2008 Horoscope Leo

Leo (Born July 23 to August 2) – 0 to 10 degrees Leo: 

2008: Leo Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

2008 Overview. 2008 is certainly an easier year for you than was the case in the second half of 2006 and throughout much of 2007, dear Leo. This year, you find more joy in your daily routines. Although work can be rather hectic at times, you tend to enjoy taking care of all the details. A move towards working out of the home is likely for many of you. If you have been trying to land a dream job, this is more likely to occur now. Romance could be on the serious or practical side in 2008. Avoid over-analyzing your relationships, or treating them more like businesses. Turning a hobby or favorite pastime into a job could also figure. Partnership ups and downs continue to be a theme, as you struggle with matters of freedom and dependency. Sexual experimentation and liberation is also a theme in 2008. Finances are a serious matter for you this year, and you could take pleasure in building your resources and analyzing your cash flow. There is a fine line between financial discipline and worrying excessively about financial details, however. 

2008 Details. Jupiter is  moving through your solar sixth house this year. As a result, you are likely to see benefits and improvements in the areas of work and health, as well as daily routines. Your ability to handle the details required to do a good job is significantly enhanced this year, and others increasingly become more aware of your skills. Benefits may come through co-workers or employees during this cycle. Any type of service that you may provide is likely to go well. You are more successful in hiring people to work for you, if applicable, and improvements to your working environment are likely. You find more enjoyment in the work you do, and it is easier than usual to find employment now. You may get a new job during this cycle. Others will derive more enjoyment from a current one. Work tends to be very available to you. Health is likely to prosper this year, and medical procedures or programs, if necessary, are more apt to be successful. There may be an inclination to put on some weight, however, if you don’t watch your sweet tooth. Some people get a new pet during this cycle. These positive circumstances won’t necessarily fall into your lap, and are unlikely to come all at once. You need to keep your eyes open for opportunities in these areas of life.

The most favorable periods for these matters occur while Jupiter is in direct motion in your solar sixth, from January through the first week of May, and then from the second week of September through December. The very best times occur when direct Jupiter trines Saturn in  January, September and November.

Because Jupiter rules your sector of romance, creative activities, entertainment, and children, its position in Capricorn suggests some seriousness in all of these matters. More structure is brought to any existing romance, but you should be careful not to over-analyze your relationships with a lover. Children may require more discipline or attention. A hobby could be turned into your work. You may also bring more creativity into the work you do in 2008. For some of you, a fair chunk of your social life could take place in and around the work environment.

Saturn continues to transit your solar second house all year, urging you to take stock of your effectiveness, self-worth, and finances. This stage of your life may be marked by hard work. Financial success may not be remarkable, yet it is generally steady, if slow to come by. This transit has traditionally been associated with financial loss, but in truth, it is more about our perceptions—you are apt to review how effective you have been on a financial level to date, and find some dissatisfaction with your progress. In fact, gains may be slow, but sudden reversals are not common with this transit. The purpose of this transit is for you to make the connection between your own feelings of self-worth and what you produce in the real world/get back from the real world. In recent years, you may have had some feelings of being unsupported (you may have been thinking, “I work so hard, and what do I get for all this hard work?”), but as the transit moves forward this year, you learn to look inside of yourself with a newfound clarity and realism and ideally draw up considerable strength from within. You work on your effectiveness in the world, and see exactly what has been holding you back from achieving the results you want. The challenge here is to capture the newly found and defined self-confidence you gained while Saturn was in Leo, and now apply it in the real world. 

New opportunities to explore your sexual nature, as well as how you handle power issues in personal relationships, are likely this year. There may also be times when you feel at the mercy of your unconscious desires and impulses. Some of you may be experimenting sexually.

A positive connection between your sixth and second houses this year suggests that practical matters are a large focus and are very strong. More security in your job is likely. You are more willing than usual to work diligently for money, and your natural talents are likely to be utilized more in the work you do, and appreciated by others. The work you do could be supported by your spouse’s money or other people’s money in general. Or, your work may simply be related to others’ talents and resources in 2008.

Eclipses this year mainly fall in your first and seventh houses, impacting the way you present yourself, the manner in which you go after your personal goals, and your close partnerships. Major changes are in store in these areas. Issues of personal courage, confidence, and independence are emerging. You may, for example, receive a cosmic push towards expressing yourself more effectively, and experience an increased drive to take charge of your life. Issues surrounding personal appearance, the body, and your image become especially important and, in some cases, critical. Basically, you will be learning to stand on your own two feet! This sequence of eclipses will alert you to the need to interact with others–either the public, or through a close partnership. For some, marriage or divorce will be an issue. For most, carving out a personal identity that includes a significant other who furthers their own personal growth will come into focus. The movement is towards a stronger identity or sense of purposefulness through close partnership.

