2024: Leo Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

Key Events in 2024 for Leo:

Outer Planet Transits:

Jupiter conjuncts Uranus in April and is parallel Uranus in early May.These influences encourage high spirits. We’re ready to discover, explore, and innovate. This transit is exciting, futuristic, and original. The need for progressive change becomes glaringly apparent under this influence. It’s a time when we’re itching to update, refresh, and renew ourselves, projects, circ*mstances, and connections.

We might take risks (perhaps, but not necessarily, foolish ones) for the sake of freedom during this transit. We could too easily avoid taking responsibility for things that truly matter, or we could feel exceptionally restless.

We’re open to new energies, approaches, and attitudes under the influence of this transit. Fortunate events occur as a direct result of our willingness to entertain the unusual and to think outside of the box. We are feeling brave, positive, and optimistic. Enthusiasm runs high, the desire for freedom from restrictions is strong, and thirst for adventure is with us.

For Leo, this excitement can relate to your relationships, as Jupiter is your romance ruler and Uranus is your partnership ruler, and they’re coming together at the top of your chart. A relationship can make a splash at this time. However, it can also (or instead) be about your career, life path, status, responsibilities, or reputation. A surprise promotion, change of direction, or recognition can be in store. Others are especially attracted to your visionary and confident approach.

Jupiter forms a sextile with Neptune in May. Jupiter is expanding our desire for security, comfort, abundance, earthy or sensual experiences, money, and material things while in the sign of Taurus. As it harmonizes with spiritual Neptune in Pisces, we’re more likely to factor in our spiritual values and need for imagination, romance, and concern or compassion for others into our pursuit. We are inclined to see the good in people and situations.

For you, Leo, inner changes reflect well on the outside. It’s a brilliant time for support or advancement. You see the romance, imagination, and beauty in your connections, goals, and aspirations.

Jupiter forms a trine to Pluto in early June, and it’s easier to tap into our hidden talents or desires. As we do, we embrace new directions or pursuits. We’re discovering our ambitions and motivations, and it’s an enjoyable, productive experience. It’s a time when we strive to improve, grow, and bring something to the next level. A desire for more personal significance can lead us to give of ourselves or motivate us to more ambitiously pursue personal or professional goals. We can be opportunistic–it’s easier than usual to recognize opportunities because we’re looking to advance.

For Leo, this boost relates most to your social life, communications, mind or outlook, partnerships, and connections. You have more personal influence in groups, with friends, and with a partner. Your social life and relationship needs or goals are evolving and transforming in delightful ways.

Jupiter forms a square with Saturn in August, with Mars involved, and again in December,and circ*mstances are such that we must restructure our lives or plans in accordance with rules, laws, limits, and the demands of reality.

It’s best to breathe new life into old plans rather than to strike out with a new plan altogether during this period. We may need to cut back on something in order to grow in another area. It’s important not to overextend ourselves at this time and to avoid attempting easy fixes or shortcuts. The need to adjust our expectations becomes obvious.

For Leo, intimate relationships or an increased need for privacy or exclusiveness can be impacting friendships and social goals–and vice versa! The answer may be to simplify or cut back on something, even if this is not the easiest choice. There can be difficulties, possibly power struggles or concerns about betrayal or boundaries. The desire to enjoy friendships and sharing is with you, but something or someone may hold you back or temporarily stand in your way. The key now is to look for ways to simplify your life, remembering that quality is more important than quantity in many areas of life.

Jupiter forms a sextile with Chiron in October & November, bringing healing magic to our lives. Ourattempts to broaden our horizons through such experiences as furthering our education, expanded activities, and spirituality, contribute much to our personal growth.

This subtly uplifting time brings us the opportunity to free ourselves from restrictive and negative attitudes that have been undermining our progress. We are especially open to learning from others, and better able to help others to understand our point of view. We might open our minds to different perspectives and philosophies.We are absorbing and possibly sharing what we’ve learned from past experiences and mistakes.

