2019: Leo Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

 

Key Events in 2019 for Leo:

Outer Planet Transits:

Jupiter square Neptune from January to September. We are looking for a new source of inspiration, but we have the tendency to latch onto impractical dreams or plans to remedy the situation. For you, Leo, uncertainties with money, support, or in your intimate life can seem to interfere with your pursuit of pleasure, romance, or leisure at times during this period. It’s important to avoid neglecting or glossing over problem areas with any of these things.

Helping you out with this, however, is:

Saturn sextile Neptune from January to November. This reinforcing aspect assists in grounding you. It can be a fabulous help, even if it’s a rather subtle influence. This transit reminds you to balance spiritual and material pursuits. While there continue to be important life lessons, restrictions, and hard work related to your job, chores, duties, and health, you’re finding outlets or a better sense of balance this year. Separating work and downtime can be key to this. Financial or intimate matters may not clarify this year, but this doesn’t compromise your work ethic or subtract from your efforts.

Also this year:

Saturn conjunct South Node (April to September) and Pluto conjunct South Node (April). Difficulties are possible related to attempts to hang on to routines or old habits which can be preventing you from growing, improving, and getting the rest, spiritual sustenance, or emotional healing you need. You may be sticking with the familiar only for fear of change, and this is a tendency you should watch.

Uranus trine Jupiter in December. This happens near the end of the year in Earth signs. In your solar chart, we find Earth signs in your work and practical sectors, and this boost comes to your work, professional life, habits, health, and daily routines. It’s about innovation, progress, new technology, methods, or approaches, and it’s a positive development!

This can be a time of invigoration and a strong feeling of moving forward. You might gain recognition for or otherwise benefit from your nontraditional ideas. Your progressive, innovative perspective can attract positive things your way and can move you closer to your goals. It’s an excellent time for thinking in terms of technological upgrades, improved methods, and innovative approaches. Practical matters, business, and recognition for hard work can figure strongly now. You may be more employable for your natural talents and skills. You could experience a release or liberation from tired old routines or confining circumstances, and possibly even health restrictions, or you’re more mobile and active now, which opens up new possibilities.

Significant minor transits:

Venus conjunct Jupiter — twice! On January 22 and November 24th…and this happens in your sector of romance, creativity, and joyful pursuits, making this a special time for dating, loving, sharing, creating, and enjoying yourself. Your powers of attraction are through the roof now.

Mars conjunct Uranus in late Aries on February 12-13. This occurs shortly before Uranus leaves your spirit sector for good, making it a powerful period for last-minute changes to an educational path, belief system, and mental focus or attitude.

Sun conjunct Uranus in early Taurus on April 22 and Venus conjunct Uranus in Taurus on May 18. Now that Uranus is consistently in your career and reputation sector, these transits can get the ball rolling with change and progress in your professional or public life.

Sun conjunct Jupiter in Capricorn on December 25-27th. An opportunity period for work, health, habits, service, and daily routines. Ambition and joy combine now and in the coming months.

New and Full Moons/Eclipses:

Please note that these key dates are synopses — quick summaries of astro-events — that are covered more in-depth in the monthly horoscopes and daily horoscopes.

Because outer planet transits are lengthy, there are variations in the timing of outer planet transits for each of the three decans of Leo, and these are shown below the main, general forecast.

There are some exciting trends with you in 2019, dear Leo. Every year, we see challenges and opportunities in different areas. It’s my hope that understanding these areas of potential disruption and ease that you can make the most of these trends by seeking out the opportunities and managing the challenges.

Leos are spontaneous but loyal, and they are proud of who they are and what they do. They have big hearts and so much to give, and they go for the gold! This year, you have Chiron and Jupiter in harmony with your sign, boosting your self-honesty and enthusiasm.

The following chart shows the outer planets and other points in relation to your sign, revealing whether they are harmonizing with or challenging Leo:

Grey is neutral (no direct relationship, but can be picky, nagging),

Pink is challenging (the planet is in direct, challenging relationship to your sign),

and Green is easy and supportive (the planet or point is in direct, harmonious relationship with your sign).

As is evident in the above chart, there is very little in the way of outer planet challenges this year for Leo, and a mix of neutral and harmonious energy for the most part.

 

 

Overview: Harmony and Challenge of Outer Planets:

You have wonderful support from Jupiter and Chiron most of this year, Leo. Both planets are in fellow Fire signs.

