Key Events in 2021 for Leo:

Outer Planet Transits:

Jupiter square Uranus and sextile Chiron in January. These aspects can produce some rebellion and a strong desire to break free from limiting circumstances. While we should watch for abrupt moves, it’s also a good time to open our minds to new methods.

For Leo, the realization of a goal may seem more possible through collaboration or through the support of a special person in your life. Learning about the world around you through the eyes of a special person–or through other one-to-one relationships, such as clients–is a pleasing theme.

There can be times when an erratic, unpredictable, abrupt, or rebellious theme in your work or with your life path goals can clash with other life departments. There can be conflicts related to partnerships if your goals are unclear or attention is divided.

It’s a good time to enjoy alternative or extra-curricular activities with a partner or for connecting with someone significant through mind-expanding experiences or non-routine activities. You’re finding an increased sense of personal meaning and purpose through your contacts and explorations. You’re learning through others’ viewpoints and expanding your experiences in the process.

Jupiter trine the North Node of the Moon in February and Saturn trine North Node in April. These aspects increase our willingness to grow, learn, improve, and develop, moving past our fears. We are ready to embrace new methods and attitudes, leaving behind those no longer serving our growth. Our conscience is well-developed. We’re more inclined than usual to believe in the power of the group and of words to convey our message.

It’s a fine time for publishing, community involvement, teaching, guiding, and learning. Harmonizing through shared ideas and ideals can figure very strongly at this time.

For Leo, it’s a strong time for opening yourself to new contacts or for more thoroughly enjoying collaboration, networking, and sharing with others.

Saturn square Uranus from February to December. Our needs for freedom and spontaneity seem to clash with a need for structure and stability. Rules and limitations are hard to tolerate, but without some lines drawn, life feels too chaotic. Attempts to assert our individuality, freedom, and originality tend to 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.

For Leo, there is a heavier, more committed, or traditional element to partnering this year, while your career or life path goals are more unconventional. At times, these areas of life clash. You can feel torn between different goals.

Fortunately, we have the following influence helping to soften some of the rough edges:

Saturn sextile Chiron from February to November. This transit helps us feel competent, effective, and secure. We have a strong sense of both tradition and innovation. We are also more able to express our unique qualities or to go our own way, without stirring up controversy if we act in a professional, respectful manner. There’s no need for show-boating with this aspect. With humility and realism, the chances of success increase.

For Leo, you might recognize that you’re growing through more responsibility or maturity in your relationships, even as you work on the tougher stuff. You might partner up to work or improve health, or of meeting a significant someone through work or the pursuit of your health goals.

Other significant influences and minor transits:

Sun conjunct Jupiter in Aquarius on the day of a Full Moon in Leo. This influence is in effect from January 26-28. It’s an opportunity period for relationships, negotiations, counseling, or partnering. Your personal goals or realization of your true feelings on a matter can motivate you to make improvements in your relationships.

In the first two-and-a-half weeks of February, the sign of Aquarius is in powerful emphasis. A high number of points occupy the sign of Aquarius at this time, including the Moon on the 10-12. The New Moon on February 11th pulls all of this together. This brings an unusual amount of cosmic activity to your partnership sector. Activities, significant events, and opportunities can emerge related to your one-to-one relationships. There can be meaningful opportunities to learn about yourself through a significant other.

With so many influences in the sign of Aquarius, you have more power to direct into a relationship or the pursuit of a better balance in your life.

Venus is retrograde from December 19th. Venus is retrograde in the sign of Capricorn from December 19th, 2021, to January 29, 2022.

For all signs, love, finance, and pleasure matters are not straightforward during this period–it’s a time to review our attitudes, feelings, and satisfaction levels rather than forge ahead boldly into new love relationships or financial projects. It may be best to avoid any major decisions about love (and finances) during this cycle.

While Venus is retrograde for these six weeks, people are a little more cautious and tight-fisted when it comes to generosity with their heart and their money!

