increases success, for you have the tact and diplomacy to deal with people well. Attention is placed on personal appearance, with an interest in jewelry, hairstyling, and clothing. You are more bold in your love nature, yet not aggressive either. You make friends easily during this cycle, and you are especially fond of love and admiration. Artistic self-expression is important, possibly through music, clothing or writing.
From the 20, Venus graces your solar second house. As the natural ruler of this sector of the chart, Venus feels right "at home" here. This is a rather content position for Venus, although there can be some restlessness when it comes to money and spending it--you are more inclined to want more things around you! Financial security and enjoyment of the good things in life are important to you, although you also value simple pleasures. The ability to relate well with others might enhance your own personal finances during this period. You may find yourself in a position in which there is a blending of financial matters with social or public affairs. This is a stable position for love matters and close relationships. You value those who make you feel comfortable, and familiarity is more important to you than someone new during this cycle.
Mars continues to transit your privacy sector this month, indicating that your energy levels can fluctuate day-to-day, and much depends on your emotional state of mind. Frequent periods of quiet and solitude are necessary in order to recharge your energies. On occasion, you may be indecisive, changeable, evasive, and possibly even devious or inclined towards self-deception during this cycle.
Highlights:
September 1-2 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it's time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won't work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it's best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.
September 4 A Full Moon occurs today in Pisces in your solar eighth house. This Full Moon is all about give and take. What makes you feel comfortable and secure needs to be balanced with attention to other people's needs and comfort levels. It's a good time to settle some of your debts, financial or otherwise. You may be in a position wherein you are forced to make a financial settlement or large outlay of cash; or, you may find that you are leaned upon for support, financial or otherwise.
September 6-8 Mercury is stationary retrograde now, and will remain retrograde until September 29th--a cycle during which rethinking matters is the name of the game. When Mercury is stationary, as it is now, it's especially important to prepare for possible breakdowns in communication. Back up your computer, double-check your paperwork, and remember that you may not have all the necessary information to make big decisions for the time being. Avoid signing contracts or deals, as they may not work out as you expected, or they might need revision later.
September 8-9 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you're noticed for what you've done or haven't done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don't be afraid to show others exactly what you're made of. You're at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.
September 15-16 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It's all about you now, so it's time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.
September 17-18 Monthly money and income peak. You're looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don't have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up now—the discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.
September 18 A New Moon in Virgo in your solar second house affects you until the next New Moon on October 18th. Heightened sensitivity to the world of the five senses, to your physical environment, and to the security you gain from the solid ground you have built for yourself is in order for this period of time. Attunement to, and appreciation of, the physical world of the senses is the focus, and this is a time to start fresh in terms of how you arrange your life in order to feel a sense of value and worthiness. Financial issues come into focus. Setting realistic financial goals, as well as formulating such things as budgets and other sensible financial planning projects, will be favored during this time. Discovering ways to increase your income is featured. It is also a wonderful time for taking moments to pleasure yourself through earthy, tactile, and comforting endeavors.
September 23-24 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.
September 28-29 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it's time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won't work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it's best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.
September 28-30 Mercury stations and turns direct on September 29th. Holding off on important discussions, interviews, or contracts is probably wise right now, as thinking is foggy and misunderstandings are likely. As Mercury moves forward and regains speed over the next couple of weeks, we can more easily get new projects off the ground.

Overview.
Until the 22, the Sun continues to illuminate your first house, bringing issues surrounding your personal identity, appearance, outward behavior, and self-expression to the forefront. Spontaneity of expression is what this transit is about. Increased energy and a renewed feeling of confidence is with you now, so take advantage. It's a great period for doing something entirely new and pioneering—to go solo in some area of your life. You are in the position to make an impression on others. You have presence and you project confidence.
The Sun illuminates your second house from the 22, and your focus is on material affairs and comfort issues. Security is a driving force for you right now, and you might find that you are especially interested in accumulating possessions. What you have and what you don't have come into focus--what makes you feel comfortable, your sense of security, and what you value. This is the time of year when personal finances and possessions receive maximum attention. Pour your energy into your work and your finances, and you might just be able to take your ideas to the bank. Extravagance with your pocketbook is something you may want to look out for, however. If you find yourself itching to make unnecessary purchases, know that at the root of this urge is the desire to pamper and comfort yourself. Nothing wrong with it, but there are inexpensive (and even free) ways to make yourself feel good. This is not the most eventful time of year for you. You are more inclined to dig your heels in and hang on to what makes you feel most secure than to take big risks.
The spotlight is on you, your needs, and how you present yourself to others in August, dear Leo. Your mind is focused on security, finances, and practical matters. Matters of the heart touch you deeply, and could involve some personal sacrifices. The 1-8 might feel chaotic, as relationship epiphanies, challenges, and tests occur. It’s an emotional time, but also a period that leads to important discoveries. A surge of personal magnetism and charm heads your way in the last week of the month, when your ideas and conversational skills are in demand.Last month, two eclipses occurred, and this month, there is one more. (Usually eclipses occur in sets of two, but this time around we have three). A Lunar Eclipse occurs on the 5th at approximately 14 degrees Aquarius. The effects of eclipses stay with us for as long as six months, and they reveal main areas of focus for this half-year period. A general rule of thumb regarding eclipses is to avoid major decision-making in the week before an eclipse. This is because new information that could change our perspective often is revealed in the week after the eclipse. Therefore, major decision-making is best avoided from July 30th-August 6th.
The Lunar Eclipse on the 5th stimulates your solar seventh house. Surprises surrounding partnerships and relationships may be in store. Something that has been "in hiding" or brewing under the surface of things comes to light, or there is a significant fruition or culmination. This could manifest as, for example, a surprising revelation from a partner, a circumstance that calls for you to support a significant other, a flurry of activity prompted by a partner's needs or demands for your services from the general public, and other such possibilities. You now have a natural flair for sensing the needs and desires of the general public. You are likely to draw highly emotional and sensitive individuals into your social circle. Partnership "tests" are possible now, but so is a chance to truly connect to a special someone in your life.
Venus journeys through your solar twelfth house until the 26th, which means the goddess of love is spending some time in "hibernation" in your privacy sector. Now, this doesn't necessarily mean that your love life is stagnant, but that your affection is expressed behind closed doors. Attraction to secrets and whispers characterize this period, although for some, it can also be a time of endings, relationship concerns, and wistfulness. Personal and social contacts may be secretive, and there can be secret love affairs, or at least very private love feelings and longings. Shyness can lead to some loneliness or romantic frustration. However, this can also be a deliciously private and intimate time.
Venus graces your solar first house from the 26th. You could find it hard to deny yourself anything during this cycle! This is a time when you naturally let loose your softer, receptive side. Romantic matters, as well as pleasure-seeking activities, come to the fore now. You are more likely to pay closer attention to your physical appearance and mannerisms, aiming to improve and enhance your attractiveness. Others find you agreeable and cooperative.
Mercury transits your solar second house from the 2-25. This is a strong period for analyzing your cash flow, income, and earning power. You are more practical and rational in your approach to finances now. With your conscious mind focused on money and possessions, as well as personal values, this can be a strong period for gathering new money-making ideas. Alternatively, it could be a time when you tend to fret over your finances. Conversations tend to be practical rather than frivolous now. Financial gain may come through communications.