Leo is a spontaneous Fire sign, but is also of a Fixed nature. The Saturn-Neptune sextile is not as in tune with your natural energies as it is for many other signs, but it benefits you nevertheless, particularly as you may have been a little hard on yourself with health and work pursuits in recent years, and now you’re finding a better balance between hard work and gaining inspiration.

Areas of change and occasional disruption tend to be your career, work, and reputation in 2019.

This is a powerful year for creating, loving, playing, and sharing. Go big in these areas, but know your limits!

 

**The following horoscopes reveal the outer planet, long-term trends for each decan. While Jupiter transits last just over a year, the remaining outer planet transits last several years (an average of 2-1/2 years for Saturn, 7 years for Uranus, and so forth). This is why you can see some of the same trends continuing from previous years. Note also that while the degrees of decans are precise, the dates are necessarily approximate since they vary slightly from birth year to birth year.

2019: Leo Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

 

Until December 2nd, Jupiter continues to move through your solar fifth house, and you are likely to see benefits, and experience growth, in the areas of romance, pleasure, creative expression, hobbies, entertainment, and children. Your fair share of fun, romance, and good times are in store. Your willingness to enjoy yourself and explore your creativity now brings new opportunities, or you might find that avenues open up to you for exploring new ways of having fun. For example, you might meet a new friend who spurs you to go out more, or you could be inspired by someone else's creative projects and begin a new and rewarding hobby. Creative projects are likely to fare well during this cycle, and could possibly even bring some type of recognition or reward. Love and romance may come into your life or an existing romance is enhanced with good humor and warmth. You might find that possibilities for casual love relationships open up to you now, and some of you could be overwhelmed with choices! Social engagements abound. For those of you who are single, meeting a special person is highly likely, although it's more likely to be a casual relationship than a committed partnership. Investments in stocks and other speculative matters could earn profits. Healthy, wise risks are likely to pay off, but be careful of overconfidence in speculative investments. Relationships with your children may be especially fulfilling now. Pregnancy or childbirth may occur during this period, if applicable. This is a fabulous period in which to take a vacation you've always wanted to take, to try out a new hobby or creative project/approach, to explore new ways of having fun, to enjoy single life, and so forth. Those with artistic or athletic talent can be especially successful and prosperous at this time. Your creativity and social life are stimulated this year, and plenty of opportunities to express yourself uniquely and creatively are likely to present themselves. You may find great joy and reward in your creative projects and hobbies. Pleasure-seeking activities, recreation, and amusement are increased. You are far less inhibited when it comes to expressing yourself creatively, and you are a lot more fun to be around! 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. Sometimes Jupiter brings too much of a good thing, and it's always wise to enjoy a carefree (not careless) attitude. You are learning to express yourself playfully and creatively without apology, and more willing to take some personal risks in order to do so. A potential negative of this transit is excessive emphasis on, or attention to, having fun to the detriment of other life departments. However, this is typically one of those periods that one looks back upon fondly.

The most favorable periods for these matters occur while Jupiter is in direct motion in your solar fifth house from January 1-April 10, and from August 11-December 2.

Jupiter transits trine your Sun. This is a feel-good transit that offers you opportunities to rise above petty concerns and to achieve a more balanced approach to your life. Relationships with others tend to be easygoing, friendly, and positive. It's natural for you to cooperate with others, and others find it easy to cooperate with you! This is a time when you genuinely enjoy life, appreciating the good things, and rarely harping on the more inconvenient or annoying elements of life.

From December 2nd forward, Jupiter, the planet of growth and expansion, is transiting your solar sixth house. During this cycle, you are likely to see benefits in the areas of work and health, as well as daily routines. This transit enhances your ability to handle the details required to do a good job, and others become more aware of your skills. Benefits may come through work itself, co-workers, or employees during this cycle. Any type of service that you may provide is likely to go well now, mainly because you are finding more joy in being of service. You are more successful in hiring good workers, 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. Work tends to be very available to you—perhaps even too available in that you don't know which one to choose. The best way to handle this transit is to take pride in and recognize your usefulness—this is bound to give you a great deal of joy, and you are likely to be rewarded as a result. As well, the more integrity, directness, and honesty you bring to your services and work, the more "payback" you will receive. Health is likely to prosper now, 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 appetite and/or choice of food. Some people get a new pet during this cycle, and this brings them much joy. 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. Sometimes Jupiter brings too much of something, and this could mean taking on more work than you can handle, getting lost in the details and organization necessary to keep your daily life running smoothly, and so forth. Watch that overconfidence doesn't lead you to overload your plate. You are bringing fresh and original ideas to the work you do and the services you offer.