Because Venus is in your work and health sector during this retrograde, work matters might be on the tricky side, or you could be reevaluating the joy factor in your daily life and routines. You may be waiting for an answer, or a review of health programs or work projects may be necessary. Use this time to get in better touch with your feelings and values. You are given a chance to catch up with those matters that you’ve overlooked or brushed aside. You may be looking at your work, health, reputation, and daily routines in a different light. Questions of whether you are enjoying yourself enough can be called up now.

New and Full Moons/Eclipses:

The Leo-specific interpretations of these lunations for later dates fill in soon.

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.

See also see your Leo Preview Horoscope for 2021, as well as Leo Love Horoscope for 2021. The horoscope on this page, Leo Yearly, shows the trends and predictions for the year in detail. 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.

Themes are developing in interesting ways for you in 2021, dear Leo. The year has a distinct and strong focus on the sign of Aquarius, affecting your partnerships. It’s important to note that the sector of your solar chart stimulated now rules any kind of one-to-one interaction. It’s the house of partnership, counseling, negotiations, and open enemies or rivals.

Every year, we see challenges and opportunities in different areas. It’s my hope that by understanding these areas of potential disruption and ease, 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 the North Node in harmony with your sign, boosting your self-honesty and enthusiasm.

However, for the most part, it’s a year of adjustments. Jupiter and Saturn have moved away from your work and health sector, and these themes are becoming far less prominent in your life. Now, partnerships and people are in stronger focus. There can be times when you feel blocked or opposed, but you’re likely to learn a lot through your connections and experiences.

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

Overview: Harmony and Challenge of Outer Planets:

A shift towards your partnership sector has occurred in 2021. Saturn has left your work and health sector, and this move helps to reduce the discomfort and duty theme that has been prevalent in recent years.

Saturn has moved into opposition to your sign. While it can come as some relief in the work-and-health department, it’s asking you to get serious about a partnership. Fortunately, Jupiter helps ease you into this new phase, spending a good part of 2021 in the same sector.

Your solar tenth house has a powerful, somewhat erratic, and individualistic guest: Uranus. As such, your career, professional status, life path, and reputation are not going to be a status-quo year. You are doing these things quite differently again this year, and while disruptive at times, it’s exciting. You’re moving toward expressing yourself on professional or public levels in more authentic and independent ways. Themes of awakening to your true calling are with you a little more strongly than in 2020.

This is a powerful year for partnerships, negotiating, balancing, and relating. 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.

If you prefer horoscopes using the Whole sign rather than the decan approach, simply read the first decan interpretation regardless of the degree of your Sun or Ascendant.

Leo (Born July 23 to August 2) – 0 to 10 degrees Leo (1ST DECAN):

2021: Leo Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

 

Until May 13th, and then from July 28th to December 28th, Jupiter continues to move through your solar seventh house and you can enjoy benefits through marriage, serious partnerships, common-law partnerships, business partnerships, negotiations, and/or contractual agreements. This is a period in which you are more likely to establish a significant partnership or you could be enhancing an existing relationship. It's one of the better transits under which to get married or enter a long-term, committed partnership. You can negotiate more successfully than usual, and, if applicable, you are that much more likely to win in legal matters or other forms of official negotiations. Financial benefits could possibly come through partnerships. For those of you who are already partnered, you are likely to find more joy in close relationships due to a more easygoing and tolerant attitude towards others and partnering in general. It's especially important to be fair with one another and to share your ideas and ideals. Legal matters or challenging relationship problems from the past might more easily be resolved now, and even more casual disputes are likely to be settled during this cycle. The need for freedom in your social relationships is strong, however, and if it is not forthcoming, you could feel caged in and restless. You may find yourself taking on the role of consultant or advisor or you could benefit from help from the same. Good publicity may come your way. If your work involves the public, you can safely expect increased popularity now, or you might receive good reviews, feedback, or word-of-mouth opportunities. Relationships and partnerships benefit from expansive, warm energy, or successful new ones are entered into this year. 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. Also, although Jupiter is generally considered positive and happy energy, close relationships could end during this cycle, but if they do, it's generally in order to move on to a happier, healthier, more tolerant relationship or position. A warm, open, and honest approach to others wins you positive new relationships or enhances existing ones.

The most favorable periods for these matters occur while Jupiter is in direct motion in your solar seventh house from January 1-May 13, and from October 18-December 28.

