The Year 2009 Horoscope for Leo

(Written December 2008)

The Big Picture
A major difference this year is the emergence of Jupiter, a planet aligned with support and success above the horizon in the 2009 Leo horoscope. This completes an apprenticeship, and most important shift over the last six years, as Jupiter has transited the underbelly of your chart. It can also coincide with greater public confidence, as if you are emerging from the shadows and into the limelight as indenture becomes practice. The year ahead prefaces a more optimistic and encouraging time, especially where relationships and close connections are concerned. Money and assets may still be an issue. You are working harder in this area and laying some strong foundations, but unexpected expenses tend to level the books. It’s valuable to keep some reserve in the tank. The eclipse cycle moves through your sign this August precipitating home and family changes for those born near August 6, and new beginnings around the August 20 birth dates.

Romance and Relationships
You have the most optimistic and idealistic union of Jupiter and Neptune in your partnership zone throughout 2009. This can accompany the holiday of a lifetime, or some of your most cherished dreams coming true, via a partner. It can also suggest seeing others through rose colored glasses, and living in great expectation. Here we have the aspect of the true romantic, the one who looks for, and often finds, inspiration through others. Spiritual unions are a distinct possibility, as egos merge in telepathic melding when ethereal Neptune meets expansive Jupiter. You may also be dealing more in the world of media spin, or stepping into situations where image counts as substance. Whether any of this is living in reality is probably totally irrelevant, as philosophers still cannot get a grip on what is real anyway. And they have even more difficulty defining love.

Career and Finance
In the more pragmatic world of finance and career, where the law of the jungle is the norm, believing in the promise of others can be fatal. Yet there will be plenty of promises made this year, and you will encounter the typical fair-weather friends along the way, particularly in the May to August. It may be necessary to ‘play the game’ but not get swept up in the euphoria. It’s not as if you don’t get genuine support here too, but you also get some ‘pie in the sky’ promises, in a period of separating fact from fiction. There can be a stop-start energy around your work routine this coming year, with financial fluctuations suggesting both ups and downs. Financial independence will be something you strive harder for in 2009. Those born at the very start and very end of the sign are best suited to embarking on new projects, and will tend to be more self-reliant in their work.

Self Improvement
A lot of your progress will be as a result of having a more positive attitude toward yourself, and in your interactions with others. In the immediate past perhaps you have under-estimated your own abilities, or felt reticent to share your skills. But this year unveils a different scenario, and one in which greater recognition and appreciation plays a part. You don’t have to believe everything everyone says – there’s a lot of sweet talkers – but it all makes fine music for your soul.