Saturn transits your solar sixth house until 2020. It’s typically felt most strongly in the first year of its influence – for you, that was last year!

Saturn's influence here affects your job, daily routines, self-care efforts, and health. You may be taking on more responsibilities on the job or in another service-oriented capacity. For some of you, your job may have become rather tedious or downright boring, or working conditions may be poor, demanding, or frustrating -- at least, this is your perception of things -- and now you're taking steps to make improvements. For others, worries about your job could figure strongly. For many, duty often comes before pleasure during this period, and a tendency to work more or harder is likely. As long as this doesn't reach workaholic levels, you'll be just fine. In fact, it can be easier than usual to be sensible about your diet, health, hygiene, and fitness needs. Be aware of the need to know when enough is enough, however.

With Saturn turning a critical eye to work, daily functions, habits, and health, you are likely to feel some pressure to perform. You find yourself more accountable than ever when it comes to your work and output. Some of the questions that this cycle calls up include: How can you make the best use of your time? How can you manage your day-to-day life, and your body, better? You become more and more aware of all of the "fluff" that surrounds your daily routines and your work, and spring cleaning becomes necessary. This is an excellent period for starting new regimens to better your health and well-being, such as regular exercise, more structured and productive use of your time, and so forth. By the time this transit ends, you'll be considerably more productive, healthy, and focused. This is also an excellent time for simplifying and structuring your life in small but key ways.

Responsibilities in your daily life can weigh heavily at times - they appear magnified. While the work we do may sometimes feel too routine or boring, it can also give us a strong feeling of purpose. We want to be needed, we want to help and support others, and to do our share. If you've been overdoing a supportive role or if you've been scattering your energies and haven't truly noted just how much you do, then Saturn here will stimulate you to tidy up. In the end, you can, in fact, feel more joyful about the services you provide and the support you give, after taking a realistic look at these things and making the necessary adjustments.

Uranus continues to transit your solar ninth house until March 6th. 

Connections with a broader set of people and experiences can be the catalysts for a changing, more open-minded personal philosophy. Your interest in learning, exploring, and branching out is renewed and fresh. Listening to your gut will serve you well, as long as you're not listening to that part of you that fears change. Fortunately, it's easier to make necessary changes in your life without making too many waves now. You are drawn to new experiences and ideas, and they contribute much to your growth. You have a twinkle in your eye this year! Your own originality and uniqueness are bound to come shining through. You are a little more outspoken, daring, and progressive than usual now.

Events that occur this year tend to show you a different side of yourself and could attract new people into your life. Any new friends or connections made are likely to be entirely different than those you have had in the past. If you want to rid yourself of some unhealthy habits or past conditioning that has been undermining your confidence, this is the year to do it. Some of the people around you might be surprised at your newly found independence, but most will enjoy it.

Pleasant surprises pepper your year ahead. You're open to a certain amount of change and progress this year, and thus attract interesting and sometimes unusual events into your life. A few doors open to you as you express yourself more spontaneously during this period of your life -- this is a long-term transit.

New intellectual interests are likely this year. Unexpected or unusual experiences tend to enhance your understanding, and a new perspective on your life is in store. An unexpected opportunity for travel may present itself, or new opportunities to further your education could arise seemingly out of the blue. If you do get a chance to travel, which could come up quite suddenly, unusual and eye-opening experiences may be in store for you. There can be conventions, seminars, clubs, group travel, or long-distance learning figuring strongly during this transit. The people that you meet this year tend to stir you up and stimulate new ways of thinking. You are less inclined towards a personal philosophy that is traditional now, and you're attracted to more avant-garde or progressive belief systems.

The more acute elements of this transit have already been experienced before 2019 for your decan of Leo.

Uranus transits your solar tenth house after March 6th (or next year if you’re born later in the decan).

Your career direction changes and your relationships with authority figures can be animated and dynamic during this long-term cycle. Do your best to avoid impulsive decision-making that is built solely upon your desire to be a free spirit. However, it's also important to make changes that accommodate your new independent outlook - my advice is to do it but avoid going overboard on this. You may recognize talents that you never knew you had, and this can be a sudden, exciting discovery!