Jupiter transits opposition your Sun/Ascendant. You might fall victim to wasting opportunities, time, or resources when transiting Jupiter opposes your natal Sun. Generally, this transit is a "feel-good" transit. You are likely to be feeling quite powerful and optimistic. The problem with the transit, for some, is that you might over-reach as a result of these inflated feelings of importance. This need not be the case at all. In fact, you might find that you receive a much-needed boost to your ego at this time.

From May 13th to July 28th, and then from December 28th forward, Jupiter, the planet of growth and expansion, is moving through your solar eighth house. During this cycle, you may see benefits in any of the areas ruled by the eighth house - joint finances, shared resources, loans, taxes, sexuality, intimacy, healing, personal transformation, research, investigation, and psychological matters. This is a time of increased psychological understanding, intimacy, and perhaps the accumulation of wealth if you manage your resources well. This is an excellent time to work on financial planning and strategy. You are more capable of helping friends and loved ones who are dealing with a crisis - you can be leaned upon. Your ability to understand and accept anything that is deep in meaning or significant is enhanced now, and you instinctively realize that the path to healing is to face your fears. Others tend to be more supportive of you as well. Any type of in-depth study or research is likely to go well. In some cases, a significant tax refund, inheritance, inheritance, or other such benefits might arrive during this transit. Financial gains may come through a partnership or there may be an increase in a spouse's income. Sensual or intimate opportunities are likely to abound, or your focus on one partner becomes more expansive, warm, and intimate. This could be a time of purging yourself of literal or psychic "junk", as there is a sense that de-cluttering your life will be beneficial to your emotional well-being. Benefits can come through jointly held resources, loans, or taxes. 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. This can be an excellent time for eye-opening psychological discoveries that help you to liberate yourself from difficulties of the past or from attitudes that have been holding you back from moving forward.

Saturn transits your solar seventh house this year. This influence only just got started last year and is now revving up.

Saturn motivates us to do "spring cleaning" in the areas of life it touches. In your case, significant one-to-one relationships need to be considered and understood during this transit. This is a time when you're called to define, understand, and crystallize your significant relationships with others. If you have a partner, this is a time when any issues surrounding compromise, flexibility, and the ability to give your heart to your partner will surface. Initial frustration in the early stages of this transit may take the form of feeling criticized and "examined" in this area of life. By the end of the transit, however, you will have learned much about commitment and compromise. Single people are likely to feel the initial pressures of Saturn transiting the seventh house as well. A feeling of loneliness is possible in either situation (whether you have/had a significant partnership or not), but instead of an issue of re-committing, the single person will seriously think about commitment in general. If involved in a casual love relationship, when Saturn transits the seventh, a pressure emerges concerning the need for evaluating your commitments. Often this transit corresponds with an urge (or pressure) to make a commitment or a recommitment.

Healthy partnerships can be the outcome of this transit, whether they are new ones or strengthened existing partnerships. Saturn always brings with it a fair measure of reality and objectivity, so that whatever relationships you may have now or want to have will be defined and re-defined. Relationships are seen now as serious matters! Partners are no longer mirrors of the ego. Responsibilities to partners, the need to compromise, and the realities of the needs of others, become clear. You see others as individuals and feel compelled to improve the manner in which you relate to and with others. Depending on your age and life circumstances, "significant partnerships" can mean partnerships with loved ones, business partnerships, one-on-one counseling, and deep friendships. By the end of this transit this year, quantity in the relationship department will have been replaced with quality, and this process involves time, soul-searching, frustration, and eventual fulfillment.

This is a time when you may not see the especially flattering side of a partner, or of yourself in response. A partner might feel like a "heavy" in your life, and any feelings of restriction that you feel or have felt in this area of life may seem magnified in your mind now. A partner might also seem cautious, distant, critical, or defensive. You need to open your mind to the possibility that a significant other is providing you with important life lessons - about traditions, simplifying your life, and responsibilities. While this might seem difficult now, you might later look back on this time of your life as a learning experience, and it's best not to automatically discard what someone has to say. Take your time on this one. If, however, a partner is challenging you to the point of breaking, then steps need to be taken to improve the situation.