Mercury works its way through your third house from the 25. Mercury is right
at home in the third house, and offers a natural curiosity, facility with words,
and the ability to multi-task successfully. More time spent on the phone,
writing emails, in the car making short frequent trips, chatting, running
errands, communicating with neighbors and siblings, visiting friends and
relatives, and doing paperwork is likely now. There can also be a tendency to
fuss over insignificant matters now, however. Also, "information overload" is
also a possibility. This may be a busy time with neighbors, classmates,
siblings, and community affairs. Your interests are especially varied now, and
perhaps scattered. It's an ideal time to pick up information from your
environment and the people in it, as your tendency is toward a certain level of
intellectual detachment just now. Your mind is often distracted, particularly
when circumstances call for you to stick to routine, so this is not the best
transit for focusing on one task or project. Your mind is especially inquisitive
during this cycle, when learning, short trips, and other forms of communication
and making connections, appeal strongly. Some are fidgety or nervous during this
cycle, perhaps due to increased errand-running, phone calls, and the like.
Others enjoy the challenge of tackling a variety of subjects. As well, talking,
writing, and studying can be good ways to handle stress.
Mars continues to activate and energize your solar eleventh house until the 25, and you are likely to exert your energy and initiative into friendships, social life, and group activities. Friendship is of above-average importance during this cycle, but this is a sphere of life where you may experience some rocky periods since the aggressive, argumentative side of Mars, if left untamed, could cause upsets between yourself and your friends. This will be especially so when others challenge your reasons or motives for certain actions. Leadership qualities are present now. You prefer to lead a group rather than follow during this period, and there are certainly ways to do so without stepping on others' toes. As well, the best way to achieve your goals during this period is to work as a team, or to at least to do some networking. You may have more energy than usual to want to organize projects. Your humanitarian impulse may be stimulated. The role you play for other people in your life becomes the focus. You may feel that your schedule gets overloaded at this time with things to do (usually for others).
From the 25, Mars energizes your solar twelfth house. This
is the time to research and reflect upon your goals. It can be a time when past
actions catch up with you--and this is not necessarily a bad thing! It could
also be a time when much of your energy is channeled into private matters, or
when you prefer that others not observe what you are doing. This is natural--you
may just as well do your best work alone for now. Unconscious behavior patterns
could influence the way you assert yourself. Some may experience insomnia during
this phase, especially if they are not allowing themselves the chance to recoup
and if they are not letting their intuition serve them. Others may enjoy a more
active dreaming life (this includes day-dreaming), and, if allowed to run free,
the imagination can serve them very well, especially with regards to goals and
new concepts.
Highlights:
July 31-August 1 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.
August 5-6 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it's time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won't work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it's best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.
August 5 A Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurs today in Aquarius in your solar seventh house. The New Moon was all about you. Now it's time to strike a balance with an "other". The seventh house represents an important one-to-one relationship--a marriage partner, significant other, business partner, or an adversary. It's time to strike a balance between your own needs and those of another. It's time to compromise and negotiate. Partnership "tests" are possible now, but so is a chance to truly connect to a special someone in your life.
August 12-13 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you're noticed for what you've done or haven't done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don't be afraid to show others exactly what you're made of. You're at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.
August 19-20 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It's all about you now, so it's time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.
August 20 A New Moon in Leo in your solar first house affects you until the next New Moon on September 18th. This New Moon placement is a powerful one—it's a time to reinvent yourself in some personal way, such as with a new look or manner of expressing and presenting yourself. This is a personally busy time of year, when you feel energetic and enthusiastic. Think about how you present yourself to others, focus on changing personal habits in such a way as to improve your confidence in yourself, and concentrate on putting your best foot forward, as this is a time when you will get noticed and make a personal impression on others. However, factor in the importance of authenticity in your presentation of yourself. You do not have to, of course, reveal all of yourself to others, but the sign of Aries associated with the first house reminds us of the importance of acting on our impulses and believing in ourselves. This is a time when you can be brave and enjoy new experiences.
August 20-21 Monthly money and income peak. You're looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don't have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up now—the discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.
August 25-27 Venus, Mercury, and Mars are changing signs, Venus is highlighting the recent Solar Eclipse degree and joining with the South Node of the Moon, Mercury squares Pluto, and Mars opposes Pluto. These influences all occurring at once can point to troubles from the past resurfacing, as well as faulty, hasty, or haughty decision making for all signs. Keep a cool head if you can.
August 27-28 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

Leo (Born
August 3 to 12)
AND Leo Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Leo:
November 2009 Leo Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
|
November |
Overview.
The Sun is spotlighting your house of family and home this month, and these areas are your instinctive focus during this period. Your family, home, property concerns, roots, and heritage come into focus and become a source of pride. You are likely quite preoccupied with feelings of security and your inner experiences. This is a time when you send down roots and seek a feeling of belonging. You could be thrust into a position of leadership on the home front. Ego confrontations with family members are possible now, but the best way to handle this energy is to do your best to strengthen your relationship to your family and your home base. This is a time to do what you can to build trust in your family life and a strong foundation within yourself, so that regardless of what you meet in the outside world over the next months, you have a secure place to return to. Besides spending more time tending to domestic affairs, the focus can be on cultivating and nourishing your inner foundations that support you and your growth. This is a time to collect yourself--to fill your well, so to speak.
You are feeling especially energetic and assertive this month, dear Leo. A sense that you can tackle any project or problem that comes your way is with you. Pressures in partnership are easing this month. Even if you haven't been feeling stress in your relationships, there may have been a feeling of stagnation, and November brings a sense of moving forward. The first few days of the month bring career matters to a peak. Much of your focus, however, is on your home and family until the 23rd, after which you are more sociable.
Venus completes her movement through your communications sector in the first 15 days of the month. During that period, you are most attracted to wit, cheerfulness, and verbal rapport. You are especially good at mediating conflicts. Venus transits your solar fourth house from the 15. Domestic relationships and the home environment tend to be harmonious and peaceful during this cycle. You may have a desire to decorate your home with good taste and quality. An inner sense of peace and security prevails. Your affections are strong but you don't wear your heart on your sleeve just now, preferring quiet moments with loved ones.
Mercury transits your solar fourth house from the 3-22. This
is a time during which you can enjoy increased powers of concentration. You
may require solitude in order to get mental work done during this cycle.
Your memory is more retentive than usual, and your thoughts often turn to
personal matters, family, and loved ones. You might particularly enjoy
discussions about your early life, the past, or family matters during this
cycle. In fact, it's a great time to open up conversations with loved ones,
as you are more rational when it comes to personal matters now. Your mind
often wanders to domestic concerns, and issues surrounding your home,
family, and personal past. On the other hand, this transit sometimes
indicates an especially busy, and perhaps hectic, period on the domestic
scene. For example, you might take home work or find that people drop by
your home often during this cycle.
Mercury transits your solar fifth house from the 22. During this cycle, there is a powerful mental connection with your creative self-expression. You are proud of your ideas, and very good at expressing them to others smoothly now, although possibly a little too showy when it comes to letting others know what you know! Your thinking is more creative than usual. You tend to entertain others with your conversation, and your sense of humor (and of mischief!) is especially strong. Your thoughts turn to children, pleasures, or romance during this expressive cycle.
Mars animates and energizes your solar first house from the 7th. You're feeling brave, independent, and eager to begin new projects. Just pace yourself a bit, so you don't upset others with abrupt and impulsive actions. There is much initiative now, with personal involvement in new ventures or undertakings. You are striving for independence and freedom of movement in everyday affairs. New ideas that offer exciting challenges appeal to you now. Circumstances could require you to take the lead in certain situations or activities. You may experience an annoying lack of cooperation from others; but, on the other hand, you might also find others' input annoying! Be patient while driving, in your daily activities, and with others.