For Leo, it’s a powerful time to learn, guide, share, and connect–and to heal through these experiences.

Other significant influences and minor transits:

Mars is retrograde from December 6th, 2024, to February 223rd, 2025, in the signs of Leo and Cancer (pre-retrograde shadow begins October 4th). We can feel stuck on past relationships or situations, finding it difficult to move ahead. Slowdowns, reparations, and reconsiderations are significant now, particularly related to your personal plans. You may need to manage weighty issues and delays.

There can be some backtracking and challenges surfacing that relate to anger management, presentation, personal reputation, health, the pursuit of your desires, and self-assertion or courage in the 2024 portion of this retrograde cycle. Frustration with goals not manifesting soon enough might emerge, when in fact this retrograde period is reliable for making necessary edits to your plans. You may feel less effective before things get much better.

Refocusing and review become necessary and recommended during this period.

Please note that these key dates are synopses — quick summaries of astro-events — that are covered more in-depth in the monthly horoscopes and daily horoscopes.

See also see your Leo Preview Horoscope for 2024, as well as Leo Love Horoscope for 2024. The horoscope on this page, Leo Yearly, shows the trends and predictions for the year in detail. Because outer planet transits are lengthy, there are variations in the timing of outer planet transits for each of the three decansof Leo, and these are shown below the main, general forecast.

Themes are developing in interesting ways for you in 2024, dear Leo. Every year, we see challenges and opportunities in different areas. It’s my hope that by understanding these areas of potential disruption and ease, you can make the most of these trends by seeking out the opportunities and managing the challenges.

Leos are spontaneous but loyal, and they are proud of who they are and what they do. They have big hearts and so much to give, and they go for the gold! This year, you have Chiron, the North Node, and, from May 25th forward, Jupiter in harmony with your sign, boosting your self-honesty, optimism, healing powers, and enthusiasm.

Again this year, Pluto is on its slow way toward an opposition to Leo, putting some pressure on you, largely via your partnerships. As well, Uranus continues to challenge your sign, bringing unpredictability to your life path. However, Jupiter continues its transit in the same area of your solar chart as Uranus until May 25th this year, and you can see great benefits to your career, reputation, and responsibilities. Certainly,

The following chart shows the outer planets and other points in relation to your sign, revealing whether they are harmonizing with or challenging Leo:

Leo 2024

Grey is neutral (no direct relationship, but can be picky, nagging),

Pink is challenging (the planet is in direct, challenging relationship to your sign),

and Green is easy and supportive (the planet or point is in a direct, harmonious relationship with your sign).

These tables change from year to year, although some influences span many years.

As is evident in the above chart, there is a mix of harmony, disharmony, and neutral influences with slightly more emphasis on challenges.

Jupiter=Luck, Confidence,
Expansion, Growth, Hope, Improvement, Spirit

Saturn=Restriction, Structure, Simplicity, Realism

Uranus=Innovation, Excitement, Unrest, Rebellion, Change

Neptune=Inspiration, Spirit, Confusion, Dissolution, Enlightenment

Pluto=Upheaval, Transformation, Rebirth, Unearthing, Excavation, Power

Chiron=Vulnerability, Wisdom, Healing, Wholeness, Non-conformity

North Node=Life Lesson, Growth, Improvement, Challenge

Overview: Harmony and Challenge of Outer Planets:

Saturn continues to oppose your sign, asking you to get serious about a partnership, but moves on in early March. Jupiter divides its time between your adventure and career sectors, supporting your spirit and life path efforts.

Your solar tenth house has a powerful, somewhat erratic, and individualistic guest: Uranus. As such, your career, professional status, life path, and reputation are not going to be a status-quo year. You are doing these things quite differently again this year, and while disruptive at times, it’s exciting.

But this year brings Jupiter to the same area of your chart, beginning in mid-May, and you’re making the very best of these circ*mstances. It’s a beneficial and pivotal year for your reputation, status, career, and life path.

