2022: Leo Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

Leo (All):

Note: The overview or summary of the year resides here; the details of the year continue below.

The year 2022 is strong for your intimate world and for exploration and discovery, dear Leo. There can be benefits and support coming your way. Combining your resources, talents, and/or money with a partner can improve your financial outlook. You might also benefit from managing others’ resources and talents without the “teaming up” part.

It can be an excellent period for romance, fun, friendship, and discovery with someone close to you. Money from others or from outside sources is much improved this year, whether it’s through loans, refunds, rebates, or the like. Non-tangible support is also abundant–assistance from others comes more readily than usual.

Improving your skill set can be fun and rewarding, and even if it isn’t required of you, you should probably look into some training or personal interest studies.

Finding support or backing for your career, work, or health efforts can be easier. In turn, as you reach for your career goals, your improved confidence reverberates back to your intimate world. You see opportunities where others see obstacles, which is a great quality/asset.

You find more to love and enjoy in your intimate or private world this year, but as 2022 advances, you find yourself more and more interactive, not only looking ahead, but also far and wide.

Key Events in 2022 for Leo:

Outer Planet Transits:

Jupiter sextile Uranus and semi-square Pluto in February. With these aspects, changes and innovations are exciting. We’re open to new energies, approaches, and attitudes. Fortunate events occur as a direct result of our willingness to entertain the unusual and to think outside of the box. We’re less tolerant of repetition and routine, and we’re resistant to obligations or limits to our self-expression. Good luck or money can happen unexpectedly, appearing in the nick of time.

For Leo, it’s a time to think progressively and creatively. Willingness to make changes and improvements can bring rewards. Surprises related to support or loans can figure strongly, moving your goals forward. It can be a time of developments with shared resources. Sudden insights and opportunities for emotional renewal or healing are empowering now, and these developments can positively impact your career or life path plans.

Jupiter conjunct Neptune in April. With this fabulous alignment, idealistic and humanitarian goals or impulses surface. Themes now are making connections with others of a different background, a spirit of altruism and generosity, widening our minds through unusual or different experiences, expanded faith, and a feeling that anything is possible if we believe in it. We more easily make personal sacrifices for what we believe to be the better good.

Everyday, ordinary life doesn’t satisfy, as we hunger for a more idealistic life. This can certainly lead to disappointment or strong feelings of discontent and restlessness. We may need a reality check in order to keep our expectations realistic. However, it’s a period of greater compassion–when our guiding principle is to trust in people or the universe.

Intimacy is delightfully complicated and perhaps quite magical at this time as you incorporate more acceptance, mystery, or imagination into your into your inner or intimate world. Do keep an eye on your shared resources as you explore boundaries.

Jupiter sextile Pluto in early May. We’re discovering our ambitions and motivations, and it’s an enjoyable, productive experience. It’s a time when we want to improve, grow, and bring something to the next level. As we connect with our hidden talents or desires, we begin to embrace new directions or pursuits.

As you embrace your ambitions, Leo, you are likely to enjoy increased influence and support. Benefits come to your work, health, habits, intimate relationships, and shared finances. You receive lovely cosmic support for making empowering changes and choices with your attachments and dependencies, the services or work you provide, your efforts to maintain and improve health, and your daily routines and habits. If there’s a time to make a positive lifestyle change, it’s now!

Uranus conjunct True North Node in July. With this transit, we attract people or lessons into our lives that encourage us to detach from traditions or conventions that are keeping us from growing. It’s a good time to make pivotal friendships or group connections. We’re learning to be more self-sufficient while concerning ourselves with bettering the world around us.

Being willing to make some changes can bring opportunities to advance materially or emotionally. You may be redefining what it means for you to succeed, perhaps in ways that also benefit the group, and it can be satisfying. You’re standing out as especially unique.

Other significant influences and minor transits:

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.

The Sun aligns with Jupiter in Pisces and Venus aligns with Mars in Aquarius on March 5-7. It’s a wildly creative and optimistic time. We’re generous with our time and energy, and we can be quite reactive and affectionate, perhaps bolder than usual as we wish to do something special.

Mars is retrograde from October 30, 2022, to January 12, 2023, in the sign of Gemini (pre-retrograde shadow begins September 3). We can feel stuck on past relationships or situations, finding it difficult to move ahead. Slowdowns, reparations, and reconsiderations are significant in your social life. You may need to manage weighty issues and delays. There can be some backtracking and challenges surfacing on a social level. Or, frustration with goals or dreams not manifesting soon enough can emerge, when in fact this retrograde period is reliable for making necessary edits to your plans.