Highlights:
November 2 A Full Moon occurs today in Taurus in your solar tenth house. You are suddenly in the limelight—everyone notices you now. It's time to put your best foot forward, but be sure to do so with grace and consideration for others, or you may just make a display that you regret later. Perhaps you've been hiding yourself away, taking it easy. Now you need a little attention, and career matters come to a head. You're called to perform, perhaps on a moment's notice, and it's best to keep your cool and do whatever you can to show your competence. A sudden job opportunity, or some form of assistance with regards to career, home, or property matters, could be part of the picture. This can also produce an event that requires you to take charge and show your responsible side.
November 2-3 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you're noticed for what you've done or haven't done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don't be afraid to show others exactly what you're made of. You're at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.
November 9-10 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It's all about you now, so it's time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.
November 11-12 Monthly money and income peak. You're looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don't have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up now—the discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.
November 16 A New Moon in Scorpio in your solar fourth house affects you until the next New Moon on December 16th. Home and family may be a focus during this phase. On a personal, developmental level, this is a time to not only listen to what is in your gut, but to pay homage to those feelings! What makes you feel safe and secure? This is the time to explore and develop a sense of inner security. Although the fourth house is associated with the home, it is an angular, cardinal house that stirs up activity. This is a time of re-organization and heightened awareness of your roots, issues of intimacy and vulnerability, and it's an excellent time to come in touch with your feelings and needs. Focusing on your support system and the manner in which you support others is also probable. This is a good time to make long-range plans for the future, to do any type of re-organizing or even re-modeling of the home or home environment, and for family-related activities.
November 18-19 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.
November 23-24 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it's time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won't work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it's best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.
November 30-December 1 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you're noticed for what you've done or haven't done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don't be afraid to show others exactly what you're made of. You're at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.

Leo (Born
August 3 to 12)
AND Leo Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Leo:
October 2009 Leo Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
|
October |
Overview.
The Sun is illuminating your communications sector this month, suggesting
"busy-ness" and movement. You are exploring and searching now, making
connections, and paying attention to your immediate environment. Social
interaction is emphasized during this period, and is for the most part
light-hearted. Give other people a little extra time and attention, notice
their efforts on your behalf, and strengthen your connections. You are more
curious and alert than usual, and you could be quite busy with errands,
paperwork, phone calls, and light socializing. Much energy is expended in
understanding and adapting to your immediate environment. Siblings,
neighbors, close relatives, friends, and co-workers may play a more
important role than usual in your life during this cycle. You are more
interested in exploring your own neighborhood than you are a different
country. This is not a time of big adventure-seeking. Rather, it's a time of
little adventures close to home. Neither is this a time when you are
especially focused. In fact, you could have a finger in many pies right now.
You are especially resourceful now, and you could find yourself enjoying (or
seeking) attention for your intellectual know-how. The ability to express
and communicate your ideas is extremely important to you at this time. You
are eager to investigate new things, whether scientific or technical.
October might be an especially busy and even hectic month for you, dear Leo. You are experiencing a growing awareness that you need to pay attention to building your skills set in order to improve your work output or value, but finding the time to do so is an issue. Your commitments to work and your need to run errands, learn, and network are both pressing, and finding a balance is necessary. The 9-12 is a strong period for romantic relationships and/or creative projects. Watch for stress affecting your relations with others on the 28-31.
Until the 22, Venus continues to grace your solar second house. You might be using diplomacy and charm when it comes to increasing your income. You are especially attracted to the good and comfortable things in life and, but you are also more aware of your desire for security. Success in financial dealings is possible now.
Venus transits your solar third house from the 22. Domestic relationships and the home environment tend to be harmonious and peaceful during this cycle. You may have a desire to decorate your home with good taste and quality. An inner sense of peace and security prevails. Your affections are strong but you don't wear your heart on your sleeve just now, preferring quiet moments with loved ones.
Mercury continues to transit your solar second house until the 16. It's a good cycle under which to take a nice, objective look at your finances, make a budget, or create a new financial plan. Money-making ideas are easier to come by now. Tensions or pressures about money are also possible now. Avoid impulse buying when tense, stressed, or feeling pressured.
Mercury transits your third house, where it feels right at home, from the 16. Your mind is especially inquisitive during this cycle, when learning, short trips, and other forms of communication and making connections, appeal strongly. Some are fidgety or nervous during this cycle, perhaps due to increased errand-running, phone calls, or information overload. Others enjoy the challenge of tackling a variety of subjects. As well, talking, writing, and studying can be good ways to handle stress. It's a great time to pick up information from your environment and the people in it. Your mind is often distracted, particularly when required to stick to routine, so this is not the best transit for focusing on one task or project. You might spend a lot of time in your car making short frequent trips, running errands, communicating with siblings and neighbors, and visiting friends and relatives.
Mars continues to transit your privacy sector this month, and you may be experiencing fluctuating energy levels. Frequent periods of rest, meditation, quiet, or solitude are necessary in order to recharge your energies. You might experience issues with indecisiveness, changeable moods, deception, or self-deception. It's a time to listen to your instincts and wait until matters become more clear before taking action on new plans and initiatives.
Highlights:
October 4 A Full Moon occurs today in Aries in your solar ninth house. Your attention to the logical world of reason has been a focus in the last two weeks. Now you feel a crisis of lack. Your personal beliefs may be tested now. Your impulses and faith matter, and all of the attention you've been giving to mundane affairs has you wondering when you're going to have some fun. You want to take a leap of faith now. Your adventurous side pushes up and out, demanding attention.
October 6-7 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you're noticed for what you've done or haven't done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don't be afraid to show others exactly what you're made of. You're at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.
October 13-14 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It's all about you now, so it's time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.
October 14-15 Monthly money and income peak. You're looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don't have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up now—the discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.
October 18 A New Moon in Libra in your solar third house affects you until the next New Moon on November 16th. The third house rules our communication skills, learning, methods, daily interactions and contact, and general "busy-ness". This is a favorable time for learning something new, feeling at ease in social situations, taking care of the details of daily life, and developing a mental rapport with others. It is a time when you will be more aware of your environment, and when you experience increased alertness. It's a good time to take tests, fill out forms, start a new course, write letters, make phone calls, and take care of daily tasks with energy.
October 21-22 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.
October 26-27 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it's time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won't work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it's best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role.

AND Leo Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Leo:
September 2009 Leo Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
|
September |
Overview.
The Sun highlights your second house this month, and your focus is on material affairs and comfort issues. Security is a driving force for you right now, and you might find that you are especially interested in accumulating possessions. What you have and what you don't have come into focus--what makes you feel comfortable, your sense of security, and what you value. This is the time of year when personal finances and possessions receive maximum attention. Pour your energy into your work and your finances, and you might just be able to take your ideas to the bank. Extravagance with your pocketbook is something you may want to look out for, however. If you find yourself itching to make unnecessary purchases, know that at the root of this urge is the desire to pamper and comfort yourself. Nothing wrong with it, but there are inexpensive (and even free) ways to make yourself feel good. This is not the most eventful time of year for you. You are more inclined to dig your heels in and hang on to what makes you feel most secure than to take big risks.
September is a month in which your desire for pleasure and comfort tends to rule, dear Leo. The goddess of Love, Venus, is occupying your sign until the 20th, and you’ll find that others are especially appreciative of your sense of style. Although you are typically a straightforward go-getter, this month you’re in a more receptive state, taking a little extra downtime and perhaps engaging in more private activities and passions. Financial responsibilities need attention, especially around the 18th, when it’s a great time for creating a new budget.Mercury is retrograde from September 7-29 this month. All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of personal finances, as well as communications with friends or groups, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. Major financial initiatives should be avoided. Remember that friends don't mean what they say and don't say what they mean, and take what you hear with a grain of salt. Group meetings may be delayed or cancelled. Occurring in your solar second house this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to new financial initiatives. There may be the need to revisit old, nagging issues regarding personal finances. Take this time to re-budget instead of making premature purchases. Hold off on decision-making regarding money. Instead, take the time to re-think your sources of income and how you spend your cash during this period, but put off finalizing anything important for the time being. In fact, some money-making ideas or ventures may be put on hold due to circumstances beyond your control.
