Today's Leo Horoscope from Cafe Astrology

December 21, 2024

The Sun heads into your solar sixth house today, dear Leo, for a stay until January 19th, and you’re entering a period of renewed energy for work and routines. While it’s not the best time for recognition or worldly success, the weeks ahead are active for self-development and laying the groundwork for future success. You can be exceptionally busy getting your life into better order. Taking charge of your work and health routines is rewarding now as you awaken to a need to lead a more organized, productive, and healthier lifestyle. It’s an important time of the year to make improvements and updates to those systems in your life that have fallen out of alignment or no longer serve you as well as they once did. You identify with or put more pride in your work or wellness. Still, watch for the tendency to fret or limit your opportunities. Today, the desire to settle in and get comfortable is not only coming naturally; it's for your benefit.

December 2024 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Leo:

The sector of your solar chart that rules creativity, romance, entertainment, self-expression, and pleasure is in stronger focus in December, dear Leo. While the New Moon on the first of the month inspires new beginnings and fresh starts in these areas of life, Mercury's retrograde in the same sector, active until the 15th, pulls your attention to the past. In order to clear the way for a fresh start, you may need to take care of some unfinished business. Projects might be on hold until you finish up some important details. Motivation and enthusiasm may take a bit of a nosedive around the 6th. Try not to make new commitments until you are certain you have a handle on current ones.

Until the 7th, you might make beneficial connections through the pursuit of your work and health goals or because of a stronger interest in these things. It's a good time for personal enjoyment of projects, organizing, list making, watching your nutrition, and the like.

After the New Moon on the 1st, you can fee inspired, particularly on creative or romantic levels, although there can be some drama in the mix. It's a creative, interactive period for you, particularly with Mars in your sign, convincing you to go after what you want. This is a time for reconnecting with your "inner child." Ideally, you're feeling happier and freer. You're motivated to pursue your passions.

However, romantic relationships can be a little complicated, or you may be focused on a past connection. Those projects or relationships that have been holding you back from expressing your true, creative self may come under scrutiny.

In fact, Mars turns retrograde in your sign on the 6th. Watch that you don't book yourself solid early in the month, as there can be a change of heart or slowdowns occurring later. You may not feel like following through, or you simply can't. While Mars will be retrograde until February 23rd, it spends only the first four and a half weeks retrograde in Leo.

Certainly, you can be more introspective during this retrograde. It's not that you lack confidence, but you're more inclined to look within for answers. Questioning your plans is likely and, in fact, entirely necessary. The temptation to push ahead with personal plans is strong, but circumstances could have you feeling stuck.

Watch for temper tantrums as you'll be strongest if you tame impatience and work on projects that need fine-tuning or completion rather than adding more to your plate. Avoid dwelling on matters you can't control, even with buried frustrations emerging in unexpected ways. The tendency to stew and to let things get to you is strong. Some disconnects can occur but can also lead to greater understanding down the line. For now, try not to push matters (or others). Give them space, and give yourself space as well.

Venus visiting your partnership sector from the 7th onward can enhance and improve companionability and popularity. You'll find it mostly easy to harmonize with others. You're in good shape for enhancing and boosting a close relationship. This influence can mitigate some of the complications of Mars retrograde in your sign. You can be mainly focused on coming to a balance in a relationship, and negotiations are fair and prosperous. The secret to happiness seems to be balance and patience.

Still, the Venus-Mars opposition on the 11th to the 12th can be strong on you with Mars in your sign. Someone may be frustrated with you, and perhaps that person hopes you'll intuit what they truly want, but it can be difficult to pinpoint. Reactions can be strong now. Try to detach yourself emotionally just enough to stay calm and work things out, but not so much that others think you're mocking them. You can learn a lot about yourself from whatever is triggered now.

The Full Moon on the 15th can bring drama to your social life or feelings about friendship to bloom. This is a time for putting something negative behind you. It's also when information you've been waiting for begins to trickle in with the end of Mercury's retrograde.

The Sun heads into your work and health sector on the 21st, and energy is shifting towards taking care of business. You're moving into a period of increased focus on routines and health, and the New Moon on the 30th clinches it. You're motivated to start fresh with your daily affairs and routines.

The last week of the month/year also brings stronger faith in your intuition. While you’re not yet ready to jump into action, you are absorbing a tremendous amount from your environment. You feel better equipped mentally and emotionally to deal with issues that were buried or swept under the carpet. Connecting with someone over a shared ideal or belief is possible.

2024 Yearly Horoscope Overview

Increasingly, you’re finding the need to bring more creativity and less routine to your career, dear Leo. You find more joy in your professional or public life in 2024. Good things come your way, including recognition. Your reputation, in general, improves. Jupiter transiting your career and reputation sector until late May boosts pleasure, opportunities, and goodwill in these areas of your life.

You continue to move away from false paths that no longer serve you well or transform them into more suitable ones. Planning more carefully for your future is important. It’s possible there’s less support from others at times as Saturn transits your solar eighth house. However, you’re creative about making the best of circumstances. Dealing with debt can be a worthy goal in 2024.

Much of the hard work you’ve put in is paying off and reaping the rewards. Advancement in achieving an important goal can occur in 2024. Fortunately, you have more faith in your goals and aspirations. You also feel more excited about achieving your longer-term goals and ambitions. Bonus: others are especially attracted to your visionary and confident approach.

It’s possible you meet people who boost your career or encounter sudden opportunities to move a goal forward. You could find yourself especially motivated by– and passionate about– the work you do.

With Jupiter’s move into your sector of dreams, hopes, ideals, friendships, and groups on May 25th, you’ll see these things expand. If you own a business, this sector also rules income from that business, which can also improve. New contacts, contributions, and involvements bring you joy.

You’ll take pleasure in reaching out to others and can be more motivated to branch out and network as the year progresses.
Partnered Leos will find that their relationships are evolving. They’ll need to avoid suspicion and trying to get others to follow their “script” and deemphasize people in their lives doing the same. You might reach new social heights or experience an enhanced reputation through a romantic association. You have more personal influence in groups, with friends, and with a partner.

This year’s most notable opportunities revolve around sharing, publishing, leading, managing, and connecting. You’re enjoying a social boost — a boon, even! It’s one of the best periods in twelve years for connecting with like-minded people and enjoying good company. This year, you’re encouraged to expand your horizons and to get out and about more often. While you’re also quite excited about pursuing your ambitions this year, coming up for air will give you a world of good and help balance your life.

2025 Love Horoscope for Leo

There are key changes in your solar chart in 2025 that suggest new attitudes and needs concerning committed partnerships, dear Leo, with Pluto now fully transitioned into the role of long-term guest in your partnership sector.

Uranus rules your solar chart’s partnership sector, and it’s in Taurus and your career/reputation sector again this year, but only part-time. This trend has been with you for years and will leave for good in April 2026! It has tied partnerships with business and career goals, making meeting and pairing up with a partner through your career, business, or larger life goals a real possibility.

This year, Uranus begins its transition into your sector of dreams, friends, hopes, ideals, and wishes. and it’s forming some easy aspects as it does. This move points to lively, unusual, and exciting friendships. It can also point to disruptions and unreliability in your social life, as well as off-and-on friendships. However, you’re expecting more friendliness and communication from partnership. Partnering up with a friend is even possible with this shift.

Pluto has been dipping its toes into your partnership sector and is now in this area of your solar chart for the long haul. In the last two years, these transitions suggested your needs from–and experiences with–one-to-one partnerships were in flux. Now, you’re expecting different things as your needs from others change. You’re also ridding your life of superficialities in your close relationships…cont’d