Your career, professional projects, reputation, and public image appear to speed up, stimulate, and open up this year. These areas of life can be unpredictable - the wild card area of your life - but also highly stimulating and innovative. You can bring fresh insight into your work. You can also learn to let go of limiting self-consciousness. As long as you don't push it too far, you can free yourself from some of the fears you have of not living up to others' expectations, particularly those of parents or society in general.

This may be a time when you take an unexpected turn in your work. Make sure you don't jump on a bandwagon that is impractical. Also, while you prefer to set your own pace in your work, try not to become a loner in your professional life. Others can have important input.

Your goals and objectives can take a real curve now. You seek to carve out your own path in your profession, and there can be interesting changes, rearrangements, or new directions.

Neptune continues its lengthy transit through your solar eighth house this year.

Neptune here can cast some fog over your debts to others or your intimate life. You may encounter some challenges regarding shared finances or property. A loan or other form of support may come through unexpectedly, even in a mysterious fashion. Intimate relationships can be highly colorful, perhaps with spiritual undercurrents, but possibly a little confusing at times during this long-term transit. Sometimes it's about shared assets or support. The boundaries that are normally drawn between what's yours/what's mine may be blurred somewhat at this time. A partner might have unsettled finances, and this could impact your own finances, for example. Do be wary of anything that even slightly resembles fraud. Lending others money may be a lesson in frustration during this cycle. Otherwise, this is a time for learning much about dependencies, addictions, dreams, inner motivations, and power dynamics.

The acute elements of this influence are behind you.

Pluto continues its lengthy transit of your solar sixth house this year.

This transit brings gradual but profound changes to your daily routines and habits. You should certainly watch for straining yourself by working too hard when Pluto itself is strained or under pressure. During the course of this very long-term transit, you are learning about new ways of approaching health matters, particularly by uncovering root or core issues. Your work and habits are also evolving in important ways. This is a good period for ridding yourself of bad habits or routines, but be careful that you don't replace one bad habit with another!

Expectations transform this year. Intensity and passion are craved now, and mediocre will no longer do it for you with your work, health, and habits.

All year, 

the North Node transits your solar twelfth house, and this suggests that some of the greatest joys - and challenges - come through learning about your inner world. Your attention turns to spirituality, downtime, and faith. Your path is to attempt to let go of unnecessary worry and guilt and to trust in a larger more spiritual plan.

Leo (Born August 3 to 12) – 10 to 20 degrees Leo (2ND DECAN):

2019: Leo Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

 

All year, Jupiter, the planet of growth and expansion, is transiting your solar fifth house. During this cycle, you are likely to see benefits and experience growth in the areas of romance, pleasure, creative expression, hobbies, entertainment, and children. Your fair share of fun, romance, and good times are in store. Your willingness to enjoy yourself and explore your creativity now brings new opportunities, or you might find that avenues open up to you for exploring new ways of having fun. For example, you might meet a new friend who spurs you to go out more, or you could be inspired by someone else's creative projects and begin a new and rewarding hobby. Creative projects are likely to fare well during this cycle, and could possibly even bring some type of recognition or reward.

A potential negative of this transit is excessive emphasis on, or attention to, having fun to the detriment of other life departments. However, for the most part, you are likely to feel supported and confident during this approximately year-long cycle. This is a time for trying new things, beginning new ventures, and sticking your neck out. Creativity finds a successful channel or outlet.

The most favorable periods for these matters occur while Jupiter is in direct motion in your solar fifth house, from January 1-April 10, and from August 11th forward.

Jupiter transits trine your Sun. This is a feel-good transit that offers you opportunities to rise above petty concerns and to achieve a more balanced approach to your life.

Saturn transits your solar sixth house (until 2020). It’s typically felt most strongly in the first year of its influence – for your decan, that’s this year! This transit is relatively new to most of you, making its themes a little more intense in 2019, after which you take it increasingly in stride as you get more comfortable with this energy.

Saturn's influence here affects your job, daily routines, self-care efforts, and health. You may be taking on more responsibilities on the job or in another service-oriented capacity. For some of you, your job may have become rather tedious or downright boring, or working conditions may be poor, demanding, or frustrating -- at least, this is your perception of things -- and now you're taking steps to make improvements.

Neptune begins or continues its lengthy transit through your solar eighth house for most of you.