Saturn opposes Uranus this month, and occurs in your solar second and eighth houses. This long-term transit has been in effect since November 2008, and is renewed this month. A real feeling of restlessness is in the air now. Attempts to assert our individuality, freedom, and originality undermine our feeling of groundedness and security. Yet, we are not satisfied when we conform. There may be sudden and unexpected twists that force us to do something different or free ourselves from old habits. Adjusting our plans is in order, and striking a balance between convention and innovation is the challenge. Setbacks tend to be temporary and often lead to new, more creative paths or solutions. Ambivalence is likely and could color many of our interactions. It can be challenging to make one particular decision and stick to it. For you, pressures surround finances. A partner's erratic contribution may put a strain on your own income. Worries about branching out financially may be taking their toll.
Venus warms your solar first house from the 4-28. During this trend, a strong desire for companionship and sociability dominates. You want to maintain peace and harmony at all costs. You try to be just and fair when making decisions, as you do your best to see both sides of an issue. Women are likely to enter your life, helping or hindering personal or business affairs. You prefer the company of others, rather than going it alone. Others notice and perhaps admire you for your pleasant and cheerful personality. This is good for your ego, endowing greater self-esteem and an excellent opinion of yourself. This renewed popularity increases success, for you have the tact and diplomacy to deal with people well. Attention is placed on personal appearance, with an interest in jewelry, hairstyling, and clothing. You are more bold in your love nature, yet not aggressive either. You make friends easily during this cycle, and you are especially fond of love and admiration. Artistic self-expression is important, possibly through music, clothing or writing.
From the 28, Venus graces your solar second house. As the natural ruler of this sector of the chart, Venus feels right "at home" here. This is a rather content position for Venus, although there can be some restlessness when it comes to money and spending it--you are more inclined to want more things around you! Financial security and enjoyment of the good things in life are important to you, although you also value simple pleasures. The ability to relate well with others might enhance your own personal finances during this period. You may find yourself in a position in which there is a blending of financial matters with social or public affairs. This is a stable position for love matters and close relationships. You value those who make you feel comfortable, and familiarity is more important to you than someone new during this cycle.
Mars continues his journey through your solar eleventh until the 11, and you are likely to exert your energy and initiative into friendships, social life, and group activities. Friendship is of above-average importance during this cycle, but this is a sphere of life where you may experience some rocky periods since the aggressive, argumentative side of Mars, if left untamed, could cause upsets between yourself and your friends. This will be especially so when others challenge your reasons or motives for certain actions. Leadership qualities are present now. You prefer to lead a group rather than follow during this period, and there are certainly ways to do so without stepping on others' toes. As well, the best way to achieve your goals during this period is to work as a team, or to at least to do some networking. You may have more energy than usual to want to organize projects. Your humanitarian impulse may be stimulated. The role you play for other people in your life becomes the focus. You may feel that your schedule gets overloaded at this time with things to do (usually for others).
Mars energizes your privacy sector from the 11. This is the time to research and reflect upon your goals. It can be a time when past actions catch up with you--and this is not necessarily a bad thing! It could also be a time when much of your energy is channeled into private matters, or when you prefer that others not observe what you are doing. This is natural--you may just as well do your best work alone for now. Unconscious behavior patterns could influence the way you assert yourself. Some may experience insomnia during this phase, especially if they are not allowing themselves the chance to recoup and if they are not letting their intuition serve them. Others may enjoy a more active dreaming life (this includes day-dreaming), and, if allowed to run free, the imagination can serve them very well, especially with regards to goals and new concepts.
Highlights:
September 2-3 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it's time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won't work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it's best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.
September 4 A Full Moon occurs today in Pisces in your solar seventh house. The New Moon was all about you. Now it's time to strike a balance with an "other". The seventh house represents an important one-to-one relationship--a marriage partner, significant other, business partner, or an adversary. It's time to strike a balance between your own needs and those of another. It's time to compromise and negotiate. Partnership "tests" are possible now, but so is a chance to truly connect to a special someone in your life.
September 6-8 Mercury is stationary retrograde now, and will remain retrograde until September 29th--a cycle during which rethinking matters is the name of the game. When Mercury is stationary, as it is now, it's especially important to prepare for possible breakdowns in communication. Back up your computer, double-check your paperwork, and remember that you may not have all the necessary information to make big decisions for the time being. Avoid signing contracts or deals, as they may not work out as you expected, or they might need revision later.
September 9-10 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you're noticed for what you've done or haven't done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don't be afraid to show others exactly what you're made of. You're at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.
September 15-16 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It's all about you now, so it's time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.
September 17-18 Monthly money and income peak. You're looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don't have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up now—the discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.
September 18 A New Moon in Virgo in your solar second house affects you until the next New Moon on October 18th. Heightened sensitivity to the world of the five senses, to your physical environment, and to the security you gain from the solid ground you have built for yourself is in order for this period of time. Attunement to, and appreciation of, the physical world of the senses is the focus, and this is a time to start fresh in terms of how you arrange your life in order to feel a sense of value and worthiness. Financial issues come into focus. Setting realistic financial goals, as well as formulating such things as budgets and other sensible financial planning projects, will be favored during this time. Discovering ways to increase your income is featured. It is also a wonderful time for taking moments to pleasure yourself through earthy, tactile, and comforting endeavors.
September 24-25 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.
September 28-30 Mercury stations and turns direct on September 29th. Holding off on important discussions, interviews, or contracts is probably wise right now, as thinking is foggy and misunderstandings are likely. As Mercury moves forward and regains speed over the next couple of weeks, we can more easily get new projects off the ground.
September 29-30 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it's time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won't work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it's best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

Leo (Born
August 3 to 12)
AND Leo Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Leo:
August 2009 Leo Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
|
August |
Overview.
The Sun illuminates your first house this month, bringing issues surrounding your personal identity, appearance, outward behavior, and self-expression to the forefront. This marks the height of your physical solar cycle, and you are in the position to make an impression on others, and to assert your personal influence beyond its normal boundaries. Spontaneity of expression is what this transit is about. You are ready to put your past behind you and to start a new personal cycle. You have presence and you project confidence. Increased energy and a renewed feeling of confidence is with you now, so take advantage. It's a great month to do something entirely new and pioneering—to go solo in some area of your life. This particular season of the year smiles on your personal endeavors. This is a time when you more easily get in touch with a true sense of your identity and purpose. The most enterprising side of your nature pushes up and out, and it's time to seize opportunities. Problems in your life may be overcome by bravery, self-assertion, and directness. There's nothing wrong with a bit of self-centeredness during this cycle, but avoid taking it too far. It's not the best time for team work and other cooperative endeavors. The spotlight is on you and your ability to lead, so make it a good one! Take steps to improve how you come across to others. It's time to carve your own path in life.
The spotlight is on you, your needs, and how you present yourself to others in August, dear Leo. Your mind is focused on security, finances, and practical matters. Matters of the heart touch you deeply, and could involve some personal sacrifices. The 1-8 might feel chaotic, as relationship epiphanies, challenges, and tests occur. It’s an emotional time, but also a period that leads to important discoveries. A surge of personal magnetism and charm heads your way in the last week of the month, when your ideas and conversational skills are in demand.Last month, two eclipses occurred, and this month, there is one more. (Usually eclipses occur in sets of two, but this time around we have three). A Lunar Eclipse occurs on the 5th at approximately 14 degrees Aquarius. The effects of eclipses stay with us for as long as six months, and they reveal main areas of focus for this half-year period. A general rule of thumb regarding eclipses is to avoid major decision-making in the week before an eclipse. This is because new information that could change our perspective often is revealed in the week after the eclipse. Therefore, major decision-making is best avoided from July 30th-August 6th.