A relationship can encounter some tests or complications, but if it's strong, it will weather the storm and you could decide to take it to another level. If not, remember that relationships "lost" during a Saturn transit to your partnership sector on some level have run their course and need to end. Some of you could be making a commitment to someone, and others may decide that a traditional partnership is not for you. This is not a period of status quo in your relationships - something is decided now. You may be seeing the sobering side of a relationship, significant person, or yourself through a relationship! If it's very uncomfortable, now is the time to make changes.

With Saturn opposing your Sun this year, you might feel that you're not often getting what you want. Others may be restricting you, or at least that's how you might perceive things, and you may not be at your best in terms of overall energy, feeling drained or sapped. Some areas of your life may seem to be breaking down before they get better. There can also be bone and teeth problems - something that often happens with hard Saturn transits. Tidy and organize your life as much as possible in order to minimize the challenges.

Opposition from others can take many forms, but the lesson here is to strike a balance. There will be times when you long for a life with few restrictions and responsibilities. However, some responsibilities and restrictions are necessary. Seek ways to balance your life regarding pleasures and responsibilities. Sometimes, in order to achieve a balance, the scales tip toward one side for a while. Don't turn your back on certain commitments and traditions, and aim to learn and grow as much as possible from the obstacles you may face.

Uranus continues its transit of your solar tenth house this year.

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 long behind you.

Pluto continues its lengthy transit of your solar sixth house this year. The acute elements of this transit are long behind you. 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.

This year, the North Node transits your solar eleventh house, and the North Node is pointing you in the direction of your association with groups, friends, and networking. You need to let go of any resistance you might feel about being "one of the crowd" in an effort to stand out as unique and special. You should be moving towards a more objective approach to your life this year, as well as cultivating true friendships. Your relationships with others - as well as your relationship with yourself - will benefit.

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

2021: Leo Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

 

From February 1st onward, Jupiter, the planet of growth and expansion, transits your solar seventh house. During this cycle, you may enjoy benefits through marriage, serious partnerships, common-law partnerships, business partnerships, negotiations, and/or contractual agreements. This is a period of your life when you're more likely to establish a significant partnership, or you could be enhancing an existing relationship. It's one of the better transits under which to get married. You can negotiate more successfully than usual, and, if applicable, you are more likely to win in legal matters or other forms of official negotiations. Financial benefits could possibly come through partnerships. For those of you who are already partnered, you are likely to find more joy in close relationships due to a more easygoing and tolerant attitude towards others and partnering in general. It's especially important to be fair with one another and to share your ideas and ideals. Legal matters or challenging relationship problems from the past might more easily be resolved now, and even more casual disputes are likely to be settled during this cycle. The need for freedom in your social relationships is strong, however, and if it is not forthcoming, you could feel caged in and restless. You may find yourself taking on the role of consultant or advisor, or you could benefit from help from the same. Good publicity may come your way. If your work involves the public, you can safely expect increased popularity now, or you might receive good reviews, feedback, or word-of-mouth opportunities. Relationships and partnerships benefit from expansive, warm energy, or successful new ones are entered into this year. 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. Also, although Jupiter is generally considered positive and happy energy, close relationships could end during this cycle, but if they do, it's generally in order to move on to a happier, healthier, more tolerant relationship. A warm, open, and honest approach to others wins you positive new relationships or enhances existing ones.

The most favorable periods for these matters occur while Jupiter is in direct motion in your solar seventh house, from February 1-May 13, and from October 18th forward.

Jupiter transits opposition your Sun/Ascendant. You might fall victim to wasting opportunities, time, or resources when transiting Jupiter opposes your natal Sun. Generally, this transit is a "feel-good" transit. You are likely to be feeling quite powerful and optimistic. The problem with the transit, for some, is that you might over-reach as a result of these inflated feelings of importance. This need not be the case at all. In fact, you might find that you receive a much-needed boost to your ego at this time.

Saturn transits your solar sixth house (until March 2021). It’s typically felt most strongly in the first year of its influence – for your decan, that was two years ago! You are now taking this transit increasingly in stride as you get more comfortable with this energy–this transit is on its way out now.

