Overview for this Month: Leo (All)
Horoscope Overview for December 2019 for Leo:
Uranus is square your sign, dear Leo, and this planet of progressive change, rebellion, and individuality is at the top of your solar chart. Alterations in your lifestyle can be quite significant, and new directions are likely now and in upcoming years. A strong need for independence marks this period of your life, and it's building! Life seems to speed up as if it's nudging you to take a few risks, make changes, and blaze new paths that you haven't considered before. You are spirited and spunky.
However, you also have a lot of work to do. Jupiter heads into your sector of work, health, and daily routines this month, and will stick around there until next December! The nature and breadth of your daily activities and routines expand under this influence. Saturn and Pluto have been bringing heavy energy to this sector of your chart, and now that Jupiter's arrived, you're finding more meaning and joy in your work or daily affairs. Opportunities for improved working conditions and advancement are likely, particularly this month with Uranus and Jupiter highlighting the two sectors of your solar chart that have to do with work. A positive attitude towards the work you do helps you attract these opportunities and potential windfalls. You're rethinking your goals, and new ideas are likely to emerge now that you'll develop further in 2020. December is a time for inspiration.
The goal now is to discover a more rewarding and fulfilling path while keeping your feet on the ground. You might also enjoy a stronger interest in nutrition, cleaner living, and fitness. You'll find new ways to manage and improve your daily life, but there can be some initial dissatisfaction before you feel the drive to make improvements and refinements. The Solar Eclipse on the 26th can prompt new beginnings--eclipses often highlight lack or frustration that motivate us to make changes.
You're likely to feel a surge of optimism and confidence about self-care and self-improvement this month and beyond. You want to upgrade health, work, habits, and routines. You might discover new things to love in your work or everyday life, and events occurring now can increase your commitment to--or excitement about--making improvements. Aim to share your eagerness and generosity. You might discover new ways of taking care of the practical side of life, and it's empowering and freeing.
Despite this tremendous focus on your work and health sector, the Sun moves through your sector of joy, pleasure, and self-expression until the 21st. You're sure to find plenty of moments to enjoy yourself and share your happiness with others this month. Just before the Sun leaves this area of your solar chart, Venus moves into your partnership sector, ensuring further loving attention and warmth in your life.
Mars transits your home and family sector all month, encouraging activity on the home front. This influence can undoubtedly stir up some tension, and physical and creative release from pressure can be beneficial. Some form of spiritual or creative escape, if you can manage it, would be excellent to help round out your life this month.