There can be a return to an old friendship or troubles from the past resurfacing in a current one. Enthusiasm for generating business income, for working towards your higher goals and hopes, for group or community activities, and/or friendships may wane, perhaps due to some problems or setbacks. Refocusing and review become necessary and recommended during this period.

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.

Themes are developing in interesting ways for you in 2022, dear Leo. 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, for half the year, Jupiter in harmony with your sign, boosting your self-honesty, optimism, and enthusiasm.

However, for the most part, it’s a year of adjustments. There can be times when you feel blocked or opposed as Saturn and Uranus continue to challenge your sign, 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:

Saturn continues to oppose your sign, asking you to get serious about a partnership. Fortunately, Jupiter spends half the year in your intimacy sector, and the other half in your adventure sector, helping to support your connections and your spirit.

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, but mostly positively. You’re moving just a little out of your comfort zone, and the explorations and discovery involved can be most rewarding.

This is a powerful year for intimacy, investigation, shared finances, learning, exploring, and sharing or publishing. 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.

2022: Leo Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

Until May 10th, and then from October 28th to December 20th:

Jupiter continues to move through your solar eighth house. During this cycle, you may see significant 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.

At the same time, others tend to support you more readily. You can benefit greatly from employing strategy in your life in general. This is a fabulous time for seeing or discovering the value of patience and planning.

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. 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. Gifts, inheritance, loans, and other forms of financial support are possible now. 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 happen all at once. You need to keep your eyes open for opportunities in these areas of life. However, this is an excellent period for shining light in the darker places of your life and psyche, greater self-understanding, and improved intimacy with a partner and/or with yourself.

The most favorable periods for these matters occur while Jupiter is in direct motion in your solar 8th house from January 1-May 10 and November 23-December 20.

From May 10th to October 28th, and then from December 20th onward:

Jupiter, the planet of growth and expansion, is moving through your solar ninth house. During this cycle, you may have opportunities to travel (if appropriate), study, go abroad, expand your horizons, and connect with people of diverse and interesting backgrounds.

You are more intellectually curious now, and academic pursuits can both benefit you and run exceptionally smoothly during this cycle. Business dealings, particularly long-distance ones and those involving publicity and promotion, are likely to be profitable now.

Legal matters might also work in your favor, or long-standing legal problems might now be ironed out. Some of you will be seeking legal advice and find it especially helpful now.

A more faithful attitude towards life, in general, is likely now—you tend to feel that everything will work out in the end. Authors might get published now, receive good reviews, or they could significantly expand their audience. Travel is possible now (if advisable), whether it's business or personal. Educational opportunities expand your horizons. Teaching and learning are favored. Writing and studying flow more naturally. This is also an excellent period for positive dealings with in-laws!

Your mind is more expansive and tolerant, and you are under less stress than usual. You are less inclined to sweat the small stuff.

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. Watch for a tendency towards a "holier than thou" attitude.

New learning experiences, as well as "life" experiences (adventures, contacts with others of a vastly different culture than yours, and so forth), are likely to emerge. You might choose to learn a new language or take on other studies. This is an exceptionally strong placement for Jupiter. You're considerably more adventurous and outgoing now.

Saturn transits your solar seventh house this year. This influence began in 2020 and will continue until March 2023.

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.

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.

From January 18th 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 3 to 12) – 10 to 20 degrees Leo (2ND DECAN):

2022: Leo Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

From February 12th onward,

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.

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.

The most favorable periods for these matters occur while Jupiter is in direct motion in your solar eighth house, from February 12-July 28, and from November 23rd forward.

Saturn transits your solar seventh house. This influence is typically felt most strongly in the first year of its influence – for your decan, that was last year. In 2022, you’re more comfortable with this energy.

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 begins or continues its lengthy transit of your solar tenth house this year for most of you.

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.

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

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 2022.

All 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.

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

2022: Leo Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

From March 26th forward,

The most favorable periods for these matters occur while Jupiter is in direct motion in your solar eighth house, from March 26-July 28, and from November 23-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 and seventh house this year. Saturn divides its time between these two houses as it transitions.

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 cycle you’re transitioning into this year is as follows:

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.

Although Uranus is in Taurus, Uranus will not reach your decan’s tenth house cusp in 2022.

Neptune continues its lengthy transit through your solar seventh house this year for many 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 their Sun or Ascendant from 20 to 25 degrees Leo begin or continue Neptune’s lengthy transit through your solar eighth house this year:

Pluto begins or continues its lengthy transit of your solar sixth this year for those born approximately from 20 to 28 degrees Leo.

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 29-30 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.

Until mid-July, 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.

From mid-July, the North Node transits your solar ninth house, and this suggests that some of the greatest joys - and challenges - come through your belief systems, religion, or perspective. This is a time for building your faith and understanding where you stand as well as what you believe in.

*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?.