Leo (Born August 13 to 22) – 20 to 30 degrees Leo (3rd DECAN):

 

2019: Leo Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

 

From February 15-June 6 and then from October 12th forward, Jupiter, the planet of growth and expansion, is transiting your solar fifth house. During this cycle, you are likely to see benefits and experience growth in the areas of romance, pleasure, creative expression, hobbies, entertainment, and children. Your fair share of fun, romance, and good times are in store. Your willingness to enjoy yourself and explore your creativity now brings new opportunities, or you might find that avenues open up to you for exploring new ways of having fun.

You may find great joy and reward in your creative projects and hobbies. Pleasure-seeking activities, recreation, and amusement are increased. You are far less inhibited when it comes to expressing yourself creatively, and you are a lot more fun to be around! 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. Sometimes Jupiter brings too much of a good thing, and it's always wise to enjoy a carefree (not careless) attitude. You are learning to express yourself playfully and creatively without apology, and more willing to take some personal risks in order to do so. A potential negative of this transit is excessive emphasis on, or attention to, having fun to the detriment of other life departments. However, for the most part, you are likely to feel supported and confident during this approximately year-long cycle. This is a time for trying new things, beginning new ventures, and sticking your neck out. Creativity finds a successful channel or outlet.

The most favorable periods for these matters occur while Jupiter is in direct motion in your solar fifth house, from February 15-April 11, and from October 12-forward.

Jupiter transits trine your Sun. This is a feel-good transit that offers you opportunities to rise above petty concerns and to achieve a more balanced approach to your life. Relationships with others tend to be easygoing, friendly, and positive. It's natural for you to cooperate with others, and others find it easy to cooperate with you! This is a time when you genuinely enjoy life, appreciating the good things, and rarely harping on the more inconvenient or annoying elements of life.

Saturn transits your solar fifth house this year until December. This transit will run until at least the end of 2019 for your decan.

Saturn's influence is rather somber and serious, but also responsible and practical. You are getting serious about fifth house matters: romance, relationships with children, your creativity, and pleasure. Serious about pleasure? Yes, indeed! While you may not spend a whole lot of time living it up at parties, bars, or entertainment venues, you are likely to take your hobbies more seriously. In fact, this is an excellent period for monetizing any personal hobby - turning it into a business, even if it's a sideline one. Bringing more structure to your play time or to a creative talent can also figure strongly now.

If you have children, they may need more discipline or structure than they previously did at this stage. Some of you may be welcoming children into your life and discovering all of the responsibilities that come along with it. Others who already have children may find that they're at an age that requires more attention and discipline, or structure.

In the romance department, Saturn's influence can go either way. For some, romance may feel lacking or a romantic relationship could be more practical than fun. Tests or pressures on an existing romance could figure now. Casual relationships and dating may be nonexistent, or lean. For those of you who have recently entered a romance, you are beginning to look at it more seriously and critically. For others, a romantic relationship stabilizes and becomes more serious. Some of you will meet a new romantic interest who is perhaps older or mature, thus "meeting Saturn" through a person.

Those of you who are dating might feel some loneliness, as it can be hard to find what you are looking for at this time. An existing romance may be tested but strong ones strengthen further. A romantic partner could feel like a "heavy" at this time, or you might feel restricted in terms of making acquaintances and enjoying other people's company. In other words, there is somewhat heavy energy surrounding fifth house matters. For those single and looking, be careful that you don't project a negative attitude without even realizing it, as this can intimidate some.

Creatively speaking, you are a little more serious in your approach. You might be turning a hobby into a business now, or you might find that there is less time for creative hobbies, pastimes, amusements, and entertainment. Your work can require more show, drama, creativity, and entertainment value, and may be a hobby-turned-business. Romance and work can be tied together in some significant way. Some of you could be working hard on, and putting a lot of effort into, creative hobbies or pastimes.

The acute elements of this transit have already passed for your Leo group –  you are finishing and tidying things up in these areas of your life. This is a period for resolving these issues.

Note: Saturn is in Capricorn which relates to your solar sixth house. However, since you were born later in the sign of Leo and because Saturn moves relatively slowly through the zodiac, it will only reach your degree at the end of the year or beyond.

Uranus continues its lengthy transit of your solar ninth house.