The Lunar Eclipse on the 5th stimulates your solar seventh house. Surprises surrounding partnerships and relationships may be in store. Something that has been "in hiding" or brewing under the surface of things comes to light, or there is a significant fruition or culmination. This could manifest as, for example, a surprising revelation from a partner, a circumstance that calls for you to support a significant other, a flurry of activity prompted by a partner's needs or demands for your services from the general public, and other such possibilities. You now have a natural flair for sensing the needs and desires of the general public. You are likely to draw highly emotional and sensitive individuals into your social circle. Partnership "tests" are possible now, but so is a chance to truly connect to a special someone in your life.
Venus journeys through your solar eleventh house until the 9th, where she enlivens your friendships and group associations with charm and grace. You are likely to enjoy a strong feeling of happiness and solidarity in friendship, or with groups of like-minded individuals. You are more peace-loving than usual and slightly detached on a personal level. If a romance were to occur during this time frame, it would be characterized by a strong feeling of camaraderie, but it could also be rather impersonal and perhaps lacking in depth and intimacy.
Venus journeys through your solar twelfth house from the 9th, which means the goddess of love is spending some time in "hibernation" in your privacy sector. Now, this doesn't necessarily mean that your love life is stagnant, but that your affection is expressed behind closed doors. Attraction to secrets and whispers characterize this period, although for some, it can also be a time of endings, relationship concerns, and wistfulness. Personal and social contacts may be secretive, and there can be secret love affairs, or at least very private love feelings and longings. Shyness can lead to some loneliness or romantic frustration. However, this can also be a deliciously private and intimate time.
Mercury continues to work its way through your first house until the 9th. This is a cycle in which you tend to talk more readily, particularly about your own personal likes and dislikes or your personal past. Your demeanor is light-hearted and curious, and others might turn to you for advice, as you appear to be more rational than usual. This is the time of year when you can most easily use the power of words to attract what you want for yourself.
Mercury transits your solar second house from the 9th. This is a strong
period for analyzing your cash flow, income, and earning power. You are more
practical and rational in your approach to finances now. With your conscious
mind focused on money and possessions, as well as personal values, this can be a
strong period for gathering new money-making ideas. Alternatively, it could be a
time when you tend to fret over your finances. Conversations tend to be
practical rather than frivolous now. Financial gain may come through
communications.
Mars continues to activate and energize your solar eleventh house this month,
and you are likely to exert your energy and initiative into friendships, social
life, and group activities. Friendship is of above-average importance during
this cycle, but this is a sphere of life where you may experience some rocky
periods since the aggressive, argumentative side of Mars, if left untamed, could
cause upsets between yourself and your friends. This will be especially so when
others challenge your reasons or motives for certain actions. Leadership
qualities are present now. You prefer to lead a group rather than follow during
this period, and there are certainly ways to do so without stepping on others'
toes. As well, the best way to achieve your goals during this period is to work
as a team, or to at least to do some networking. You may have more energy than
usual to want to organize projects. Your humanitarian impulse may be stimulated.
The role you play for other people in your life becomes the focus. You may feel
that your schedule gets overloaded at this time with things to do (usually for
others).
Highlights:
August 1-2 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.
August 5-6 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it's time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won't work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it's best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.
August 5 A Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurs today in Aquarius in your solar seventh house. The New Moon was all about you. Now it's time to strike a balance with an "other". The seventh house represents an important one-to-one relationship--a marriage partner, significant other, business partner, or an adversary. It's time to strike a balance between your own needs and those of another. It's time to compromise and negotiate. Partnership "tests" are possible now, but so is a chance to truly connect to a special someone in your life.
August 13-14 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you're noticed for what you've done or haven't done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don't be afraid to show others exactly what you're made of. You're at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.
August 19-20 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It's all about you now, so it's time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.
August 20 A New Moon in Leo in your solar first house affects you until the next New Moon on September 18th. This New Moon placement is a powerful one—it's a time to reinvent yourself in some personal way, such as with a new look or manner of expressing and presenting yourself. This is a personally busy time of year, when you feel energetic and enthusiastic. Think about how you present yourself to others, focus on changing personal habits in such a way as to improve your confidence in yourself, and concentrate on putting your best foot forward, as this is a time when you will get noticed and make a personal impression on others. However, factor in the importance of authenticity in your presentation of yourself. You do not have to, of course, reveal all of yourself to others, but the sign of Aries associated with the first house reminds us of the importance of acting on our impulses and believing in ourselves. This is a time when you can be brave and enjoy new experiences.
August 21-22 Monthly money and income peak. You're looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don't have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up now—the discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.
August 25-27 Venus, Mercury, and Mars are changing signs, Venus is highlighting the recent Solar Eclipse degree and joining with the South Node of the Moon, Mercury squares Pluto, and Mars opposes Pluto. These influences all occurring at once can point to troubles from the past resurfacing, as well as faulty, hasty, or haughty decision making for all signs. Keep a cool head if you can.
August 28-29 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

Leo (Born
August 13 to 22)
AND Leo Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Leo:
November 2009 Leo Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
|
November |
Overview.
Until the 12, the Sun highlights your solar third house--a time of the year in which you are most likely to be a "busy bee". Communications, short trips, errand-running, and general busy-ness feature now. You could have a finger in many pies, so to speak, as your curiosity is piqued by a larger variety of things than usual. Used well, this could be a period in which you come up with solutions to a number of problems. You are more inclined to take pride in your intellectual accomplishments and/or your ability to socialize and make connections.
The Sun is spotlighting your house of family and home from the 12, and these areas are your instinctive focus during this period. Your family, home, property concerns, roots, and heritage come into focus and become a source of pride. You are likely quite preoccupied with feelings of security and your inner experiences. This is a time when you send down roots and seek a feeling of belonging. You could be thrust into a position of leadership on the home front. Ego confrontations with family members are possible now, but the best way to handle this energy is to do your best to strengthen your relationship to your family and your home base. This is a time to do what you can to build trust in your family life and a strong foundation within yourself, so that regardless of what you meet in the outside world over the next months, you have a secure place to return to. Besides spending more time tending to domestic affairs, the focus can be on cultivating and nourishing your inner foundations that support you and your growth. This is a time to collect yourself--to fill your well, so to speak.
You are feeling especially energetic and assertive this month, dear Leo. A sense that you can tackle any project or problem that comes your way is with you. Pressures in partnership are easing this month. Even if you haven't been feeling stress in your relationships, there may have been a feeling of stagnation, and November brings a sense of moving forward. The first few days of the month bring career matters to a peak. Much of your focus, however, is on your home and family until the 23rd, after which you are more sociable.
Venus completes her movement through your communications sector in the first 23 days of the month. During that period, you are most attracted to wit, cheerfulness, and verbal rapport. You are especially good at mediating conflicts. Venus transits your solar fourth house from the 23. Domestic relationships and the home environment tend to be harmonious and peaceful during this cycle. You may have a desire to decorate your home with good taste and quality. An inner sense of peace and security prevails. Your affections are strong but you don't wear your heart on your sleeve just now, preferring quiet moments with loved ones.
