Leo 23
Jul - 22 Aug
NEW YEAR 2010 HOROSCOPE
LEO - 2010
Leo 2010 - Personal
Dynamic, pushy and competitive Mars usually spend about 2 months in each sign. However, Mars has been in Leo, your Sun sign , since October 2009 and will stay there until June 2010, approximately 9 months which is rather unusual. With Mars in your Sun sign, this can be a very dynamic time for you personally, a time to assert yourself and your needs and to get things done. Therefore if you’ve a new project, goal or ambition you’d like to achieve, then with Mars in your sign, you should feel an extra drive and determination to succeed. However, you won’t take kindly to being blocked, frustrated or being told what to do and will fight for what you want and if necessary, will go it alone. Since this is a time for asserting your needs and your priorities, you’ll find you achieve more by working independently, since sparks could fly if you’re forced to make too many compromises, or to co-operate with less dynamic individuals. Since Mars is prone to impatience and impulsiveness, make sure you get good advice before initiating anything major. With Mars retrograde (appearing to move backwards when viewed from earth) between 20 December 2009 and 10 March 2010, try to be patient and take your time and use the early months of 2010 to do your homework and make sure everything is in place and consider waiting until Mars starts to move forward again from mid-March before pushing forward with your agenda. The autumn 2009 also saw the move of Saturn from Virgo, where it has been since 2007, and into Libra, where it will stay, more or less, until 2012. With Saturn in Libra, issues of communication and relationships will be strongly linked. You don’t always communicate what you feel, yet you feel deeply, and what you feel is often very complex. Therefore if you’re serious about commitment and getting involved you may have to work harder at expressing yourself and what you really feel. You’ll want conversations and day-to-day exchanges to become more meaningful and profound. You won’t be in the mood for small talk and may prefer silence to gossip, and you may find that you want others to take what you have to say more seriously. Relatives and neighbours may play a bigger role in your life, and significant encounters are indicted with people in your neighbourhood. Jupiter and Uranus move into Aries briefly during the spring and summer and this should corresponded with a strong urge to discover and explore more of the world, to have new, exciting and different experiences that open your mind and enrich your understanding of life. This is also an excellent period for broadening your horizons through study, teaching, travel and learning about other peoples, their language and cultures and the more unusual and exciting, the better. Jupiter’s presence here also emphasises religious, spiritual, philosophical and metaphysical matters and may correspond with a search for meaning and a quest for knowledge. Since you’ll have enough on your plate in 2010, it may be a good time to take a step back and try not to get too involved in family dramas. You could even find that relations improve, and that you can make a better contribution from the sidelines than when you find yourself caught up in the middle. Those of you considering a move that would free you up financially or emotionally should not let pride prevent you from making the change or down-sizing.
Leo 2010 - Love
Your lust for life, inner-strength and sunny disposition is a source of strength and optimism for others, making you much sought after in troubled times. Being a Leo, you need romance, drama and adventure like a flower needs sunshine, but when you give your heart away, you do so completely and so may resist doing so in case something better turns up later. However, the grass isn’t always greener elsewhere, so if you’re serious about love, maybe you should re-consider your priorities, make your mind up and take the initiative. You’re a bit of a social animal but if your social life or certain friendships are preventing you meeting someone suitable, or influencing your judgement, then maybe it’s time to shake-up your social routine. If you’re already in a relationship, let your partner feel your world revolves around them, and not vice-versa, because there may be occasions when your partner feels left out, especially if you’ve been putting the needs of your friends before your partner. You may have to choose between friendship and love in 2010. With Saturn in Libra next year, it‘s possible you may find Cupid sitting on your doorstep so be open-minded and don’t let a difference in age be an obstacle to love.
Leo 2010 - Work
You may have the opportunity to pursue more than one job or a job with more than one role. Being one of the most sociable signs of the zodiac, your excellent people skills can help you prosper in 2010, because the importance of working relationships is emphasised. Developing contacts, socialising for work and working in partnership should prove beneficial. You’re suited to positions of prominence and leadership and with Mars in Leo, your Sun sign, for the first half of 2010, this would be a good time to try to develop a more independent and public role for yourself where you can show what you can do. However, if you’re starting to feel like a small fish in a big pond, then be prepared to put yourself in the shop window and be open to an opportunity to take a bigger role in a smaller operation. Don’t let pride prevent you from taking a step into the unknown. To get the most satisfaction from your work in 2010, it’s important to establish a regular routine, to be physically active and to feel you’re doing something useful, productive and meaningful.
Leo 2010 - Money and Lifestyle
Money can be your Achilles’ heel. You enjoy socialising and the champagne and caviar lifestyle you know you deserve and you will be in demand socially next year. However, if you feel you’re stretching things too thin, consider stepping out of the limelight occasionally and giving your flexible friend a break. 2010 should bring an improvement on the financial front but caution is advised. Saturn’s move into Libra should correspond with an easing of the financial pressures of recent years, while Jupiter’s presence in Pisces should make it easier for you to get hold of capital, credit and the resources you need to achieve your goals. You may even gain through tax, investments, joint enterprises, a refund or windfall next year. Nevertheless, don’t overextend yourself or get too deep into debt. If you’ve not developed greater financial discipline by the time Saturn returns to Virgo between April and July, you may have to sort out your financial affairs at this time. Therefore don’t let pride become an issue, or an obstacle, when it comes to asking for financial advise or help or when discussing other money matters like pay, contracts and your financial commitments to others.