You’re moving toward expressing yourself on professional or public levels in more authentic and independent ways. Themes of awakening to your true calling are with you a little more strongly, but mostly positively. You’re moving just a little out of your comfort zone, and the explorations and discovery involved can be most rewarding.

This is a powerful year for responsibilities, business, reputation, career, social life, friendships, and happiness pursuits. Go big in these areas, but know your limits!

**The following horoscopes reveal the outer planet, long-term trends for each decan. While Jupiter transits last just over a year, the remaining outer planet transits last several years (an average of 2-1/2 years for Saturn, 7 years for Uranus, and so forth). This is why you can see some of the same trends continuing from previous years.

Note also that while the degrees of decans are precise, the dates are necessarily approximate since they vary slightly from birth year to birth year.

If you prefer horoscopes using the Whole sign rather than the decan approach, simply read the first decan interpretation regardless of the degree of your Sun or Ascendant.

2024: Leo Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

Until May 25th:

Jupiter continues to move through your solar tenth house. Increased public recognition and professional success characterize this position. This can be a time of achievement, career advancement, and success in business. Business-related travel or the reaching of a wider audience is possible during this cycle.

Your worldly or public status may change for the better. There could be a promotion, new job opportunities, a diploma, an important award, or marriage. You may come into the limelight. Authority figures or other influential people tend to look upon you favorably, see more potential in you, and readily help you along, so work it!

Something might happen now, or circ*mstances are such, that your career (or professional interests in general) expands, and you find more joy and pleasure from your work. You could enjoy more freedom, or possibly even responsibilities, in your career. Integrity, directness, and honesty will get you everywhere now.

The more willing you are to put yourself in the limelight, the more positive the rewards—this is not the time to be a shrinking violet! These positive circ*mstances won't necessarily fall into your lap and are unlikely to come all at once. You need to keep your eyes open for opportunities in these areas of life.

Your hard work and effort can be recognized now, and you could find yourself in a position that truly suits you. For some of you, more prestige or a higher social standing may be part of the picture now.

From May 25th forward:

Jupiter, the planet of growth and expansion, is in your solar eleventh house. During this longer-term cycle, this transit brings benefits and fresh energy to networking activities, the formulation of broad, long-term goals, acquaintances, clubs, and organizations in your life. You can rely on your friends for their help and support, and your circle of friends could most certainly increase during this fruitful transit.

Your long-term goals and wishes tend to be broad and perhaps unusual or ahead of the times during this cycle. You may particularly enjoy dreaming up ideas for the future. Achieving your goals tends to come more readily. Others especially value your advice and often turn to you for help.

You could become more active with friends or in your community. You may have opportunities to join or lead clubs or groups. Group activities and associations could be avenues for fulfilling your goals, and you may very effectively find your voice through them. You may take special joy in sharing a common cause or ideals with others. You are especially hopeful and more inclined to believe that if you wish it, it will be! Income from your business or career is likely to increase.

You might be more tolerant of others in general and of differences in values. Reaching out beyond your personal circle can certainly open doors to you and bring joy into your life during this cycle.

These positive circ*mstances won't necessarily fall into your lap and are unlikely to come all at once. You need to keep your eyes open for opportunities in these areas of life.

Also, Jupiter can bring too much of a good thing at times, and you might find that your social agenda is crammed or that you have taken on more friends or goals than you can reasonably handle.

Jupiter transits sextile your Sun. This is a feel-good transit that offers you opportunities to rise above petty concerns and to achieve a more balanced approach to your life. Relationships with others tend to be easygoing, friendly, and positive. It's natural for you to cooperate with others, and others find it easy to cooperate with you! This is a time when you really enjoy life, appreciating the good things and rarely harping on the more inconvenient or annoying elements of life.

The most favorable periods for these matters occur while Jupiter is in direct motion in your solar 11th house from May 25-October 8th.