Leo (Born July 23 to August 2)
AND Leo Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Leo:
December 2019 Leo Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
December 2019
Overview.
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until December 21st:
The Sun continues to put a spotlight on your solar fifth house. This is a time when pleasure-seeking and creative activities come into focus and grab much of your attention. You are particularly personally charming in a spontaneous, natural way during this solar cycle. This is the time of year when you are ready to perform and to express yourself creatively.
This is a very playful cycle, when you are inspired creatively and emotionally. It's a good time for recreation, romance, connecting with children, and enjoying and performing the arts. Your ego is tied up in your children, romantic relationships, and creative output now, so that you can be especially proud of these people and things. You can also be over-sensitive about these matters if you feel you are not getting enough appreciation.
From December 22nd forward:
The Sun illuminates your solar sixth house. During this cycle, you take more pride in the work you do and in your health routines than any other time of the year. You are sorting through the experiences of the last several months, separating the worthwhile from the worthless. This is a good time to build your skills, to get organized, and to attend to your health and wellbeing. It's a great time to make improvements to your regular routines. Your self-esteem and your ego are tied up in the work you do and in the services you give. Details are more important to you now.
It's time to bring order to your life by focusing on the little things that make up the whole. This cycle presents an opportunity to get rid of what doesn't work in your life, while also discovering what does. You could seek distinction and strive towards perfection in your work. Efficiency should be your goal now. Your physical health, as well as the relationship between your body and your mind, are in focus.
Eclipses
An Annular Solar Eclipse occurs on December 26th: A general rule of thumb regarding eclipses is to avoid major decision-making in the week before and after an eclipse. This is because new information that could change our perspective often is revealed in the week after the eclipse. There is absolutely no need to suspend projects already in progress. Essentially, it's better to take in right now--to observe and get in touch with feelings. The Solar Eclipse marks a new beginning for you. Letting go of the past is necessary in order to move forward. This eclipse occurs in your solar sixth house, suggesting a new approach to work or health is in order. A new set-up in existing jobs or a new job altogether may be formed in the coming months, as well as a sense of renewal and reinvigoration with regards to your daily activities, health routines, and attention to practical matters. This is a phase when you have an increased awareness of the daily routines that keep you organized and of your own health.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until December 19th:
Venus continues to move through your solar sixth house now. This is a time when beautifying and/or bringing harmony to your working environment is a priority to you. You might find more opportunities to socialize with co-workers, perhaps even meeting a new friend through your work or health routines. You are likely to bring more tact and diplomacy to your relations with the people you work with now. You may not be as productive as usual during this period, as the focus is more on social relationships and pleasure than on getting the job done. Improving health and vitality through pleasurable activities such as massage might be in focus now.
From December 20th forward:
Venus graces your solar seventh house during this period. This is a time for extra attention to a partner or significant other, as well as from that person! You are more inclined to flatter and charm others during this cycle. One-to-one relating appeals to you more than group activities or more casual connections. Smoothing out your close personal relationships is what makes you happy during this cycle. If single, you are more willing than normal to enter into a committed relationship. In general, you are adaptable when it comes to your affections--very willing to compromise, negotiate, and make peace.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Until December 8th:
Mercury continues to transit your solar fourth house. Your thoughts tend to revolve around personal matters, especially family, home, and domestic issues. You enjoy, more than usual, discussions and stories about the past and about family.
You are more rational and objective when it comes to your relationships with those close to you, so it is, in fact, a good time to open up discussions with family. There can be increased activities in and around the home during this cycle. You are not as interested in worldly matters and career as you are in your personal life for the time being.
From December 9-28:
Mercury transits your solar fifth house. During this cycle, there is a powerful mental connection with your creative self-expression. You are proud of your ideas, and very good at expressing them to others smoothly now. Your thinking is more creative than usual. You tend to entertain others with your conversation; and your sense of humor (and of mischief!) is especially strong.
Your thoughts turn to children, pleasures, or romance during this expressive cycle. You might enjoy researching speculative ventures now. You especially enjoy games that involve competing with others on a mental level. You have a stronger need than usual for intellectual stimulation. Therefore, your friends and romantic partner are best appreciated now if they are intellectual types. You're more willing to take risks on a mental level now, so take advantage of the increased spontaneity and creativity that comes with this position.
From December 28th forward:
Mercury transits your solar sixth house. This is a good placement for Mercury, as it is the natural ruler of the sixth house. It's an excellent period for sorting out the details of your daily existence. You are inclined to make to-do lists, pay bills and sort out clutter, and to do detail work on the job. Health matters are most certainly on your brain as well, and you could be thinking of scheduling check-ups or busy researching ways to improve your health. You may also show a keener interest in improving your basic skills.
Your approach to work during this cycle is pleasant, happy, and logical for the most part, unless you allow worry or scattered energy to enter the picture. You are inclined to want to learn new work skills, or to improve your skills and output in terms of work. There is likely to be more activity, movement, contact, and communications with co-workers now.
You tend to take more interest in organizing your working environment--and this is an excellent time to do so, as you are especially objective and intelligent when it comes to getting a handle on your daily affairs and all of the "little things" that contribute to a feeling of efficiency and competency. Menial tasks become more prominent. Watch, however, for tension or idle chit-chat interfering with your work output during this cycle.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
All of December:
Mars continues to activate your solar fourth house. More energy and enthusiasm is brought to your home life, but there can also be a tendency to stir up trouble if you are not careful to channel any excess energy into constructive and productive pursuits around the home. You desire to take the lead, but you should do so in a respectful way so as not to get anyone's goat.

Leo (Born August 3 to 12)
AND Leo Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Leo:
December 2019 Leo Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
December 2019
Overview.
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
All month:
The Sun illuminates your solar fifth house now. After a period of "nesting", you are coming out of your shell, ready to perform and to express yourself creatively. This is a very playful period of the year, when you are inspired creatively and emotionally. After a period of self-protectiveness, you are now more spontaneous and more willing to take risks. You take more pride than usual in your creations, your love affairs, your children, and your hobbies. Pleasure and amusement play an important role in your search for freedom of self-expression now. Show off your best colors!
You want others to take notice, and you are more sensitive to whether people appreciate you. More than any time of the year, this is the cycle in which you focus on having fun, enjoying romance, and expressing yourself creatively. Your hobbies, leisure time, moments spent with children, gaming time, and so forth, all come into focus at this time of year.
This is a cycle in which you find joy in expressing who you are--when your "inner child" comes out to play. This is a time when you are more flirtatious than usual, and when you might take a few risks in life--not only gambling with games but with life itself. You might be a bit of a showman at this time. You are likely feeling good in general, and you tend to spread the joy.

You may have the desire to dress well and in good taste. There is strength in your feelings of love and the power of attraction, which may open the door to new romantic relationships. Yet, you are not aggressive in your approach to love. Instead, you attract more if you allow yourself to be pursued during this cycle. Conditions are highlighted in connection with young people, and quite possibly a female child--a stronger bond could be formed during this period. You are feeling inspired creatively and romantically and you express your loving feelings quite openly now. Creative self-expression of any kind is favored at this time. You will also thoroughly enjoy artistic, musical, or cultural events and activities, especially in the company of a loved one.

Any love affair begun now will be characterized by good cheer, having fun, and a fair share of emotional drama!

