Leo Horoscope ~ January 2010

Leo

This isn’t your favourite time of the year to socialise and with the New Year full moon in your domestic house you may well feel a bit run down and looking forward to getting back to ‘normal’ after the festivities.

Mars has been moving retrograde in your sign since the last week or so of December and it has slowed your pace down. This will continue throughout January during which time you’ll feel more like hibernating that energetic pursuits. With Venus travelling hand and with you ruler the Sun for most of the month however, you can still enjoy this period so long as you place no high expectations of yourself. In fact on 11th you will be quite focussed upon your goals and be feeling positive about your prospects going forwards, even if things do seem to be moving slowly at the moment.

As for many others you won’t feel 2010 has really begun until around the 15th when the New Moon occurs. This is a great time to consider getting fitter, healthier and start to look after yourself more. Any regimes begun on this date or the few days following are likely to be maintained, so do use this time.

When Jupiter moves into Pisces on the 18th you will begin to feel more in-tune with yourself again and able to reach out to others and procure greater intimacy. This is the beginning of 12 months in which you will learn more about your deeper motivations and how you relate to others, shared finances will improve and so will relationships. With the Sun also moving into your opposite sign on 20th partnership and romance will start to improve also, however this is not an ideal month to begin relationships. Your focus is best kept on the self.

Sometimes when the natural forces seem against us we begin to consider very new approaches and way to operate in the world and whilst these times are not always fun, they lead to far greater success down the line. Live in the moment and work with what you have, your time will come to shine again soon.

Use your magnanimity to charm others, especially during the last few days of the month when your positive persona and natural charm will be of great benefit to those in the throes of confusion on 25th and will help lighten the mood for the days which follow also.

From 29th to 31st you may find you are dragged into confrontations with others, try to stay calm and collected. The Moon in your sign on 30th and 31st will be in your favour so empathy and consideration will prevail and resolve most disputes. The 31st could be an accident prone day, so lie low and have a lazy Sunday. Most people will be out of sorts so take stock and try not to take anything too personally, 2010 will be a far better year for you, it just needs a little while to gather momentum!