Saturn transits your solar eighth house all year. This influence began last year and will continue until early 2026.

All year:

Saturn asks us to follow at least some of the rules, be responsible, and pick up our socks wherever he's found in the chart. Saturn spends approximately 2-1/2 years in a sign.In your solar eighth house now, this is a period when getting what you want from others can be challenging, as you ultimately are learning to rely on yourself. You are likely to be more sensitive to what appear to be outer world pressures that force you to examine some of your deepest desires and attachments. These include your sexual relationships, your finances (especially with regards to debts and shared finances/support), and your need for control. You may face some difficulties satisfying your libido and/or encounter problems with intimacy. These pressures are "designed" to make you more aware of your desire nature, and what exactly it is you truly want.

Dissatisfaction and frustrations getting what you want, especially concerning relationships with others and your resources, often characterize the first part of the transit. You may discover that previous methods of controlling your environment and the people in your life are just not aseffective anymore. You may not even be aware exactly how you have been employing power and control before this transit.

Saturn's presence in this sector of your chart also urges you to organize your finances. On a psychological level, you face some of your fears that are compulsive—those concerns that lead you to believe you need certain things to survive. Taxes might be an issue during this period. Facing the realities of debt may be another. Some of you may be supporting a partner, or a partner could be earning a little less. Towards the end of this transit, you will have eliminated some deep-seated habits and attachments that have been keeping you back from feeling emotionally free. You emerge healthier and stronger. When we give in to compulsive behaviors, we give up self-control, and guilt undermines our lives. We are not ourselves. By attempting to control others, we give away our own power over ourselves.

Tests can come to your financial and intimate worlds during this cycle. You may be dealing with fears of surrendering yourself, emotionally or financially, to others. Support from others may not be as forthcoming as it has been in the past. For example, a partner's income may decrease, or another form of financial support may no longer be available during this period. This requires you to assume more independence regarding making a living. For some, a line of study is coming to an end, and there is a need to take the next step.

Emotionally, there can be a feeling that others are not quite as supportive. There can be delays or difficulties in general when it comes to getting what you want or need from others. Intimacy may seem to dry up a tad before it gets better. However, it's a strong time for handling financial matters, especially debts and taxes, logically and realistically. You'll find that you waste considerably less energy by facing up to realities rather than living your life procrastinating and feeling vaguely guilty all of the time. It's an excellent time for sorting through your finances and dealing with the power dynamics in a partnership more equitably.

By the end of this transit, you are likely to feel considerably healthier on an emotional level. Ideally, you will have nixed some of your addictions, and mastered your superstitions. You will feel more powerful because you have given up attempting to control things you cannot or should not control, and you will have gained a feeling of self-mastery instead.

Uranus continues its transit of your solar tenth house this year.

Your career direction changes and your relationships with authority figures can be animated and dynamicduring this long-term cycle. Do your best to avoid impulsive decision-making that is built solely upon your desire to be a free spirit. However, it's also important to make changes that accommodate your new independent outlook - my advice is to do it but avoid going overboard on this. You may recognize talents that you never knew you had, and this can be a sudden, exciting discovery!

Your career, professional projects, reputation, and public image appear to speed up, stimulate, and open up this year. These areas of life can be unpredictable - the wild card area of your life - but also highly stimulating and innovative. You can bring fresh insight into your work. You can also learn to let go of limiting self-consciousness. As long as you don't push it too far, you can free yourself from some of the fears you have of not living up to others' expectations, particularly those of parents or society in general.

This may be a time when you take an unexpected turn in your work. Make sure you don't jump on a bandwagon that is impractical. Also, while you prefer to set your own pace in your work, try not to become a loner in your professional life. Others can have important input.

Your goals and objectives can take a real curve now. You seek to carve out your own path in your profession, and there can be interesting changes, rearrangements, or new directions.

