The Year 2008 Horoscope for Leo

(Written December 2007)

The Big Picture
Over the last couple of years you have been patiently building a different life for yourself. This hasn’t always been easy. There have been many detours and obstacles along the way testing your patience and objectivity. Last year brought some positive new directions, and the recognition that life isn’t confined simply to responsibilities, and obligations. Your life is also yours alone to enjoy. Your Leo horoscope for 2008 says that living true to yourself, and following your heart is very nuch on the agenda. You are making major adjustments to the routine obligations. And when it comes to rescheduling, perhaps the most obvious routines are those represented by the structured patterns of our daily work. They’re all due for an overhaul.

Over the last year self-growth has come through creative enterprise. Now it’s time to perfect your inventive skills, and put inspiration into practise. Many Leos are returning to the workforce. Others will turn hobbies into genuine paying concerns. Those who have perhaps given up the job to start a family for example will go back to their profession. Leo’s with an abundance of artistic talent will reap material reward for their efforts. And for the older Leos, children will finally leave the nest and enter the workforce, allowing you greater time to pursue your own interests and career. Relationships, due for a revitalisation, should run smoother than last year with a healing quality attached.

Romance and Relationships
This has been one of your greatest challenges over the last couple of years. It’s primarily due to Neptune, the dreamer, moving through your relationship zone. Neptune is fine for inspiration and flights of fantasy, and good old-fashioned romance. It doesn’t, however, sit quite as well when making practical decisions around who you choose to share these moments with. In fact objectivity is sometimes the last thing on your mind. But the mindset of why spoil a dream by waking up may have played merry hell between February and July last year – the most difficult period for Leo relationships.

Here the universe was encouraging you toward greater self-sufficiency, and the partner was either nowhere to be found, or there may have been genuine loss attached. Assuming you’ve survived the Neptune storm - it is much kinder this year. And that goes for your relationship ruler Saturn as well. January, and September onward can provide the impetus for a whole new take on caring and sharing. The eclipse cycle promises renewal around relationships early February and August respectively. Chiron and the Nodal cycle affecting your house of equal partnerships also suggests more associations with a healing quality attached. Although February seems to be a pivotal period, Mercury’s long stay in your partnership zone suggests more correspondence, agreements and matters talked over from January through to mid-March

Career and Finance
This is probably the greatest area of change for Leo. Security conscious Saturn is encouraging you to secure your financial future more than ever over the next two years. Simultaneously Jupiter, the bringer of expansive opportunity, along with Pluto the harbinger of deep transformation have both entered your house of work, health and habit. Together they can guide you toward scoring the dream job during 2008. There is joy involved in your work, even though it may be plentiful. Areas of education, travel, law, publishing and cultural affairs offer the maximum growth and rewards. You have the chance to revolutionise your professional life, and expansive Jupiter’s supportive aspects with pragmatic Saturn in your money house in late January, and especially September through to the end of November suggest greater security than before.

Self Improvement
The greatest challenge of the year lies in structuring your resources and securing greater assets. The past couple of years have reminded you of the limitations of living in the material world. Even if money isn’t a prerogative, its ready supply affects the day-to-day choices you make. Securing your financial future can provide greater freedom and the ability to manifest many of your dreams. You’re becoming increasingly aware of that and this year underscores greater responsibility surrounding money and the work ethic.
