Leo Monthly Horoscope May 2018

Leo (Born July 23 to August 2)
AND Leo Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Leo:

May 2018 Leo Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

Overview.

The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness

Until May 21st:

The Sun continues to put a spotlight on your solar tenth house. Satisfaction and fulfillment during this cycle come from doing your professional best, shining as a responsible and capable person, and contributing to the world in practical ways. You might have a chance to receive acknowledgement or praise for your work or good character now. Landing support from authority figures is easier at this time. Avoid the pitfalls of pride or arrogance standing in your way of success.

From May 21st forward:

The Sun lights your solar eleventh house. The Sun illuminates your sector of friends, groups, and dreams coming true this month. It's a sociable sector of your chart, and that's exactly how you are feeling--happy, light-hearted, cosmopolitan, and social. Group affiliations capture your attention. Connections can be made now and networking pays off, or at least satisfies. Being part of a community or circle of friends and building your social network is important to you at this time.

This is a rather happy, goal-oriented cycle. A lively agenda is promised, you're attracting quite a bit of interest, and your energy for making contact with others is high. A stronger sense of community is with you during this cycle. Relationships take on a fun, if impersonal, tone now. Activities with children (especially others' children) may increase. You are more stimulated by all that is unconventional during this cycle, and your ideas are original and progressive now. This is a time to follow your dreams and ideals, and to plant a seed in the form of a wish for the future.

Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort

Until the 19th: 

Venus continues to move through your solar eleventh house. This is a strong time for putting your ego aside and lowering your defenses and simply enjoying people. It's a good time for networking and settling disputes if there are differences to iron out with friends. Cooperation comes easily, and warm friendships can be made during this cycle. Personal freedom is especially important to you right now, and you won't enjoy any associations that limit you. It can also be a good time for earnings from business.

From May 19th forward: 

Venus is spending some time in "hibernation" in your privacy sector. Now, this doesn't necessarily mean that your love life is stagnant, but that your affection is expressed behind closed doors. Attraction to secrets and whispers characterize this period, although for some, it can also be a time of endings, relationship concerns, and wistfulness. Personal and social contacts may be secretive, and there can be secret love affairs, or at least very private love feelings and longings. Shyness can lead to some loneliness or romantic frustration. However, this can also be a deliciously private and intimate time.

Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation

Until the 13th: 

Mercury continues to transit your solar ninth house. During this cycle, you are especially fond of exchanging ideas with others, particularly your personal philosophies. You are inclined to take a broader look at things now, rather than concentrate on the details. You are communicating with more persuasiveness, enthusiasm, and optimism at this time.

From May 13-30: 

Mercury transits your solar tenth house. You are likely thinking a lot about your career and business matters, or your career requires more communication than usual during this cycle. You speak with authority during this period, and you are more accountable than usual for what (and how) you communicate. Your ideas may come into public view now.

Use the power of words to influence authority figures. This is an excellent period for developing career and professional plans or strategies. You may be turned to for advice or for your opinion on important matters. Although approachable and ready to communicate, you are less inclined to chat about frivolous matters now.

You tend to think about your position or standing on a professional level more frequently during this cycle. You are likely doing some multi-tasking regarding career and business matters. Negative use of this influence would be to worry unnecessarily about your reputation and responsibilities.

From May 30th forward: 

Mercury is transiting your solar eleventh house. Your mind is bright, alert, and active during this cycle, and you have the ability to come up with unusual and inventive ideas. Sharing your thoughts with others is a prime interest. Others tend to particularly enjoy your conversations during this transit--you are willing to listen as well as add your own thoughts.

As well, your ability to grasp unusual subject matter and to intuitively understand what others are trying to say win you some brownie points! You could also do a lot of thinking and musing about your own happiness and long-term goals.

Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage

Until May 16th:

Mars continues to animate and energize your solar sixth house. Energy and initiative for work, health, and other daily activities increase. You are self-motivated when it comes to these matters. If there are disagreements and disputes that erupt on the job now, they may be due to a feeling of stress or impatience, or they could come from your desire to get things done independently. It's best to apply energy productively to completing projects that are unfinished or even to get ahead of yourself. It's a strong period for feeling motivated for starting a new health or fitness routine.

From May 16th forward:

Mars energizes and animates your solar seventh house. Partnerships may suffer from ego conflicts, or opposition from others may be challenging. Use the extra energy that Mars brings to this sector of your chart to work cooperatively on relationship problems. You may even find that you seem to need someone's help in order to do what you want to do during this cycle. Relationships are vivacious and dynamic during this period. When a difference arises, you are quick to settle it, and have little patience for sweeping matters under the rug. Your close personal relationships are lively during this cycle--full of conflicts and resolutions or reconciliations.