Neptunecontinues its lengthy transit through your solar eighth house this year.

Neptune here cancast some fog over your debts to others or your intimate life. You may encounter some challenges regarding shared finances or property. A loan or other form of support may come through unexpectedly, even in a mysterious fashion. Intimate relationships can be highly colorful, perhaps with spiritual undercurrents, but possibly a little confusing at times during this long-term transit. Sometimes it's about shared assets or support. The boundaries that are normally drawn between what's yours/what's mine may be blurred somewhat at this time. A partner might have unsettled finances, and this could impact your own finances, for example. Do be wary of anything that even slightly resembles fraud. Lending others money may be a lesson in frustration during this cycle. Otherwise, this is a time for learning much about dependencies, addictions, dreams, inner motivations, and power dynamics.

The acute elements of this influence are long behind you.

Pluto continues its lengthy transit of your solar sixth house this year until January 20th and then from September 1st to November 19th. The acute elements of this transit are long behind you.

This transit brings gradual but profound changes to your daily routines and habits. You should certainly watch for straining yourself by working too hard when Pluto itself is strained or under pressure. During the course of this very long-term transit, you are learning about new ways of approaching health matters, particularly by uncovering root or core issues. Your work and habits are also evolving in important ways. This is a good period for ridding yourself of bad habits or routines, but be careful that you don't replace one bad habit with another!

Expectations transform this year. Intensity and passion are craved now, and mediocre will no longer do it for you with your work, health, and habits.

Pluto began its slow transition into the next house of your solar chart last year. In 2024, this occurs from January 20th to September 1st and November 19th forward:

Pluto's lengthy transit of your solar seventh house suggests that you're likely to be facing the deeper, and possibly darker, elements of your own personality through your close interactions with another. There can be power struggles and the facing of fears before eventual healing.

As well, the influence of Pluto in your seventh house can point to taking a casual romantic affair to a new level. Major changes in the structure of your close personal relationships, and in your attitude towards them, are in store.

All year, the North Node transits your solar ninth house, and this suggests that some of the greatest joys - and challenges - come through your belief systems, religion, or perspective. This is a time for building your faith and understanding where you stand as well as what you believe in.

2024: Leo Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

From February 21st to July 9th,

Jupiter, the planet of growth and expansion, is in your solar tenth house. During this cycle,increased public recognition and professional success are very possible. This can be a time of achievement, career advancement, and success in business. Business-related travel or the reaching of a wider audience is possible during this cycle. Your worldly or public status may change for the better. There could be a promotion, new job opportunities, a diploma, an important award, or marriage.

This can be a time for coming into the limelight in a significant way.

Your hard work and effort can be recognized now, and you could find yourself in a position that truly suits you, and this can be especially true for your talents, reliability, and practical insight.

For some of you, more prestige or a higher social standing may be part of the picture now. You can take great pride in the work you do. This is a time when believing in yourself, your competency, and your ability to take the lead opens up opportunities to you. It's a powerful period for innovation and progress.

From July 9th forward:

Jupiter, the planet of growth and expansion, is in your solar eleventh house.

Jupiter transits sextile your Sun. This is a feel-good transit that offers you opportunities to rise above petty concerns and to achieve a more balanced approach to your life. Relationships with others tend to be easygoing, friendly, and positive. It's natural for you to cooperate with others, and others find it easy to cooperate with you! This is a time when you really enjoy life, appreciating the good things and rarely harping on the more inconvenient or annoying elements of life.

Saturn transits your solar seventh house until February 29th. This influence is typically felt most strongly in the first year of its influence – for your decan, it’s in the past, and you’re more comfortable with this energy. Further, this transit comes to an end.