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.

 

Saturn transits your solar seventh house from March forward. This influence is typically felt most strongly in the first year of its influence – for your decan, that’s 2021!

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.

Although Uranus is transiting the sign of Taurus which is the sign on your solar tenth house, Uranus only dips into the degrees of your decan this year, and will transit your solar tenth house more consistently in upcoming years.

Those born on August 3-8 and those with a 10-15 degree Leo Ascendant will experience the Uranus transit to the tenth house in 2021. (For the rest of you, this transit will happen in 2022.) For this group:

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. 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.

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.

The acute elements of this Pluto transit are behind you in 2021.

Until mid-July, the North Node transits your solar eleventh house, and the North Node is pointing you in the direction of your association with groups, friends, and networking. You need to let go of any resistance you might feel about being "one of the crowd" in an effort to stand out as unique and special. You should be moving towards a more objective approach to your life this year, as well as cultivating true friendships. Your relationships with others - as well as your relationship with yourself - will benefit.

From mid-July forward, the North Node transits your solar tenth house, and this suggests that some of the greatest joys - and challenges - come through your career and public life. This is a time for putting yourself out there and for meeting your responsibilities.

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

 

2021: Leo Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

From mid-March forward, Jupiter, the planet of growth and expansion, transits your solar seventh house. During this cycle, you may enjoy benefits through marriage, serious partnerships, common-law partnerships, business partnerships, negotiations, and/or contractual agreements. This is a period of your life when you're more likely to establish a significant partnership, or you could be enhancing an existing relationship. It's one of the better transits under which to get married. You can negotiate more successfully than usual, and, if applicable, you are more likely to win in legal matters or other forms of official negotiations. Financial benefits could possibly come through partnerships. For those of you who are already partnered, you are likely to find more joy in close relationships due to a more easygoing and tolerant attitude towards others and partnering in general. It's especially important to be fair with one another and to share your ideas and ideals. Legal matters or challenging relationship problems from the past might more easily be resolved now, and even more casual disputes are likely to be settled during this cycle. The need for freedom in your social relationships is strong, however, and if it is not forthcoming, you could feel caged in and restless. You may find yourself taking on the role of consultant or advisor, or you could benefit from help from the same. Good publicity may come your way. If your work involves the public, you can safely expect increased popularity now, or you might receive good reviews, feedback, or word-of-mouth opportunities. Relationships and partnerships benefit from expansive, warm energy, or successful new ones are entered into this year. 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. Also, although Jupiter is generally considered positive and happy energy, close relationships could end during this cycle, but if they do, it's generally in order to move on to a happier, healthier, more tolerant relationship. A warm, open, and honest approach to others wins you positive new relationships or enhances existing ones.

The most favorable periods for these matters occur while Jupiter is in direct motion in your solar seventh house, from March 16-May 13, and from October 18-forward.

Jupiter transits opposition your Sun/Ascendant. You might fall victim to wasting opportunities, time, or resources when transiting Jupiter opposes your natal Sun. Generally, this transit is a "feel-good" transit. You are likely to be feeling quite powerful and optimistic. The problem with the transit, for some, is that you might over-reach as a result of these inflated feelings of importance. This need not be the case at all. In fact, you might find that you receive a much-needed boost to your ego at this time.

Saturn transits your solar sixth house this year. This transit will run until March 2022 for your decan.

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.

The more intense or acute elements of this transit occurred for you last year. You’ve likely now grown more accustomed to the energies.

Although Uranus is in Taurus, Uranus will not reach your decan’s tenth house cusp in 2021.

Neptune continues its lengthy transit through your solar seventh house this year for most of you, 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.

However, those born with the Sun (August 13 to 15) or Ascendant at 20 to 23 degrees Leo experience the beginnings of Neptune’s transit to the 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.

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.

Pluto begins or continues its lengthy transit of your solar sixth this year for those born approximately from 20 to 27 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 with 28-30 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 tenth house, and this suggests that some of the greatest joys - and challenges - come through your career and public life. This is a time for putting yourself out there and for meeting your responsibilities.

*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?.