Overview Horoscope:

May 2018 Monthly Horoscope for Leo: Important themes in May revolve around work, career, reputation, friends, and partnerships, dear Leo. With the Sun at the top of your solar chart in your career sector until the 21st and Mars in your work and health sector up to the 15th, working hard and filling your responsibilities to your utmost are in sharp focus. This is a time for making real progress on achieving your goals.

Mid-month, exciting and perhaps disruptive energy is with you. Disagreements or changing perspectives can figure strongly now as well, possibly pushing you into new territory. A new beginning of sorts and perhaps even a new calling can emerge related to your work. You may be thrust into the spotlight now, or there can be significant happenings with competitors or partners that prompt new approaches to what you do and how you see yourself, too.

You're seeing forward progress with work, travel, and educational plans or endeavors in May, and perhaps some real disruptions. Channels for self-expression open with increased faith on the 5-7. Research and development benefit from your intuitive approach. You quickly gain others' support for your goals or plans, but demands on you can be large. As much as you'd like to be everything to everyone, try not to over-commit yourself. Watch for excesses in particular on the 8th. If you've been spending too much time at home or on yourself, then you may see the need to tone things down a little now so that you can reach out. You also want to shine in your professional life or to move out of your comfort zone and take a few risks now, but it's not always easy to go hard in both areas so you'll need to come to a healthy balance.

Tap into your patience from the 11-13 and find creative ways to make things happen. You're able to see which traits, talents, and projects work best for you now, and your reputation improves as you maneuver these things skillfully. A Mercury-Uranus alignment on the 13th does help you move forward, but you can be abrupt or impulsive. Watch for nervous tension driving decision-making. Jumping into action before getting all the facts can be costly now. Something you learn or a conversation about a philosophical or technical matter can be motivating, though. Mercury moves to the top of your solar chart and will transit there from the 13-29, putting you in great shape for getting a strong message across.

The 14-16 is powerful with the New Moon in your career and reputation sector ushering in a new beginning or fresh start, as well as Uranus moving into the same house, forming a square to Mars which is freshly entering your partnership sector. This energy is impulsive and electric. Uranus changes signs only every seven years, so its move into a new sector of your chart is significant. In fact, it's a once in a lifetime transit. This year, we get a preview of this energy from May to November, and it will return more consistently starting in March 2019. This long-term transit suggests some unpredictability with your career, professional projects, reputation, or public image, but these areas can also be highly stimulating and innovative. You can bring fresh insight to your work. Partnerships, competition, or a relationship goal can spur you on now. Significant changes are in the works.

During this seven-year Uranus transit, you may take an unexpected turn or direction with your work. Sudden or unforeseen career opportunities are possible. Some of you will be discovering your "true calling."

Mars moving into your partnership sector from the 16th forward enlivens your close relationships. This transit will last much longer than the usual two months due to an upcoming retrograde of Mars that starts in June, so you'll be doing a whole lot of exploring partnerships and the energy you get from others in your life for the next while. Watch for hasty choices now, especially since some of the decisions you're making in May will come up for review this summer. You may be attracting aggressive or assertive people into your life. They might be coming on strong, and then pulling back. Conflicts about give-and-take in an existing partnership can emerge.

Use the 17-19 to get your head together and to draw up plans. You're a bit more grounded at this time. Venus moves into your privacy sector from the 19th forward, and you may need some emotional space, but you're not against enjoying company. It can be a great time for enjoying private moments. You tend to help, service, and support others, rather quietly and automatically right now. You appreciate the more hidden or subtle elements of your life, interactions, and emotions.

This can also be a good time for teaming up to get things done. The Sun moves into your friendship sector on the 21st, and with Mars already in your partnership sector, the last week ten days of May are likely to be active socially.

Even so, a Jupiter-Neptune transit in force at this time calls your attention to your support system once again. The theme of this longer-term influence is supportive, imaginative, and even a bit magical. It aids you in strengthening and making the most of the positive effects of Jupiter's transit to your home and family sector. There may be increased resources available to you for improving your home life. Your finances might improve, possibly due to shared efforts or combined income. There can be more power and resources available to you to establish yourself through a home, property, or long-term business endeavor. You are in need of a spiritual or creative escape from time to time, and this influence nudges you to seek it out.

The Full Moon in Sagittarius on the 29th can be a particularly romantic and creative one. You're awakening to your feelings about a person or project, and this can set you on a new path. And, the last day of May is brilliant for ideas and enterprise, mainly related to a partner, friend, or team.

Leo (Born August 3 to 12)
AND Leo Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Leo:

May 2018 Leo Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

Overview.