Saturn motivates us to do "spring cleaning" in the areas of life it touches. In your case, significant one-to-one relationships need to be considered and understood during this transit. This is a time when you're called to define, understand, and crystallize your significant relationships with others. If you have a partner, this is a time when any issues surrounding compromise, flexibility, and the ability to give your heart to your partner will surface. Initial frustration in the early stages of this transit may take the form of feeling criticized and "examined" in this area of life. By the end of the transit, however, you will have learned much about commitment and compromise. Single people are likely to feel the initial pressures of Saturn transiting the seventh house as well. A feeling of loneliness is possible in either situation (whether you have/had a significant partnership or not), but instead of an issue of re-committing, the single person will seriously think about commitment in general. If involved in a casual love relationship, when Saturn transits the seventh, a pressure emerges concerning the need for evaluating your commitments. Often this transit corresponds with an urge (or pressure) to make a commitment or a recommitment.

Healthy partnerships can be the outcome of this transit, whether they are new ones or strengthened existing partnerships. Saturn always brings with it a fair measure of reality and objectivity, so that whatever relationships you may have now or want to have will be defined and re-defined. Relationships are seen now as serious matters! Partners are no longer mirrors of the ego. Responsibilities to partners, the need to compromise, and the realities of the needs of others, become clear. You see others as individualsand feel compelled to improve the manner in which you relate to and with others. Depending on your age and life circ*mstances, "significant partnerships" can mean partnerships with loved ones, business partnerships, one-on-one counseling, and deep friendships. By the end of this transit this year, quantity in the relationship department will have been replaced with quality, and this process involves time, soul-searching, frustration, and eventual fulfillment.

This is a time when you may not see the especially flattering side of a partner, or of yourself in response. A partner might feel like a "heavy" in your life, and any feelings of restriction that you feel or have felt in this area of life may seem magnified in your mind now. A partner might also seem cautious, distant, critical, or defensive. You need to open your mind to the possibility that a significant other is providing you with important life lessons - about traditions, simplifying your life, and responsibilities. While this might seem difficult now, you might later look back on this time of your life as a learning experience, and it's best not to automatically discard what someone has to say. Take your time on this one. If, however, a partner is challenging you to the point of breaking, then steps need to be taken to improve the situation.

A relationship can encounter some tests or complications, but if it's strong, it will weather the storm and you could decide to take it to another level. If not, remember that relationships "lost" during a Saturn transit to your partnership sector on some level have run their course and need to end. Some of you could be making a commitment to someone, and others may decide that a traditional partnership is not for you. This is not a period of status quo in your relationships - something is decided now. You may be seeing the soberingside of a relationship, significant person, or yourself through a relationship! If it's very uncomfortable, now is the time to make changes.

Saturn transits your solar eighth house from March 1st forward. This influence is typically felt most strongly in the first year of its influence – for your decan, that’s this year.

Saturn asks us to follow at least some of the rules, be responsible, and pick up our socks wherever he's found in the chart.

This may be a time when you take an unexpected turn in your work. Make sure you don't jump on a bandwagon that is impractical. Also, while you prefer to set your own pace in your work, try not to become a loner in your professional life. Others can have important input.

Your goals and objectives can take a real curve now. You seek to carve out your own path in your profession, and there can be interesting changes, rearrangements, or new directions.

Neptunecontinues its lengthy transit through your solar eighth house.

Neptune here cancast some fog over your debts to others or your intimate life. You may encounter some challenges regarding shared finances or property. A loan or other form of support may come through unexpectedly, even in a mysterious fashion. Intimate relationships can be highly colorful, perhaps with spiritual undercurrents, but possibly a little confusing at times during this long-term transit. Sometimes it's about shared assets or support. The boundaries that are normally drawn between what's yours/what's mine may be blurred somewhat at this time. A partner might have unsettled finances, and this could impact your own finances, for example. Do be wary of anything that even slightly resembles fraud. Lending others money may be a lesson in frustration during this cycle. Otherwise, this is a time for learning much about dependencies, addictions, dreams, inner motivations, and power dynamics.

Pluto continues its lengthy transit of your solar sixth house this year.