Mercury transits your solar fourth house from the 9-29. This is a time during which you can enjoy increased powers of concentration. You may require solitude in order to get mental work done during this cycle. Your memory is more retentive than usual, and your thoughts often turn to personal matters, family, and loved ones. You might particularly enjoy discussions about your early life, the past, or family matters during this cycle. In fact, it's a great time to open up conversations with loved ones, as you are more rational when it comes to personal matters now. Your mind often wanders to domestic concerns, and issues surrounding your home, family, and personal past. On the other hand, this transit sometimes indicates an especially busy, and perhaps hectic, period on the domestic scene. For example, you might take home work or find that people drop by your home often during this cycle.
Mars continues to transit your privacy sector again this month, and you may be experiencing fluctuating energy levels. Frequent periods of rest, meditation, quiet, or solitude are necessary in order to recharge your energies. You might experience issues with indecisiveness, changeable moods, deception, or self-deception. It's a time to listen to your instincts and wait until matters become more clear before taking action on new plans and initiatives.
Highlights:
November 2 A Full Moon occurs today in Taurus in your solar ninth house. Your attention to the logical world of reason has been a focus in the last two weeks. Now you feel a crisis of lack. Your personal beliefs may be tested now. Your impulses and faith matter, and all of the attention you've been giving to mundane affairs has you wondering when you're going to have some fun. You want to take a leap of faith now. Your adventurous side pushes up and out, demanding attention.
November 3-4 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you're noticed for what you've done or haven't done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don't be afraid to show others exactly what you're made of. You're at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.
November 10-11 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It's all about you now, so it's time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.
November 12-13 Monthly money and income peak. You're looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don't have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up now—the discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.
November 16 A New Moon in Scorpio in your solar fourth house affects you until the next New Moon on December 16th. Home and family may be a focus during this phase. On a personal, developmental level, this is a time to not only listen to what is in your gut, but to pay homage to those feelings! What makes you feel safe and secure? This is the time to explore and develop a sense of inner security. Although the fourth house is associated with the home, it is an angular, cardinal house that stirs up activity. This is a time of re-organization and heightened awareness of your roots, issues of intimacy and vulnerability, and it's an excellent time to come in touch with your feelings and needs. Focusing on your support system and the manner in which you support others is also probable. This is a good time to make long-range plans for the future, to do any type of re-organizing or even re-modeling of the home or home environment, and for family-related activities.
November 19-20 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.
November 24-25 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it's time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won't work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it's best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

Leo (Born
August 13 to 22)
AND Leo Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Leo:
October 2009 Leo Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
|
October |
Overview.
Until the 13th, the Sun continues to transit your solar second house. This is the most "financial" period of the year for you. You might have a more materialistic view of life for the time being, or you have an increased interest in your own possessions, during this cycle. You are more attracted to objects and possessions that give you a sense of comfort, status, or luxury now. You probably should be on the lookout for a tendency to create your own financial stress due to extravagant spending habits. At this point in the year, you are unlikely to take many risks, and you can be quite resistant to change. This is a time when "comfort zones" are more important to you than usual--you value the familiar.
The Sun is illuminating your communications sector from the 13,
suggesting "busy-ness" and movement. You are exploring and searching now,
making connections, and paying attention to your immediate environment.
Social interaction is emphasized during this period, and is for the most
part light-hearted. Give other people a little extra time and attention,
notice their efforts on your behalf, and strengthen your connections. You
are more curious and alert than usual, and you could be quite busy with
errands, paperwork, phone calls, and light socializing. Much energy is
expended in understanding and adapting to your immediate environment.
Siblings, neighbors, close relatives, friends, and co-workers may play a
more important role than usual in your life during this cycle. You are more
interested in exploring your own neighborhood than you are a different
country. This is not a time of big adventure-seeking. Rather, it's a time of
little adventures close to home. Neither is this a time when you are
especially focused. In fact, you could have a finger in many pies right now.
You are especially resourceful now, and you could find yourself enjoying (or
seeking) attention for your intellectual know-how. The ability to express
and communicate your ideas is extremely important to you at this time. You
are eager to investigate new things, whether scientific or technical.
October might be an especially busy and even hectic month for you, dear Leo. You are experiencing a growing awareness that you need to pay attention to building your skills set in order to improve your work output or value, but finding the time to do so is an issue. Your commitments to work and your need to run errands, learn, and network are both pressing, and finding a balance is necessary. The 9-12 is a strong period for romantic relationships and/or creative projects. Watch for stress affecting your relations with others on the 28-31.
Venus continues to warm your solar first house until the 6. A strong desire for companionship and sociability dominates. You want to maintain peace and harmony, and you do your best to be fair when making decisions. Women may enter your life. Others are more likely to notice and perhaps admire you. You place more attention on personal appearance. You make friends easily during this cycle. Artistic self-expression is important.
Venus graces your solar second house from the 6-31. You might be using diplomacy and charm when it comes to increasing your income. You are especially attracted to the good and comfortable things in life and, but you are also more aware of your desire for security. Success in financial dealings is possible now.
Mercury continues to transit your solar second house until the 22. It's a good cycle under which to take a nice, objective look at your finances, make a budget, or create a new financial plan. Money-making ideas are easier to come by now. Tensions or pressures about money are also possible now. Avoid impulse buying when tense, stressed, or feeling pressured.
Mercury transits your third house, where it feels right at home, from the 22. Your mind is especially inquisitive during this cycle, when learning, short trips, and other forms of communication and making connections, appeal strongly. Some are fidgety or nervous during this cycle, perhaps due to increased errand-running, phone calls, or information overload. Others enjoy the challenge of tackling a variety of subjects. As well, talking, writing, and studying can be good ways to handle stress. It's a great time to pick up information from your environment and the people in it. Your mind is often distracted, particularly when required to stick to routine, so this is not the best transit for focusing on one task or project. You might spend a lot of time in your car making short frequent trips, running errands, communicating with siblings and neighbors, and visiting friends and relatives.
Mars continues to transit your privacy sector this month, and you may be experiencing fluctuating energy levels. Frequent periods of rest, meditation, quiet, or solitude are necessary in order to recharge your energies. You might experience issues with indecisiveness, changeable moods, deception, or self-deception. It's a time to listen to your instincts and wait until matters become more clear before taking action on new plans and initiatives.
Highlights:
September 30-October 1 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it's time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won't work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it's best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.
October 4 A Full Moon occurs today in Aries in your solar eighth house. This Full Moon is all about give and take. What makes you feel comfortable and secure needs to be balanced with attention to other people's needs and comfort levels. It's a good time to settle some of your debts, financial or otherwise. You may be in a position wherein you are forced to make a financial settlement or large outlay of cash; or, you may find that you are leaned upon for support, financial or otherwise.
October 7-8 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you're noticed for what you've done or haven't done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don't be afraid to show others exactly what you're made of. You're at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.
October 13-14 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It's all about you now, so it's time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.
October 14-15 Monthly money and income peak. You're looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don't have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up now—the discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.
October 18 A New Moon in Libra in your solar third house affects you until the next New Moon on November 16th. The third house rules our communication skills, learning, methods, daily interactions and contact, and general "busy-ness". This is a favorable time for learning something new, feeling at ease in social situations, taking care of the details of daily life, and developing a mental rapport with others. It is a time when you will be more aware of your environment, and when you experience increased alertness. It's a good time to take tests, fill out forms, start a new course, write letters, make phone calls, and take care of daily tasks with energy.
October 22-23 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.
October 27-28 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it's time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won't work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it's best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

Leo (Born
August 13 to 22)
AND Leo Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Leo:
September 2009 Leo Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
|
September |
Overview.
Until the 12th, the Sun illuminates your first house, bringing issues surrounding your personal identity, appearance, outward behavior, and self-expression to the forefront. Spontaneity of expression is what this transit is about. Increased energy and a renewed feeling of confidence is with you now, so take advantage. It's a great period for doing something entirely new and pioneering—to go solo in some area of your life. You are in the position to make an impression on others. You have presence and you project confidence.