The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness

All month:

The Sun illuminates your career and reputation sector. More than any other time of the year, your focus is drawn to your "place" or standing in the outer world, and your reputation. This is the time when you are more interested in, and focused on, accomplishing something important. Your competency is something that you are especially sensitive to during this cycle.

You want to shine! Your vision is practical right now, and you want to see tangible results for your efforts. More contact with authority figures is likely during this period. Recognition is likely to come your way whether you ask for it or not, and the responsibility that comes right along with it! Do what you feel is right, keeping in mind that you are at your most visible during this period in the year.

Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort

Until the 3rd: 

Venus continues to transit your solar tenth house. Relationships with authority figures, superiors, and with the public are in focus during this cycle. It's a strong period for diplomatic relations, although a negative expression of this position could be bending over backwards to please rather than positive, friendly relations. It's a time when being a team player reaps the most rewards, and you may be mixing business with pleasure now. This may be a time when you are especially enjoying your career or position and making the most of it.

From May 3-28: 

Venus graces your solar eleventh house now. Forming harmonious, warm social friendships, possibly related to group activities within a club, can figure now. You may meet someone through such group activities; consequently, your interests will be shared. Whether or not you do, the bottom line is that sharing interests with someone is what makes you happy during this cycle. Venus here enlivens your friendships and group associations with charm and grace. You are more peace-loving than usual and slightly detached on a personal level. If a romance were to begin during this time frame, it would be characterized by a strong feeling of camaraderie, but it could also be rather impersonal and perhaps lacking in depth and intimacy.

From May 28th forward: 

Venus is spending some time in "hibernation" in your privacy sector. Now, this doesn't necessarily mean that your love life is stagnant, but that your affection is expressed behind closed doors. Attraction to secrets and whispers characterize this period, although for some, it can also be a time of endings, relationship concerns, and wistfulness. Personal and social contacts may be secretive, and there can be secret love affairs, or at least very private love feelings and longings. Shyness can lead to some loneliness or romantic frustration. However, this can also be a deliciously private and intimate time.

Until May 19th:

You are inclined to take a broader look at things now, rather than concentrate on the details. You are communicating with more persuasiveness, enthusiasm, and optimism at this time.

Leo (Born August 13 to 22)
AND Leo Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Leo:

May 2018 Leo Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

Overview.

The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness

Until May 10th:

The Sun continues to shine its light on your solar ninth house now. This is a cycle in which you seek to expand your experiences and awareness, whether through philosophical thinking, higher education, travel, or simply activities that take you away from your everyday routines. You may feel a little restless if you don't find ways to explore.

It's an excellent period for looking at your life from a different perspective--a broader one--whether you initiate this process or you make contact with others who stimulate you to think about your circumstances differently. Your energy is strong, open, and friendly right now, you come across well to others, and you are a little bolder and adventurous than usual.

From May 10th forward:

The Sun illuminates your career and reputation sector. More than any other time of the year, your focus is drawn to your "place" or standing in the outer world, and your reputation. This is the time when you are more interested in, and focused on, accomplishing something important. Your competency is something that you are especially sensitive to during this cycle.

Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation

Until the 6th: 

Mercury continues to transit your solar eighth house. The ability to analyze and rationalize some of the deeper elements inside yourself and in your intimate life now can benefit you. This is also a good time for sorting out finances, particularly money shared or coming from other sources other than your own personal income.

You might particularly enjoy discussing topics that you typically don't verbalize with someone special during this cycle. Anything taboo, mysterious, or puzzling can be especially fascinating for you just now. You have little interest in small talk. You are more aware of subtleties and nuances during this cycle, and you can use this increased insightfulness to improve your life.

From the 6-25: 

Mercury transits your solar ninth house. Not content to focus on mundane, practical affairs just now, your mind turns to bigger visions, thoughts, and ideals. You are open to expanding your knowledge base during this cycle, and communications from or with someone far away may be part of the picture.

You are putting everything into perspective now, rather than compartmentalizing. Instead of simply shooting the breeze, you are more inclined to discuss broader philosophies now. Your inclination during this cycle is to think about the "big picture" rather than the mundane circumstances and details of your life. Missing appointments and other forms of forgetfulness could be part of the picture now.

From May 25th forward: 

Mercury transits your solar tenth house. You are likely thinking a lot about your career and business matters, or your career requires more communication than usual during this cycle. You speak with authority during this period, and you are more accountable than usual for what (and how) you communicate. Your ideas may come into public view now.

Use the power of words to influence authority figures. This is an excellent period for developing career and professional plans or strategies. You may be turned to for advice or for your opinion on important matters. Although approachable and ready to communicate, you are less inclined to chat about frivolous matters now.