This transit brings gradual but profound changes to your daily routines and habits. You should certainly watch for straining yourself by working too hard when Pluto itself is strained or under pressure. During the course of this very long-term transit, you are learning about new ways of approaching health matters, particularly by uncovering root or core issues. Your work and habits are also evolving in important ways. This is a good period for ridding yourself of bad habits or routines, but be careful that you don't replace one bad habit with another!

Expectations transform this year. Intensity and passion are craved now, and mediocre will no longer do it for you with your work, health, and habits.

The acute elements of this Pluto transit are behind you in 2024.

Until July 15th, the North Node transits your solar ninth house, and this suggests that some of the greatest joys - and challenges - come through your belief systems, religion, or perspective. This is a time for building your faith and understanding where you stand as well as what you believe in.

From July 15th onward, the North Node transits your solar eighth house, and this suggests that some of the greatest joys - and challenges - come through your attachments to others, your own feelings of being empowered, and your ability to share yourself with others.

Leo (Born August 13 to 22) – 20 to 30 degrees Leo (3rd DECAN):

2024: Leo Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

From April 12th forward,

Jupiter, the planet of growth and expansion, is in your solar tenth house. During this cycle,increased public recognition and professional success are very possible. This can be a time of achievement, career advancement, and success in business. Business-related travel or the reaching of a wider audience is possible during this cycle. Your worldly or public status may change for the better. There could be a promotion, new job opportunities, a diploma, an important award, or marriage.

This can be a time for coming into the limelight in a significant way. Authority figures or other influential people tend to look upon you favorably, see more potential in you, and readily help you along, so work it! Something might happen now, or circ*mstances are such, that your career (or professional interests in general) expands, and you find more joy and pleasure from your work.

You could enjoy more freedom, or possibly even responsibilities, in your career. Integrity, directness, and honesty will get you everywhere now. The more willing you are to put yourself in the limelight, the more positive the rewards--this is not the time to be a shrinking violet!

These positive circ*mstances won't necessarily fall into your lap and are unlikely to come all at once. You need to keep your eyes open for opportunities in these areas of life.

Your hard work and effort can be recognized now, and you could find yourself in a position that truly suits you, and this can be especially true for your talents, reliability, and practical insight.

For some of you, more prestige or a higher social standing may be part of the picture now. You can take great pride in the work you do. This is a time when believing in yourself, your competency, and your ability to take the lead opens up opportunities to you. It's a powerful period for innovation and progress.

Saturn transits your solar seventh house this year.

Saturn motivates us to do "spring cleaning" in the areas of life it touches. In your case, significant one-to-one relationships need to be considered and understood during this transit. This is a time when you're called to define, understand, and crystallize your significant relationships with others. If you have a partner, this is a time when any issues surrounding compromise, flexibility, and the ability to give your heart to your partner will surface. Initial frustration in the early stages of this transit may take the form of feeling criticized and "examined" in this area of life. By the end of the transit, however, you will have learned much about commitment and compromise. Single people are likely to feel the initial pressures of Saturn transiting the seventh house as well. A feeling of loneliness is possible in either situation (whether you have/had a significant partnership or not), but instead of an issue of re-committing, the single person will seriously think about commitment in general. If involved in a casual love relationship, when Saturn transits the seventh, a pressure emerges concerning the need for evaluating your commitments. Often this transit corresponds with an urge (or pressure) to make a commitment or a recommitment.

Healthy partnerships can be the outcome of this transit, whether they are new ones or strengthened existing partnerships. Saturn always brings with it a fair measure of reality and objectivity, so that whatever relationships you may have now or want to have will be defined and re-defined. Relationships are seen now as serious matters! Partners are no longer mirrors of the ego. Responsibilities to partners, the need to compromise, and the realities of the needs of others, become clear. You see others as individualsand feel compelled to improve the manner in which you relate to and with others. Depending on your age and life circ*mstances, "significant partnerships" can mean partnerships with loved ones, business partnerships, one-on-one counseling, and deep friendships. By the end of this transit this year, quantity in the relationship department will have been replaced with quality, and this process involves time, soul-searching, frustration, and eventual fulfillment.