Some key periods in 2008 for you: From May 9-28, you have tremendous energy at your disposal. Life picks up pace considerably, and you feel like you can move mountains…and you probably can! This is the time to go after what you want. The best times for magnetizing what (and who) you want into your life are January 1-7, July 12-20, and October 18-27. Romance heats up from November 16-30. Your strongest financial periods in 2008 occur from August 6-14 and August 22-September 2. Energy for making money is strongest July 1-18.

One of the most interesting things about your year concerns what is not with you. Neptune has left its opposition to your Sun, and you are thinking more clearly. A feeling of directedness takes hold in 2008. As well, your relationships become considerably less elusive or hard to define.

Uranus continues to shake up your eighth house. There could be some ambiguities or unexpected happenings surrounding money that is part of your life but that doesn’t come from your own income. This includes such things as shared resources with a close partner, alimony, taxes, loans, and so forth. At times, this could throw you off balance. This position could also indicate a period of uncertainty surrounding your intimate relationships, and/or some experimentation with your sexuality.

2008 Details. Jupiter is  moving through your solar sixth house from March forward. As a result, you are likely to see benefits and improvements in the areas of work and health, as well as daily routines.

These positive circumstances won’t necessarily fall into your lap, and are unlikely to come all at once. You need to keep your eyes open for opportunities in these areas of life.

The most favorable periods for these matters occur while Jupiter is in direct motion in your solar sixth, from the last week of March through the first week of May, and then from the second week of September through December. The very best times occur when direct Jupiter trines Saturn in September and November.

Saturn continues to transit your first house until November. Your physical body and mannerisms are a focus during this transit. Depending on your current age, it may be a time when you feel your age, or it is a time when you see your body more clearly. This is an excellent time for beginning health regimens, diets, and the like, simply because it is a time when you look in the mirror and see yourself clearly—not only what you want to see. Your outlook on life has been a little more serious and responsible. In the past while, you might have reached out to others in an attempt to validate yourself, looking for ways to boost your confidence. When these attempts failed, you may have felt temporarily let down and discouraged. Rest assured that Saturn will re-work these feelings, with your help of course, until you reach a point where you have a stronger sense of self. This is a year in which you can get to that point. This transit acts to transform your self-confidence in such a way that you question the source of your confidence to date, and discover a more solid base for pulling up inner strength. Saturn here acts to rip away the superficial. Illusions about the self, the body, and personal abilities will no longer be tolerated. The end result is a newfound identity and a realistic understanding of your own limitations, and your capabilities as well. In terms of career and projects, outward signs of progress may not be as forthcoming, yet the work that you do during this transit will lay a foundation for future success and progress!

You work on your effectiveness in the world, and see exactly what has been holding you back from achieving the results you want. The challenge here is to capture the newly found and defined self-confidence you gained while Saturn was in Leo, and now apply it in the real world.

For Leos born August 13-15 and those with a Leo Ascendant of 20-22 degrees, Uranus begins to shake up your eighth house this year. There could be some ambiguities or unexpected happenings surrounding money that is part of your life but that doesn’t come from your own income. This includes such things as shared resources with a close partner, alimony, taxes, loans, and so forth. At times, this could throw you off balance. This position could also indicate a period of uncertainty surrounding your intimate relationships, and/or some experimentation with your sexuality.

For Leos born August 13-17 and those with a Leo Ascendant from 20-24 degrees, Neptune opposes your Sun this year. It can be hard to pin down a partner to a solid commitment. Or, you may begin to attract Neptunian people into your life–at best, they can be compassionate, artistic, or spiritual types. At the other end of the spectrum, they can be elusive, evasive, or downright deceptive. You could struggle somewhat with your own expectations in partnerships. Self-deception may very well be in play, and when others don’t quite measure up to their expectations, disappointments occur. Do your best to see people for who they are rather than what you’d really like them to be.

A positive connection between your sixth and second houses this year suggests that practical matters are a large focus and are very strong. More security in your job is likely. You are more willing than usual to work diligently for money, and your natural talents are likely to be utilized more in the work you do, and appreciated by others.