It's a strong time for putting your energy into intellectual projects or studies. You tend to communicate in a more direct manner now, and you might want to be careful that you don't come across as insensitive or abrasive. You may find it too easy to become impatient with others if they seem to be taking up too much of your time, such as with other drivers or with people who are not speaking as directly as you are. Channel your extra energy into mental tasks so that this transit can be highly stimulating (instead of stressful).
From the 4th forward:
Mars activates and energizes your solar fourth house. You have more energy at your disposal for domestic projects or activities.

In fact, if you are feeling very restless, moody, or defensive during this period, it would be a good idea to do any of these things! You may have an increased desire to rule the roost, and if this transit stimulates conflict or disputes, it is likely to be family-related--you may have arguments with them, about them, or on their behalf. You may also encounter opposition from career-related matters or people. You may get worked up about old angers or regarding emotional issues from the past that are resurfacing now.

You may have more energy to invest in homemaking, house repairs, redecorating, or family activities. In fact, if you are feeling very restless, moody, or defensive during this period, it would be a good idea to do any of these things! You may have an increased desire to rule the roost, and if this transit stimulates conflict or disputes, it is likely to be family-related--you may have arguments with them, about them, or on their behalf. You may also encounter opposition from career-related matters or people. You may get worked up about old angers or regarding emotional issues from the past that are resurfacing now.
Overview Horoscope:
Horoscope Overview for December 2019 for Leo:
Uranus is square your sign, dear Leo, and this planet of progressive change, rebellion, and individuality is at the top of your solar chart. Alterations in your lifestyle can be quite significant, and new directions are likely now and in upcoming years. A strong need for independence marks this period of your life, and it's building! Life seems to speed up as if it's nudging you to take a few risks, make changes, and blaze new paths that you haven't considered before. You are spirited and spunky.
However, you also have a lot of work to do. Jupiter heads into your sector of work, health, and daily routines this month, and will stick around there until next December! The nature and breadth of your daily activities and routines expand under this influence. Saturn and Pluto have been bringing heavy energy to this sector of your chart, and now that Jupiter's arrived, you're finding more meaning and joy in your work or daily affairs. Opportunities for improved working conditions and advancement are likely, particularly this month with Uranus and Jupiter highlighting the two sectors of your solar chart that have to do with work. A positive attitude towards the work you do helps you attract these opportunities and potential windfalls. You're rethinking your goals, and new ideas are likely to emerge now that you'll develop further in 2020. December is a time for inspiration.
The goal now is to discover a more rewarding and fulfilling path while keeping your feet on the ground. You might also enjoy a stronger interest in nutrition, cleaner living, and fitness. You'll find new ways to manage and improve your daily life, but there can be some initial dissatisfaction before you feel the drive to make improvements and refinements. The Solar Eclipse on the 26th can prompt new beginnings--eclipses often highlight lack or frustration that motivate us to make changes.
You're likely to feel a surge of optimism and confidence about self-care and self-improvement this month and beyond. You want to upgrade health, work, habits, and routines. You might discover new things to love in your work or everyday life, and events occurring now can increase your commitment to--or excitement about--making improvements. Aim to share your eagerness and generosity. You might discover new ways of taking care of the practical side of life, and it's empowering and freeing.
Despite this tremendous focus on your work and health sector, the Sun moves through your sector of joy, pleasure, and self-expression until the 21st. You're sure to find plenty of moments to enjoy yourself and share your happiness with others this month. Just before the Sun leaves this area of your solar chart, Venus moves into your partnership sector, ensuring further loving attention and warmth in your life.
Mars transits your home and family sector all month, encouraging activity on the home front. This influence can undoubtedly stir up some tension, and physical and creative release from pressure can be beneficial. Some form of spiritual or creative escape, if you can manage it, would be excellent to help round out your life this month.

About Our Monthly Horoscopes:
Our detailed monthly horoscopes are designed to reveal and interpret the current transits of the Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Mars in your solar chart. Because these energies or transits do not unfold neatly into any given calendar month (many transits carry forward from one month to the next), you will find some of the energies continue from the previous month. For example, the Sun might transit the second house of your solar chart from June 21 to July 22, so that you will find a similar interpretation for this transit in both June and July’s horoscope. This is normal and expected. While new months can hold new energy, transits don’t abruptly change because the calendar month changes.
These monthly horoscopes also include an overview paragraph, as well as other energies specific to the month, such as retrogrades, eclipses, or major outer planet transits.
The Highlights section reveals lunar cycle dates. Lunar cycles repeat themselves approximately every 28 days, so it is normal to see the same lunar peaks, such as “Your Personal New Moon” and “Monthly career peak” repeat themselves from month to month, but with different dates. They serve as a helpful guide to cycle peaks in different areas of life, such as financial, career, romance, and partnership.
The horoscopes are divided into three groups or decanates, and the differences between the groups are subtle in parts and large in other parts. For those who prefer a whole sign approach to horoscopes (classic), simply read the first decanate regardless of your birthdate.