This is a time when you may not see the especially flattering side of a partner, or of yourself in response. A partner might feel like a "heavy" in your life, and any feelings of restriction that you feel or have felt in this area of life may seem magnified in your mind now. A partner might also seem cautious, distant, critical, or defensive. You need to open your mind to the possibility that a significant other is providing you with important life lessons - about traditions, simplifying your life, and responsibilities. While this might seem difficult now, you might later look back on this time of your life as a learning experience, and it's best not to automatically discard what someone has to say. Take your time on this one. If, however, a partner is challenging you to the point of breaking, then steps need to be taken to improve the situation.

A relationship can encounter some tests or complications, but if it's strong, it will weather the storm and you could decide to take it to another level. If not, remember that relationships "lost" during a Saturn transit to your partnership sector on some level have run their course and need to end. Some of you could be making a commitment to someone, and others may decide that a traditional partnership is not for you. This is not a period of status quo in your relationships - something is decided now. You may be seeing the soberingside of a relationship, significant person, or yourself through a relationship! If it's very uncomfortable, now is the time to make changes.

Uranus continues its transit of your tenth house this year.

All year:

Your career direction changes and your relationships with authority figures can be animated and dynamicduring this long-term cycle. Do your best to avoid impulsive decision-making that is built solely upon your desire to be a free spirit. However, it's also important to make changes that accommodate your new independent outlook - my advice is to do it but avoid going overboard on this. You may recognize talents that you never knew you had, and this can be a sudden, exciting discovery!

Your career, professional projects, reputation, and public image appear to speed up, stimulate, and open up this year. These areas of life can be unpredictable - the wild card area of your life - but also highly stimulating and innovative. You can bring fresh insight into your work. You can also learn to let go of limiting self-consciousness. As long as you don't push it too far, you can free yourself from some of the fears you have of not living up to others' expectations, particularly those of parents or society in general.

This may be a time when you take an unexpected turn in your work. Make sure you don't jump on a bandwagon that is impractical. Also, while you prefer to set your own pace in your work, try not to become a loner in your professional life. Others can have important input.

Your goals and objectives can take a real curve now. You seek to carve out your own path in your profession, and there can be interesting changes, rearrangements, or new directions.

Neptunetransits your solareighthhouse this year:

Neptune here cancast some fog over your debts to others or your intimate life. You may encounter some challenges regarding shared finances or property. A loan or other form of support may come through unexpectedly, even in a mysterious fashion. Intimate relationships can be highly colorful, perhaps with spiritual undercurrents, but possibly a little confusing at times during this long-term transit. Sometimes it's about shared assets or support. The boundaries that are normally drawn between what's yours/what's mine may be blurred somewhat at this time. A partner might have unsettled finances, and this could impact your own finances, for example. Do be wary of anything that even slightly resembles fraud. Lending others money may be a lesson in frustration during this cycle. Otherwise, this is a time for learning much about dependencies, addictions, dreams, inner motivations, and power dynamics.

Plutotransits your solar sixth this year.

This transit brings gradual but profound changes to your daily routines and habits. You should certainly watch for straining yourself by working too hard when Pluto itself is strained or under pressure. During the course of this very long-term transit, you are learning about new ways of approaching health matters, particularly by uncovering root or core issues. Your work and habits are also evolving in important ways. This is a good period for ridding yourself of bad habits or routines, but be careful that you don't replace one bad habit with another!

Expectations transform this year. Intensity and passion are craved now, and mediocre will no longer do it for you with your work, health, and habits.

All year, the North Node transits your solar eighth house, and this suggests that some of the greatest joys - and challenges - come through your attachments to others, your own feelings of being empowered, and your ability to share yourself with others.