The Sun highlights your second house from the 12, and your focus is on material affairs and comfort issues. Security is a driving force for you right now, and you might find that you are especially interested in accumulating possessions. What you have and what you don't have come into focus--what makes you feel comfortable, your sense of security, and what you value. This is the time of year when personal finances and possessions receive maximum attention. Pour your energy into your work and your finances, and you might just be able to take your ideas to the bank. Extravagance with your pocketbook is something you may want to look out for, however. If you find yourself itching to make unnecessary purchases, know that at the root of this urge is the desire to pamper and comfort yourself. Nothing wrong with it, but there are inexpensive (and even free) ways to make yourself feel good. This is not the most eventful time of year for you. You are more inclined to dig your heels in and hang on to what makes you feel most secure than to take big risks.
September is a month in which your desire for pleasure and comfort tends to rule, dear Leo. The goddess of Love, Venus, is occupying your sign until the 20th, and you’ll find that others are especially appreciative of your sense of style. Although you are typically a straightforward go-getter, this month you’re in a more receptive state, taking a little extra downtime and perhaps engaging in more private activities and passions. Financial responsibilities need attention, especially around the 18th, when it’s a great time for creating a new budget.Mercury is retrograde from September 7-29 this month. All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of personal finances, as well as communications with friends or groups, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. Major financial initiatives should be avoided. Remember that friends don't mean what they say and don't say what they mean, and take what you hear with a grain of salt. Group meetings may be delayed or cancelled. Occurring in your solar second house this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to new financial initiatives. There may be the need to revisit old, nagging issues regarding personal finances. Take this time to re-budget instead of making premature purchases. Hold off on decision-making regarding money. Instead, take the time to re-think your sources of income and how you spend your cash during this period, but put off finalizing anything important for the time being. In fact, some money-making ideas or ventures may be put on hold due to circumstances beyond your control.
Saturn opposes Uranus this month, and occurs in your solar second and eighth houses. This long-term transit has been in effect since November 2008, and is renewed this month. A real feeling of restlessness is in the air now. Attempts to assert our individuality, freedom, and originality undermine our feeling of groundedness and security. Yet, we are not satisfied when we conform. There may be sudden and unexpected twists that force us to do something different or free ourselves from old habits. Adjusting our plans is in order, and striking a balance between convention and innovation is the challenge. Setbacks tend to be temporary and often lead to new, more creative paths or solutions. Ambivalence is likely and could color many of our interactions. It can be challenging to make one particular decision and stick to it. For you, pressures surround finances. A partner's erratic contribution may put a strain on your own income. Worries about branching out financially may be taking their toll.
Until the 10th, Venus continues to move through your privacy sector. Matters of the heart touch you deeply. You may willingly play a supportive role to a partner, offering him or her more compassion and selfless love. If a romance were to begin during this period, it would likely be a private or even secret one. What you don't know might just be helping you right now, because what's happening behind your back is moving in your favor and all will come out happily when your dreams become a reality soon enough.
Venus warms your solar first house from the 12. During this trend, a strong desire for companionship and sociability dominates. You want to maintain peace and harmony at all costs. You try to be just and fair when making decisions, as you do your best to see both sides of an issue. Women are likely to enter your life, helping or hindering personal or business affairs. You prefer the company of others, rather than going it alone. Others notice and perhaps admire you for your pleasant and cheerful personality. This is good for your ego, endowing greater self-esteem and an excellent opinion of yourself. This renewed popularity increases success, for you have the tact and diplomacy to deal with people well. Attention is placed on personal appearance, with an interest in jewelry, hairstyling, and clothing. You are more bold in your love nature, yet not aggressive either. You make friends easily during this cycle, and you are especially fond of love and admiration. Artistic self-expression is important, possibly through music, clothing or writing.
Mars continues his journey through your solar eleventh until the 27, and you are likely to exert your energy and initiative into friendships, social life, and group activities. Friendship is of above-average importance during this cycle, but this is a sphere of life where you may experience some rocky periods since the aggressive, argumentative side of Mars, if left untamed, could cause upsets between yourself and your friends. This will be especially so when others challenge your reasons or motives for certain actions. Leadership qualities are present now. You prefer to lead a group rather than follow during this period, and there are certainly ways to do so without stepping on others' toes. As well, the best way to achieve your goals during this period is to work as a team, or to at least to do some networking. You may have more energy than usual to want to organize projects. Your humanitarian impulse may be stimulated. The role you play for other people in your life becomes the focus. You may feel that your schedule gets overloaded at this time with things to do (usually for others).
Mars energizes your privacy sector from the 27. This is the time to research and reflect upon your goals. It can be a time when past actions catch up with you--and this is not necessarily a bad thing! It could also be a time when much of your energy is channeled into private matters, or when you prefer that others not observe what you are doing. This is natural--you may just as well do your best work alone for now. Unconscious behavior patterns could influence the way you assert yourself. Some may experience insomnia during this phase, especially if they are not allowing themselves the chance to recoup and if they are not letting their intuition serve them. Others may enjoy a more active dreaming life (this includes day-dreaming), and, if allowed to run free, the imagination can serve them very well, especially with regards to goals and new concepts.
Highlights:
September 3-4 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it's time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won't work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it's best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.
September 4 A Full Moon occurs today in Pisces in your solar sixth house. Avoid blaming others for your own state of discontent. You can use this surge of emotional energy to make positive changes to your routines. Do something to improve your work conditions if they are annoying you--even if it's a small act of kindness with a co-worker or bringing in something to brighten up your desk or office. Get going on your exercise or nutrition program that you've been toying with in your mind. This may also be a time when a work project comes to fruition or completion.
September 6-8 Mercury is stationary retrograde now, and will remain retrograde until September 29th--a cycle during which rethinking matters is the name of the game. When Mercury is stationary, as it is now, it's especially important to prepare for possible breakdowns in communication. Back up your computer, double-check your paperwork, and remember that you may not have all the necessary information to make big decisions for the time being. Avoid signing contracts or deals, as they may not work out as you expected, or they might need revision later.
September 10-11 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you're noticed for what you've done or haven't done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don't be afraid to show others exactly what you're made of. You're at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.
September 16-17 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It's all about you now, so it's time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.
September 18 A New Moon in Virgo in your solar second house affects you until the next New Moon on October 18th. Heightened sensitivity to the world of the five senses, to your physical environment, and to the security you gain from the solid ground you have built for yourself is in order for this period of time. Attunement to, and appreciation of, the physical world of the senses is the focus, and this is a time to start fresh in terms of how you arrange your life in order to feel a sense of value and worthiness. Financial issues come into focus. Setting realistic financial goals, as well as formulating such things as budgets and other sensible financial planning projects, will be favored during this time. Discovering ways to increase your income is featured. It is also a wonderful time for taking moments to pleasure yourself through earthy, tactile, and comforting endeavors.
September 18-19 Monthly money and income peak. You're looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don't have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up now—the discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.
September 25-26 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.
September 28-30 Mercury stations and turns direct on September 29th. Holding off on important discussions, interviews, or contracts is probably wise right now, as thinking is foggy and misunderstandings are likely. As Mercury moves forward and regains speed over the next couple of weeks, we can more easily get new projects off the ground.
September 30-October 1 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it's time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won't work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it's best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

Leo (Born
August 13 to 22)
AND Leo Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Leo:
August 2009 Leo Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
|
August |
Overview.