Connections with a broader set of people and experiences can be the catalysts for a changing, more open-minded personal philosophy. Your interest in learning, exploring, and branching out is renewed and fresh. Listening to your gut will serve you well, as long as you're not listening to that part of you that fears change. Fortunately, it's easier to make necessary changes in your life without making too many waves now. You are drawn to new experiences and ideas, and they contribute much to your growth. You have a twinkle in your eye this year! Your own originality and uniqueness are bound to come shining through. You are a little more outspoken, daring, and progressive than usual now.

Events that occur this year tend to show you a different side of yourself and could attract new people into your life. Any new friends or connections made are likely to be entirely different than those you have had in the past. If you want to rid yourself of some unhealthy habits or past conditioning that has been undermining your confidence, this is the year to do it. Some of the people around you might be surprised at your newly found independence, but most will enjoy it.

Pleasant surprises pepper your year ahead. You're open to a certain amount of change and progress this year, and thus attract interesting and sometimes unusual events into your life. A few doors open to you as you express yourself more spontaneously during this period of your life -- this is a long-term transit.

New intellectual interests are likely this year. Unexpected or unusual experiences tend to enhance your understanding, and a new perspective on your life is in store. An unexpected opportunity for travel may present itself, or new opportunities to further your education could arise seemingly out of the blue. If you do get a chance to travel, which could come up quite suddenly, unusual and eye-opening experiences may be in store for you. There can be conventions, seminars, clubs, group travel, or long-distance learning figuring strongly during this transit. The people that you meet this year tend to stir you up and stimulate new ways of thinking. You are less inclined towards a personal philosophy that is traditional now, and you're attracted to more avant-garde or progressive belief systems.

Neptune continues its lengthy transit through your solar seventh house this year, as it has been doing for a number of years.

Neptune's long-term transit here tends to cast some "fog" over your partnerships. You may be meeting evasiveness in a partner or potential mates. A more accepting or spiritual approach to partnerships is what you are moving towards, but there can be a bit of confusion and possibly disillusionment in the process for some. It can be hard to pin down a partner to a solid commitment. Or, you may begin to attract Neptunian people into your life--compassionate, artistic, or spiritual types. At the other end of the spectrum, they can be elusive, evasive, or downright deceptive. Another manifestation of this aspect involves struggling somewhat with your own expectations in partnerships. Self-deception may very well be in play, and when others don't quite measure up to these expectations, disappointments occur. Do your best to see people for who they are rather than what you'd really like them to be. Your own goals could be confusing, and your energy levels could swing quite dramatically at times, perhaps reflecting this inner confusion. A more spiritual approach to your life is in order, and this Neptune transit calls upon you to detach yourself from some of your more worldly and materialistic goals.

Note: Neptune continues to transit Pisces, but it travels through the 14 to 19-degree range. Neptune will not reach the beginning of your decan and your solar eighth house until 2020 or later.

Pluto begins its lengthy transit of your solar sixth house this year for those born approximately August 13 to 16 or from 20 to 23 degrees Leo.

This transit brings gradual but profound changes to your daily routines and habits. You should certainly watch for straining yourself by working too hard when Pluto itself is strained or under pressure. During the course of this very long-term transit, you are learning about new ways of approaching health matters, particularly by uncovering root or core issues. Your work and habits are also evolving in important ways. This is a good period for ridding yourself of bad habits or routines, but be careful that you don't replace one bad habit with another!

Expectations transform this year. Intensity and passion are craved now, and mediocre will no longer do it for you with your work, health, and habits.

Pluto continues its lengthy transit through your solar fifth house this year for those born August 17th forward and at 24-30 degrees Leo.

This extremely long-term transit brings gradual but profound changes in attitudes towards love affairs, creativity, hobbies, recreation, children, self-expression, leisure time, and entertainment. You might feel that your affections and interests have been turned inside out or upside down - that on some levels, you are no longer the same person as a result. Expectations transform and evolve this year. Intensity and passion are craved now, and mediocre will no longer do.

You’ve been going through this process for many years now.

This year,

the North Node transits your solar twelfth house, and this suggests that some of the greatest joys - and challenges - come through learning about your inner world. Your attention turns to spirituality, downtime, and faith. Your path is to attempt to let go of unnecessary worry and guilt and to trust in a larger more spiritual plan.

*Please note: starting and ending dates are not fixed for any sign and they can vary slightly depending on the year you were born. If you are born near one of these dates and are unsure of your Sun sign, see What’s My Sun Sign?.