Until the 12, the Sun continues to "hibernate" in your solar twelfth house. This is a time when you recharge your batteries, rest up, reflect, and perhaps close matters that have run their natural course. During this cycle, a sense of personal fulfillment is reinforced by resolving subconscious influences or matters from the past. You will instinctively withdraw from the hustle and bustle of daily life in an attempt to get to know yourself, your goals, and your needs better. This is an imaginative, perhaps dreamy, time of the year. Some may indulge in self-pity at this time, but as long as they pull strength from it, it might simply be a healthy process. You need time alone now in order to sort things out and to avoid overload!
The Sun illuminates your first house this month from the 12th, bringing issues surrounding your personal identity, appearance, outward behavior, and self-expression to the forefront. This marks the height of your physical solar cycle, and you are in the position to make an impression on others, and to assert your personal influence beyond its normal boundaries. Spontaneity of expression is what this transit is about. You are ready to put your past behind you and to start a new personal cycle. You have presence and you project confidence. Increased energy and a renewed feeling of confidence is with you now, so take advantage. It's a great month to do something entirely new and pioneering—to go solo in some area of your life. This particular season of the year smiles on your personal endeavors. This is a time when you more easily get in touch with a true sense of your identity and purpose. The most enterprising side of your nature pushes up and out, and it's time to seize opportunities. Problems in your life may be overcome by bravery, self-assertion, and directness. There's nothing wrong with a bit of self-centeredness during this cycle, but avoid taking it too far. It's not the best time for team work and other cooperative endeavors. The spotlight is on you and your ability to lead, so make it a good one! Take steps to improve how you come across to others. It's time to carve your own path in life.
The spotlight is on you, your needs, and how you present yourself to others in August, dear Leo. Your mind is focused on security, finances, and practical matters. Matters of the heart touch you deeply, and could involve some personal sacrifices. The 1-8 might feel chaotic, as relationship epiphanies, challenges, and tests occur. It’s an emotional time, but also a period that leads to important discoveries. A surge of personal magnetism and charm heads your way in the last week of the month, when your ideas and conversational skills are in demand.Last month, two eclipses occurred, and this month, there is one more. (Usually eclipses occur in sets of two, but this time around we have three). A Lunar Eclipse occurs on the 5th at approximately 14 degrees Aquarius. The effects of eclipses stay with us for as long as six months, and they reveal main areas of focus for this half-year period. A general rule of thumb regarding eclipses is to avoid major decision-making in the week before an eclipse. This is because new information that could change our perspective often is revealed in the week after the eclipse. Therefore, major decision-making is best avoided from July 30th-August 6th.
The Lunar Eclipse on the 5th stimulates your solar seventh house. Surprises surrounding partnerships and relationships may be in store. Something that has been "in hiding" or brewing under the surface of things comes to light, or there is a significant fruition or culmination. This could manifest as, for example, a surprising revelation from a partner, a circumstance that calls for you to support a significant other, a flurry of activity prompted by a partner's needs or demands for your services from the general public, and other such possibilities. You now have a natural flair for sensing the needs and desires of the general public. You are likely to draw highly emotional and sensitive individuals into your social circle. Partnership "tests" are possible now, but so is a chance to truly connect to a special someone in your life.
Venus journeys through your solar eleventh house until the 18, where she enlivens your friendships and group associations with charm and grace. You are likely to enjoy a strong feeling of happiness and solidarity in friendship, or with groups of like-minded individuals. You are more peace-loving than usual and slightly detached on a personal level. If a romance were to occur during this time frame, it would be characterized by a strong feeling of camaraderie, but it could also be rather impersonal and perhaps lacking in depth and intimacy.
Venus journeys through your solar twelfth house from the 18, which means the goddess of love is spending some time in "hibernation" in your privacy sector. Now, this doesn't necessarily mean that your love life is stagnant, but that your affection is expressed behind closed doors. Attraction to secrets and whispers characterize this period, although for some, it can also be a time of endings, relationship concerns, and wistfulness. Personal and social contacts may be secretive, and there can be secret love affairs, or at least very private love feelings and longings. Shyness can lead to some loneliness or romantic frustration. However, this can also be a deliciously private and intimate time.
Mercury continues to work its way through your first house until the 16. This is a cycle in which you tend to talk more readily, particularly about your own personal likes and dislikes or your personal past. Your demeanor is light-hearted and curious, and others might turn to you for advice, as you appear to be more rational than usual. This is the time of year when you can most easily use the power of words to attract what you want for yourself.
Mercury transits your solar second house from the 16. This is a strong period for analyzing your cash flow, income, and earning power. You are more practical and rational in your approach to finances now. With your conscious mind focused on money and possessions, as well as personal values, this can be a strong period for gathering new money-making ideas. Alternatively, it could be a time when you tend to fret over your finances. Conversations tend to be practical rather than frivolous now. Financial gain may come through communications.
Mars continues to energize your solar tenth house until the 10, bringing
dynamic energy to all career, professional, and public matters. You could
find that your talents or services are especially in demand now. Courage,
ambition, energy, enterprise, force, emotional involvement, business acumen,
and a strong perhaps even compulsive drive for success can lead to
professional recognition. You always like to see practical results for your
efforts and take pride in doing a job correctly, and this is a good cycle in
which to show your leadership skills. Don't, however, let your enterprising
nature get interpreted as aggressiveness or insensitivity.
Mars energizes your solar eleventh house from the 10.
Group activities and cooperative efforts are the best way to achieve your
goals right now. In fact, you have all sorts of ideas about what you want to do.
Avoid allowing the ego to attempt to dominate others. You prefer to lead a group
rather than follow during this period, and there are certainly ways to do so
without stepping on others' toes. As well, the best way to achieve your goals
during this period is to work as a team, or to at least to do some networking.
You may have more energy than usual to want to organize projects. Your
humanitarian impulse may be stimulated. The role you play for other people in
your life becomes the focus. You may feel that your schedule gets overloaded at
this time with things to do (usually for others).
Highlights:
August 1-2 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.
August 5 A Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurs today in Aquarius in your solar seventh house. The New Moon was all about you. Now it's time to strike a balance with an "other". The seventh house represents an important one-to-one relationship--a marriage partner, significant other, business partner, or an adversary. It's time to strike a balance between your own needs and those of another. It's time to compromise and negotiate. Partnership "tests" are possible now, but so is a chance to truly connect to a special someone in your life.
August 6-7 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it's time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won't work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it's best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.
August 13-14 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you're noticed for what you've done or haven't done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don't be afraid to show others exactly what you're made of. You're at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.
August 20 A New Moon in Leo in your solar first house affects you until the next New Moon on September 18th. This New Moon placement is a powerful one—it's a time to reinvent yourself in some personal way, such as with a new look or manner of expressing and presenting yourself. This is a personally busy time of year, when you feel energetic and enthusiastic. Think about how you present yourself to others, focus on changing personal habits in such a way as to improve your confidence in yourself, and concentrate on putting your best foot forward, as this is a time when you will get noticed and make a personal impression on others. However, factor in the importance of authenticity in your presentation of yourself. You do not have to, of course, reveal all of yourself to others, but the sign of Aries associated with the first house reminds us of the importance of acting on our impulses and believing in ourselves. This is a time when you can be brave and enjoy new experiences.
August 20-21 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It's all about you now, so it's time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.
August 22-23 Monthly money and income peak. You're looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don't have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up now—the discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.
August 25-27 Venus, Mercury, and Mars are changing signs, Venus is highlighting the recent Solar Eclipse degree and joining with the South Node of the Moon, Mercury squares Pluto, and Mars opposes Pluto. These influences all occurring at once can point to troubles from the past resurfacing, as well as faulty, hasty, or haughty decision making for all signs. Keep a cool head if you can.
August 29-30 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.
